Podcast #989 – “Maul and Trek” – 2605.10

This time on the podcast I cover a big range of topics. I start by talking about the new “Mortal Kombat II” movie that I saw recently (and I liked it). Then I talk about some other recent TV and movies I’ve been watching too. Next, I cover the “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” TV series that just wrapped up it’s first season about one week ago. I thought this series was great! Some of the best “Star Wars” in some time. A few slight spoilers in my discussion on this topic. Then I quickly run down some of my favorite TOS episodes. So many great ones to choose from. But it was fun talking about some of my favorites again from my most favorite Trek series. That’s it for this time folks. I’ll be back in about two weeks with a new show (hopefully covering the 2026 Motor City Comic Con). Until next time, take care, be safe, and be kind.

Podcast #988 – “The Librarians” – 2604.28

This week I cover a very fun series and set of movies. First, I talk about what I have been watching recently along with some comments about upcoming Trek and other news. Then on to the main topic of “The Librarians” franchise. This show started off as three made for TV movies and was soon followed up by a TV series that ran for 4 seasons along with a brand new series that is now filming season two. The shows have a great cast and lots of fun adventures. It has an Indiana Jones vibe which of course I love. If you haven’t ever tried this show, give it a shot. I think you’d enjoy it.

That’s it for this week. Everyone stay well, stay safe and stay nerdy! Take care until next time.

Podcast #987 – “The Voyager Conspiracy” – 2604.12

This week it’s a classis style podcast. First, as usual I talk about recent movies and TV I’ve watched including a spoiler free review of a recent movie called “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.” I very odd but ultimately cool movie I thought. Then on the the Trek episode commentary. The episode “The Voyager Conspiracy” I think is a solid episode from season 6. It’s another Seven heavy episode where she starts to take on too much info and data and starts to create wild theories about various crew on the ship. Fun one to watch again and cover.

That’s all for this time. Thanks as always for tuning in and listening. Take care until next time!

Podcast #986 – News and Comics – 2603.29

This week I cover several topics. First, I talk about the new “Project Hail Mary” movie. No spoilers, but I loved it (loved the book too). I give some commentary about the recent cancellation of “Starfleet Academy” and what this might mean for the Trek franchise. I also comment on the new “Harry Potter” series coming later this year. And finally I talk about my love of comics, what I’ve been reading and a bit more comic related talk too. It was a wide ranging and fun podcast to record. Hope everyone enjoys it. And until next time, take care and be safe out there. Special thanks to Vartok for his cool podcast ender he sent me to use on the show.

Podcast #985 – “Vartok Experience” – 2603.22

This week Vartok is back with a guest podcast. I’ll let him tell you all about it.

During the 1990s the Las Vegas Strip re-imagined itself to become a more family-oriented vacation destination by rebuilding the hotels and casinos into mega-resorts with more theme-oriented attractions.  Once such example was the MGM Hotel which added a $100M MGM Grand Adventure Park.  Downtown Las Vegas, located about 4 miles from the Strip, saw that 70% of Vegas revenues were going to the Strip and decided to hold a contest for ideas to bring more attention to downtown businesses.  The top concept was to build a full-scale Starship Enterprise as an attraction, but that idea was voted down by the Paramount CEO at the time.  However, the group proposing the Starship Enterprise pivoted to creating The Star Trek Experience, located in the Hilton Hotel near the convention center.  The Star Trek Experience opened on January 3, 1998 to much fanfare.  It came to have two major attractions: The Klingon Experience, and Borg Invasion 4D, along with the Promenade, The History of the Future Museum, and Quark’s Bar and Grill.  By 2008 attendance had dropped to the point that The Experience was sadly closed on September 1, 2008.  This podcast covers the history of the Star Trek Experience and relates what you encountered by participating in this unique and immersive experience.

Big thanks to Vartok for another cool and fun podcast. I’ll be back next week with a new show. Until next time stay well and safe out there!

Podcast #984 – “Starfleet Academy” – 2603.15

This week I talk about season one of “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.” First I do my usual rundown of recent TV and movies I’ve been watching (beyond SFA) and I also give out my 2026 Oscar predictions which is happening later on tonight. I’ve seen a good number of the nominated films this year. Then on to the main topic.

Overall I liked season one of SFA. There were some bumps and a few things that made me go, hmm, but overall it was a fun 10 episodes. I like the characters and cast a lot so that helps. I talk about the last two episodes of the season and give some thoughts on the current trend of some “fans” online who just seem to want to “hate” on everything. I also have a nice audio clip from Rick and Amy Moyer on their thoughts on this most recent Trek series. Big thanks to them for sending that in.

That’s it for this time. Hope you enjoyed this podcast. Vartok will be here next week with a very special podcast all about the “Star Trek: Experience” that he visited in Vegas when that was still going. Until next time, take care and stay well.

Podcast #983 – “Magical TV Series” – 2603.01

This week I talk more about “Starfleet Academy” and the recent episodes. I talk about other things I’m watching recently as well. Then on to the main topic. I run down several fairly recent TV series that all have in common that they involve magic. Many of these are big favorites of mine like “The Magicians” and the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” among several others like “Locke and Key.” All great things to watch if you enjoy magical fantasy type TV. It was fun to run these down and discuss them on the podcast. I hope I mentioned one of two that peaked your interest. Check them out when you can.

That’s it for this week folks. Stay healthy and safe and keep smiling!
