Podcast # 265 – Short lived SF & Fantasy TV – 1002.07
The podcast this weekend covers short lived (about a season or less) Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV shows. I've covered things like this a bit before, but I wanted to do more and talk about some gems that I both really enjoyed and miss a lot. All of these series (in my view) deserved to get longer runs, but it wasn't in the cards I guess. Anyway, I start the show out with the usual talk about my job and housing situation. Things are working out pretty well and I'm fairly settled in now. It's still hard to be away from ...
Podcast # 264 – “The Most Toys” – 1001.31
This weekend on the podcast I am doing my first, truly official podcast from my new rental house in Illinois. Got my computer and sound gear here, so all should be pretty normal to your ears. I first fill folks in a bit on the house situation and my new job. Everything is working out pretty well, but I've been very busy and it was nice to do something normal like a podcast this weekend. I chat a little about the release of the upcoming "Star Trek: Online" game and things related to my preorder at Gamestop. Also, a ...
Podcast # 263 – “Fellowship of the Ring” – 1001.24
This weekend on the podcast I finally tackle the first LOTR film, "The Fellowship of the Ring." This is one of my favorite fantasy films and also my favorite of the trilogy. I first chat a little about my recently new job, some Trek news and other geeky topics. Not a huge amount going on lately, but there are some interesting things, like the upcoming "Star Trek: Online" that is due out on Feb. 2nd. I haven't had a chance to play the beta yet, but I'm anxious to try it out. I'm also a bit behind on my ...
Podcast # 262 – No Agenda – 1001.17
Well, this weekend I have a different kind of podcast for you. I am recording it in my hotel room in Rockford, IL. I stayed over here this weekend due to my new job. I had planned on trying to do the "Fellowship of the Ring" podcast anyway, but I was having trouble getting the audio clips and things I wanted to use, so that is postponed until next weekend. Instead, I do a sort of acoustic, casual type of podcast this time. I fill everyone in on my job and how that's been going. I also talk some Trek ...
Podcast # 261 – “The Aenar” – 1001.10
This weekend on the podcast I cover the Enterprise episode, "The Aenar" and some other Trek and Sci-Fi entertainment topics. I also have a pretty big announcement regarding my job status - and it's good news too! But first, I cover the usual range of news and geeky stuff. It seems the next Trek movie has an unofficial release date of June 29, 2012. This isn't set in stone, but it seems like a very likely time to release the next film. So, only about 2.5 years to go right now! I'm still enjoying "Dollhouse" and really looking forward ...
Podcast # 260 – John Williams – 1001.03
This first weekend we have a special treat for all of you. For this podcast is a guest hosted cast with musical expert Vartok covering the vast library of composer John Williams. Quie a big topic but Vartok covers it with a deftness and beadth that is quite amazing for a first time out as a guest host. I am really impressed by his show and I know all of you will enjoy it too. I'll turn the rest of the podcast notes over to him now and I'll talk to you next week. Thanks much Vartok! John Williams: ...
Vidcast # 259 – “Best of 2009” – 0912.27
I did a special, "Best of 2009" in films and TV (at least by the standard of what I liked and enjoyed best). Kind of the 'Rico Awards.' I looked back on the last year and selected a small group of films and a small group of TV shows that I really enjoyed and loved watching. I moved through the entries fairly quickly and most of these I have talked about before - some at great length. But this kind of sums up my favorites from 2009 in Sci-Fi entertainment. Keep also in mind that there are many other movies ...
Podcast # 258 – “11:59” – 0912.20
This weekend on the podcast I cover a Voyager episode with a full commentary while I watch the show. The episode is called, "11:59" and is from season five of the Voyager series. First, I comment a bit on the recently released movie, "Avatar" by James Cameron and many others. This movie is a technological feast and amazing looking piece of work. But it also has a nice story and a lot of heart at the center of it. Got a chance to see it on opening day and was really impressed by what I saw. I didn't see it ...

Patrick Stewart to become, Sir Patrick
It seems Captain Picard, or really actor Patrick Stewart is going to go where no Starfleet captain has gone before – become a knight. The Queen of England seems to be a big fan of Patrick’s and it seems he will become Sir Patrick and be knighted in early 2010. This is quite an honor and I’m sure Patrick is quite thrilled. He...

30 Years of the Motion Picture
Today, Dec. 7th, 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the first Trek film, “Star Trek – The Motion Picture.” I can still remember getting to the theater early on a cold night in Michigan to see this movie and was blown away at the opening sequence as I saw huge Klingon ships on the big screen for the very first time. While this may... [Read more of this review]
