This week guest host Mark Daniels returns with a look at the film, “Colossus: The Forbin Project.”  It’s a classic Sci-Fi film from 1970 about a sentient super computer gone wild.  I saw this film several times over the years and always enjoyed it very much.  It’s also very relevant these days with computers and other devices becoming such a big part of our lives.  Here are a few words from Mark about his podcast for this week.

“Hello Everybody!  This Mark Daniels from the Great Pacific Northwest.  (I’m M-5 on the Treksinscifi forum.)  On this week’s episode I’ll take a look at another blast from the past.  It’s Colossus:  The Forbin Project.  This movie is the Granddaddy of technology run amok movies.  It’s a great movie!  I hope you all enjoy it. “ 

Thanks again Mark for covering such a classic in science fiction film history.  Next weekend I will be back with a Skype chat that will be recorded on Saturday May 4th talking all about the upcoming summer movies.  That should be a lot of fun.  In the meantime take care and enjoy your week.

P.S.  You can watch the entire film of “Colossus: The Forbin Project” down below.

This week on the podcast we are back to a classic style show.  I begin the podcast with a discussion about the lastest “Star Trek Into Darkness” trailer that came out last week.  It’s an exciting trailer and we get quite a bit more information about the movie this time out.  I’m getting very excited to see this and the next 4 weeks or so are going to fly by I think.  I also talk briefly about the new Sci-Fi film, “Oblivion” that I saw just yesterday.  This is a cool movie and fun to see even if it does borrow some ideas and elements from other films and stories I have seen before.  Then I share some personal news about the new job I recently accepted an offer for that will start in a few weeks.  It’s going to be a pretty big change for me, but I’m excited about it all.  Then it’s on to the main topic for the podcast for this week.

The TOS episode “Plato’s Stepchildren” is an interesting and fun third season entry.  This is actually a favorite of mine from this season.  It tells the tale of the Platonians who are a genetically engineered group of aliens who have a very powerful telekinetic ability that allows them to control the crew of the Enterprise when they visit them to help.  I like a lot about this episode and we get to see some unusual things, like Spock singing and the famous scene of Captain Kirk kissing Uhura.  The guest star, Michael Dunn who plays Alexander is excellent too.  All in all, a cool episode and one I’m glad I finally got to cover for all of you.  I also play Rick Moyer’s comments that he sent in about this episode too.  Thanks Rick!

Then I wrap up the podcast with a look ahead for the next few weeks on the show.  I hope everyone liked this week’s podcast.  Make sure to tune in next weekend when Mark Daniels will return to guest host with a look at the classic, Sci-Fi film called, “Colossus:  The Forbin Project.”  Take care and enjoy the week ahead everyone.

Hello folks!  This week guest hosts Chris and newcomer Chuck cover this cool series called “Robotech.”  I’ve only seen a little of this series so I’m very happy to have others cover it that know it well.  I’m a fan of anime and this is certainly a ground-breaking series in the genre.  Here are some words from Chris about the show:

Hey, it’s Chris and this week I’m covering Robotech. This time I have brought along my old friend Charles Bingham to help me out. We talk about the characters, mecha, and music of the classic 80’s show, and a general overview of the story of the “Macross Saga”, the first 36 episodes of Robotech. We also discuss the future of the franchise, and some current geek topics in the news this week. Put your Veritech in Guardian Mode and reminisce about the classic anime series Robotech with us.

I want to thank Chris and Chuck for filling in for me this week.  Thanks much guys for doing such a cool show.  I will return next weekend with a look at the classic TOS episode, “Plato’s Stepchildren.”  Along with “Into Darkness” talk and much more geeky goodness.  Take care until then and enjoy your week.

This week the podcast comes a day early and it’s a special show for all of you.  I got a chance to interview author Nicholas Eftimiades.  He has written a very funny sci-fi novel called, “Edward of Planet Earth.”  Nick and I got together over Skype and chatted about his book at length (no spoilers) and many topics related to how he went about writing this book, his inspirations for many of the high tech ideas in the book and much more.  We even manage to fit in a little “Star Trek” talk too.  It was a pleasure speaking with Nick, he is a very interesting person and has definitely led an interesting life in his career and outside endeavours.  I urge everyone to check out his very cool, and very believable novel, “Edward of Planet Earth.”  I know you will enjoy it.
