Episode 108 - Star Trek: Nemesis Film Review!

December 2, 2018

This week we continue our long-running series of reviewing all the Muppet and Star Trek films with Star Trek: Nemesis! Worst Star Trek film? Or simply misunderstood?

Since the film heavily features the planets Romulus and Remus, Steve delves into the “real life” Romulus and Remus from myth and legend.

We also have Nerdy News of retiring and debuts of pop culture characters and unethical genetic editing.

Also, some Technobabble Imrpov, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of Mary Poppins Returns, The Lion King, and Anna and the Apocalypse.

Intro music provided with permission by the awesome Jimmy Hinson of Big Giant Circles. Find him Bandcamp or iTunes!

Join us for our ongoing series of reviewing all the films in the Star Trek and Muppets film franchises with…The Muppets Wizard of Oz! Ok…it’s a pretty rough film, so we also discuss some interesting trivia and myths and legends surrounding the original 1939 The Wizard of Oz film.

We also have Nerdy News of weirdly blinking stars and weirdly shaped poop…scientifically speaking.

Then there are some Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of Once Upon a Deadpool, Replicas, and Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.

Episode 106 - 25 Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time?

November 14, 2018

Paste Magazine recently released their giant list of the 100 Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time, so we thought we would take a crack at their top 25. Were they way off-base? Did they get it just right? We know that YOU know that OUR opinions matter more, so listen in as we take it apart!

Beforehand, Steve regales us with first-hand stories of the California wildfires. Also, Nerdy News of the future of Game of Thrones and a new Star Wars TV series! And before our feature, can you guess if it’s a classic Sci-Fi film title or an indie band? Plus, Would You Rather, Radical Recommends, and Trailer Reviews of Detective Pikachu and Toy Story 4!

Episode 104 - European Vacation(s)

October 26, 2018

Jarman just got back from a long trip across northern Europe…so what better time to review the 1985 classic…National Lampoon’s European Vacation?! Ok…maybe not that classic. But it was a fun ride to watch and review.

Steve also regales us with some European trivia, takes a new spin on our old game with Europop Band or Smut Search, we throw in some Radical Recommends, and then Trailer Reviews of The Kid Who Would Be King and Netflix’s Bird Box.

It’s mentioned in the podcast before it begins, but we want to once again apologize for some audio distortion throughout this episode. It wasn’t evident as the episode was recording. We are trying to address the issue so it will not disturb your ears next time!
