Vidcast #964 – “Wand Props” – 2506.22

This week it’s a vidcast cover the cool TOS props made by The Wand Company. I just snagged the new TOS tricorder with a little help from my buddy Jedi Jeff in Canada – since these were not shipping direct to the US – yet. It’s an awesome piece! And now I have the holy trinity of TOS props made by The Wand Company. Really some amazing stuff!

That’s all I cover this week. I’ll be back in two weeks with a new podcast. Stay well until next time!

Podcast #963 – “Impulse” – 2506.08

This week a classic style show featuring an episode of “Star Trek: Enterprise.” First up, I talk about the new TV I ordered and will be here “on Tuesday.” I’m getting excited to have a bigger screen and new TV to watch cool stuff on. I talk about the latest “Mission Impossible” movie and some Trek news too. Then it’s on to the main topic.

The episode “Impulse” is fairly early in season three of the series. I like this one quite a bit. It’s pretty straight forward with a tight script and good performances – especially by Jolene. Cool visuals in this one too. Fun to revisit an Enterprise episode and can’t believe it’s over 20 years since this first aired back in 2003!

That’s it for this week folks. Hope you all are well. I’ll talk to you again in two weeks. Take care!

Podcast #962 – More Andor – 2505.25

This week it’s mainly all about various “Star Wars” topics and especially season 2 of “Andor.” I talk about my current new TV search and about other TV and movies I’m watching lately. Then on to the main topic for the week. “Andor” season two recently wrapped up and I very much enjoyed it. So much so I watched “Rogue One” again a few days later after the end of “Andor.” I definitely enjoy that movie more now after two seasons of “Andor” and learning more about Cassian and the early Rebellion era. Great series! We also have a music moment by Vartok this week and thanks to him for that!

That’s it for this time. Take care and I’ll talk to you again in two weeks!

P.S. I got the start date for SNW season three wrong on the podcast. It starts on July 17, not July 7th.

Podcast #961 – Summer 2025 Movies – 2505.11

This week I run down the movies I’m most excited to see this upcoming summer of 2025 movie season. I talk about season 2 of “Andor” and other TV and movies before the main topic. This summer, we get four comic related films (one already has arrived) and they all look very good. Plus another “Mission Impossible” film, another Jurassic Park and more. It could be a big summer for movies and big money for Hollywood. I’m very excited to see all the films this year. Oh, I think I kept calling the Mission Impossible movie “Dead Reckoning” on the podcast but this new one if called “Final Reckoning.” Sorry about that.

That’s it for this time. I’ll be back in two weeks with more geeky goodness. Take care until then!

Podcast #960 – “Albatross” – 2504.27

Today a classic style show with a Trek episode commentary. I talk about recent TV and movies, including some comments on season two of “The Last of Us” and “Andor” as well. Mainly spoiler free but I warn you ahead of time. Then it’s on to the animated “Star Trek” episode called “Albatross.” This is a fun little episode and not too complex. I love watching the animated series now and then. I can recall this was all we had along with TOS reruns when I was growing up. That’s all for this week. I’ll be back in two weeks with a new show until then take care and enjoy the nicer weather!

On today’s podcast we look back at season one of Andor as we prepare for season 2 which starts next week. I first talk a bit about my new job and some recent TV and movies I’ve been watching. Lots of good stuff to watch lately on streaming networks. Then it’s on to Andor. I discuss season one in detail and what I liked and a couple things I didn’t like as much. I also play a good recap of season one that you can find on YouTube HERE. It’s a good and sometimes funny retelling of season one. I’m excited for season two and hope it’s as exciting as the trailers make it look.

That’s it for this time out. Hope you enjoyed the show. I’ll be back in two weeks with more geeky goodness. Until next time take care and stay well.

Podcast #958 – The Year 1982 – 2503.30

This week I go back to one of my regular type of podcasts, covering a particular year in movies. First I talk about my job change a bit more and a bit about what I’ve been watching lately. Then on to the main topic. The year, 1982 was incredible for Sci-Fi and fantasy based films. Everything from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”, to “Blade Runner” and “Tron” and many more. I cover some of the big ones that crazy summer of 1982 when almost every week some new future classic film was coming out. It was amazing! I wish we had that kind of crazy creativity these days. I need a billion dollars to start my own movie studio! Hope you enjoy this look back at the movies of 1982 that we all still love.
