De pronto estalló el pánico en Nueva Jersey. A la gente le temblaban las piernas, y gritaba. Mujeres se desmayaban, y hombres se echaban a las calle esa noche, según dice el New York Times. Las líneas de teléfono estaban colapsadas, y a las dos horas la Cruz Roja y la Guardia Nacional se movilizaba en muchas zonas del este de Estados Unidos. Todo esto ocurrió el 30 de octubre de 1938, a causa de una emisión por radio que hizo Orson Welles en un teatro de Nueva York, dando la impresión que los marcianos estaban invadiendo en la Tierra. Bajo la forma y lenguaje de un informativo, los actores de la CBS, convertidos en locutores de noticias, anunciaron la llegada de una avalancha de platillos volantes, con conexiones a hipotéticas unidades móviles que narraban el aterrizaje de las naves y describían a aquellos temibles extraterrestres. Se calcula que casi dos millones de oyentes creyeron que la invasión era cierta, El texto dramatizado por Howard Koch estaba basado en la novela clásica de ciencia-ficción, La guerra de los mundos (1898) de H. G. Wells (1866-1946). En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del programa de Welles y el libro de Wells, leído por Eugenio Barona. Oímos algunas reacciones a la emisión de Welles, así como diálogos de escenas de las películas sobre el libro de Byron Haskin en 1953 y Steven Spielberg en 2005. La música es de la banda sonora original de John Williams para el film de Spielberg y las composiciones inspiradas en esta obra de Jack Hallam y Jeff Wayne. La narración es de José de Segovia y el sonido de Daniel Panduro.

Denmark might not be the first country you think of when it comes to science fiction films, but Django and Smut put it on the space map with the latest theme week, celebrating two film makers that made their mark on the genre: Ib Melchior and Sidney W. Pink. The Dane Melchior was a distinguished World War II hero who was awarded the Bronze Heart, before embarking on writing and directing. He met American producer Sidney W. Pink, who moved to Denmark in 1959, as related in this interview by Ib late in his long and rich life. The two would form an un-easy creative partnership that spanned Denmark and the US across several films - and all because of union issues. Already on Cultpix: "Reptilicus" (1961) - Denmark's first and only Kaiju film sees a giant lizard re-grown from a frozen tail rampage downtown Copenhagen, creating un-Hygge feeling. Dirch Passer sings a song with a bunch of kids about Reptilicus, in a scene cut from the US releases of the film. "Death Race 2000" (1975) - This car race cult classic was based on the short story "The Racer" by Ib Melchior, which you can hear a great reading of in this radio series episode form MindWebs, which aired on WHA Radio in Madison, Wisconsin from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s."Candidate for a Killing" (1968) - Euro-thriller produced by Pink. Ib said Pink eventually became a personan non-grata in both Denmark and Spain. "13 Demon Street" (1959) - Echoes of "Reptilicus", "Terror in the Midnight Sun" (1959) and "The Thing" (1951) in this TV episode about a women frozen in ice. New on Cultpix:"The Angry Red Planet" (1959) - CineMagic was the process to give this tale of astronauts fighting off carnivorous plants, giant amoebas and a bat-rat-spider-crab creature on Mars a distinctive look. It wasn't quite 3D, but gives the film a unique look. "Journey to the Seventh Planet" (1962) - Cue jokes about probes being sent to 'your anus'. But this film has echoes of 'Solaris' in terms of the UN astronauts' memories creating flesh and blood women appear suddenly. Set in the year 2001. "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" (1964) - Daniel Defoe's classic story re-told on the red planet. Byron Haskin directed the Ib Melchior screenplay with great use of Death Valley. Victor Lundin, one of the stars of the film, wrote an eponymous song that he played at sci-fi conventions. "Keep Off the Grass" (1970) - Ib's anti-marijuana information film from the era of Nixon's 'War on Drugs'. Don't miss the next Theme Week: films name checked in Rocky Horror Picture Show's "Science Fiction/Double Feature" song. There is of course a Danish Dudes Spotify playlist.

Jordan Peele's latest film, NOPE, tells a flying saucer story decades removed from the Atomic Age concerns of Byron Haskin's 1953 adaptation of H.G. Wells' WAR OF THE WORLDS, but both operate from a similar understanding that an encounter with hostile aliens is never just an encounter with hostile aliens. There are other forces at work in both films, and this week we're digging into WAR and its effects on science-fiction stories to come, from its reflection of contemporary anxieties to the unexpected bleakness of its supposed happy ending. Plus, a bevy of new feedback prompts some lightning-round responses about IP hypocrisy, alternate Baz Luhrmann timelines, and candid vs. scripted monologues.

For our 101st episode, we're covering our oldest film yet: 1955's Conquest of Space, the speculative science fiction adventure from the producer/director team that brought us the seminal War of the Worlds two years before. It's widely thought that George Pal and Byron Haskin's depiction of the first manned mission to Mars – crucially brought to the screen 6 years before we got off the planet and 14 years before we got to the moon – was a heavy influence on the sci-fi genre and Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in particular. But is it any good? Find out! The film for this episode was graciously donated by Via Vision, who Imprint label releases amazing special editions of cult classics for collectors to enjoy.

THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW ~Season 5, Episode 42~ "Is this the day? Is this the beginning of the end? There is no time to wonder. No time to ask why is it happening, why is it finally happening. There is time only for fear, for the piercing pain of panic. Do we pray? Or do we merely run now and pray later? Will there be a later? Or is this the day?" This week's show is inspired by The Outer Limits, a classic science fiction television show that ran from 1963 to 1965. My favorite episode is called "The Architects of Fear." In response to Cold War fears of total nuclear annihilation, a secretive scientific order plots to unite the world against a common enemy -- a monster from outer space, to be precise. Only the monster would need to come from their own ranks, a volunteer who would undergo a risky surgery that would transform his entire being into one from the planet Theta. Names are put in a bowl and Dr. Allen Leighton (played by Robert Culp) ends up being selected to undergo the dangerous metamorphosis. Meanwhile, his spacecraft is being prepared for a dramatic landing at UN headquarters when the transformation is complete. The episode was directed by Byron Haskin, who a decade earlier had brought War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells to the big screen. PLAYLIST: IS THIS THE DAY? (00:00) 1.

EL CID por Fernando Alonso Barahona "El ciego sol, la sed y la fatiga por la terrible estepa castellana al destierro con doce de los suyos, polvo, sudor y hierro El Cid cabalga"; MANUEL MACHADO El sabor del Romancero (Dios que buen vasallo si tuviera buen señor ) , de los héroes capaces de entregar su vida a la más esforzada de las causas, se percibe y dibuja en El Cid , la película de Anthony Mann, producida en 1961 por Samuel Bronston y que se ha convertido en un icono de la épica en el séptimo arte . Me he referido a esta singular obra maestra en mis libros "Charlton Heston la épica de un héroe"; (EIUNSA 1999) y Anthony Mann (Film Ideal 1997 ). Manuel Hidalgo publicó un precioso y completo libro sobre la obra : Matalo tu ( el amor ), y Jesus García de Dueñas contó la historia de la película en su monumental libro El imperio Bronston . El Cid es sin duda Charlton Heston en una encarnación prodigiosa del ese héroe de historia, romances, teatro , poesía y aventura . Su legado cinematográfico como actor es impresionante : Pasión bajo la niebla (Ruby Gentry ) de King Vidor – espléndido melodrama al lado de Jennifer Jones – y El mayor espectáculo del mundo, de Cecil B de Mille, ganadora del Oscar a la mejor película iniciaron su camino del éxito . Luego vendrían : , Cuando ruge la marabunta (The naked edge ), Los Diez Mandamientos (The ten Commandments ), Sed de mal (Touch of evil ), Horizontes de grandeza (The big country ), Ben Hur, El Cid, 55 dias en Pekín , El tormento y el extasis (The agony and the ecstasy ), Khartoum, El planeta de los simios (The planet of the apes ), El señor de la guerra (The war lord ), Mayor Dundee, Will Penny, The Omega man , Cuando el destino nos alcance (Soylent green ), Terremoto (Earthquake ), Marco Antonio y Cleopatra, Mother lode, A man for all seasons, La isla del tesoro (Treasure island ) a las órdenes de directores como Cecil B. de Mille, William Wyler, Orson Welles, King Vidor, Nicholas Ray, Anthony Mann, Carol Reed, Byron Haskin, Franklin J. Schaffner, Richard Fleischer, Sam Peckinpah ….conforman la carrera excepcional de un auténtico héroe épico que como el Cid Campeador, en la vida y en la muerte, fue el ” más noble caballero andante que jamás ciñera espada “. El Cid es la historia de un héroe leal a su rey y valeroso hasta la extenuación , que sabe amar ( la reconciliación con Jimena es un momento mágico de romanticismo y belleza ), cumplir con su deber ( la jura de Santa Gadea en la que obliga al Rey Alfonso a jurar que no tuvo parte en la muerte de su hermano don Sancho ), pelear ( el juicio de Dios de Calahorra , un ejemplo de montaje y puesta en escena absolutamente antológica ) , perdonar ( España tiene por fin un rey, le musita herido de muerte al rey Alfonso cuando éste reconoce por fin su error y corre a su lado ) y morir ( la antológica escena de la muerte de Rodrigo - El Cid - agarrado al brazo de Jimena y haciéndola prometer que a la mañana siguiente habrá de conducir a sus tropas a la victoria, vivo o muerto . Anthony Mann ( su obra fue analizada con entusiasmo por Felix Martialay en los especiales de Film Ideal de la época ) logró transmitir unas imágenes de poderosa belleza , desde el paisaje agreste de Castilla hasta la emocionante secuencia final : el héroe cabalgando en la playa y perdiéndose en el horizonte tras haber cruzado las puertas de la Historia para entrar en la leyenda . Charlton Heston es el Cid en su más pefecta encarnación - como supo reconocer Ramon Menéndez Pidal , el mayor especialista cidiano en todo el mundo - , héroe, valiente , esforzado, el caballero andante en su expresión suma . Sofia Loren posee la belleza serena que otorga a doña Jimena un carácter parecido a Dulcinea, pero es también la mujer fuerte que defiende la memoria de su padre y cumple la última voluntad de su esposo . El Cid es poesía épica , una película bellísima, perfecta en su concepción, desarrollo y personajes, producida con amor y pasión por Samuel Bronston que logró convertir el personaje histórico español en una leyenda universal para las nuevas generaciones que se acercan a la película y reviven el Romancero , la Reconquista de España , el honor y la lealtad a través de las figuras de Charlton Heston (Rodrigo ), Raf Vallone, Herbert Lom, Genevieve Page o Hurt Hatfield, los actores que completan el ajustado reparto . El guión lo firmó Philip Yordan y la magnífica banda sonora pertenece el gran Miklos Rozsa que venía de componer nada menos que Ben Hur y Rey de Reyes . El Cid permanece viva y hoy se disfruta aún más que en su estreno, sobre todo en un momento en el que el siglo XXI busca valores positivos, referencias y héroes auténticos . Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar , el Cid, es uno de ellos . Pero en ello han tenido mucho que ver el talento de Anthony Mann para contar una historia - en clave de "western"; se dijo en su momento - y Charlton Heston, el héroe épico por excelencia de la historia del cine .

He is an unsung hero from The Original Series. Associate producer Bob Justman was a key figure in keeping the production side of Star Trek functioning on time ...and on budget. He came to Star Trek in 1965 and started at the beginning, working on the first pilot, The Cage. Justman stayed until 1968, working on 14 of the 24 shows in the third season. Like Gene Coon, Bob Justman had a real impact on the show while he was there. He was a major player in getting Star Trek off the ground and functioning as a production. On this episode of 70s Trek, co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto tell you about Associate Producer Bob Justman. Show Notes Robert "Bob" Harris Justman was born July 13, 1926 in Brooklyn ⁃ As a boy he really liked Science Fiction ⁃ His father Joseph Justman was in the produce business. He and his partners did very well. ⁃ In 1944, Bob signed up for the draft. He didn’t get drafted so he went to the draft board and asked why he wasn’t drafted. They said he wasn’t needed. He told them he wanted to go so they sent him the PE building in LA for a physical. He failed due to his eye sight. He protested so they sent him to Ft MacArthur to get a real physical and made it. ⁃ While Bob was in the Navy during WW II his father, Joseph, founded the Motion Picture Center studio ⁃ He rented it to Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and in 1950 they bought. The studio became part of Desilu Studios. ⁃ When Bob returned from the navy he worked at the produce firm. He didn’t get paid very well so when his dad asked him to come to LA to work in the motion picture business he decided to leave the produce firm and go to LA. ⁃ He hung around the studio for a time until his money ran out. He then went to one of the producers and asked for a job. This landed him his first job working on the film “Three Husbands” as a production assistant Justman had quite a career in film and TV as a Production Assistant and Assistant director prior to TOS ⁃ Production assistant on such films as ⁃ 1951's ⁃ The Scarf (featuring Celia Lovsky), ⁃ New Mexico (featuring Jeff Corey and John Hoyt) ⁃ M (featuring Norman Lloyd and William Schallert) ⁃ He Ran All the Way (also with Norman Lloyd), ⁃ 1952's ⁃ Japanese War Bride (with George D. Wallace), ⁃ Red Planet Mars ⁃ Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (with Leonard Mudie) ⁃ 1953's ⁃ The Moon Is Blue - made in 2 version an english version and a german version ⁃ The Moonlighter. ⁃ Assistant Director and producer ⁃ To be an assistant director you had to be in the Director’s Guild. At the time, to get in the Guild you had to be either the son of a member or be nominated by a studio which was only allowed one nomination a year. He didn’t have either but he requested to be accepted anyway. After waiting an agonizing 30 minutes for an answer the president of the Assistant Directors Counsel, Bob Aldrich, went to him, shook his hand and said, “Welcome brother” ⁃ everyone starts as a 2nd assistant director. It only took Justman about a year to become 1st assistant director which was unheard of ⁃ After Superman Justman was approached to be 1st assistant director on a series of 3 films called “The Americans” which never saw the light of day ⁃ As an assistant director, Justman worked with director Bob Aldrich on several projects. ⁃ They first worked together on the 1952-53 NBC series The Doctor, - This was his first AD job ⁃ after which they collaborated on such films as Kiss Me Deadly (1955) and ⁃ Attack (1956, featuring William Smithers). ⁃ Justman's other films where he was assistant director included; ⁃ The Big Combo (1955, featuring John Hoyt and Whit Bissell), ⁃ Blood Alley (1955, starring Paul Fix), ⁃ While the City Sleeps (1956, with Celia Lovsky) ⁃ Director - Fritz Lang ⁃ Noticed Justman looking at his set plans and Lang spent time to explain the plans to him even though Justman was the 2nd AD ⁃ This was technics that Justman used in the future ⁃ Lang had issues with John Drew Barrymore ⁃ Barrymore looked to his wife for direction instead of Lang which did not make him very happy ⁃ Green Mansions (1959, starring Nehemiah Persoff), and ⁃ 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty (featuring Antoinette Bower, Torin Thatcher and stunts by Paul Baxley). ⁃ Justman was also an assistant director on television shows such as ⁃ The Adventures of Superman (1953-58, 78 ep) ⁃ associate producer for all 78 episodes and ⁃ assistant director on the classic series during its 1954-55 season. ⁃ Justman says that George Reeves was a trooper given what he was put thru ⁃ One time the wire broke and he dropped down to the cement ⁃ Justman learned early to schedule certain shots very carefully. As an example he tells a story about how Reeves would drink his lunch so when he would do the spring-board jump out the window he sort of missed and hit his knees on the window sill ⁃ The Thin Man (1958-59, 31 ep) ⁃ Northwest Passage (1958-59, 13 ep) ⁃ Philip Marlowe (1959-60, 26 ep) ⁃ Alcoa Presents One Step Beyond (1959-1961) ⁃ Produced at the same time as the more well-known The Twilight Zone (1959) ⁃ Some stars included Cloris Leachman, Warren Beatty, Jack Lord, Christopher Lee, Elizabeth Montgomery, Donald Pleasence, and William Shatner, ⁃ Dr. Kildare (1961-66, 6 ep) ⁃ Was asked by the President of MGM TV if Justman new any composers. Justman had heard some of Jerry Goldsmith’s scores and recommended him. As we talked about in Episode XXX This was one of Goldsmith’s breakout opportunities. ⁃ Justman and Goldsmith have never met ⁃ The Outer Limits (1963-65, 20 ep) ⁃ He served as the assistant director for all 20 episodes and a Production Manager in 1964 ⁃ Appeared in the 1964 episode "A Feasibility Study" (directed by Byron Haskin, written by Joseph Stefano, and starring David Opatoshu) ⁃ Worked with Shatner on “Cold Hands, Warm Heart” (1964) ⁃ Sally Kellerman, James Dohan ⁃ Lassie (1965-66, 4 ep) ⁃ My Friend Flicka (1956-57) ⁃ While the City SleepsFritz Lang ⁃ In Oct 1964 Justman met GR at Desilu to talk to him about Associate Producer role for the first TOS pilot “The Cage”. Justman recommended Byron Haskin saying that he (Justman) did not have enough post production experience ⁃ first to call Gene Roddenberry "The Great Bird of the Galaxy," drawn from a throwaway line from the original series episode "The Man Trap" That takes us to October 1964. Gene Roddenberry was in pre-production for Star Trek’s first pilot, The Cage and he needed an associate producer. An Associate Producer’s job is to do the dirty work on a show. This person makes sure both the production and post-production phases are running smoothly for every episode. They are also responsible for making sure each episode doesn’t run over budget. So with a show as complicated as Star Trek was going to be, Gene needed an experienced hand. He asked James Goldstone who had worked with Gene on The Lieutenant if he had any suggestions. He recommended Bob Justman. Justman met with Gene for about 30 minutes and Gene offered him the job. While Justman really wanted it, he turned down Roddenberry’s offer. He felt Star Trek’s post-production needs would be great, and he was afraid he didn’t have the experience to get the job done. But they also needed an experienced assistant director. Justman was, at the time, working on The Outer Limits. But Desilu’s Executive in Charge of Production, Herb Solow, called and asked if Justman could work for Star Trek temporarily, just 6 weeks. And that was it. The deal was done and Justman came to Star Trek. Now the original position that Justman had interviewed for, associate producer, went to Byron Haskin. He was an experienced producer, but was hard to get along with. And as work started on The Cage, he and Roddenberry butted heads a lot. Rodenberry would want a certain effect on a shot, and Haskin would tell him it couldn’t be done. Period. He gave Gene no alternative ideas. Often times, Justman was in the middle of these disputes trying to nudge Haskin to come up with something Work on The Cage finished, and NBC rejected it. But invited Roddenberry to try again. When Star Trek was offered to do the second pilot, Gene asked Justman back. This time, though, he gave him the job of associate producer. Gene had had enough of Haskin. Because of the budget on the 2nd pilot, when post-production finished on it, so did Justman’s job. This was the summer of 1965. But Desilu had attracted a number of pilot projects that needed produced. So Solow decided to make Justman the associate producer on all of them. This way he could stay at Desilu and be close by if Star Trek was picked up. Some of the work he did included Desilu’s other big show, Mission Impossible. Star Trek was picked up by NBC in March 1966. And Justman’s first task was to move the starship sets from the soundstage where the 2nd pilot was shot, to a new soundstage that would be its home for the series. This was actually a monumental task. Each section had to be removed, crated and put back into place on the new soundstage in exactly the same configuration. The move resulted in some of the sets being redesigned, and reworked for the series. One of those sets was the bridge that got a big make over. As the show started production, it was Justman’s job to make sure all the little details were taken care of. Some of this work included analyzing scripts and establishing production budgets for them, Making sure production on one episode, production and post production on a 2nd were all moving forward simultaneously and on schedule. Any issues for any shows in any of these stages, were Justman’s to work out. Along with his day-to-day duties, Justman also acted in one episode of the series, though he is not creditied for it, He is the voice of a security guard in the episode Conscience of the King. He also found time to come up with a story idea. He came up with the basic story for the episode Tomorrow is Yesterday. In fact, he laid that story out in a memo to Gene on April 12, 1966. When he didn’t hear anything for 8 months, he sent a reminder to Gene about the idea. At that point, the show was hungry for scripts, so Roddenberry approved of the idea and assigned Dorothy Fontana to write the screenplay. But in his second memo, you cans ee a little of Justman’s wit. He wrote at the end, “Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience, as otherwise I feel I shall be forced to sell this story idea to “Time Tunnel.” ” That’s just one example of Justman’s wit, and it is pretty legendary. He would often let his sarcastic sense of humor and dry wit fly in memos. An example of his humor can actually be seen in the closing credits of the show. For Herb Solow’s credit, Justman intentionally chose a picture of the Balok dummy from the Corbmite Maneuver and positioned Solow’s credit just under the glaring eyes of Balok. Justman later wrote in the Book Inside Star Trek, “I thought it a fitting tribute, as did Herb, who thanked me profusely, thereby depriving me of some heavy-duty gloating. I still have the original credit and display it in my office at home, suitably framed in the cheapest, junkiest frame I could find.” And there’s another incident that speaks to Justman’s humor. The show was shooting a script that was still being written by Roddenberry. The last shot was about to be completed, and if they didn’t get the new pages for the next scene, they would be forced to shut down production. That costs money! So Justman went to Gene’s office. Roddenberry kept writing away, and didn’t acknowledge Justman. Justman waited a few minutes and finally asked, him, “How much longer Gene?” Roddenberry ignored him and kept writing. Justman waited some more. At one point Gene looked up, thinking about something, ignored Justman, and went back to work. Justman later wrote, “He shouldn’t have done that. I climbed up onto his desk and stood there, looking down at him. ‘That’ll teach him to ignore me, I thought.” After a few minutes more, Gene finally ripped the pages free of the typewriter, finished scribbling on them, and without looking at Justman, reached up and handed them to him. Without saying anything, Justman jumped down and went to the set. This became a standard routine through the 1st and 2nd seasons of the show. Whenever Gene was still writing, Justman would jump up on his desk and wait for the pages. But there’s a little addendum to this story. There came a time when Justman tried to get in Gene’s office and the door was locked. He realized that there was an electronic latch on the door that, when Justman entered the outer office, Gene’s secretary would activate. Not to be out done, Justman waited until the secretary left on an errand. Found the switch and unlocked Gene’s door. Then without saying a word, he entered Roddenberry’s office, walked past Gene who was busy writing, and exited through another door at the other end of the office. Justman wrote, “We never discussed it, not even in later years. It was our own private joke and it helped cement an already close friendship.” The 2nd year of Star Trek was by far its best. It’s when all the right people were active in the right positions. Speaking of positions, Justman told Roddenberry at this time that he wanted to move up to a full producer’s position for Star Trek’s third season, and Gene agreed it was probably time. With the letter writing campaign at the end of the 2nd year, Star Trek’s third season was guaranteed. But it wasn’t going to go the way anyone thought it would. NBC first told Roddenberry that Star Trek would be on at 7:30 on Monday. Then it changed the position to Friday at 8:30. But, it finally settled on Fridays at 10pm, a time when Star Trek’s core audience would not be home watching TV. It was this move by NBC that prompted Roddenberry to move out of his producer role and become the Executive Producer of the show. That position is further up the chain of command, and has nothing to do with the day-to-day operations. Roddenberry had, in effect, quit Star Trek. As pre-production for the third season began, the show had no story editor. So Justman jumped in and started reading and analyzing stories and scripts. Then he would forward his thoughts to Gene. Roddenberry never responded and seldom read Justman’s reports. To make matters worse, there was no one to rewrite scripts. Justman urged Roddenberry to hire someone. Gene finally got back to him and said, “Good news Bob, Star Trek’s going to have a new producer this year.” Justman thought gene was about to say, “It’s you.” Instead, Roddenberry said, “Fred Freiberger’s coming in as our new producer…” Hustman was stunned. “Gene, I thought I would be producer.” “You will,” said Roddenberry. “You’ll be a co-producer.” The new studio, Paramount, and NBC wanted an experienced hand at the help of such a complicated show. Justman was viewed as a nuts and bolts guy, and Roddenberry didn’t fight for him. Justman’s attitude toward Star Trek never recovered. In fact the morale of the entire cast and crew began to sink. Star Trek was not a fun place to work anymore. Gene was now gone. Frieberger had to labor to understand the show. And the bulk of the daily chores fell on Justman. He later wrote, “I was alone, struggling against insuperable odds.” Without Roddenberry, the writing process was no longer about good stories. It was now just budget-driven. Justman wrote, “There were no highs and no lows---just a boring in-between…The Star Trek I knew, and was proud to be a part of, was no more.” He expressed his concerns to paramount’s head of TV, Doug Cramer. Cramer asked Justman to stay and promised him his pick of future pilots to work on if he did. Justman said he’s love to do a pilot for Cramer, but he wanted out of his contract. Paramount came back and offered more money, but that wasn’t what Justman wanted. Justman was burned out. That’s when Herb Solow called. He was now the head of MGM Television and he offered Justman a full producers job on the pilot for “Then Came Bronson.” He quit Paramount the next day and, according his own words, became persona non grata at Paramount for the next 18 years. After Star Trek, Justman went on to work on shows like Search and Man from Atlantis. In 1987, he rejoined Gene Roddenberry and others from The Original Series on Star Trek The Next Generation. He served as Supervising Producer for 17 episodes in the first season. In 1996, he and Herb Solow published their book, Inside Star Trek: The Real Story. If you haven’t read this one, it is a very captivating look at what was going on behind the scenes at Star Trek. Bob Justman died of Parkinson’s Disease in 2008.
