Podcast #923 – “The Orville” Music for Season Two – 2312.31

As has been tradition, Vartok does a guest cast either at the end of the year or first one in the New Year. He is here this week with a super cool podcast all about the music from season 2 of “The Orville.” I love the series and Vartok does his usual great job giving us lots of background info. Here is some info from Vartok himself on this show.

Owing to the influence of executive producer and creator Seth MacFarlane, the music to the spacefaring series The Orville, Season 2, is more than just a backdrop.  The music is really a vital force that propels the narrative forward, adding layers of emotion, tension, and depth to the already captivating universe of The Orville.  Composers John Debney, Joel McNeely, and Andrew Cottee, along with Bruce Broughton who created the Main Title and End Title themes, showcased their musical prowess delivering a symphonic masterpiece as you take a sonic journey through the cosmos.  Vartok presents his analysis and provides examples in this one-hour tribute to The Music of the Orville Season 2.

I really enjoy these podcasts as I’m a big soundtrack and music fan too. Big thanks to Vartok for this guest podcast.

A big Happy 2024 New Year to all my listeners. Hope the year starts off great for you! Take care and I’ll be here next weekend with a brand-new show!

Vidcast #922 – “Merry Trekmas” – 2312.24

This week it’s my annual Christmas vidcast. I look back on some of my favorite geek entertainment of the past year. There was a lot of great stuff in 2023. I also share a quick video tour of the “Rico Cave” as well as a little giveaway for my TSF Patreon supporters. Hope you enjoy the show and have very Happy Holidays! Vartok will be here next week and I’ll be back in two weeks with a new show to start 2024! Take care!

Here’s the vidcast!

Podcast #921 – “Picard Episode 3.1” – 2312.10

This week I do a full episode commentary for the first episode of season 3 of “Star Trek: Picard.” I first comment on the recent set of three “Doctor Who” specials and especially about the last and most recent one. Spoilers in the cast if you have not seen this yet. Then I move on to the Trek audio commentary. Really great to revisit this first episode of the final season of Picard. I forgot how much they crammed into this episode. It really does a great job at setting the stage for the whole season. Of course, we all loved season three and I had a great time watching and commenting on this one. More to come in the future.

That’s it for this week. Next week will be a skip week, but I’ll be back in two weeks with my annual Christmas holiday vidcast. Until then take care and be safe.

Podcast #919 – “Ahsoka” – 2311.12

This week I got together with my friend Joe to talk all about the “Ahsoka” TV series. It ended a bit more than a month ago and there are some spoilers in this so you have been warned. Really fun talking with Joe about this latest cool “Star Wars” TV series. More coming in 2024 and beyond of course. Hope you enjoy our discussion.

Podcast #917 – NYCC 2023 – 2310.15

This week a little change in plans. I cover the news coming out of New York Comic Con 2023. First up, I talk about the usual type of stuff and a recent trip to a wedding in Atlanta. Also a bit on recent movies and TV too. Next, I cover the news coming out of NYCC 2023. Mainly I reference this article HERE and comment on some of the upcoming geeky content coming soon. Not a huge bunch of announcements really in my view but a few fun things to look forward too. Also some news on “Star Trek: Prodigy” getting new home – which is great news! Hope you enjoyed this podcast.

Next week will be either guest podcast or I’ll be back with another show and in two weeks it’s the annual Halloween vidcast. Take care until then and enjoy your week.

Podcast #916 – “Observer Effect” – 2310.01

Brand new, classic style show with a look at an episode from season 4 of “Star Trek: Enterprise.” First, I talk some about what I’ve been watching and other topics. By the way “Meg 2” was a lot of fun!

The episode “Observer Effect” is from season 4 and near the end of the series. It’s a cool “bottle-ship” episode with the crew dealing with a deadly virus while being observed by aliens who can inhabit a human host. Fun episode to watch with you and comment on.

Next weekend I will be out of town at a wedding so it will be a skip week. In two weeks I plan to do a show talking about the “Ahsoka” TV series. Until next time take care and enjoy the next couple of weeks.
