Podcast # 848 – Potter Rerun – 2201.16

This week it’s a repeat show from 2015 when my friend Kenny and I covered the first Harry Potter film and book. We have been slowly working our way through the Potter series and with the new HBO special I thought it would be fun to look back on this first show we did. One comment I have to say is my side of the audio is not great on this show. Can’t quite recall why that was the case. But in any case, I hope you enjoy revisiting this podcast or listening for the first time.

Next week my plan is to cover “The Expanse” since it ended it’s run as a series. Should be a lot of fun. Thanks to Kenny for his help with this podcast and others in the series we have done. I hope we can record a new Potter cast soon too. Take care and enjoy your week ahead.

Podcast # 847 – Spidey Team-Up – 2201.09

This week Chris and I got together to talk about the new film, “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” There are some spoilers in the podcast, so you have been warned. We talk about our history with the character in the comics and also the other previous films too. Then we discuss this newest movie (shocker – we both really liked it). Fun time talking about this film.

Later in the show we talk a bit about the newest Matrix film, the current Boba Fett TV series and even some “Star Trek: Discovery” too. A pretty wide ranging nerd chat. Big thanks to Chris for joining me this week. Check out his newest show he does with Joe called “Journey to Wonder” which can be found where you get your podcasts, of course.

Next week will be a guest cast or repeat show. Until next time take care and enjoy your week.

Podcast # 846 – Music of Clinton Shorter – 2201.02

This week Vartok is guest hosting for the first podcast of 2022. He covers the great music of Clinton Shorter who does the music on “The Expanse” TV and other properties. I love the TV series and the music and Vartok does another amazing job covering the music and composer. By the way, Vartok sent me an amazing document filled with all kinds of info on “The Expanse” series, the music, the actors, and more. Spoilers if you haven’t seen the series. If you want to download the document find at VARTOK’s NOTES. Big thanks to Vartok for another great podcast.

Podcast # 843 – “VIRTUAL REALITY” – 2112.12

This week’s show is a very cool and fun topic – VIRTUAL REALITY. Mainly in movies and a few other things. First up I talk about the usual stuff such as what I’ve been watching. I’m excited for the next “Spider-Man” movie coming out later this week too! Lots of great new things to watch these days on TV and out at the movies too – much better than last year.

The main topic is virtual reality in films and I run down several of the big franchises in this area and some more obscure movies as well. Things like “Tron” and “The Matrix” are covered and I play trailers for several of these. I do love the idea of getting lost in a VR world and I think this type of movie will be one that will be a regular thing for many years to come.

That’s it for this week. If you want to send in a short, holiday video clip make sure I have them by Dec. 22nd. They can be emailed to me at: treksf@gmail.com. Next week will be a guest cast by Mark. I’ll be back just before Christmas with my annual holiday vidcast. Until next time, take care and enjoy your week.

Podcast # 842 – “Picard – Episode 2” – 2111.28

This week it’s a classic style episode. I start out talking about the recent “Ghostbusters” film (no spoilers). I also share some comments about the recent TV I’m enjoying (so much to watch) and then on move on to the Trek episode.

This week it’s all about the second episode of the “Picard” series called “Maps and Legends.” I play the episode and do a full audio commentary while watching the episode. There is a lot of info packed into this episode and we meet some other characters that are important to the season too. I liked watching this one again while talking about it.

That’s it for this week. Next week will be a repeat episode of a guest. Until next time, stay safe and enjoy your week ahead.
