You know, it's fun because just like that.

36
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.000
You know, it was even funnier that I didn't tell you.

37
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.319
When I opened the package, the cards, the business cards

38
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.879
exploded everywhere.

39
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.199
It was great.

40
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:53.479
You'll have that.

41
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:54.759
That was that was funny.

42
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.800
We're gonna I'm gonna say hello to Ara.

43
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.919
I'm doing pretty good. V's T shirt. It has me

44
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.159
thinking that we need to get like Little Iron on

45
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.000
V's that we can add to each one of our

46
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.280
track talking T shirts. You know, because now in our

47
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.680
logo she sort of poofs in, right, we need to

48
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.400
have her on the T shirt I think.

49
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.120
I need to have except my little avatar doesn't have arms.

50
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.400
You got to add the flappy arms.

51
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.520
There you go, it does need flappy arms. That's your

52
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:34.960
new signature item. I guess, well, I you know, I

53
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.240
had planned to not really have anything to say in

54
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.159
today's intro, but I decided that since v was kind

55
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.800
of remember that a couple of weeks ago when she

56
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.000
was really blue and there wasn't really anything we could

57
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.879
do about it. So it looks like my camera settings

58
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.960
are off because I look particularly red today and I'm

59
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.240
not really sure. I don't have a sunburn. I promise you,

60
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.159
I'm not sure why I'm so red, But that's what

61
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.680
today is going to be funny. Today I am and

62
00:03:59.719 --> 00:03:59.840
I go.

63
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.879
Eric came to Vegas and got a sunburn.

64
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.280
It's what it looks like. It's amazing. I think I

65
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.039
need to adjust my camera settings. But now the podcast

66
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.159
has started, I'm I'm dumed. This is the way it

67
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:12.759
is for the day.

68
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.240
Well, I can do editing when I went after we

69
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.519
get done recording, I'll see what I can do about that.

70
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.800
If you can make me not look like a strawberry,

71
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:23.680
that would be awesome.

72
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:34.920
Oh, so out when we have a very own miracle worker, David,

73
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:35.519

00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.759
Doing, I'm doing okay.

75
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.560
It's been kind of exciting. I took a nap and

76
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:43.240
I woke away.

77
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:48.759

No I no I woke I took a nap and

82
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.959

you know, on the space ship.

84
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.480

it out there to my incredible truck sperts, what should

140
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.480

141
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.959

144
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.160
a little bit of a little bit of a preview

145
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.519
of what we're going to talk about.

146
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.879
What we're not going to talk about.

147
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.560
Yes yet, I rearranged the show a little bit to

148
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.040
give Paul a chance to catch up with us. So

149
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.720

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:40.720
Yes, absolutely, I we have. My first fan is Stacy Harman,

207
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:46.200
who is saying hello to us from Saint Louis, Missouri

208
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.600
with the wonderful Saint Louis arch which I went on

209
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:50.679
ages ago.

210
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.720
Scary as heck, with a little.

211
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.919
Pod that they put you in that funks its way up.

212
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.799
But that is the gateway to the west. Thank you

213
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.440
Stacey for saying hello to us next time and.

214
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:10.039
The like you you now know this. But the coolest

215
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.320
thing about the Saint Louis Arts, if you think about it, people,

216
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.679
is that in order to get to the top, you're

217
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.200
going to the top of an arch So that elevator

218
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:22.320
that you get in, yes, rotates while you go. It

219
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.879
was terrify a level disposition. Yeah, and the last time

220
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.480
I was on it was like twenty years ago. But

221
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.919
it kind of goes up and then it like clicks

222
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.600
into a different position and then it kind of goes it.

223
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.399
Yeah.

224
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.480
Yeah, I was really amazing. Sorry, I just wanted to

225
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.240
share that really cool experience and like one that you

226
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.080
can't have anywhere else. And that's true.

227
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.960
And I remember that we actually had a movie in

228
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.480
school where when they were making it and they had

229
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.480
the two sides and they're going to put that last

230
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.840
you know, the observation deck thing, and the two arms

231
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.039
are not quite meeting, so they had it like crank

232
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.080
one down and then lock it in. So yeah, quite

233
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.120
a feed of engineering, alrighty, So yeah, I don't think

234
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.240
I'll go in there anytime soon because I just I

235
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.200
don't like heights. Next, Hello, and thank you to Jeffrey W.

236
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.960

237

240
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:33.240
But thank you to watching us from southern Louisiana or Louisiana,

241
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.879

242
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.559

243
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.200

246
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.080
Oh, thank you.

247
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.399
The let's start off with near here, near to Vegas

248
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.799
here from Los Angeles, Welcome Ben Jackal.

249
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.159
Then I wonder if you're part of the fleet.

250
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.519
Down up down there and from Welcome Rod Owens from

251
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.440
Live Long and Prosper, Texas. Or maybe he just wants

252
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:25.759
us to live long and Prosper and he's from Texas, Okay,

253
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.039
Then from Ohio as he puts it down as Darnell

254
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.080
Colbert and had to put an epheis on it because

255
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.879
he put three explanation points after it, so it really

256
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:44.039
must be emphasize with Ohio. Then we got welcome from

257
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:51.840
Earl Razor, Blade Royster. The third from Almo, North Carolina.

258
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.080
I hope I was close into getting that correct.

259
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.879
That's definitely a mouthful trying to get that city in,

260
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:03.440
but welcome all of you. And I think I'm gonna

261
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.919
try passing this off to Eric because I think I'm

262
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.759
probably gonna botch a couple of names.

263
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:17.080
If I don't, oh, I think we lost. We lost Eric, Okay,

264
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:18.279
well I will.

265
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.720
I'll jump to mine and hopefully Eric will be back.

266
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:27.080
If he's not, I'll butcher my way through them. So

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.559
giving you hard hitting journalism. So I hope it feels

332
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:29.799
like that.

333
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:40.319
It's much better than I like it.

334
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.759
So we're going to start off our Star Trek News

335
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.960
with a segment which is near and dear to Eric's heart.

336
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.799
Heay, my favorite segment. Shantner says, what that's right. William

337
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:58.680
Shannon reveals why opening Star Trek monologue is outdated. Really

338
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:03.079
all right, William Shatner is boldly going with an even

339
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.640
bolder hot take. This is great writing. I love it.

340
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.400
The Star Trek Icon, Who's Captain James T. Kirk labeled

341
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.839
deep space, the final frontier during the original series, has

342
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:19.319
a new perspective on his iconic opening monologue. He says

343
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:24.240
it's not final, the actor explained during an exclusive Sci

344
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:29.400
Fi Wire interview, death is the final frontier, and maybe

345
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:35.119
even not that. If you look at quantum physics, he added,

346
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.640
you may have reason to hope that when we die,

347
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.440
we don't disappear. Our energy goes back home. I'm not

348
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.559
sure what he means by that, but that is interesting.

349
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.559
Star Trek takes place four hundred years from now, he continued,

350
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.559
Humankind is still there. We've got futuristic things that we

351
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.119
fly to the planets and the stars. Nobody dies and

352
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.000
everybody's happy.

353
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.440
Well, did he watch his own movie?

354
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:00.200
That's all over?

355
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.720
Reaching is a little that I.

356
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:05.519
Like, didn't spot them. I mean, I know he came back, man,

357
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.640
I don't know. I don't know, Okay, he said. I

358
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.960
feel energized and I'm focused and I feel great. I

359
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.359
don't know what ninety five feels like. Every time I

360
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.519
hear the number ninety five, I go who who? Who's

361
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.039
ninety five?

362
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:19.319
Here?

363
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.880
Apparently there's not much to tell in terms of health secrets,

364
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.519
but he did note I lead a healthy life. I

365
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.960
essentially don't drink, I don't smoke. Shatner's healthy habits have

366
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:36.599
kept him booked and busy well into his nineties. Yeah,

367
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.880
I mean, I think it's really fun to follow William

368
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.920
Shatner at this point, Like he it's no joke to

369
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.359
be out there and active and doing stuff at ninety

370
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:49.640
five years old. And honestly, I am really impressed. And

371
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.200
I know we poke a little bit of fun at

372
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.880
some of the things that he says sometimes on this podcast,

373
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:58.279
but he also says some like really solid good stuff

374
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:02.880
that I think is totally in line with you twenty

375
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.319
first century thinking. So Bill, thank you for constantly being

376
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.519
a source of news for our podcast, and thank you

377
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:13.480
for being a healthy guy into your mid nineties.

378
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:13.599
Here.

379
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.119
Brother, Yeah, it's gonna be a sad day when you go,

380
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.119
but we're not there yet, so let's we'll talk about

381
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:19.720
that when it comes.

382
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.640
But yeah, I gotta say, he does know how to

383
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:23.680
write movie.

384
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:26.880
Yeah, I was waiting.

385
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.119
It's funny. Well it's funny because there's actually a reference

386
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:32.960
to it later in the Birthdays, and I thought he

387
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.599
would wait, But that's okay, we'll do it twice. We'll

388
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.160
do it twice.

389
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:43.039
Yep, I mean movie got to give him that I'm

390
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.400
on the podcast. I'd love to talk to you about

391
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.599
the movie movie.

392
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:53.039
Yeah, like, like seriously, William Shatner Jim Jaeger is your

393
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.200
movie's biggest fan literally on the planet. Like, if you

394
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.200
ever wanted to talk to somebody about Star Trek five

395
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.480
and literally have somebody who is completely serious about his

396
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.440
diehard love of this movie, this is the right podcast

397
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.000
for you, because you guys, literally the two of you

398
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.920
could just talk for an hour.

399
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:14.039
Would just sit back and let them please do that?

400
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.920
Ye, that would be awesome. I would just listen, would

401
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:20.599
camera and just listen. It would be amazing.

402
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.240
It would be awesome. So Bil Bill, please pick up

403
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.440
the phone, give me a call.

404
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:30.920
Jim's been talking about this for years. Brother, It's no joke.

405
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.720
Like he loves this movie. You can if you like.

406
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:42.000
Uh So, speaking of William Shatner and his awesome movie making,

407
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:47.440
he's also happens to be a musician of sort, And

408
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.920
so we're gonna stick with the William Shatner thinking. And

409
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:53.880
this is a story that we couldn't squeeze in last week.

410
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:59.079
But Eric, what else is going on with mister Shatner, Well.

411
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:00.920
I appreciate you giving me two stories in a row,

412
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.960
because I am particularly excited about this one. I of

413
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.119
course have already forwarded the first sort of preview video

414
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.920
to you all to enjoy the epicness of this announcement.

415
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:16.440
But William Shatner dropped a video for his metal album,

416
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:20.640
and It's as wild as you expect. William Shatner has

417
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:24.039
been to Space, He's helped launch the Star Trek franchise,

418
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.400
and now he's made a metal album. Seemingly taking a

419
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.000
page out of the book of late actor Christopher Lee,

420
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.160
Shatner is the latest elderly celebrity to try to appease

421
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.079
the rock gods. Weeks after shooting down rumors of a

422
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.720
secret meeting with Paramount Plus, Shatner has announced that a

423
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.240
metal album he contributed to Black Flame by Nuclear Messiah

424
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.720
is now available for purchase. He also dropped a video

425
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.839
featuring his bit from the album, and It's as wild

426
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.079
as one might imagine. I mean, it's epic. William Shatner

427
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.119
is featured in the title track for Nuclear Missida's latest album,

428
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.440
as the metal supergroup added the sci fi actor to

429
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.839
its long list of heavy metal contributors taking a look

430
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:09.880
at Shatner as he sets the stage for the face

431
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:14.079
melting madness that is on the way. It's the vocal

432
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.680
chops we'd expect from a celebrity who had a one

433
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.880
and done appearance on the singer.

434
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.640
I mean, you know, that's one way of putting that put.

435
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.400
It performance is a better description than singer I will

436
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.319
I will say, of course William Shatner sing Oh here

437
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.279
it is. William Shatner singing has always been more of

438
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.759
a narration akin to beat poetry, which is of course

439
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.319
how I explain it, and honestly goes pretty well with

440
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:48.319
this metal track titled The Profit of Fallout. Unfortunately, that's

441
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.519
the only track he's directly credited to, though, what a

442
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:54.880
way to kick off an album. Black Flame has a

443
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.599
physical release available for purchase, but can also be found

444
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:04.119
on Spotify and other music streaming services. Now, this is

445
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:06.839
no joke, folks. Nuclear Messiah which is kind of a

446
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.640
funny name, but it is a large metal supergroup that

447
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:13.839
both contributions from thirty five different big names in the industry,

448
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.559
Zach Wilde, Richie Blackmore, Henry Rollins, Are you kidding me?

449
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.640
The Henry Rollins yes, an even alleged one piece fan

450
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.839
Rob Halford. Yes, mister Judas Priest himself contributes to the album,

451
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:32.559
making for a who's who of classic metal legends. So

452
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:35.000
the ninety five year old and activist was the odd

453
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.599
man out on this project, but William Shatner had an

454
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.440
important role to play all the same. I'm sure many

455
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.400
of these rock icons at least knew of him prior

456
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:46.759
to him joining the album, if they hadn't seen him

457
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:49.759
in his various Star Trek appearances and movie roles over

458
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.200
the years. Plus, in an age where the metal genre

459
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.480
isn't quite as thriving in the mainstream as it once was,

460
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.839
it couldn't hurt to get some positive pr from featuring

461
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.119
an actor with two point four million followers on x

462
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.119
to help spread the word. All this to say, I

463
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.720
knew nothing about this album before I saw William Shatner

464
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:13.359
post a video about it, and now I can't wait

465
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:15.759
to listen to the whole thing. That's what we call

466
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:20.839
successful marketing ladies and gentlemen. I do not disagree with

467
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.680
anything that I just read in this awesome article, and

468
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.559
I will tell you these folks that are in Nuclear

469
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.119
Messiah are no joke like they are considered, you know,

470
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.119
part of the industry for the last like thirty forty years,

471
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.559
so some good musicians here. It appeals to a certain

472
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.680
you know, ear you have to kind of like that

473
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.240
old school epic like Iron Maiden style metal. But if

474
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.319
you like that stuff, this record is great and I

475
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:55.279
would totally listen to it. So, David, do you have

476
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:57.640
something special to share with us?

477
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.400
Enjoy this together?

478
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:04.480
Spirits of the.

479
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:11.960
Burning Sky, where angels are torn apart, in mankind reduced

480
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:21.079
to ash, the world you cherished Broughts in silence, from

481
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.359
the charred bones of creation, a prophet of blame, an

482
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:34.400
emergency crowd of radiation wrapped the stage of death, is

483
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:40.319
the breaker of nations, the flight upon the earth, the

484
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:44.039
voice that speaks, and fire and thunder.

485
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:52.200
Tremor for the nuclear Messiah has come.

486
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.960
I'm sorry. That is so awesome.

487
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:14.559
That is epic, William sh so good.

488
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:20.440
Thank you Bill for continuing to provide us with the

489
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:24.880
most awesome stuff that we can possibly imagine on this podcast.

490
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.359
All right, that's that's better than Vincent Price in Thriller.

491
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.519
You know, even though that was pretty good, I mean that.

492
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.359
That was really really good and a completely iconic performance. Right,

493
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.720
Bill has been doing this for so long, and he's

494
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.079
done it in so many weird iterations that it's just

495
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.480
amazing to Is it just me or my less pink?

496
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:51.880
What's going on with my camera? Maybe it got better anyway,

497
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.119
it's the Nuclear Messiah. He saved me.

498
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:07.640
M we long, that's for sure. So what did you

499
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:09.000
think about the video data?

500
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.599
I'm not much of a heavy metal fan, but it

501
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:20.160
was interesting the fact that the previous news that we

502
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.440
talked about about, you know, life and death and stuff,

503
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.440
and so now we have this nuclear fallout thing. It

504
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:27.160
kind of reminds me a little bit of a uh,

505
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.240
like how we struggle with life and death and our

506
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.200
everyday life, you know, because you never know what might

507
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.160
come around the corner and hit you in the face.

508
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:39.720
But to be honest, it's interesting.

509
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:45.319
So yeah, I wouldn't call it metal really, it's it's

510
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.759
just Shoting doing what shot or does, and.

511
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:52.839
Well it is. It definitely follows kind of an old

512
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.839
school sort of like epic you know, symphonic sort of

513
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.119
metal theme to it. But the thing that's amazing about

514
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:01.920
it is, if you think about it, the name of

515
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:08.079
the band Nuclear Messiah, right, like philosophically, what that means

516
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.000
is that we can only be saved by just being

517
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:16.359
by destroying ourselves. And so there's this whole if you

518
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:20.480
really want to get into the philosophy of like William

519
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:22.359
Shatner's beat Nick poetry here.

520
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:26.440
Wow, that just cheers me right up.

521
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.440
I'm just saying, dude, like, I don't know, I'm just

522
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:39.200
the messenger. I know, I'm the one who actually like

523
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.799
get like listens to this kind of crazy stuff and

524
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:45.880
it's like, oh man, man, that's that's kind of intense.

525
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:47.720
And then most people listen to it and they're like,

526
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:58.160
that's just silly his rocket man. Oh man, that's so good.

527
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:04.799
It's so good. Yeah, yeah, you know it's schattneran. You

528
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:06.480
gotta be on with what you get.

529
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.880
If you come on the podcast, you can sing.

530
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:13.880
All you want. How does that sound?

531
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:18.440
We can Yeah? Well you know what, turn.

532
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:21.200
If you come on the podcast, it'll be our singing

533
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.640
episode like they did on Strange New Worlds.

534
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.720
Well the podcast, and we'll do it awesome on the

535
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.279
whole show.

536
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:34.920
We'll sing the praises of Star Trek five and our

537
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:35.799
greatest voices.

538
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:41.119
Totally needim. We need to develop a musical that is

539
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:45.559
all about, like why Star Trek five is the best movie.

540
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:50.400
I feel like that it would be awesome.

541
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.160
Well, you know Andy Bray did did a play on

542
00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.559
the Spot's brain and why that was the greatest episode.

543
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.839
Maybe maybe I'll give Andy a call and.

544
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:05.960
See what he can come up with.

545
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:10.079
Oh, that would be That would be awesome, you know,

546
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:11.160

Know we can pee our sparkly space hands.

548
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:19.039
You know, I have to find where I put mine.

549
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:20.920
Boy.

550
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:25.680
Anyways, So that's our Shatner stories, and I think he

551
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:26.799
gets our next.

552
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.200
Yes, And I'm glad to be able to read this

553
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:35.480
one because uh, it's a special place in my heart.

554
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:40.000
And also it goes along with the infinite diversity, infinite

555
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.920
combinations that is the at the heart of Star Trek.

556
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.519

00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:07.920
series has been lauded for its dynamic, romantic storylines exploring

572

queer love, including DNA's character Jayden Cragg, the franchise's first

media critics and entertainment journalists. It was established in twenty

581
00:35:55.880 --> 00:36:00.440
nineteen with a formal merger of the Broadcast Film Critics

582
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:07.159
Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association, recognizing the intersection

583
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:15.000
between film, television, and streaming content. So congratulations to those

584
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:18.599
wonderful people who I just want to hug every one

585
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.280
of them and bring them on the show.

586
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:23.440
I got. All I got to say is I.

587
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.440
Will be so excited if that goes in the direction

588
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.599
I think it will.

589
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:38.119
Ye right forget about.

590
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:48.440
But you know, I went back and I rewatched Starfleet Academy,

591
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.519
and man, that is a great show.

592
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.760
You barely kept your brain inside yourself.

593
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.360
It's I'm shocked that.

594
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:06.840
It's so good. It's so good. And you remember, Jim,

595
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:10.840
when Star Trek Discovery first came out and we first

596
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.679
reviewed it on this show, and one of the very

597
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.320
first things that we ever said early on in Discovery

598
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:23.920
was that although people of this era may not completely

599
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:28.960
understand and grock the show so to speak, in ten

600
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:33.559
twenty thirty years, it will become a seminal part of

601
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:35.480
the Star Trek universe. And I kind of feel the

602
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:38.480
same way about Starfleet Academy. I feel like in the

603
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:41.760
future people will be like, why did they only run

604
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:46.119
that show for two seasons? Because it's only I think

605
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:50.079
the current political environment that we have that has caused

606
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:53.800
it to be a two season phenomenal recources, you know, something,

607
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:56.880
they could have gone like five to seven seasons. Honestly, like,

608
00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:59.760
I know, not everybody on the podcast feels the same way.

609
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.000
I respect that, but like that's the way that I come.

610
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:04.559
Yeah, oh absolutely, that's the first thing I thought.

611
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.639
And I feel that that's an apropos with this, like

612
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:11.280
you know article all about representation, which I think that

613
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.800
show has in spades, and I think that Discovery also

614
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.719
did a great job.

615
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:19.880
Well was his name, David Ellison, the new owner of

616
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:23.480
Paramount plus sky Dance whatever it's called these days, is

617
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:26.159
it Ellison? I think, yeah, I think it is something

618
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:28.000
like that. I saw an interview with him today. I

619
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.039
was going to put the article in the news, but

620
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:33.039
it was it wasn't worthy because Star Truck was only

621
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:38.599
mentioned once and he was talking about in a nutshell

622
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:43.079
that Paramount Plus since the merger has seen seventeen percent

623
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:48.280
hike in its subscriptions and you know the income that

624
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:52.000
it's generated. Is that a coincidence that they canceled Star

625
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:55.039
Truk and it went up. I don't know. I've heard

626
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:58.400
a lot of people canceling their subscriptions because of what happened.

627
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:04.639
But he's said that all of their shows, including Star Trek,

628
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.679
are important to them and they plan on bringing them

629
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.119
back again. And he specifically mentioned Star Trek and I

630
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:16.119
found that funny because he's the one that canceled them all. So,

631
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:20.519
you know, are they planning to move Star Trek into

632
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:25.039
something different? They tore down the sets, they sold all

633
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:29.280
the costumes, so I don't really know what that means,

634
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.960
but he did specifically say that they were interested in

635
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:35.079
moving Star Trek in Well.

636
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.000
Yeah, and I also saw because I have I watched

637
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:43.519
so many things on the free Pluto TV app and

638
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.519
there's a story because I didn't realize that that is

639
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:49.639
part of Paramount Plus and they're going to be like

640
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:54.840
bringing it into the Paramount Plus whatever. Spider Web of Doom,

641
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.320
I don't know what to call it, but and it's

642
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:01.599
just like, oh, no, are they gonna what are they

643
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.840
going to do? It's allegedly to bring more content and everything,

644
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.239
but that's the one that has like you can watch

645
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.159
Voyager and d S nine and T M G and

646
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:13.519
the t O S.

647
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:16.559
Basically NonStop.

648
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:19.119
You know, they each have their own channel and then

649
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:24.800
they will show the movie so we'll see.

650
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:25.599
Yeah.

651
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:29.039
So uh yeah, this picture here, I found it on

652
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:31.400
the Internet and I've taken I saw that.

653
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.159
What the heck people need to get a life.

654
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.039
Yeah, I'm trying to find a picture with all of

655
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:38.800
them together and I couldn't find one, and I found

656
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.840
this one. And everyone's bitching about it because it's it's

657
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:44.440
a crappy AI picture, but it's the only picture I

658
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.679
have I could find.

659
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:50.719
Because I don't think I don't think they were all

660
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:54.480
ever in the scene together that I can recall.

661
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:58.719
Well, to quote to quote Shatner when he was on

662
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:03.599
his on Saturday Night Live years ago, to those people

663
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:09.920
who were complaining about it, get a life, move out

664
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:11.159
of your parents' basement.

665
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:16.320
I just you know, it is what it is, is,

666
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:18.519

day's winter.

707
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:05.400
So mean, if you don't plan the cosplay, there's an

708
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.239
excuse to dress up and have some fun.

709
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:11.840
The air theme will also apply to daily cons play contests,

710
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:15.840
focusing on the day's particular time period, with the top

711
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.360

addition to Star Tuk Lasses, the day It's biggest big

713
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:28.280
cosplay contest on Saturday. This will include any and all eras,

714
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.440
but the daily cosplay context will stick to the day's

715
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:35.239
decade and only that decade, so if you're tending, be

716
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.480
sure to plan on your outfits and cosplay accordingly. The

717
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:41.800
only sad part is I won't get the chance to

718
00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:43.280
see it or participate it.

719
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:47.360
Because this is the sixtieth anniversary.

720
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:55.679
They pushed heavy on the five day tickets, and the

721
00:44:55.719 --> 00:45:02.360
first three days of the con is when my school

722
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:07.039
district goes back to work, and so it's going to

723
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:10.840
be it would be, it would be a It would

724
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:14.400
have to be doing a lot of the kissing up

725
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:19.280
to try getting those three days off, and with tickets

726
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:23.119
being close to one hundred dollars a day. I've got

727
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:28.239
something else coming in later that i'll later in September.

728
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.320
Then I want to spend towards So I'm not going

729
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:35.000
to make it because normally, normally they would do single

730
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:39.679
day tickets, but they have hyped the sixties so much

731
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:44.199
that they're not they are not planning on selling single

732
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:44.960
day tickets.

733
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:47.159
You have to buy a five day.

734
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.079
Package to go Wow, which means a good five hundred dollars.

735
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.320
Spending five hundred dollars.

736
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:55.199
To Go.

737
00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:58.960
Wow, which to me is a bit of an expensive

738
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.159
con for that many days.

739
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:04.159
So if I want to dress up as Sybot, for instance,

740
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:06.920
and I can't go to the show on five because

741
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:10.639
Star Trek five is only on Thursday, oh.

742
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:13.880
You can dress up is him on Friday, but the

743
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:19.920
contest is going to be on Thursday. But you've seen

744
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:22.679
a couple of my pictures for the for fans who've

745
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:25.760
actually watched our slide show, you've seen a couple of

746
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:28.280
pictures that's actually a couple of pictures of me actually

747
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:33.400
at the con. It is as big as Sandia coma conk.

748
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:37.199
There are so many different codgeplays and it's not Star Trek.

749
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:38.679
It is sci fi.

750
00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:44.559
I've seen Star Trek or I've seen Star Wars.

751
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:46.519
In fact, I've seen.

752
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:50.800
A Stormtrooper with a Delta on his uniform.

753
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:53.400
I have seen Doctor.

754
00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:58.679
Who, I have seen Battlestar Galactica doctor.

755
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.119
Who I have seen.

756
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:07.960
Oh I can't get a star Star Trek parody run

757
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:10.039
off my head. But I've seen a couple of them

758
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.119
show up, Plexi Quest Galla, We've had Galaxy Quest college

759
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:18.519
costumers come in. It's a big sci fi event. I've

760
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:22.800
already seen posts from the Galactica group who's planning on

761
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:26.960
storming the convention with their stuff. So if you're going

762
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.000
to four and can make it, it's a great convention

763
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.800
to go to. I just wish they hadn't pushed it

764
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:34.679
back to five days and then push it. We had

765
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:37.280
to show up, buy tickets for five days.

766
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:42.599
You know what I think we need, Uncle Jim, I

767
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.920
think we need a GoFundMe And Charles doesn't have to

768
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:48.719
go for five days, but we need to get him

769
00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:51.719
a five day ticket for the two days that he

770
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:52.239
can go.

771
00:47:56.039 --> 00:48:01.199
There, you go, I got too much. I'm doing those

00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:05.400

Hey, I wouldn't. I wouldn't get glad we go heck.

776
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:19.960
Yeah, or totally vas our social letters.

777
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:23.679
And I'll try to get my waxa outfit because I

778
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:26.800
have I was just thinking what do I already have

779
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:29.320
that would fit in those categories and what would I

780
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:33.440
need to get, you know, so I was already mentally.

781
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:34.639
Yeah, well actually it was funny.

782
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:35.000
Yeah.

783
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:37.239
As he was reading through that, I kept thinking about you.

784
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.000
I was like, what would be where?

785
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:42.519
Because I've got lower decks, I've got strange new worlds.

786
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:48.280
I have, uh voyager with the eighteenth century of Arachnia.

787
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:53.840
I was working on Lasana and mister Holme, who's lying

788
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:56.159
on the floor behind me, tipped over.

789
00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:58.840
Uh.

790
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:01.679
Just about every day.

791
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:03.159
I would just I would have to get oh.

792
00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:05.159
We got to get you a t O S A

793
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:06.119
t O S Y.

794
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:07.440
Yeah.

795
00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:08.480
Yeah.

796
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:13.239
It'd be really interested in what people will do for

797
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:17.639
the CON podcast one, because that to me, you know,

798
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:20.880
it's like there's not like a visual que that will

799
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.800
bring you into exactly to do.

800
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:33.800
So, well, there's the Red Maroons, had people in Red Maroons.

801
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:36.760
Well that is true, but I guess the con podcast

802
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.159
is not really about anybody in the Red Route. I mean,

803
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:42.239
I guess there's the narrator, but like if you wanted

804
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:44.159
to go with something that was like what they look

805
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:46.360
like on the planet. You might have to go to

806
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:51.719
one of my favorites that uh that uh, what is

807
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.199
it called. It's called Life in Hell, something in Hell

808
00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:59.039
with con. It's a graphic novel series. Gosh darned, I

809
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:04.079
just lost the name of it, Living in Hell, Raining, Raining,

810
00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:06.679
Raining in Hell. I think it's called something like that. Yeah,

811
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:08.000
you know the one I'm talking.

812
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:15.360
Yeah, the word a giant seti eel.

813
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:20.079
You know, it would be funny if if you had

814
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:22.679
a family that was, you know, with a lot of kids,

815
00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:25.559
you have the parents as the parent eels and the

816
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:29.679
kids as the little baby eels, that would be That

817
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:30.519
would be creepy.

818
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:32.119
That would be creepy at heck.

819
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:37.519
But whatever, the jolly green giant it was not what

820
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.639
was the dude's name the brain people?

821
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:45.760
Yeah, no, no, the what oh you mean on the

822
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:53.079
on the of the con Oh yeah, yeah, I don't remember.

823
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:54.800
I was just trying to think. I know that one

824
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:59.039
of them sounded like what did Paul say he had?

825
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:02.719
He didn't The voice was kind of didn't sound like,

826
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:06.719
you know, a mysterious brain, you know, reading alien.

827
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:07.719
I don't know.

828
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:09.760
I'm thinking if you.

829
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.960
Could get like a cardboard cutout of con and just like,

830
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.440
you know, have a handle on the back and.

831
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:16.320
Just in front of you.

832
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:19.079
I just walked around like that. That would be great.

833
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:23.880
Oh, it's actually pretty easy costume and very common. I know,

834
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.239
it's not going to make it too hot. You could,

835
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:31.079
you know, dress your gym shorts behind.

836
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.320
Yeah, oh my gosh, yep.

837
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.480
They were sorry that.

838
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:41.079
Yeah.

839
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:44.079
I just looked up that comic. It's that comic that

840
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:46.480
I was talking about, is called Ruling in Hell. It's

841
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.280
a fantastic comic that if yeah, if you have, if

842
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:51.599
you've never read it, there's this old comic that's all

843
00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:55.719
about the days back on SETI Alpha five And it

844
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.920
was before the new podcast or the you know pot

845
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:01.679
I guess his podcast.

846
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:06.880
I don't know, like an old time radio program.

847
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:12.199
Narrative, old timey radio. Yeah, the then podcast.

848
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:15.360
They were sort of like because I remember Uncle Jim

849
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:22.440
was sort of mispronouncing them their names. Sorry, I don't sorry, Uncle,

850
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:28.920
don't don't del Delmonic. You kept it was del Mondo. Yeah,

851
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:32.280
and he kept on Delic. Yeah that was his name,

852
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:38.280
I think, yeah, yeah, and I was yeah, but his

853
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:39.519
name was del Mondo.

854
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.119
But I forgot what they the beings were actually called.

855
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:50.639
Yeah, well, no, well, Charles will know that there is

856
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:55.079
a there's a genre of audio book that kind of

857
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:58.719
goes beyond just the standard audiobook, and they call him,

858
00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:02.719
I think they call him like dramatic interpretations or dramatic

859
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:07.400
performances or that kind of thing, and the rat dramatizations,

860
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:09.760
that's what they call them. And they kind of take

861
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:12.239
a like regular audiobook and they sort of like soup

862
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:16.519
it up with extra sound effects and multiple actors and

863
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:18.880
like that kind of stuff. And that's what this podcast

864
00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:22.239
reminded me of, was one of those dramatic adaptations of something.

865
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:26.400
Actually, Eric, if you like that kind of style, the

866
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:30.400
new Harry Potter books the same that exact same feature.

867
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:37.159
Okay, they should do a Trek Talking podcast costume at

868
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:39.440
Star Trek Las Vegas, where you dress up as your

869
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:40.719
favorite co host.

870
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:46.360
I love that idea.

871
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:53.079
Oh well, too bad, too bad, Trek Talking actually try

872
00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:56.440
to go to the con and one of the hostess

873
00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:58.280
decide to go sick that weekend.

874
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:06.239
That was that was the cod Yeah, so Eric, we

875
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:08.079
are not gone with William Shatton.

876
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:16.840
A William Shatner article tonight. Oh my gosh, I love

877
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:20.360
this so much. So William Shatner article number three. William

878
00:54:20.360 --> 00:54:27.320
Shatner's bread needs for quality avocado toast. That's right, He's

879
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:29.840
not just talking about Star Trek or whatever. He's talking

880
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:33.719
about avocado toast. William Shatner is an acting legend, most

881
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:37.000
famous for his performance as Captain James Kirk in Star Trek,

882
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:40.119
but it turns out he's also something of a foodie

883
00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:44.920
behind the scenes. From his secret ingredient enhanced muffins to

884
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:51.239
his tasteful Italian cheese preferences, the Canadian actor clearly appreciates

885
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:55.519
eating well, and like any good foodie, Shatner's not afraid

886
00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:59.000
to share strong opinions on the proper way to prepare

887
00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:04.119
one of the most mocked and adored foods of recent history,

888
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:06.719
alvocado toast. And let me just tell you this hits

889
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:09.559
home personally because my wife makes this stuff every single

890
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:11.400
morning and she's got her way that she fixes it.

891
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:14.760
So I'll just say I have a personal stake in

892
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:18.840
this story. He explained quite logically that if the toast

893
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:22.239
isn't crisp enough, it will bend under the weight of

894
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:26.599
the avocado, but if it's too crisp, it will shatter

895
00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:31.480
into a crumbly, gloopy mess. He said, the quality of

896
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:34.280
the toast to me is just as important as the

897
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:39.000
quality of the avocado. Avocado toast may be a millennial

898
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:42.679
food trend boomers can't stand, but William Shatner has apparently

899
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:46.719
been enjoying the tasty treat for years. He revealed that

900
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:52.199
he regularly enjoys avocado toast at a particular restaurant. Of course,

901
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:55.679
he doesn't want to reveal where the housemade bread is

902
00:55:55.800 --> 00:56:01.320
toasted to a Goldilocks level of crispy not too crispy perfection.

903
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:05.719
While the actor leaves his preferred avocado toast spot unnamed,

904
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:09.280
it may be one of these restaurant chains that baked

905
00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:12.000
their own bread on site. Ooh, there are links in

906
00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:14.000
this article that we are not sharing with you. It

907
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:20.239
looks like sorry, listeners. In addition to his highly specific

908
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.639
bread requirements, Shatner shared a few of his preferred avocado

909
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:26.920
toast toppings. He noted that he likes a touch of

910
00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:30.199
spice from hot peppers in his avocado toast, and that

911
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:34.079
he had recently enjoyed an extremely tasty version. He said,

912
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:37.079
I got an avocado toast the other day that was

913
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:41.320
so much more tasty than others that I have had

914
00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:44.159
due to the fact that they had a sprinkle of

915
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:49.159
honey like layered through it. He said, no matter how

916
00:56:49.239 --> 00:56:54.519
you slice it, Shatner's avocado toast opinions are anything but

917
00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:55.920
half maddow.

918
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:00.639
Oh my god.

919
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:04.920
See, that's why we can't have nice things, because we're

920
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:08.840
spending too much on avocado toast, right, you know what.

921
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.480
And it is amazing how much they charge for this

922
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:14.159
stuff at restaurants. But but if you make it at home,

923
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:17.280
you can just make it for And you think he's

924
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:18.400
you know, you make it every morning.

925
00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:20.920
Would he be talking I'm wonder if I'm trying to

926
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:22.840
think which rest would he be talking about?

927
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.280
Panera? I don't know, do they make their own bread?

928
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:29.039
Well, well, I'm wondering. I don't know where he lives.

929
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.639
Does he live in I know he has I think

930
00:57:32.679 --> 00:57:38.320
he still has his horse farm in Kentucky somewhere, so he.

931
00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:42.360
So he's probably got a secret spout man. David found

932
00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:43.599
some good photos.

933
00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:45.079
Avocado even with honey.

934
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.519
Yeah, and look that one's even got a honey thing.

935
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:48.440
How'd you do that?

936
00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:48.920
Is that?

937
00:57:48.960 --> 00:57:49.239
Ai?

938
00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:52.679
I didn't find him?

939
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:54.079
Way to go Jim.

940
00:57:59.000 --> 00:57:59.159
There?

941
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:03.679
Yeah, yeah, well that is way better than the fish

942
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:07.800
the fish story that he told at the Star Trek,

943
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:10.239
New Jersey where he got food poisoning and he was

944
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:12.800
doing a one man Broadway show the next day.

945
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:15.760
Yeah, so way better because.

946
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:17.079
You didn't have an avocano toast.

947
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:27.920
It must be Yeah, I know, yep, that makes for

948
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:28.480
that picture.

949
00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:30.000
That's a good picture.

950
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:31.400
Oh my god.

951
00:58:31.760 --> 00:58:34.079
I tried to find pictures to match the story, and

952
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:34.559
you did.

953
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:39.360
Because we had a big Shatner Shatner thing this week. Well,

954
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:41.440
Paul is going to be here shortly, and I think

955
00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:45.559
I've got time for one more story. I hope I'll

956
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:48.880
try to squeeze it in before Paul gets here. There

957
00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:53.639
it is right there, there's the shack Man. Star Trek

958
00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:57.079
means that a band in Quentin Tarantino movie. Now more

959
00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:01.199
than ever, the Star Truk playranchise is currently in a

960
00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:05.760
depressing state of disarray. Although there are still three fall

961
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:09.440
seasons raped and are on their way to a strange

962
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:13.079
New Worlds and one of Starfleet Academy, there is very

963
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:16.320
little accoum After that. There's been some news about the

964
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:19.880
upcoming movie from the duo behind Chris Pine's Dungeons and

965
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:23.400
Dragons movie, which was excellent by the way not enough

966
00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:26.599
to get Treky's poll excited, But do you know what

967
00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:29.920
would really stoke the coles and Star Trek's dying fire.

968
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:35.360
Revisiting the idea of Quentin Tarantino boldly going into.

969
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:36.840
The director's chair.

970
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:41.639
Despite not being commonly associated with the big franchise like

971
00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:45.199
Star Trek. There have been various plans in a relatively

972
00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:51.440
recent pass for an epic collaboration between Tarantino and Roddenberry's

973
00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:55.079
beloved space opera. A movie that fit this bill was

974
00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:58.480
once planned, but the team up has left closer and

975
00:59:58.719 --> 01:00:02.119
was left closer at times than it has at others. Now,

976
01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:05.119
rather than feeling like an optional extra that would have

977
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:09.119
given the franchise and nice boost, a Tarantino directed Star

978
01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:14.159
Trek movie feels almost like a necessity. Do you know

979
01:00:14.239 --> 01:00:16.719
what would create an immense buzz in the fan base.

980
01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:21.119
Though Tarantino decided to finally go ahead with directing the

981
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:24.920
Star Trek movie he had once planned on making. Reported

982
01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:28.039
to have been an R rated project, Tarantino Star Trek

983
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:30.920
movie really got fans talking when it started to be

984
01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:34.440
discussed in twenty seventeen. We talked about it here on

985
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:38.400
this podcast. Even his rich world of Star Trek sounds

986
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:41.159
like both an awful match, which, while being a deeply

987
01:00:41.239 --> 01:00:46.880
intriguing prospect, Tarantino's legend transcends genre, so there was a

988
01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:51.079
more excitement than there was apprehension. That's exactly what Star

989
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:55.360
Trek needs right now, with such an uncertain and dwindling

990
01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:59.719
future head where a potential bump in the road could arise. Here,

991
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:04.360
Tarantino isn't the kind of director who generally involves himself

992
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:08.760
with sequels. On the other hand, this philosophy hasn't completely

993
01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:11.920
stopped him before. What provides the most promised is the

994
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:15.559
fact that Tarantino wrote and directed Once upon a Time

995
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:19.960
in Hollywood in twenty nineteen, and the upcoming sequel about

996
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:23.920
Cliff Booth Brad pitt as a new director, David Fincher,

997
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:28.400
with Tarantino openly penning the script. So even if Tarantino

998
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:30.880
didn't want to direct a string of Star Trek movies,

999
01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:33.880
the tone he could establish and the first one effort

1000
01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:38.760
could lead into follow ups replicated by other film makers.

1001
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:40.400
And we talked about.

1002
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:45.079
This, you know, way back in twenty seventeen, but I

1003
01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:49.159
thought that a starch that Quentin Tarantino pulp fiction each

1004
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:50.360
Star Trek would be awesome.

1005
01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:53.119
I was for them the start.

1006
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:57.519
Yeah, I mean we talked about it like relative to

1007
01:01:57.599 --> 01:02:02.039
the Uss Callister episode from Black Mirror, right, and the

1008
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:04.519
fact that that had kind of a darker tone to

1009
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:08.519
it and you know, used a Star Trek theme to

1010
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:12.400
tell a story that was really really super creepy. I

1011
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.920
I think that there's a lot of potential in this.

1012
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:19.960
I think that it would both delight and scare the

1013
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:21.559
crap out of Star Trek face.

1014
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:26.039
Yeah, because they didn't.

1015
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:29.119
Like, I'm totally on board, but somebody like the might

1016
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:29.519
be like.

1017
01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:34.440
Fuck, no, I wouldn't say that. I would. I would

1018
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:35.519
give it a chance.

1019
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:44.199
I was just thinking, yeah.

1020
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:43.199
Yeah, no, I would.

1021
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:47.920
It would probably give the the you know weenies who

1022
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:50.840
complained about Starfleet Academy even more.

1023
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:51.840
To complain about, So.

1024
01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:59.039
That would be oh yeah, they would, they would, they would. Yeah,

1025
01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:02.039
they would just absolutely lose what's left to their minds.

1026
01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:06.679
So yeah, I know, right.

1027
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:11.360
O, Man, I want to try it with Honey.

1028
01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:13.760
Now that sounds cool.

1029
01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:17.559
Because you were yeah, because you were eating an avocado

1030
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:20.159
when before we went on the air, so you just

1031
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:22.679
didn't have you just didn't. I thought about that. It's

1032
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:25.239
like Groucier toast that you need have to go with that.

1033
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:29.039
Oh my goodness, funny.

1034
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:31.480
I mean, I.

1035
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:34.559
Remember the apprehension when JJ did the first Star Trek

1036
01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:38.199
movie in two thousand and nine, which I happened to

1037
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:43.119
really really enjoy. And I think that Quentin Tarantino could

1038
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:46.320
bring something to Star Trek that maybe we've never seen before.

1039
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:49.159
Maybe we'd hate it, maybe we wouldn't, but it would

1040
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:52.599
be different, that's for sure. And I think that that's

1041
01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:55.599
the necessity of life. I think being different is good.

1042
01:03:56.159 --> 01:04:01.920
Yeah, speaking of that, could that be the direction that

1043
01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:04.840
they're going to go with with Toalmount now with the

1044
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:06.400
new Dietraktor talking.

1045
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:15.519
About it's it's possible. Yeah, I mean, if I remember correctly,

1046
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:17.440
it was a long time ago.

1047
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:20.320
In the Galaxy Far Far Away, I had got it.

1048
01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:23.960
I believe.

1049
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:28.119
Tarantino said that he only wanted to direct ten movies, right,

1050
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:31.360
and he didn't want his final movie to be Star Treks,

1051
01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:33.159
so he backed out of it because he wanted his

1052
01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:34.679
final movie to be one of his own.

1053
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:40.840
So has he directed a tenth movie yet? I don't know.

1054
01:04:41.480 --> 01:04:43.800
I don't know. That's interesting. I don't remember that.

1055
01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:47.519
Yeah, was he waiting I'm not sure, but I think

1056
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:49.639
if Allison wanted him and they ended up money to

1057
01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:51.760
throw at him, he would do it.

1058
01:04:52.239 --> 01:04:52.440
Yeah.

1059
01:04:52.599 --> 01:04:54.079
Could we get Samuel L.

1060
01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:56.280
Jackson if it's going to be R rated, you know,

1061
01:04:56.320 --> 01:05:00.920
because he is pretty good at dropping those bombs, you know.

1062
01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:02.880
Ratedness.

1063
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:07.800
Yeah, you can get John's Revolt.

1064
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:13.960
Well, he's he's kind of past his he sort of

1065
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:18.000
passed his days as I can't think of what his

1066
01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:21.519
character's name was. But they could discuss about what they

1067
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:26.360
call was it what they call whoppers in France or

1068
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:27.920
something like that?

1069
01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.400
Oh yeah, Royale cheese.

1070
01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:39.719
Oh my gosh. They could do that absolutely. But I

1071
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:43.480
think it would be a good idea. I really do.

1072
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:45.360
I think it would be a good idea.

1073
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:47.440
And didn't we see a story?

1074
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:52.960
Wasn't Scott Baculu supposed to be coming back with some

1075
01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:54.039
more enterprise?

1076
01:05:54.800 --> 01:06:00.599
I thought I saw that. Oh okay, okay.

1077
01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:03.679
I think that's kind of just more speculation, kind of

1078
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:07.159
like the Star Trek legacy stories. You know, it's not

1079
01:06:07.239 --> 01:06:10.320
necessarily actually a thing, is just more of like, wouldn't

1080
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:10.840
it be cool?

1081
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:13.400
Is yea to not have the to not have it

1082
01:06:13.639 --> 01:06:15.480
end in uh?

1083
01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:18.519
Troy and Reiker watching a holidaycks thing or whatever the

1084
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:22.119
heck it was, or you know, Bobby Bobby stepping out

1085
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.360
of the shower and Pam wakes up from a dream.

1086
01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:31.559
So that's a sorry mm hmm.

1087
01:06:33.199 --> 01:06:35.760
Let me tell Trip too, if I remember correctly, didn't

1088
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.760
the mm hmm, didn't Trip die?

1089
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:44.159
Yeah?

1090
01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:46.679
Yeah, if you haven't seen that in two thousand and five,

1091
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:47.760
room for you?

1092
01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:48.719
Mm hm.

1093
01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:52.840
Oh boy.

1094
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:55.599
So we're waiting for Paul to get here. We finished

1095
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:57.000
up all of our story.

1096
01:06:58.239 --> 01:06:59.719
Yeah, I think we can. I think we can go

1097
01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:03.639
aheadn't move into this, Jim, because we still have the

1098
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:06.840
polls about Project Hill Mary. We can still do the summary,

1099
01:07:07.039 --> 01:07:10.440
So I think we can. I think we can start

1100
01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:14.519
to dive Paul. I have faith that Paul will be

1101
01:07:14.559 --> 01:07:16.719
here in the next like, you know, five to ten

1102
01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:17.320
minutes or so.

1103
01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:24.280
All right, so let's let's have our poll. We'll see I.

1104
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:29.159
Wait, yeah, I was gonna say, if only we had

1105
01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:33.480
a cool song to go along with polls. Oh no, wait,

1106
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:40.480
we do.

1107
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:44.480
You know me?

1108
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:47.559
Like, no, when what you thought about the show?

1109
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:54.360
When we try to share your opinions with all of our.

1110
01:07:54.320 --> 01:08:00.920
Minions out there because they listen worldwide, tell us just

1111
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:01.800
what you think.

1112
01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:03.719
Get together we will all.

1113
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:12.599
That's such a good video, David, It's such a good video,

1114
01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:16.359
like it just goes along with the lyrics and people.

1115
01:08:16.399 --> 01:08:22.960
We didn't develop that together, like we developed perfect images

1116
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:27.880
to go huh cool. I know, he's like together, we

1117
01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:28.880
will all think.

1118
01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:29.199
You know.

1119
01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:32.039
It's like like.

1120
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:36.000
I like how the millions of the song.

1121
01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:40.000
I know, and they're on Data's screen. Are you kidding me?

1122
01:08:42.279 --> 01:08:42.720
The man?

1123
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:48.119
I'm telling them it's pretty cool, totally totally worth it,

1124
01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:54.479
just just for that alone. That yeah, for that, for

1125
01:08:54.560 --> 01:09:02.720
that video alone, it's worth Oh yeah, and me looking

1126
01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:04.880
down at something plus.

1127
01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:10.199
The news video with us looking all deep and you know, introspective. Yeah,

1128
01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:14.159
and you're looking down at this or drop my headset

1129
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:14.960
what is it?

1130
01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:17.199
Oh my god?

1131
01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:21.920
Oh boy? So uh so that On our.

1132
01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:25.560
Facebook page, guys, which is Trek Talking and beyond, we

1133
01:09:25.640 --> 01:09:27.680
have all kinds of polls that you can take place.

1134
01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:30.920
In this particular poll for this week, I asked you guys,

1135
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:34.119
you know what you thought about Project Hill Mary on

1136
01:09:34.199 --> 01:09:35.159
a scale of one to ten.

1137
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:38.119
Now, before we get into that, I gotta say something, guys.

1138
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:43.239
I was a little bit disappointed because normally when you

1139
01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:46.800
guys answer our polls, you'll say well, I didn't like

1140
01:09:46.920 --> 01:09:49.880
this because his hair looked bad, or or the Klingon's

1141
01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.880
ridges weren't right, or you know, at least give us

1142
01:09:52.880 --> 01:09:56.680
some reason for why you scored the episode the way

1143
01:09:56.720 --> 01:09:57.279
that you did.

1144
01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:01.600
But nobody did that. They just gave us numbers, So

1145
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:08.039
we don't really have any fan uh things to talk about.

1146
01:10:08.079 --> 01:10:12.439
But at any rate, David, what did our I'm old

1147
01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:18.960
and what did our Facebook fans think about Project tail Me?

1148
01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:25.319
Well, Jim, if you're willing to go with my uh

1149
01:10:25.359 --> 01:10:28.680
with my whim here, I'm willing to provide commentary for

1150
01:10:28.760 --> 01:10:33.199
each one of these numbers that has absolutely no comments

1151
01:10:33.239 --> 01:10:37.399
with them, and I will just kind of interpret based

1152
01:10:37.399 --> 01:10:39.760
on the name of the person. And what I think

1153
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:43.800
they would have said about the episode is that does

1154
01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:46.920
that feel okay to you? I know it's not perfect,

1155
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:49.840
but you know it feels like it's kind of halfway there,

1156
01:10:50.520 --> 01:10:53.279
living on a prayer. All right, here we go. Rising

1157
01:10:53.399 --> 01:10:57.119
fan James Young gave it a nine. I'm sure that James,

1158
01:10:57.119 --> 01:10:59.760
if he had actually commented, would have said that this

1159
01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:05.039
is really killing it so far, this series, this movie

1160
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:09.319
is really killing it. And he loves the acting of

1161
01:11:09.479 --> 01:11:13.520
Ryan Gosling, Jim Barrett gave it a ten. He I'm

1162
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:15.720
sure he would have said, it's basically a perfect movie.

1163
01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:20.439
Janella Rolaire gave it a ten with an exclamation point

1164
01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:24.000
that's basically like I'm feelingly, she would have said, this

1165
01:11:24.199 --> 01:11:26.840
changed the way that I thought about raising my children.

1166
01:11:27.399 --> 01:11:31.079
Aaron mckelney gave it a ten. I'm sure that if

1167
01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:33.439
Aaron had given it a comment, Aaron would have said

1168
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:36.880
that this completely changed the way that I thought about robots.

1169
01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:40.960
Joe McCloud gave it a ten, and I'm sure that

1170
01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:44.119
if Joe had actually commented on something, he would have thought,

1171
01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:46.760
you know, I used to think of rocks as inert objects,

1172
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:50.319
but now suddenly I think they're awesome. Thanks Joe. Sandeholo

1173
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:52.840
also gave it a ten, and I'm sure if san

1174
01:11:52.960 --> 01:11:56.720
had actually left a message, sand would have said that

1175
01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:59.800
the design of the alienship was really, really cool. Maurice

1176
01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:03.880
Seluke gave it only a seven, and I'm sure that

1177
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:06.520
if Marisus had actually left a comment, they would have said,

1178
01:12:06.880 --> 01:12:08.960
you know, there were some differences between the book and

1179
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:10.960
the movie, and they just kind of turned me off

1180
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:13.680
a little bit. So that's why I gave it a seven. Gustavo.

1181
01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:17.359
Ippolito gave it a nine. Gustavo, I'm sure if he

1182
01:12:17.399 --> 01:12:19.880
had left a comment, would have said something like, this

1183
01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:22.399
is an almost perfect movie, but I didn't like the

1184
01:12:22.399 --> 01:12:26.760
way that Ryan Gosling's hair looked. Gary Kin gave it

1185
01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:29.039
a ten, and I'm sure that if Gary had actually

1186
01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:31.880
left a comment, Gary would have said, I gave it

1187
01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:35.159
a ten because I thought Ryan Gosling's hair was amazing.

1188
01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:39.760
And the trek gals who sounds like a plural, but

1189
01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:42.760
perhaps that's a new way to identify oneself. I'm not

1190
01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:45.039
really sure. In the twenty first century said I gave

1191
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:48.560
it an eight out of ten, thanks trek Gals, And

1192
01:12:48.600 --> 01:12:51.840
that gives us a fan score this week of nine

1193
01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:54.680
point three for this awesome, awesome.

1194
01:12:56.960 --> 01:12:57.159
Day.

1195
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:01.359
So I wonder what.

1196
01:13:01.520 --> 01:13:04.680
I wonder what our truck's first? But before we do that,

1197
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:07.319
do you guys want to watch the trailer? So we're

1198
01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:08.319
all on the same page.

1199
01:13:09.079 --> 01:13:11.279
Oh you want to wait to get here?

1200
01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:14.000
No, let's let's get the party started. And I'm sure

1201
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:15.199
he's going to show up any minute.

1202
01:13:16.279 --> 01:13:21.319
Okay, So David roll the tape. Here it is guys, m.

1203
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:28.399
Please stay to your name Roan Gray.

1204
01:13:28.800 --> 01:13:30.000
He spoke up from a coma.

1205
01:13:31.119 --> 01:13:35.000
There's several light years from my apartment. And I'm not

1206
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:37.560
an astronaut. I'm not.

1207
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:41.119
I'm not an astronaut.

1208
01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:45.279
If you don't go, you die with the rest of us.

1209
01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:50.600
The Sun is dying.

1210
01:13:52.279 --> 01:13:54.680
You're the only scientists to might know what this is.

1211
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:59.000
I'm just a teacher at go over Cleveland Middle Yeah.

1212
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:02.199
The doctor a molecular I need you to come with us.

1213
01:14:03.279 --> 01:14:04.560
This is project Tell Mary.

1214
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:06.960
The Sun is not the only star dying.

1215
01:14:07.119 --> 01:14:09.840
Every star was infected by its neighbor except one.

1216
01:14:10.199 --> 01:14:13.279
Why which is why you.

1217
01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:16.279
Build a ship to go there and find out it's

1218
01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:17.800
eleven point nine light years away.

1219
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:19.920
The astronauts guy in space.

1220
01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:22.880
That's what you Americans will call a lung shot.

1221
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:25.800
Hell, Mary, I get it on Earth is going to

1222
01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:26.479
sign up for us?

1223
01:14:29.319 --> 01:14:33.359
Should we do nothing, everything on this planet will going stint.

1224
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:35.680
You'll find a solution.

1225
01:14:37.279 --> 01:14:38.239
Who are my solution?

1226
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:41.760
I put the knot an astronaut.

1227
01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:42.880
I've never done anything.

1228
01:14:42.920 --> 01:15:02.159
I've never done a space I can't even moon walk.

1229
01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:07.560
I understand mistakes.

1230
01:15:07.840 --> 01:15:08.079
I do.

1231
01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:14.880
My plice is in the classroom about just counting.

1232
01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:16.880
On you, Thank you.

1233
01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:20.720
This might be very hard for you to understand.

1234
01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:24.119
But some people are not good at things.

1235
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:26.520
You know, who you are?

1236
01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:27.439
You going to do great?

1237
01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:29.239
I can't perote at five hours.

1238
01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:34.800
Yeah, okay, I'm proaching.

1239
01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:51.399
Oh my god, So I met an alien.

1240
01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:53.239
He's kind of growing on me, at least, not growing

1241
01:15:53.239 --> 01:15:55.039
in me, you know, which was a concern for a

1242
01:15:55.039 --> 01:15:55.560
little while.

1243
01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:06.439
I'm grace.

1244
01:16:06.800 --> 01:16:07.880
I'm gonna call you Rocky.

1245
01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:15.239
Thumbs up. Nope, it thumbs down. We did the thumbs Uh.

1246
01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:16.279
It's close enough.

1247
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:17.359
Oh yay.

1248
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:21.159
Wow.

1249
01:16:21.520 --> 01:16:22.159
All right.

1250
01:16:22.399 --> 01:16:25.560
There you have it, the trailer for Project Hail Mary.

1251
01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:27.920
And now we're all on the same page, you know,

1252
01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:30.800
the fans scores, Eric, take it away.

1253
01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:34.239
Yeah, all right, we're here to talk about this awesome movie,

1254
01:16:34.239 --> 01:16:37.920
Project Hail Mary, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller,

1255
01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:41.439
which of course was released in theaters just last March

1256
01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:45.840
March twentieth, about a month and a half ago. It's

1257
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:49.960
based on the twenty twenty one novel by Andy Weir,

1258
01:16:51.479 --> 01:16:56.640
whose other notable literary contributions include twenty eleven's The Martian,

1259
01:16:56.760 --> 01:17:00.319
which they made into a movie in twenty fifteen, and

1260
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:05.119
twenty seventeen's Artemis, which is currently a movie in development

1261
01:17:05.159 --> 01:17:08.279
and also an awesome book among many, well not many,

1262
01:17:08.319 --> 01:17:10.680
but like a few other things that he's contributed to.

1263
01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:16.800
In particular, he has a short fiction anthology that he's

1264
01:17:17.159 --> 01:17:20.000
contributed to. Now, just to set the stage for the

1265
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:23.279
type of story we're going to encounter, most of Andy

1266
01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:28.680
Weir's novels are structured like a series of technical hurdles.

1267
01:17:29.359 --> 01:17:34.520
So it's often called procedural storytelling, where each chapter is

1268
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:38.720
essentially a standalone puzzle. And you know, once a part

1269
01:17:38.760 --> 01:17:40.720
of the ship is fixed, then something else breaks, and

1270
01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:43.039
then something else happens. So that's the way the book

1271
01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:44.920
is laid out, and that's much the way that the

1272
01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:48.840
movie is laid out. So in summary, the movie kind

1273
01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:53.159
of takes place over the course of four acts and

1274
01:17:53.199 --> 01:17:57.399
then kind of has an epilogue to it. It opens

1275
01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:04.119
with a disorienting, high contrast sequence with our hero Ryan Gosling,

1276
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:07.800
whose character's name is Rylan Grace. He wakes up in

1277
01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:11.800
a sterile white room and he has a robot friend

1278
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:14.720
there that he learns is named Carl, but he has

1279
01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:18.560
no memory of why he is there. But he does find,

1280
01:18:19.760 --> 01:18:23.560
you know, two mummified corpses next to him, and so

1281
01:18:23.640 --> 01:18:27.000
that kind of, you know, initially sets the stage of

1282
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:30.640
a mystery for the movie, and through a series of

1283
01:18:30.640 --> 01:18:34.279
flashbacks throughout the movie, he remembers that he was a

1284
01:18:34.399 --> 01:18:38.399
disgraced molecular biologist who wrote a paper that nobody really

1285
01:18:38.840 --> 01:18:41.640
agreed with, and then he turned into a middle school

1286
01:18:41.680 --> 01:18:47.279
teacher and was eventually recruited by Eva Stratt played by

1287
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:53.399
Sandra Huler to investigate astrophage and organism draining the son's energy.

1288
01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:57.399
And in the present time, Grace realizes he's aboard a

1289
01:18:57.439 --> 01:19:00.840
spaceship called the hail Mary, a ship powered by enriched

1290
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:04.960
astrophage currently in the Tau Seti system, and he uses

1291
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:09.720
kind of a series of like mcguyverd experience experiments along

1292
01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:14.520
the way, assisted by Carl, the robot on the ship,

1293
01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:18.359
to deduce that he's in another star system and he

1294
01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:21.720
has to find a cure for the Sun's infection back

1295
01:19:21.800 --> 01:19:25.960
in the Sol system. So there we go. He kind

1296
01:19:25.960 --> 01:19:29.279
of learns who he is. Then we meet the alien

1297
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:32.279
right so in act too. While scanning the system, he

1298
01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:35.720
detects another ship which is called the blip A. In

1299
01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:39.880
a tense first contact sequence, Grace meets Rocky, a five

1300
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.600
legged alien who looks like a cross between a spider

1301
01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:47.600
and a rock The movie highlights their communication struggle. Rocky

1302
01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:51.880
speaks in musical chords which Grace records and runs through

1303
01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:56.319
a translation software program on his laptop, and with a

1304
01:19:56.359 --> 01:19:59.640
montage set to upbeat eighties music, the two become science

1305
01:19:59.680 --> 01:20:03.720
bro They move their ships together, they create a shared

1306
01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:08.720
pressurization tunnel, and they eventually visit each other's ships. Grace

1307
01:20:08.800 --> 01:20:11.479
learns that Rocky is the last survivor of a crew

1308
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:13.359
from his ship, much in the same way that he

1309
01:20:13.640 --> 01:20:18.119
is a survivor the last survivor from his crew, and

1310
01:20:18.199 --> 01:20:22.439
together they discover the tau Meba, a predator that will

1311
01:20:22.439 --> 01:20:27.279
eat the astrophage. Eventually, the film turns into a high

1312
01:20:27.279 --> 01:20:30.079
stakes laboratory thriller as they breed a strain of tau

1313
01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:34.039
Miba that they can survive the nitrogen heavy environments of

1314
01:20:34.159 --> 01:20:38.840
Venus and Rocky's planet, which is called Arid Awesome. In

1315
01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:43.439
the third act, we have they you know, they've kind

1316
01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:45.960
of like figured it all out, but then unfortunately things

1317
01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:49.319
start to go wrong. Attention peaks during the tau Miba leak.

1318
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:53.479
That's right, both of them have problems with this stuff

1319
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:58.800
leaking out of the stores, in which they've put it.

1320
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:03.000
Unlike the books, flow realization, a structural failure on the

1321
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:06.800
ship leads to a chaotic sequence where the Taumiba escapes

1322
01:21:07.279 --> 01:21:09.720
into the vents and spins the ship around. Grace and

1323
01:21:09.800 --> 01:21:13.840
Rocky are physically separated by a clouded zenite barrier, forcing

1324
01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:16.159
them to work together while blind to one another, to

1325
01:21:16.199 --> 01:21:20.039
save the ship's fuel supply. During this repair, Grace's final

1326
01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:24.600
memories return, and in a final flashback, he remembers that

1327
01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:28.199
he actually didn't volunteer for this mission. He was a

1328
01:21:28.239 --> 01:21:31.239
coward who tried to hide, and Strap actually forced him

1329
01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:35.680
onto the ship under sedation. This revelation marks the film's

1330
01:21:35.720 --> 01:21:39.279
emotional low point, where Grace realizes that he isn't the

1331
01:21:39.359 --> 01:21:43.199
hero that he thought he was all along. Eventually we

1332
01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:47.119
move on to the kind of ultimate choice in the movie.

1333
01:21:47.119 --> 01:21:51.840
Grace and Rocky successfully prepare their respective cures for the problem.

1334
01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:55.199
They say tearful goodbyes, heading towards their own home planets,

1335
01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:59.920
and then Grace discovers a leak in Rocky's Taumobia contained

1336
01:22:00.920 --> 01:22:06.920
his xenonite right There's this whole concept of solidified xenon

1337
01:22:07.079 --> 01:22:10.239
gas and it leaks right through, meaning that Rocky ship

1338
01:22:10.279 --> 01:22:12.600
will fail, his planet will die, and he will starve

1339
01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:15.319
in the dark, and Grace makes this gut wrenching decision

1340
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:19.640
to abort his ship his trip back to Earth. He

1341
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:23.720
uses his remaining fuel to instead intercept Rocky and eventually

1342
01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:27.079
ends up on Rocky's planet. At the end of the movie,

1343
01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:31.119
which I think is just amazing, we see a montage

1344
01:22:31.119 --> 01:22:35.000
of snowy London that is repaired at the end of

1345
01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:38.319
the movie because they sort of save the day, and

1346
01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:43.079
our heroes left on Arid where he lives within a

1347
01:22:43.159 --> 01:22:46.760
mental health dome that simulates the Earth, and he's teaching

1348
01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:52.039
a class of Iridian children, little Rocky creatures who wear

1349
01:22:52.159 --> 01:22:56.399
small translation packs, which I think is just adorable. The

1350
01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:59.439
movie ends with Grace looking at a digital display of

1351
01:22:59.439 --> 01:23:02.680
the Suns, smiling as he realizes he finally became the

1352
01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:06.880
hero that he was forced to be. So uh fantastic

1353
01:23:07.279 --> 01:23:10.239
uh movie. This this movie, more than a lot of

1354
01:23:10.319 --> 01:23:14.079
others that I have seen, actually stays very very true

1355
01:23:14.119 --> 01:23:17.800
to what happens in the book. I'll say that all

1356
01:23:17.880 --> 01:23:21.840
the main scenes are there and that sort of thing.

1357
01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:23.960
So I'm very excited about that, and I would love

1358
01:23:24.039 --> 01:23:24.800
to hear what.

1359
01:23:24.640 --> 01:23:27.359
You all have to say, well, what I have to

1360
01:23:27.399 --> 01:23:36.079
say about that movie Rocky Amaze, Amaze Amaze. I did not, Yeah, right,

1361
01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:39.640
I was not. I did not expect to get pulled

1362
01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:43.600
into that's crazy as quickly and deeply as I did.

1363
01:23:43.640 --> 01:23:46.439
So much so that when you know, there's that that

1364
01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:50.680
jump scare when Rocky uh you know, sees when he

1365
01:23:51.159 --> 01:23:53.279
you know, they face each other, yeah, knocks on the

1366
01:23:53.279 --> 01:23:56.199
window and and and uh Grace jumps back. And also

1367
01:23:56.239 --> 01:24:00.319
that the whole can we acknowledge the hail Mary and

1368
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:03.479
his last name is Grace, you know, Hail Mary full

1369
01:24:03.520 --> 01:24:03.960
of grace.

1370
01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:06.319
Yep, I know, uh.

1371
01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:13.439
Huh, but just an amazing, amazing I never thought I

1372
01:24:13.479 --> 01:24:15.239
would be so invested in.

1373
01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:19.760
A rock creature. And I although.

1374
01:24:19.960 --> 01:24:22.439
Uncle Jim asked me, you know, if I if I cried,

1375
01:24:22.520 --> 01:24:25.960
it's like because there's that scene, and I was. I

1376
01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:31.119
actually did not because I hate crying because once I start,

1377
01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:32.199
I can't stop.

1378
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:34.560
And I somehow.

1379
01:24:34.520 --> 01:24:37.720
Went had a flashback to Et when you know, we

1380
01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.399
thought Et was gone but then he got, you.

1381
01:24:40.359 --> 01:24:46.520
Know, resurrected, what have you. But I started looking.

1382
01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:52.439
On YouTube and found all these videos that have a

1383
01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:54.960
little bit of the background because the science things were

1384
01:24:55.159 --> 01:24:58.720
you know, trying to trying to comprehend because I know

1385
01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:03.039
that Andy Weir does a lot of research and wants

1386
01:25:03.039 --> 01:25:07.119
to have things that are you know, you know, not

1387
01:25:07.239 --> 01:25:10.680
some hokey made up stuff, but one of them. It

1388
01:25:10.760 --> 01:25:13.760
was just fascinating. And also the creation of you know,

1389
01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:16.159
how they did Rocky. He was not CGI, he was

1390
01:25:16.199 --> 01:25:19.960
a puppet and the story of how Rocky came to

1391
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:26.680
be because the main puppeteer, James Ortiz, actually he and

1392
01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:31.279
Ryan Gosling started riffing together and that's how he became

1393
01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:35.920
Rocky's voice. And if you uh, I saw an interview

1394
01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:38.920
with with James Ortiz, and can I.

1395
01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:40.119
Say you got to look it up.

1396
01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:46.199
His hair puts Anson Mount's hair to shame, as you

1397
01:25:46.239 --> 01:25:49.000
know Pike in the Strange New World to get to

1398
01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:49.520
check it out.

1399
01:25:49.560 --> 01:25:51.239
He's got the most fabulous hair.

1400
01:25:52.279 --> 01:25:55.640
But he just put so much life and heart into

1401
01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:59.279
into Rocky and just the whole thing real these because

1402
01:25:59.319 --> 01:26:05.079
Rocky was a scientists too and they have similar situations.

1403
01:26:05.600 --> 01:26:07.000
But I just I need to.

1404
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:10.119
Watch it again because there's so many things that you know,

1405
01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:12.800
I'm sure I missed, But the biggest thing I don't

1406
01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:20.560
know that Andy were specifically designed Arid to orbit the

1407
01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:27.600
same real world star system as another planet that we

1408
01:26:27.720 --> 01:26:30.520
are familiar with, and that would be the planet Vulcan.

1409
01:26:31.399 --> 01:26:32.000
Did you know that?

1410
01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:37.520
Yeah, I thought that was uh huh, yep, yep, and

1411
01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:40.039
it was so I thought that was that just shows

1412
01:26:40.119 --> 01:26:46.960
the the depth of his commitment. So yeah, I just

1413
01:26:47.159 --> 01:26:49.279
I I'm going to watch it again. This is going

1414
01:26:49.319 --> 01:26:51.640
to be I haven't been so excited for a movie

1415
01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:54.199
in such a long time, so this is one I

1416
01:26:54.239 --> 01:26:57.000
want to see several times, so I plan to do that.

1417
01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:02.119
I know I'm sort of babbling, but basically, if you

1418
01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:04.000
haven't seen it, go see it.

1419
01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:06.039
It is a definite.

1420
01:27:05.640 --> 01:27:08.840
Ten in my book because it's you've got all the emotions.

1421
01:27:08.960 --> 01:27:13.199
I mean, you've got fear and love and you know

1422
01:27:13.359 --> 01:27:17.399
everything in between, and yeah, just go see It's it's

1423
01:27:17.399 --> 01:27:18.279
a ten in my book.

1424
01:27:26.359 --> 01:27:29.720
Well, I got to tell you that after seeing the trailer,

1425
01:27:29.920 --> 01:27:33.640
I had no interest in seeing this movie. I honestly didn't.

1426
01:27:34.239 --> 01:27:37.359
I never read the book. I had no idea. But

1427
01:27:37.560 --> 01:27:39.560
I came home from work on that Friday and my

1428
01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:41.920
wife said, let's go see this new sci fi movie.

1429
01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:43.760
And when my wife wants to go see a sci

1430
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:46.319
fi movie, jump in the car and go. I mean,

1431
01:27:46.359 --> 01:27:49.920
remember I made her sit through Tron on our first date.

1432
01:27:50.399 --> 01:27:57.520
So so we went to see it and all, my god,

1433
01:27:57.960 --> 01:28:03.640
I just wow, this movie was incredible. Even my wife

1434
01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:06.600
loved it and she didn't like Tron or Star Trek five,

1435
01:28:06.800 --> 01:28:12.079
so you know, I loved it. I think everything that

1436
01:28:12.199 --> 01:28:16.800
V said is absolutely true. It reminded me of Dharmat.

1437
01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:20.000
You know, Picar trying to communicate with h you know,

1438
01:28:20.119 --> 01:28:25.479
Tanagra with his arms held why, watching them try to communicate,

1439
01:28:25.520 --> 01:28:26.960
watching them build a friendship.

1440
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:29.359
It was it was.

1441
01:28:29.840 --> 01:28:33.159
It was Star Trek at the core, absolutely Star Trek

1442
01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:37.560
all the way and uh, you really got the feel

1443
01:28:37.600 --> 01:28:38.199
for Rockie.

1444
01:28:39.239 --> 01:28:40.800
You know that. I don't.

1445
01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:42.640
I don't want to ruin too much of it because

1446
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:45.279
I know Charles hasn't seen it. But the scene that

1447
01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:48.800
VA is alluding to, uh just had me. I was like,

1448
01:28:48.920 --> 01:28:53.720
oh my god, no, this can't be happening. And later

1449
01:28:53.800 --> 01:28:59.239
in the movie, you know, the situation is quipped and

1450
01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:01.800
Ryan Gosley does the same thing for Rocky that Rocky

1451
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:05.479
did for him. And it's a great movie about friendship

1452
01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:11.439
and about overcoming differences and communication, and you know, it's

1453
01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:12.720
an outstanding movie.

1454
01:29:12.760 --> 01:29:14.079
I thought it.

1455
01:29:14.079 --> 01:29:17.319
It started a little bit slow, I felt, and I

1456
01:29:17.359 --> 01:29:19.880
thought some of the flashbacks were like, wait a minute,

1457
01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:20.640
what's where?

1458
01:29:20.880 --> 01:29:21.079
How?

1459
01:29:21.319 --> 01:29:22.039
Why? What?

1460
01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:26.520
I think that maybe the movie could have been structured

1461
01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:30.760
a little bit differently than it was. I didn't read

1462
01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:32.600
the book, but a lot of people said, well that's

1463
01:29:32.600 --> 01:29:35.960
how it wasn't the book? All right, fine, but that's minor.

1464
01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:40.159
I still thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it,

1465
01:29:40.279 --> 01:29:43.279
and I'm giving it a ten, just like the loved it,

1466
01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:44.600
loved it, loved it.

1467
01:29:45.039 --> 01:29:46.039
How about you, David?

1468
01:29:48.479 --> 01:29:54.960
Yeah, I knows your bump fist, your bump, fist.

1469
01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:59.960
Your bump. That was great bump.

1470
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:09.119
But yeah, I watched this show and I have to

1471
01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:12.239
agree with Jim there. It was a little slow at

1472
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:15.840
the beginning. And it was of course, you know, any

1473
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:20.000
great movie, in my opinion, kind of starts out slow

1474
01:30:20.039 --> 01:30:22.000
in a way to just you know, build up the

1475
01:30:22.119 --> 01:30:26.279
tension for the final ending. And to me, it's just like,

1476
01:30:26.920 --> 01:30:31.680
to me, it was pretty long movie. I mean almost

1477
01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:33.520
what three hours long? I think awage or two and

1478
01:30:33.560 --> 01:30:33.880
a half.

1479
01:30:34.399 --> 01:30:37.199
It's like two six or something.

1480
01:30:36.880 --> 01:30:39.279
Or something like that. Yeah, And I was just like, whoa,

1481
01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:39.760
that's a.

1482
01:30:41.319 --> 01:30:43.720
It made me really sleepy at the end there, but

1483
01:30:43.800 --> 01:30:45.359
I was just like, Okay, yeah, it was a really

1484
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:47.359
good movie. I actually really enjoyed it. It was a

1485
01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:52.119
lot of funny parts in it that I enjoyed. The

1486
01:30:51.279 --> 01:30:58.199
uh the whole part about the him trying to find

1487
01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:00.760
out who he was after waking up from that coma.

1488
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:04.199
I was like, wait a minute, why is that a thing?

1489
01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:07.520
And then it turns out like what Eric mentioned, they

1490
01:31:07.640 --> 01:31:09.720
he was forced onto the ship that you find out

1491
01:31:09.800 --> 01:31:12.359
later that that to me was kind of like the

1492
01:31:12.439 --> 01:31:15.399
Twist and destroy. That was actually really good. So I

1493
01:31:15.439 --> 01:31:20.319
actually enjoyed it, and yeah, I don't want to give

1494
01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:22.520
it too much away, but yeah, a lot of my

1495
01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:25.920
funny favorite and funny parts, and I enjoyed ways the

1496
01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:27.000
whole thumbs down.

1497
01:31:28.319 --> 01:31:29.199
To bump my fist.

1498
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:33.479
The other parts that were just like I'm trying to

1499
01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:35.439
remember the other one, but it's just like I'm drawing

1500
01:31:35.439 --> 01:31:38.640
a blank right now. But most of it would kind

1501
01:31:38.640 --> 01:31:41.039
of like imget in like the whole scene where he's

1502
01:31:41.119 --> 01:31:43.640
like recording himself and he's like, I now have a

1503
01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:47.880
new roommate. So it was just like, yeah, that was

1504
01:31:47.960 --> 01:31:52.520
pretty good, and uh, yeah, so I don't know, I

1505
01:31:52.560 --> 01:31:56.239
think overall this this particular movie, despite how long it.

1506
01:31:56.399 --> 01:32:03.560
Was, Wow, not quite wow, that's high praising.

1507
01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:10.319
I know, oh my god, putting it up there, that's

1508
01:32:10.359 --> 01:32:11.319
really high raise.

1509
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:12.720
Yeah, I really.

1510
01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:13.119
Oh yeah.

1511
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:17.600
That where he's rolling through, Grace's saying dirty, dirty dirty?

1512
01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:18.399
Why so dirty?

1513
01:32:18.439 --> 01:32:22.520
And I wasn't exactly expecting company that was great.

1514
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:25.399
Yeah.

1515
01:32:26.159 --> 01:32:33.079
Yeah, Well, well I.

1516
01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:36.479
Don't think Charles uh watched it, so that that means

1517
01:32:36.479 --> 01:32:37.720
that Paul gets to bring up.

1518
01:32:37.640 --> 01:32:40.880
The caboose, bringing up the tabooza.

1519
01:32:42.119 --> 01:32:45.840
Well, you know, a great summary on there, So thank

1520
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:48.800
you for getting that all out there. I think it's

1521
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:51.479
either a great job of giving the details and stuff,

1522
01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:54.279
but I really want to emphasize you know, you listen

1523
01:32:54.359 --> 01:32:57.000
to your recap of the movie. Sounds very technical, right

1524
01:32:57.079 --> 01:32:59.119
if somebody has not seen this movie. I mean it's

1525
01:32:59.119 --> 01:33:02.880
a very science loaded picture, right, But at the end

1526
01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:05.079
I would emphasize, like, you know, kind of like I

1527
01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:06.880
like Uncle Jim's take on it. Right, this is a

1528
01:33:06.920 --> 01:33:11.000
story about friendship right in a surprising way. And this

1529
01:33:11.079 --> 01:33:15.239
is a really unique picture in a lot of ways.

1530
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:19.600
It's very structurally it is a literal similar to the

1531
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:22.880
Martian where you've got the bulk of the movie is

1532
01:33:22.960 --> 01:33:25.600
one guy by himself, right, which is a tough thing

1533
01:33:25.640 --> 01:33:27.920
to pull off in a motion picture, right, because people

1534
01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:31.399
want to see interactions, and so those flashbacks become really

1535
01:33:31.439 --> 01:33:34.760
pivotal because it's not just about you know, Ryan Gosling

1536
01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:38.680
by himself. You're getting to have this gradual reveal of context.

1537
01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:41.880
I like that structure of a slow burn where things

1538
01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:44.199
don't just necessarily start off like it's the past and

1539
01:33:44.239 --> 01:33:46.399
the furious, right, which is like you got to think,

1540
01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:49.760
you pay attention, and the picture is inviting you to

1541
01:33:49.840 --> 01:33:51.239
solve the mystery along.

1542
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:51.760
With the protagonist.

1543
01:33:51.960 --> 01:33:56.439
Every think it is just spectacular and this movie really

1544
01:33:56.880 --> 01:33:58.800
is one of the biggest hits in the last couple

1545
01:33:58.840 --> 01:34:03.479
of years. It just really resonated with audience. People did

1546
01:34:03.520 --> 01:34:05.319
not really know this was coming out in a big

1547
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:08.520
way until the marketing kicked in, and then marketing will

1548
01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:10.840
only get you so far, because this is a movie

1549
01:34:10.840 --> 01:34:14.600
that really just the word of mouth and was just

1550
01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:16.359
palpable from opening weekend.

1551
01:34:16.439 --> 01:34:16.600
Right.

1552
01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:19.159
It's just people kept going to see this movie, telling

1553
01:34:19.159 --> 01:34:20.840
their friends to go see it, and they came out

1554
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:24.439
feeling good, right, which I think this is a real

1555
01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:28.279
collective hunger for they came out feeling wonderful, and there

1556
01:34:28.319 --> 01:34:31.359
was the timing of the release of this movie that

1557
01:34:31.560 --> 01:34:35.039
just you know, serendipity right, came out within a week

1558
01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:39.520
or so of the Artemis Mission being such a success.

1559
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:44.560
It really galvanized the country's or the planets, really a

1560
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:49.119
reawakening of affection for space exploration again. So it was

1561
01:34:49.199 --> 01:34:51.359
really really great to be able to see that, you know,

1562
01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:54.119
connect with the real world. The Artemist crew got the

1563
01:34:54.159 --> 01:34:56.760
screen this picture while they were in quarantine before they left,

1564
01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:00.239
which was I think a really great thing. So it's

1565
01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:06.640
a wonderful movie about science and optimism and friendship and

1566
01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:11.399
you know, in the face of impossible odds, still trying

1567
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:14.159
to work things out, which I think is a great

1568
01:35:14.199 --> 01:35:17.840
message for folks. And it's very funny, very human, very hopeful.

1569
01:35:18.159 --> 01:35:19.439
A couple of things I want to make sure to

1570
01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:24.479
point out for folks. The cinematographer of this wonderful movie

1571
01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:27.800
is a guy named Greg Frasier, who folks should know.

1572
01:35:28.439 --> 01:35:31.920
He is a tremendous talent behind the camera. I think

1573
01:35:31.920 --> 01:35:33.840
he is one of the best guys working right now

1574
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:37.720
in terms of being able to compose a shot. So

1575
01:35:37.800 --> 01:35:42.319
it's almost painterly right. What he does when they're on

1576
01:35:42.359 --> 01:35:46.279
the outside of the of the ship, when they're going

1577
01:35:46.319 --> 01:35:49.359
through and trying to, you know, scoop up some of

1578
01:35:49.399 --> 01:35:54.720
the necessary elements amazing. Where Greg Fraser has done the

1579
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:57.800
first two Dune movies. You may have seen those lately,

1580
01:35:57.880 --> 01:36:00.560
so you know what a visual eye they has done.

1581
01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:05.319
He did the bat So he's just one of the

1582
01:36:05.319 --> 01:36:09.039
best guys shooting out there these days. He's a magical,

1583
01:36:09.680 --> 01:36:13.800
magical lendsman, He's just tremendous. I love what Ryan Goslingen

1584
01:36:13.840 --> 01:36:17.640
did in this picture. But for me, I just thought

1585
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:22.399
the real MVP of this movie is Sandra hu. I

1586
01:36:22.520 --> 01:36:25.039
just think she's not somebody I think that we've seen.

1587
01:36:25.119 --> 01:36:27.359
She's not like a known name. She's not like a

1588
01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:32.840
really familiar person like you know, uh, Julia Roberts or

1589
01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:35.600
what have you. Right, She's she's an unknown and she's

1590
01:36:35.600 --> 01:36:38.000
not an American, and that just somehow lands a real

1591
01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:41.840
sense of like authenticity to her. You believe that she

1592
01:36:42.079 --> 01:36:45.439
is this person leading this collective effort, and the things

1593
01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:49.960
she's required to do are surprising, right, I mean, they're

1594
01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:52.119
they're ruthless in some ways. I don't want to give

1595
01:36:52.159 --> 01:36:55.920
away a lot either, but there's a there's a switcheroo

1596
01:36:56.039 --> 01:36:59.359
that happens that's one of the longest trailers I've ever seen,

1597
01:36:59.359 --> 01:37:03.800
a practically everything that trailers us, but there's a switch

1598
01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:07.159
roo that happens in terms of her relationship with Grace

1599
01:37:07.399 --> 01:37:11.000
where it's like, we need your help, we need your help,

1600
01:37:11.159 --> 01:37:13.600
and it's an amazing thing. You don't see it coming

1601
01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:16.600
at all. For me, though, I don't know if anyone's

1602
01:37:16.600 --> 01:37:20.239
mentioned this already, but the scene with her where she

1603
01:37:20.359 --> 01:37:25.520
does the karaoke scene, I don't mind admitting it. I

1604
01:37:26.640 --> 01:37:29.880
was in tears. I was visibly in tears in the

1605
01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:33.239
theater with that as one of the most moving scenes

1606
01:37:33.279 --> 01:37:37.960
I've seen, because she's like representing all of us when

1607
01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:39.960
we're faced with the fact that there may not be

1608
01:37:40.079 --> 01:37:42.960
any tomorrows and that things are sad, and she's kind

1609
01:37:42.960 --> 01:37:46.039
of it's like the end of Kubrick's Paths of Glory, right,

1610
01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:50.239
It's just a very sad moment told through song. And

1611
01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:54.239
it was just beautifully beautifully shot. I mean, the directors

1612
01:37:54.399 --> 01:37:59.479
and her working together put that was just spectacularly to

1613
01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:00.000
well done.

1614
01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:04.840
So for me, it all that scene was not in

1615
01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:10.039
the original script from the movie. Ryan Gosling actually overheard

1616
01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:14.640
Sandra Huler singing between takes and asked her to perform

1617
01:38:14.800 --> 01:38:18.319
for the movie just forty eight hours before filming that scene,

1618
01:38:18.479 --> 01:38:21.520
so they actually added it because Ryan Gosling heard her

1619
01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:25.399
singing and thought that they needed to add something, and

1620
01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:29.119
she actually agreed and selected Sign of the Times by

1621
01:38:29.119 --> 01:38:31.960
Henry Styles as the song that she was going to

1622
01:38:32.000 --> 01:38:32.680
sing in the movie.

1623
01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:35.800
So I'm glad that that's how it worked out because

1624
01:38:35.800 --> 01:38:40.439
it's an incredible moment. I would encourage folks not to

1625
01:38:40.479 --> 01:38:42.119
seek it out and if you can see it in

1626
01:38:42.159 --> 01:38:45.239
the theater and don't watch it beforehand online or something.

1627
01:38:45.279 --> 01:38:48.520
But she's just amazing, and I hope to see a

1628
01:38:48.520 --> 01:38:51.039
lot more of her work in other movies is coming up,

1629
01:38:51.079 --> 01:38:53.239
because she's a hell of a find. I've never seen

1630
01:38:53.279 --> 01:38:55.479
her before, and I'm sure she's done a lot of

1631
01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:58.199
other pictures that we just haven't seen that are as commercial,

1632
01:38:58.319 --> 01:39:01.560
but this is a home run, I mean, And for me,

1633
01:39:01.600 --> 01:39:03.199
it's just like it was a little long on the

1634
01:39:03.239 --> 01:39:05.159
in the third act where it felt like, you know,

1635
01:39:05.199 --> 01:39:08.039
there's one people talk about how the end of Game

1636
01:39:08.079 --> 01:39:09.640
of Thrones, it's like all of a sudden it was

1637
01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:12.039
just like, you know, you could get from like you know,

1638
01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:14.680
the southern tip of West Roast to the wall of

1639
01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:16.920
a sudden half an episode where it used to take like,

1640
01:39:17.039 --> 01:39:21.520
you know, three weeks of half a season, And there

1641
01:39:21.560 --> 01:39:23.119
was kind of that bit at the end of this

1642
01:39:23.159 --> 01:39:24.680
one too. It's just like, oh, Wed, he's got to

1643
01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:27.560
go back to the other solar system again. But that's

1644
01:39:27.600 --> 01:39:29.680
just gonna be au ti minute, so don't worry. And

1645
01:39:30.119 --> 01:39:33.079
it felt a little accelerated there, but who cares. I mean,

1646
01:39:33.119 --> 01:39:35.800
it's just I you know, it's not something to get

1647
01:39:35.800 --> 01:39:39.600
petty or picky on. It's such a triumphant, successful, life

1648
01:39:39.600 --> 01:39:43.479
affirming movie. I would absolutely have to give it a ten.

1649
01:39:44.079 --> 01:39:47.479
I would say, I just do have one burning question though,

1650
01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:50.000
after watching that trailer again, then I'm I'm I'm gonna

1651
01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:51.800
feel really stupid because I don't know the answer. But

1652
01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:54.800
you guys can educate me. Right at the setup at

1653
01:39:54.800 --> 01:39:58.920
the beginning, when she's explaining, right, all the stars are

1654
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.039
eminated with the phage, right, do I have that right?

1655
01:40:02.199 --> 01:40:07.319
All the stars are essentially dyeing. Right, So so we've

1656
01:40:07.319 --> 01:40:12.600
got our star fixed, and we've got Rocky Star fixed. Yeah,

1657
01:40:12.920 --> 01:40:14.840
what about all the other stars, I mean, or all

1658
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:15.319
the stars.

1659
01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:17.399
That's that's like protail Mary to.

1660
01:40:19.439 --> 01:40:20.920
How are you gonna get how are you going to

1661
01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:23.399
get to all the other stars? Or communicate the fixed?

1662
01:40:23.399 --> 01:40:27.239
I mean to save the other stars. I don't know, So.

1663
01:40:27.199 --> 01:40:29.479
There'll be two stars in the entire universe. I mean,

1664
01:40:29.840 --> 01:40:33.800
it's it's a cosmic riddle, but it's one of It's

1665
01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:36.039
an interesting thing that did not even enter my mind

1666
01:40:36.119 --> 01:40:37.399
s courming out of the theater because I was not

1667
01:40:37.439 --> 01:40:39.640
such a high from enjoying it so much.

1668
01:40:43.119 --> 01:40:46.520
That got me which I won't go into detail how

1669
01:40:46.560 --> 01:40:52.079
it comes about, but one where the one person says

1670
01:40:52.279 --> 01:40:55.000
you have to find somebody.

1671
01:40:54.560 --> 01:40:55.399
To be brave for.

1672
01:40:56.439 --> 01:40:59.560
It's like, oh, that was just such a It's like,

1673
01:40:59.640 --> 01:41:01.800
oh my god, that was such a gut punch.

1674
01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:03.000
Mm hmmm.

1675
01:41:09.800 --> 01:41:10.000
God.

1676
01:41:10.720 --> 01:41:14.399
You know, he's just he's ridiculously good looking.

1677
01:41:14.560 --> 01:41:17.279
Well he didn't he well he looked pretty bad with

1678
01:41:17.359 --> 01:41:20.319
the long hair and the beard and all.

1679
01:41:21.560 --> 01:41:25.239
But he manages to make you, yeah he does.

1680
01:41:25.840 --> 01:41:27.520
But he's just he's with.

1681
01:41:27.520 --> 01:41:30.000
The way he plays his character. Though he's relatable, he

1682
01:41:30.039 --> 01:41:32.840
doesn't seem like he's this unreachable guy you could ever

1683
01:41:33.119 --> 01:41:35.800
be like, right, he's just seems like a regular guy

1684
01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:38.960
who just happens to be a super nerdy teacher and

1685
01:41:39.159 --> 01:41:40.600
can't keep right.

1686
01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:41.680
I mean, and I.

1687
01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:45.920
Don't know why I would relate to that, but it's

1688
01:41:43.880 --> 01:41:51.680
a but he's relatable. He's just like right, and he's

1689
01:41:51.720 --> 01:41:53.800
just like and he's like I love that line of

1690
01:41:53.800 --> 01:41:56.319
his I put the knot in an astronaut. Right, It's like,

1691
01:41:56.439 --> 01:41:59.359
this is not me. I I am not a brave

1692
01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:02.640
person under any circumstances. And he's like, you know, the

1693
01:42:02.760 --> 01:42:05.880
kind of every man hero in a good Hitchcock picture. Right,

1694
01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:08.439
It's just you could believe that this could happen, and

1695
01:42:09.079 --> 01:42:11.399
maybe what happened to somebody like you, and him not

1696
01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:14.079
knowing who he is for the first half of the

1697
01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:17.479
movie is a fantastic gimmick. It's just really really great.

1698
01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:19.600
So I can't say and a good things about this.

1699
01:42:19.880 --> 01:42:24.640
I mean, we hear a lot talk these days about

1700
01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:29.439
you know, oh, you know, the in theater exhibition experiences

1701
01:42:29.479 --> 01:42:31.840
in jeopardy because of streaming and stuff like that. Right,

1702
01:42:32.279 --> 01:42:34.560
this is the kind of movie that San Antondoe, Right,

1703
01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:37.359
you want to see this movie in a theater, right,

1704
01:42:37.439 --> 01:42:39.319
If you can't, I mean, it's I'm sure it's going

1705
01:42:39.359 --> 01:42:42.279
to do really great when it's home video at some point.

1706
01:42:42.319 --> 01:42:44.920
But this is the theatrical experience that will make you

1707
01:42:44.960 --> 01:42:46.840
want to go back to the movies again and go

1708
01:42:46.880 --> 01:42:49.119
find it if you can a big format screen like

1709
01:42:49.239 --> 01:42:52.279
you and i'm ax, and see it in the biggest

1710
01:42:52.279 --> 01:42:55.640
possible venue you can and just revel in somebody that

1711
01:42:55.640 --> 01:42:58.720
actually remembers how to make movies the way they used to.

1712
01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:02.239
And you'll come out feeling really happy. You did so

1713
01:43:02.439 --> 01:43:05.039
ten for me, and I'm really excited that we got

1714
01:43:05.039 --> 01:43:05.560
the review.

1715
01:43:06.079 --> 01:43:09.600
The music is beautiful. Music is beautiful as well.

1716
01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:12.319
This is a real pig mm hmm.

1717
01:43:12.399 --> 01:43:17.039
Well Eric, yeah, good music.

1718
01:43:18.600 --> 01:43:20.720
I think I don't think Eric gave us a score

1719
01:43:21.439 --> 01:43:22.279
yet I did.

1720
01:43:22.439 --> 01:43:25.279
I did not give a score. No, yeah, so I

1721
01:43:25.560 --> 01:43:28.640
you know, I'm probably probably the one person on the

1722
01:43:28.640 --> 01:43:31.600
podcast that read the book and I and that's only

1723
01:43:31.640 --> 01:43:35.319
because I got interested interested maybe two years ago in

1724
01:43:35.359 --> 01:43:39.800
it or so great book. This is the most as

1725
01:43:39.840 --> 01:43:43.880
I said, authentic adaptation of a book that I have seen.

1726
01:43:44.640 --> 01:43:47.680
It just it has all the main parts. They managed

1727
01:43:47.720 --> 01:43:51.520
to compress a five hundred page book into two and

1728
01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:53.720
a half hours in a pretty good way. I mean,

1729
01:43:54.319 --> 01:43:56.920
like Paul was saying, there were a few scenes that

1730
01:43:57.000 --> 01:44:00.479
felt a little compressed and a little rushed, but it

1731
01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:03.159
was already two hours and thirty six minutes, so you

1732
01:44:03.199 --> 01:44:05.960
don't want to go like too much longer on the movie, right,

1733
01:44:06.840 --> 01:44:11.000
And the differences between the book and the movie were

1734
01:44:11.079 --> 01:44:17.199
not substantial, you know, a little bit of so Andy

1735
01:44:17.239 --> 01:44:20.920
Weir is kind of known for over explaining the science

1736
01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:23.479
of things. I think v was kind of saying something

1737
01:44:23.520 --> 01:44:28.159
about that, and he will spend chapters explaining the math

1738
01:44:28.520 --> 01:44:32.239
of how something works out, or you know, explaining why

1739
01:44:32.319 --> 01:44:37.359
the Zena Nite actually leaks through the or sorry, not

1740
01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:41.159
the Zena Night the Taumiba leaks through the xenoite shell

1741
01:44:41.439 --> 01:44:44.319
of the you know, alien ship, and that kind of stuff.

1742
01:44:44.520 --> 01:44:49.039
So if you're into really really nerdy science fiction stuff

1743
01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:52.760
that is very science y, I would recommend reading the book. Otherwise,

1744
01:44:53.239 --> 01:44:56.840
this is just a really awesome movie adaptation of a

1745
01:44:56.880 --> 01:44:59.680
really awesome book. Rocky was adorable. The fact that I

1746
01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:03.560
can all in love with an alien character that doesn't

1747
01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:07.439
have a face, I think is a testament to the

1748
01:45:07.800 --> 01:45:10.640
to the you know, puppeteering skills that we kind of

1749
01:45:10.680 --> 01:45:15.359
got to see in this show. I thought Ryan Gosling

1750
01:45:15.439 --> 01:45:19.239
was awesome. I will say that I thought his portrayal

1751
01:45:19.399 --> 01:45:22.920
of his character early in the movie, when he's just

1752
01:45:23.039 --> 01:45:26.319
kind of waking up, was a little over goofy. But

1753
01:45:26.840 --> 01:45:30.199
you know that's all right, Okay, it's like Ryan Gosling,

1754
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:34.319
so it's not too overboard, you know, for that sort

1755
01:45:34.359 --> 01:45:39.840
of character. But like generally speaking, fantastic movie. I really

1756
01:45:39.880 --> 01:45:43.159
loved it. I'm going to give it a ten because

1757
01:45:43.399 --> 01:45:46.520
I can't imagine a better adaptation of this awesome book.

1758
01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:55.720
All right, all right, so child our Facebook fans gave

1759
01:45:55.760 --> 01:45:57.520
it a nine point three.

1760
01:45:58.039 --> 01:45:59.399
How about the Truck's worth.

1761
01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:03.159
All the truck birds gave it a nine point eight.

1762
01:46:05.920 --> 01:46:10.560
Wow, that's that's not too shabby.

1763
01:46:10.800 --> 01:46:11.840
That's pretty shabby.

1764
01:46:12.479 --> 01:46:14.960
Yeah, pretty good.

1765
01:46:15.439 --> 01:46:21.640
And now Andy Ware will explain the math of that average. Well, totally,

1766
01:46:21.760 --> 01:46:23.439
what's the difference to your point three and a point eight?

1767
01:46:23.479 --> 01:46:25.159
I don't understand. Well, let's take you.

1768
01:46:26.159 --> 01:46:28.720
I love that stuff, man, I'm so into it.

1769
01:46:31.439 --> 01:46:33.920
Great stuff. What a what a picture? You know, really amazing.

1770
01:46:33.960 --> 01:46:35.600
You'll love it when you see it, Charles, you will

1771
01:46:36.079 --> 01:46:41.319
love it. It's it's it's such a you know, it's

1772
01:46:41.359 --> 01:46:44.479
just great to see everybody doing a great job in

1773
01:46:44.520 --> 01:46:45.159
a movie.

1774
01:46:45.359 --> 01:46:48.920
Heartfelt, Right, It's like it's a film, like Paul was saying,

1775
01:46:48.920 --> 01:46:53.039
it's really a like it's science fiction. Yes, it's science y,

1776
01:46:53.119 --> 01:46:56.239
Yes it has a plot, yes, but it's really about

1777
01:46:56.239 --> 01:47:02.279
this like unbelievable relationship between two characters that can barely

1778
01:47:02.680 --> 01:47:06.520
communicate with one another, and how that relationship sort of

1779
01:47:06.600 --> 01:47:09.319
grows over the course of you know, two hours in.

1780
01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:12.279
The movie, you know, and think about the subtext of that, right,

1781
01:47:12.319 --> 01:47:14.800
because it's just like, basically the movie is about, Okay,

1782
01:47:15.039 --> 01:47:18.800
these two individuals could not be more different or have

1783
01:47:19.760 --> 01:47:23.279
more of a challenge communicating. Yeah, I can't even communicate.

1784
01:47:23.319 --> 01:47:26.920
They don't even you know, exist in the same atmospheres,

1785
01:47:26.920 --> 01:47:30.319
they don't have the same laws of reality almost yet

1786
01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:34.520
they work it out. They cooperate absolutely, and they find

1787
01:47:34.520 --> 01:47:37.439
affection for each other. That is a message that we

1788
01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:40.720
need right now in this country, right, And I think

1789
01:47:40.760 --> 01:47:42.479
that is that is one of the reasons I think

1790
01:47:42.479 --> 01:47:45.359
that audiences will flock through this movie is because it

1791
01:47:45.399 --> 01:47:47.199
reminds us that we know, we can actually you know,

1792
01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:52.359
overcome those different things and find a commonality of being together. So,

1793
01:47:52.479 --> 01:47:54.479
I mean, it's it's like Jim said, that is a

1794
01:47:54.520 --> 01:47:57.800
star Trek message. And I think that is.

1795
01:47:57.760 --> 01:48:02.239
To the point Paul important self sacrifice, right like rock

1796
01:48:02.279 --> 01:48:04.399
out one.

1797
01:48:05.279 --> 01:48:11.479
Help the needs of your co star, the needs of

1798
01:48:11.520 --> 01:48:12.960
the space.

1799
01:48:13.119 --> 01:48:17.079
I was thinking immediately, what popped into my head? Why

1800
01:48:17.079 --> 01:48:20.800
does God need a starship? I don't know how my

1801
01:48:20.880 --> 01:48:28.920
brain made that connection, but it, you know, I don't know,

1802
01:48:28.359 --> 01:48:30.920
I just it just popped into my head.

1803
01:48:30.920 --> 01:48:34.439
When he said that, it's like, what is because you know,

1804
01:48:34.479 --> 01:48:35.319
why is that? Why is this?

1805
01:48:38.079 --> 01:48:38.680
Sorry?

1806
01:48:39.119 --> 01:48:45.159
All right, thank you, thank you.

1807
01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:49.319
It's thank you, It's okay, wed program.

1808
01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:50.399
Oh yeah.

1809
01:48:50.760 --> 01:48:54.399
And also well and they also related over over Maye.

1810
01:48:55.000 --> 01:48:55.319
You know.

1811
01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:00.960
You know something to that you wouldn't.

1812
01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:07.720
Expect mm hm.

1813
01:49:09.800 --> 01:49:15.039
M hmm. Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's like when you're

1814
01:49:15.079 --> 01:49:17.960
really surprised, Oh we have something, we have that in common.

1815
01:49:17.960 --> 01:49:20.359
What it's like, you know, it's you know, surprising, it's

1816
01:49:20.359 --> 01:49:23.000
it's like, well that whole thing that you know, you're

1817
01:49:23.199 --> 01:49:25.399
when you find common ground that you weren't expecting to

1818
01:49:25.479 --> 01:49:27.840
find with something, it's a powerful moment.

1819
01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:31.520
And I love that idea of having to come up

1820
01:49:31.560 --> 01:49:36.520
with a word for the concept that you're talking about,

1821
01:49:37.800 --> 01:49:41.920
and like what you know when he spoiler, So when

1822
01:49:41.920 --> 01:49:45.600
he talks about his mate's name, right, Like, how do

1823
01:49:45.640 --> 01:49:49.760
you translate something like that? You have to It has

1824
01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:53.159
to be based on your understanding of the person you're

1825
01:49:53.159 --> 01:49:57.039
talking to, of your empathy for them, of the like

1826
01:49:58.199 --> 01:50:02.800
world that they've sort of built around their persona. So

1827
01:50:03.079 --> 01:50:06.640
the fact that it was he chooses to translate the

1828
01:50:06.760 --> 01:50:11.399
name of Rocky's mate to to what he does, I

1829
01:50:11.520 --> 01:50:15.079
just think is it's just a beautiful moment in the movie.

1830
01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:18.359
Somewhere online, I saw somebody somebody is already making the

1831
01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:21.600
Rocky figures because somebody had one.

1832
01:50:22.840 --> 01:50:32.600

01:53:52.800 --> 01:53:56.079
think is particularly interesting and I love that he got

1882
01:53:56.079 --> 01:53:59.840

01:54:20.720 --> 01:54:23.560
a kid. I love The A Team. It was literally

1889
01:54:23.600 --> 01:54:25.600
one of my favorite shows. I'm so excited about the

1890
01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:28.800
ad and Lance Glatt was an instrumental part of that.

1891
01:54:29.600 --> 01:54:32.239
He did the voice work for cartoons and video games

1892
01:54:32.279 --> 01:54:35.560
along the way, and was the narrator of the tour

1893
01:54:35.880 --> 01:54:41.720
for Elvis Presley's Graceland, like the audio tour little recorder

1894
01:54:41.760 --> 01:54:44.920
thing that you pick up, because he was a really,

1895
01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:49.399
really good friend of Elvis Presley. So if you I

1896
01:54:49.439 --> 01:54:51.359
don't know if it's to this day, but for a

1897
01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:54.239
very long time his voice was the one that you

1898
01:54:54.279 --> 01:54:56.640
would hear when you went to Graceland and did the

1899
01:54:56.640 --> 01:55:01.960

I think that was just a show that my family

1942
01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:06.159

episode Soon Katzi, where he was working with seven of nine.

1999
02:02:08.840 --> 02:02:11.239

02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:16.960
Next, Happy Birthday to Melinda Kolia. She's the actress and

my favorites, Very deep and a very you know, big

2004
02:02:30.079 --> 02:02:31.359
important message in that.

2005
02:02:38.880 --> 02:02:45.479
Mm hmm, yeah, the I I do at a camp

we oh yeahkspt it really really is. Oh my gosh.

2008
02:02:56.039 --> 02:03:01.840
Next, another of that episode that's my favorite, watched it today,

2009
02:03:02.279 --> 02:03:06.720
happen to be on Leslie Hope. She's a Canadian actress

2014

Happy Birthday goes to Alan Dale and he's the actor

02:04:21.359 --> 02:04:24.159
You just fling and flap to your heart's content, my friend.

2024
02:04:24.239 --> 02:04:27.439
Thank you so much. Thank you. So we are Yes,

2025
02:04:27.479 --> 02:04:29.760
we're Star Trek, but we're also Star Trek and beyond.

2026
02:04:29.880 --> 02:04:32.520
So we talk about people who.

2027
02:04:32.479 --> 02:04:34.279
Aren't just in Star Trek, as we've proven with our

2028
02:04:34.319 --> 02:04:37.720
movie review tonight. So first of all, DC fans give

2029
02:04:37.760 --> 02:04:41.399
it up for Gal Gadot, Israeli actress who.

2030
02:04:41.279 --> 02:04:44.239
Gained recognition portraying.

2031
02:04:43.720 --> 02:04:48.479
Wonder Woman in all of those DC extended Uterus films.

2032
02:04:48.520 --> 02:04:51.880
In twenty eighteen, she was named one of Time's Time

2033
02:04:51.920 --> 02:04:56.159
magazine that is one hundred most influential people and ranked

2034
02:04:56.159 --> 02:05:00.199
by Forbes is the tenth highest paid actress. Oh the

2035
02:05:00.199 --> 02:05:02.439
first Israeli actor to receive a star in the Hollywood

2036
02:05:02.439 --> 02:05:05.600
Walk of Fame twenty twenty five. Will we see her

2037
02:05:05.640 --> 02:05:08.600
as Wonder Woman again? I don't know. Things are always

2038
02:05:08.640 --> 02:05:11.119
uncertain over there in the DC universe. Surprises that happened

2039
02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:14.239
all the time. Happy going back to Star Trek for

2040
02:05:14.279 --> 02:05:19.520
a moment. Happy birthday to the awesome Santiago Cabrera Venezuela

2041
02:05:19.520 --> 02:05:23.720
and born Chilean British actor who played Crystal bal Rios

2042
02:05:23.960 --> 02:05:28.000
in the first and second season episodes of Picard, and

2043
02:05:28.319 --> 02:05:31.399
he just I think was great. He was a bright

2044
02:05:31.479 --> 02:05:34.520
spot of those first two seasons for me, very charismatic.

2045
02:05:34.520 --> 02:05:37.119
He's born in ven Venezuela, where his father, at Chilean

2046
02:05:37.159 --> 02:05:40.880
diplomat served at the time, and later lived in England, Romania,

2047
02:05:41.079 --> 02:05:45.239
Canada and Spain. I hope we get to see him again.

2048
02:05:45.399 --> 02:05:46.960
I would like to see the character come back to

2049
02:05:46.960 --> 02:05:52.680
some capacity. It's very I'm just overwhelmed and gushion to

2050
02:05:52.800 --> 02:05:56.039
be able to wish a happy birthday to the great

2051
02:05:56.199 --> 02:06:01.760
the legendary Lance Henrickson, actor, best known for his roles

2052
02:06:01.800 --> 02:06:06.800
in various science fiction, action and horrors, including his memorable

2053
02:06:06.840 --> 02:06:12.199
turn as the synthetic I prefer the term artificial persons

2054
02:06:12.640 --> 02:06:17.199
in the Alien franchise, most notably in Aliens. For Jim Santon,

2055
02:06:17.239 --> 02:06:21.039
who frequently collaborates with and in the X File spin

2056
02:06:21.079 --> 02:06:24.720
off A Millennium, he played the main character in that show,

2057
02:06:25.199 --> 02:06:28.239
Frank Black, which is very cool. He's done a ton

2058
02:06:28.279 --> 02:06:32.840
of voice work, the Disney picture Tarzan, Call of Duty.

2059
02:06:34.199 --> 02:06:36.920
He's just been in tons of tons of great pictures,

2060
02:06:37.279 --> 02:06:42.439
the great horror picture Pumpkinhead from the eighties, The Right Stuff,

2061
02:06:43.199 --> 02:06:46.640
which is one of the best movies about space exploration,

2062
02:06:46.680 --> 02:06:49.079
you'll ever see him dying for that to come out

2063
02:06:49.119 --> 02:06:54.199
on four K. And he was also really memorable in

2064
02:06:54.279 --> 02:06:58.159
the Terminator with Jim Cameron as well. An interesting fact

2065
02:06:58.800 --> 02:07:02.680
when you look at the early production designs for the Terminator,

2066
02:07:03.640 --> 02:07:07.520
Jim Cameron intended for Lance Hendrickson to be the Terminator, right.

2067
02:07:07.600 --> 02:07:09.520
That was initially the idea that he could just sort

2068
02:07:09.560 --> 02:07:14.640
of portray this sort of emotionless, impassive looking cold killer. Right,

2069
02:07:14.800 --> 02:07:17.359
But then they discover an Arnold and things kind of

2070
02:07:17.439 --> 02:07:21.079
changed and they reconceptualize things. So Lance Hendrickson got the

2071
02:07:21.159 --> 02:07:23.840
job of the main cop, the detective trying to solve

2072
02:07:23.880 --> 02:07:26.960
the Seric Aer murders. So really really cool. He's just

2073
02:07:27.000 --> 02:07:28.399
been lots of great things.

2074
02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:28.920
Though I'm.

2075
02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:34.039
Stone cold hard target, lots of great stuff. We've got

2076
02:07:34.039 --> 02:07:37.359
a three Golden Globe Awards for his role in Millennium

2077
02:07:37.399 --> 02:07:39.800
and won a Saturn for his work and Target, So

2078
02:07:40.279 --> 02:07:44.119
huge fan. This guy's just great. They'll always be Bishop

2079
02:07:44.199 --> 02:07:47.840
the whole bit with a knife thing, and this is

2080
02:07:48.039 --> 02:07:52.960
just awesome. Is a terrific performer. Happy birthday to Richard Cox,

2081
02:07:53.439 --> 02:07:55.840
actor from New York City, New York, played the role

2082
02:07:55.880 --> 02:08:00.239
of Kyrol Finn in Next Generation's third season episode The

2083
02:08:00.359 --> 02:08:04.560
high Ground another legends. We get our legends every now

2084
02:08:04.600 --> 02:08:07.079
and then, folks, so I'm happy to give it up

2085
02:08:07.119 --> 02:08:10.640
and say a very happy birthday to John Rice Davies,

2086
02:08:11.399 --> 02:08:13.760
who we are from. Star Trek is playing the holographic

2087
02:08:13.840 --> 02:08:17.760
recreation of Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci and Voyager's

2088
02:08:17.760 --> 02:08:22.479
third and fourth season episode Scorpion and Concerning Flight, where

2089
02:08:22.479 --> 02:08:26.840
he is the Da Vinci incarnation that is kind of

2090
02:08:26.840 --> 02:08:29.960
the sounding board for Katherine Jane Waye to pitch her

2091
02:08:30.000 --> 02:08:34.279
ideas off of an expressor conundrum. So a wonderful performance,

2092
02:08:34.479 --> 02:08:38.560
of course. He's also best known for his turn throughout

2093
02:08:38.600 --> 02:08:42.800
the Lord of the Rings movies, is playing Gimli the Dwarf,

2094
02:08:42.840 --> 02:08:46.520
who is just so fantastic in those pictures there and

2095
02:08:47.199 --> 02:08:50.760
in the end the Indiana Jones movies he played Sola

2096
02:08:51.079 --> 02:08:55.399
India I'm so pleased You're not dead, and Professor Maximilian

2097
02:08:55.520 --> 02:08:59.800
Arturo in the television series Sliders. But this guy, I've

2098
02:09:00.000 --> 02:09:01.640
I've had the pleasure to meet him. I sure hope too.

2099
02:09:01.680 --> 02:09:04.199
But man, is he ever nice to the fans at conventions.

2100
02:09:04.319 --> 02:09:07.199
He'll just get up and say anything and do whatever

2101
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:11.920
picture he's just a real gent and extremely charismatic and

2102
02:09:13.319 --> 02:09:16.840
we is a living legend. I mean, my goodness, I

2103
02:09:16.880 --> 02:09:18.560
just want to sit down and watch all the Lord

2104
02:09:18.600 --> 02:09:20.479
of the Rings of movies, just seeing his mug up there,

2105
02:09:20.640 --> 02:09:23.359
so he's just the great. Happy birthday to you, sir,

2106
02:09:23.479 --> 02:09:29.079
long may you wave, and happy birthday to Rashad Bezade Kamal,

2107
02:09:29.640 --> 02:09:33.960
often credited as John Rashad Kamal, an actor, has made

2108
02:09:34.000 --> 02:09:38.119
his film debut as Commander Soon in Star Trek Emotion Picture,

2109
02:09:39.760 --> 02:09:43.039
the great great grandson of Sultan man At five of

2110
02:09:43.079 --> 02:09:48.000
the Ottoman Empire. Wow, that is quite a legacy to

2111
02:09:48.039 --> 02:09:50.239
be able to hang on to there, sir. So that's

2112
02:09:50.239 --> 02:09:53.239
pretty amazing. So again, anytime I see a reference for

2113
02:09:53.279 --> 02:09:55.399
Star Trek Emotion Picture, I kind of want to go

2114
02:09:55.399 --> 02:09:57.239
watch it again because I think it's one of those

2115
02:09:57.279 --> 02:09:59.960
movies that I just enjoy more every time I see

2116
02:10:00.079 --> 02:10:04.600
it's it's aging well, like a fine bottle of wine.

2117
02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:07.840
And I am looking forward to going and seeing Commander

2118
02:10:07.920 --> 02:10:11.239
Sonak again next time I see that, And I think

2119
02:10:11.319 --> 02:10:13.119
that's all I've got on my list. But you know

2120
02:10:13.159 --> 02:10:15.920
what birthdays, they are just out there. You know who's

2121
02:10:15.920 --> 02:10:20.319
gonna show up and I'm willing to bet a week's pet,

2122
02:10:20.640 --> 02:10:24.079
but Uncle Jim still has one more or two birthdays

2123
02:10:24.279 --> 02:10:27.960
potentially up his sleeve. Am I crazy? Uncle Jim? Don't

2124
02:10:28.000 --> 02:10:32.399
answer that, well, I don't have to do.

2125
02:10:34.119 --> 02:10:35.880
Yeah. I love that he was dead so he gave

2126
02:10:35.920 --> 02:10:36.399
him the eric.

2127
02:10:40.600 --> 02:10:42.880
I would have been more than happy to do it.

2128
02:10:45.399 --> 02:10:48.479
You know, I got to say that he was dead,

2129
02:10:48.520 --> 02:10:53.640
so I threw. I do want to say that that

2130
02:10:53.640 --> 02:10:56.680
that scene between McCoy and him and Start five is

2131
02:10:56.720 --> 02:10:59.680
one of the reasons that cements that movie is one

2132
02:10:59.680 --> 02:11:03.359
of my favous because the forest Kelly just nailed that

2133
02:11:03.479 --> 02:11:06.920
scene completely. It's just it's one of the best scenes

2134
02:11:06.920 --> 02:11:11.600
I've seen in any Star Trek is that death scene. Anyway,

2135
02:11:12.119 --> 02:11:15.479
back to my birthdays, I want to say happy birthday

2136
02:11:15.960 --> 02:11:21.279
to Ron Canada. He appeared as in TG's fifth season

2137
02:11:21.319 --> 02:11:27.560
episode Masterpiece of Society. He appeared as Chopo the Klingon

2138
02:11:27.720 --> 02:11:31.319
in d S nine's fourth season episode Rules of Engagement,

2139
02:11:31.960 --> 02:11:35.880
and he appeared as Feznek and Voyager's fifth season episode

2140
02:11:36.079 --> 02:11:37.039
The Juggernaut.

2141
02:11:37.520 --> 02:11:42.119
Three great episodes, three great characters, But wait, there's more.

2142
02:11:42.720 --> 02:11:46.359
You always saved the best for last, right and uh,

2143
02:11:46.560 --> 02:11:48.920
you know it's definitely been a long road getting from

2144
02:11:48.960 --> 02:11:52.840
there to here, and she made flap her arms around

2145
02:11:52.920 --> 02:11:55.760
a lot. But we definitely have to wish a very

2146
02:11:55.840 --> 02:11:57.199
very happy birthday.

2147
02:11:58.520 --> 02:11:59.560
Thank you so much.

2148
02:11:59.760 --> 02:12:00.199
Thank you.

2149
02:12:01.079 --> 02:12:04.079
Yeah, and I yeah, David asked for a picture, and

2150
02:12:04.119 --> 02:12:05.600
that's my favorite picture.

2151
02:12:06.760 --> 02:12:07.079
I think.

2152
02:12:07.600 --> 02:12:12.800
Yeah, that was you know, looks like you know, that

2153
02:12:12.920 --> 02:12:17.199
was just epic. But anyway, but thank you all so much. Yeah,

2154
02:12:17.239 --> 02:12:18.520
it was. It was last Friday.

2155
02:12:18.520 --> 02:12:21.279
I did absolutely nothing for it, but that's okay because

2156
02:12:22.159 --> 02:12:28.359
you know I'm here this week. So yes I did.

2157
02:12:28.439 --> 02:12:31.800
Which was that was wonderful, so many, so many, so

2158
02:12:31.880 --> 02:12:38.319
much fun, so much fun. Almost I think it'll be

2159
02:12:38.760 --> 02:12:41.399
I have to look on I think it was. It

2160

2196
02:15:03.239 --> 02:15:06.119
thank you so much to Pa for recommending him many

2197
02:15:06.239 --> 02:15:07.279
and for joining us tonight.

2198
02:15:07.319 --> 02:15:09.119
Thank you.

2199
02:15:09.399 --> 02:15:11.319
I love it when there's something that people get all

2200
02:15:11.359 --> 02:15:14.199
excited about, and I love it when the movie comes

2201
02:15:14.239 --> 02:15:19.439
out that sort of pushes the collective, you know, society's

2202
02:15:19.479 --> 02:15:21.720
love for science fiction a little farther out there.

2203
02:15:21.800 --> 02:15:21.920
Right.

2204
02:15:22.039 --> 02:15:25.119
More people will get turned onto science fiction because of

2205
02:15:25.760 --> 02:15:28.600
a movie like this, and especially young folks growing up

2206
02:15:29.119 --> 02:15:31.199
right who maybe they didn't think sci fi was for

2207
02:15:31.239 --> 02:15:34.039
them before, right, and then they see this movie, like, oh,

2208
02:15:34.039 --> 02:15:36.880
what other sci fi is out there? And they'll end

2209
02:15:36.960 --> 02:15:39.479
up discovering Star Trek and a lot of other things.

2210
02:15:39.479 --> 02:15:43.600
So it's a lot of good comes from a successful movie. Good.

2211
02:15:45.159 --> 02:15:48.039
