To remind us that civilizational alliances are not merely transactional, Robert Edsel tells personal World War II stories from the rural province of Limburg.  Before dawn on May 10, 1940, Hitler's forces invaded the Netherlands, shattering more than 100 years of peace. The Dutch lived through four-and-a-half years of occupation until September 1944, when American forces reached Limburg—the last portion of Europe west of Germany to be liberated by the Allies. Edsel follows 12 main characters over a six-year span, including Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole, the first member of the 101st Airborne to receive the Medal of Honor; Sergeant Jeff Wiggins of the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, who escaped the poverty and racism of Alabama just to face more indignities; and Frieda van Schäik, a teenager who fell in love with an American soldier.  Drawing on letters, diaries, and other historical records, Edsel shows the painful price of freedom, capturing both the horrors of war and the transcendent power of gratitude by revealing the extraordinary measures the Dutch have taken to thank their liberators.

Remember Us, by Robert Edsel-#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men (which was turned into a blockbuster film with an all-star cast including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett) -begins in the pre-dawn hours of Hitler's invasion of Western Europe on May 10, 1940, when his forces rolled into the small rural province of Limburg in the Netherlands shattering more than 100 years of peace. Their freedom gone, the Dutch lived through four-and-a-half years of occupation until American forces reached Limburg in September 1944, the last portion of Western Europe liberated by the Allies before their advance on Nazi Germany slammed to a halt.Like The Monuments Men, Remember Us is an ensemble piece that follows twelve main characters over a six-year span, zeroing in on ordinary people including Frieda van Schäik, a teenager who falls in love with an American soldier; Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole, the first member of the 101st Airborne to receive the Medal of Honor; and Sergeant Jeff Wiggins of the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, who escaped the poverty and racism of Alabama for yet another indignity-digging graves.Drawing on never-before-seen letters, diaries, and other historical records, Edsel shows the painful price of freedom, on the battlefields and inside American homes. In this rich, dramatic, and suspenseful story, he captures both the horrors of war and the transcendent power of gratitude, showing the extraordinary measures the Dutch have taken to thank their liberators. Remember Us is exactly the book we need-a reminder that grief is universal, that humanity knows no national or racial boundaries, and that we all want to be remembered, somehow, someway, by somebody.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In episode two the girls cover the shockwave story of Motortrend Studios closing and share a little bit about what that actually means.  Review a YouTube video entitled “Worst automotive flops of all time”. It brings out the worst in show with an absolute flop of a Cadillac and perhaps another not so deserving nominee.  We dip in to the mail bag hot on the heels of episode 1. Emily's story about 9/10 of a gallon struck a chord with one listener.

In university, Edsel studied econ, His path to privacy, we will speak on. Edsel has had jobs of every sort, Including law clerk for the Philippine Supreme Court!

¿Se puede odiar a un coche? Seguro que para ti o para mí, verdaderos “enfermos” de todo lo que tenga 4 ruedas y motor, es imposible. ¡Pero!... depende. Hay coches que realmente se han ganado el odio de sus propietarios y-o de los aficionados por diversos motivos… vamos a verlos. ¿Qué motivos hay para odiar a un coche? Esta es la clave del asunto. Y vamos a ver estos motivos. Primero, la estética. Y es que hay coches feos, muy feos. Cierto que los ha habido muy rupturistas, demasiado innovadores o arriesgados. Pero no, no hablo de estos, hablo de los que son feos con ganas Segundo, que sean una propuesta absurda. Os lo explico con un ejemplo, ya que hemos hablado de SUV. Aunque, como decía mi madre, “a la fuerza ahorcan” y ya comienzo a ver los SUV con otros ojos, trato de ponerme en los ojos de sus compradores… dese luego no son mis coches favoritos. Pero, sinceramente, un SUV Coupé me parece una tontería, con las desventajas de un SUV y de un Coupé. Pero, ¿hay algo más estúpido que un SUV descapotable? Lo habrá, pero… no se me ocurre. Tercero, coches que no van bien, que no están bien resueltos. Ni son prácticos ni agradables de conducir o gastan mucho o pesan demasiado… ¡o todo al mismo tiempo! Cuarto y quizás el más importante: Una clamorosa falta de fiabilidad. Un coche que te deja tirado, que hay que llevar al taller cada dos por tres y dejarte un dinero… a ese coche lo acabas odiando. Yo tuve un coche fantástico… pero al que llegué a tener manía por esto (CONTAR Mitsubishi Grandis). Como os digo siempre, todos estos motivos pueden ir juntos o por separado, no son excluyentes unos de otros. Tras investigar un poco, hacer una criba y armarme de argumentos, me he dado cuenta de una cosa: La mayoría de los coches elegidos son “Made in USA”. ¿Casualidad? ¿Injusticia? Pues no, es lógico. Y no es peyorativo. Y tiene su explicación. Los norteamericanos son de otra pasta y valoro mucho en ellos que no temen el fracaso. Son grandes emprendedores y para ellos eso de que “se aprende más de los fracasos que de los éxitos” no es solo una frase hecha, es una forma de entender la vida. Y los fabricantes norteamericanos en ocasiones arriesgan más y hacen propuestas más locas que los europeos o japoneses. Vamos con estos 12+1 coches que puedes llegar a odiar. 1. Chrysler PT Cruiser (1999). No era barato. Gastaba mucho combustible. No contaba con un acabado de calidad. Tampoco iba especialmente bien… y ese estilo “moderno-clásico-barroco” no gustó. Pese a todo se fabricaron 1.8 millones de unidades… que costo vender. 2. Chrysler Sebring Cabrio (1996). Pude probar el 2.0 16v LX, que se supone que daba 163 CV… se supone. No estaba bien acabado y le sonaba todo. En los USA había foros con cientos de entradas de clientes quejándose del coche… 3. Dodge Omni (1977). Otros experimentos de adaptar diseños europeos al mercado americano habían fracasado, pero los de Chrysler pensaron: “Nosotros lo haremos bien”. Pues no. El coche tenía una calidad muy baja, a sus propietarios les parecía peligroso y daba mucho problemas…. Y bonito, lo que se dice bonito, no es. 4. Kia Opirus (2003). Los de Kia pensaron “vamos a hacer un coche que sea como un Mercedes-Benz, pero muy barato”. A ver, muy barato era… pero ¿cómo un Mercedes? 5. Edsel (1958). Os doy algunos datos: Solo se fabricó tres años de 1958 a 1960, supuso unas pérdidas de 250 millones de dólares, casi arruina a la marca y apenas se fabricaron 116.000 unidades… ¡muuuucho menos de lo previsto! El motor daba problemas, el coche no tenía calidad, a los compradores les parecía muy feo… y ahora… ¡se cotiza muchísimo! Se calcula que han sobrevivido apenas 7.000 unidades. 6. GM Impact (1996). El coche no corría nada y aunque anunciaba una autonomía de 113 km en la primera versión y hasta 257 km en las últimas… adivinad… (silencio)… la autonomía real apenas superaba la mitad… GM recompro todas las unidades y las destruyó. GM dijo que “había matado” al coche eléctrico… ya veis que no. 7. Hummer H2 (2002). Un derivado civilizado del primigenio H1 pensado para el ejército. Pero poco civilizado. A pesar de su enorme tamaño no tenía buena habitabilidad, era enorme, pesado, corría poco y gastaba mucho. Como leí en un diario norteamericano: “Quién compró uno, acabo odiándolo”. 8. Nissan Cube (1998). Como me dijo un periodista británico amigo mío cuando lo probó: “Es odioso. No me gusta como va. Y es horrible. Llevaba gorra y capucha cuando lo conducía no fuera que alguien me reconociese…” Nada más que añadir. 9. Nissan Murano Cross Convertible (2011). Sinceramente… mirad este coche… ¿es feo o no es feo? Sinceramente, más que feo es como desproporcionado. ¡A quién narices se le ocurrió la “brillante”, con muchas comillas, idea, de hacer un SUV descapotable! 10. Perodua Myvi (2005). Os he traído esta rareza fabricada en Malaysia… que intentaron vender fuera de su país a precios muy ventajosos. Lo que pasa es que el coche, no lo puedo decir de otra manera, era malo con ganas, ni corría, ni era agradable de conducir ni cumplía unos mínimos de seguridad. Los compradores, al poco de comprarlo, lo odiaban e intentaban venderlos… pero no los quería nadie… y lo odiaban más. 11. Pontiac Aztek (2001). Este coche es un “fijo” en las listas de coches feos y-o malos, que no son adjetivos excluyentes. Lo cierto es que de algún modo consiguieron su objetivo. 12. Range Rover Evoque Cabrio (2016). Alguien en Range tuvo una brillante idea. Ya que Nissan ha hecho un SUV descapotable, y se ha dado un bofetón de narices, ¿Por qué no hacemos lo mismo? Lo hicieron, lanzar un SUV descapotable y darse un bofetón. 12+1. Studebaker Wagonaire (1963). En este coche cuando llovía, te mojabas, la estanqueidad del techo no es que fuese mala, era inexistente.. un desastre. Y los propietarios acabaron odiándolo, porque este problema nunca tuvo una buena solución. Conclusión. No voy a contradecir a mi querido y tristemente desaparecido amigo Ramón Roca cuando decía aquello de “todos los coches van al cielo”. Pero estos pobres tendrán que pasar por el purgatorio… ellos no tienen la culpa de ser como son…

What seemed like good ideas at the time to motor moguls in Detroit and other car capitals sometimes turned out to be star-crossed cars that were so unpopular, they have become infamous legends in their own right. It wasn't just the Edsel or Yugo either. Many famous brands have suffered in the marketplace as the result of wayward imagination and misbegotten technology. Karl Petry, classic car and auto industry aficionado, is our guest and he has numerous examples to share. Oh, the inanity!

When Elliott Weiner & Pat McNulty come in to do the show you know it's time for their annual collaboration car show between the T-Bird and Mustang clubs. It's all about "the baby Birds" and "the big birds" when these guys get together, but it's always a show that will delight and make even a non-Ford guy smile. The guys covered the history of the show, plus talked about a rare Edsel. Ray dropped a parts question on the guys concerning a 67 T-Bird that's coming into the shop this week for a make-over.

Send us a Text Message.TGTPTU Book Club returns this week with Sir Christopher Nolan's first and only adaption, i.e., THE PRESTIGE (2006), with bookworm and repeat guest Shannon joining from The Bunker.   Post-Batman Begins, Sir Nolan returned to his love of puzzle-box stories to bring to life the work of another Chris (Christopher Priest) while casting a third Chris (Christian Bale) as a rival magician to a non-Chris (Hugh Jackman) to make one of top three magician rivalry movies wide-released in 2006.   Sir Nolan omits the present-day framing story around Priest's novel to focus on the period and the rivalry between magicians Angier (Jackman) and Borden (Bale) as the former seeks revenge on the latter for his wife's death (yes, it's another rare Nolan movie with a dead wife but you actually get two dead ladies—BOGO (Bury One, Get One)—for your money ). Keeping with the novel, each magician has a secret that allows him to perform a teleported man trick, with Borden's secret seeming to be the anticipated, singular trick of the movie until the rug-pull at the end when the Great Sir C. Nolan the Magnificent abracadabras Angier's clone-killing conclusion for a prestige of his own .  Uncontroversially, Scarlett Johansson is poorly used as the rivalling magicians' assistants while David Bowie gets one of the best entrances in cinema history portraying Nicholas Tesla, a man with his own bitter professional rivalry and a last name that is impossible to say 18 years after this movie premiered without thinking of the car, much like what once beset my great-grandmother Edsel and our uncle PT “Cruiser” Koral.  Listen along as Jason Statham pops in, award-winning thespian Michael Caine is put on blast by our special guest, and the hosts break down why this might be the most “Nolan-y” Nolan film Sir Chris has made.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

So many car brands have come and gone over the ages, with some dying during our lifetimes. Edsel, DeLorean, Scion, and more have all shuffled off this mortal coil. But which one was the best? How would we bring back them back today? And which one of these defunct brands did Steve have a direct hand in killing? That's this week on Best in Class. 

Dan Stoner, Hemmings Creative Director, is no stranger to project cars. From his Stoner-T with its blown HEMI, to a killer little T-bucket, a flat bottom drag boat, and of all things, an Edsel, some would say that Mr. Stoner is indeed, and automotive masochist. Case in point, a 1952 Henry J that once belonged to his dad, and that Dan has now taken under his wing for a restoration and rebirth if you will - but here's the thing, the car hasn't been on the road since 1967. Originally purchased by his father back in the late 1950s, it was used as a daily driver for some time. It then went to a family member, until after years of use the little Henry J was put out to pasture in the family barn until Dan rescued it and shipped it to California. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ, Dan Stoner sits down with host Mike Musto to tell us what's in store for the Henry J that's been in his family for almost 70 years.

Taking the space of Lincoln's discontinued MKC, the Lincoln Corsair works as an entry point into Ford's legacy luxury arm. While the Corsair name was used as a highly-optioned Edsel, and as a sedan in other markets, Lincoln's bite at the Corsair apple helps build on both the marques and the nameplates legacy. As part of the company's push to do away with its Mark naming conventions, the Lincoln Corsair helps the company navigate the high seas of the luxury compact crossover market. Giving this reborn compact crossover a full name might help with brand appeal down the line, but it also helps separate the similarly navigation-themed products from each other in Lincoln's lineup. While a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 powers the entry-level Corsair Premier and Reserve models, sitting atop the Corsair hierarchy is the plug-in hybrid Grand Touring model. This PHEV blends a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle I4 with a CVT and an electric motor to net 266 hp combined. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Lincoln Corsair and puts it through its paces. Murphy takes you on a guided tour of the Corsair and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Murphy takes you along for a live drive review of the Lincoln Corsair Ground Touring. Adding to these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the Lincoln Corsair, its competition, and its spot in the market. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the Lincoln Corsair special.

Hemos hecho varios podcast en los que hablamos de la apasionante historia de un coche extraordinario: El Ford GT40. Pero sí crees que lo hemos contado todo… es que no conoces la revista CEROaCIEN. Tras leer el extenso artículo dedicado al GT40 me pareció que este video era, sencillamente, IMPRESCINDIBLE. Además hay “Bonus-track” y sorpresa en el “Coche del día”. Confieso que me he divertido elaborando este guion como pocas veces lo hago. Y confieso que me ha costado quedarme en 10+1 curiosidades de este coche, algunas de las cuales, estoy seguro, te van a sorprender. Me gustan tanto que las tengo enmarcadas a la entrada de mi casa. Aunque tengo un problema: O amplio o cambio una, porque el Ford GT40 número 1 de esta entrega es bonito a rabiar… ya lo estáis viendo. Ford vs. Ferrari. Esta historia ya la conocéis y si no hay varios vídeos nuestros que la cuenta y tenéis la película “Contra lo imposible”, muy recomendable. Pero, por si hay “rezagados”, la voy a recordar en breve. Ford quería hacer coches deportivos pero vieron lo que tenían y pensaron que era mejor comprar una marca que ya hiciese coches deportivos que diseñarlos ellos mismos. Ferrari atravesaba un delicado momento económico y las piezas parecían encajar: Enzo se mostró interesado y comenzaron unas negociaciones que avanzaron rápido, porque todos sabemos que a Ferrari lo que le gustaban eran las carreras… bueno, más bien ganar carreras. Fue por esto que ahora lo contaremos, por lo que el acuerdo no se cerró. Y lo que pasó en esas negociaciones enfureció a Henry Ford II, nieto de Ford, que clamó venganza: Vencer a Ferrari en “su” casa, que eran las 24 horas de Le Mans. Desde 1960 Ferrari ganó 6 veces consecutivas Le Mans…y Ford quería acabar con esto… y lo consiguió. Esta historia la conoces, pero a ver si conoces lo que te vamos a contar. 1. Edsel, la semilla de GT40. El hijo de Henry Ford, del primigenio, se llamaba Edsel. Y “papá” más o menos dejó que su hijo diseñase un coche. Es una licencia narrativa, no fue exactamente así, pero el Edsel era una especie de homenaje a su hijo… y fue un rotundo fracaso. ¿Era o porque el coche era malo? La verdad, sí, pero no solo eso. En 1962 la economía de los EE.UU. de Norteamérica iba viento en popa. Los hijos del llamado “Baby Boom” fruto del fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial eran mayorcitos y tenían dinero. Por primera vez era más importante el público joven que apreciaba el dinamismo, la deportividad y el rendimiento de los coches, que el público madura, que buscaba comodidad y fiabilidad, las dos virtudes claves de Ford. Y para salir de esta crisis decidieron que Ford necesitaba modelos deportivos… fruto de esta decisión nace primero el Ford Mustang y luego el GT40. 2. “No puedes compararte con tu abuelo”. Cuando Enzo Ferrari se dio cuenta de que Ford quería contralarlo todo, incluidas las carreras, se enfureció. Dijo que jamás vendería se empresa a una marca que “hace coches tan feos en una fábrica tan fea”. Y como colofón le envió un “mensajito” a Henry Ford II: “No puedes compararte con tu abuelo”. En ese momento un tema empresarial pasó a ser un tema personal. 3. Lola, la base. La marca Lola, de pequeño me encantaba porque me hacía gracia que una marca americana se llamase como la cantante más popular de España en esa época, Lola Flores (¡pon foto!). Pero Eric Broadley era bueno haciendo coches de carreras y diseñó el MK6, un diseño brillante, con potencial, pero en un equipo sin recursos. Ford tenía el problema opuesto: Tenía recursos, pero no tenía un buen diseño. Así que Ford se hizo cargo de este modelo, que acabó siendo la base del GT40. 4. ¡Con aire acondicionado! No olvidemos que el objetivo eran las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Y el cansancio del piloto podía influir mucho. Lo cierto es que el Lola era bueno como coche de carreras y muy bueno como sauna… ¡Era un horno! Y ¿Cómo lo solucionarlo? Pues con unas tomas de aire que desde el frontal del coche llevaba aire a los asientos, un aire que salía por los agujeros de la tapicería… muy ingenioso. Pero no fue la única idea ingeniosa… 5. Asiento fijo. Para reforzar el chasis decidieron que los asientos fueran fijos y formasen parte del chasis… . Y seguro que alguien dijo: “bien, buena idea, chicos, pero ¿y si un piloto es más bajito que otro? Pues en vez de mover el asiento, se movían los pedales y el volante adelante y hacia atrás. Otra idea ingeniosa. 6. Sin pruebas previas. La aventura de fabricar el GT40 arranca en 1963 y el 1 de abril de 1964 se acaba el primer prototipo. Diez días después el segundo. Y sin test previos de ningún tipo, porque había prisas, decidieron irse a Le Mans. ¿El resultado? Un accidente a 240 km/h en la recta de la Mulsanne y otro accidente menos grave. No hicieron caso de lo que decía mi madre “vísteme despacio que tengo prisa”. 7. Siete de siete. Tras revisar el coche de arriba abajo, decidieron volver a la acción en 1964 cuando el coche se mostró rápido… y muy frágil. Participaron con al menos dos coches en 7 carreras y rompieron… en las 7 carreras… El señor Henry Ford II se impacientaba. Por eso recurrieron a Carrol Shelby. 8. GT 40 descapotable. Descapotable… y diseño McLaren. Uno de los problemas del GT40 era su peso. El coche se diseñó desde el principio para ser robusto y fiable y en esa línea el chasis de tubos de acero estaba reforzado con planchas de acero. Todo muy rígido… y muy pesado. Howden Ganley, ingeniero de McLaren, desarrolló un chasis de aluminio que aligeraba considerablemente el peso del coche. Para decepción de McLaren este modelo sin techo fue entregado a “Shelby American” que condenó al modelo a coche de pruebas. 9. Comité Le Mans. Este es muy americano: Si quieres hacer algo en una empresa americana, lo primero es que hagas un comité. Y eso es lo que hizo Ford, crear el “Comité Le Mans” con representantes de todas las divisiones de Ford involucradas, desde “motor y fundición” a “Estilismo e ingeniería” sin olvidar “Piezas Generales” o “Motorsport”. A este comité se incorporó, como no podía ser de otra manera, a Shelby American y el equipo NASCAR de Ford, “Holman & Moody”. 10. Lamentable montaje. Esto que os voy a contar reconozco que no lo sabía. Cuando los Ford GT40 llegaron a las instalaciones de “Shelby American” los probaron y les pareció que iban horriblemente mal. El propio Ken Milles, el “prota” de la “peli” Contra lo imposible, estaba sorprendido: No entendía porque un diseño que parecía bueno iba tan mal.

Nov. 19, 2023 ~ Host Dave Lorenz explores the festive Michigan activities and events occurring around the holiday season, including From Michigan, With Love online gift shopping, Detroit's Oak & Reel restaurant, Edsel and Eleanor's Ford House, and America's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Downtown Detroit.

"Farewell to Edsel: A Mosaic of Memories as the Curtain Falls"In the quiet corridors of automotive history, a chapter comes to a close as we bid a poignant farewell to Edsel, the once-bold venture that dared to dream in hues of innovation and elegance. Like a vibrant mural fading with time, the final strokes of Edsel's narrative evoke a spectrum of emotions, from nostalgia to a tinge of melancholy.As the sun sets on this automotive icon, we are reminded of the kaleidoscope of aspirations that painted its inception. Named after Edsel Ford, the son of the legendary Henry Ford, the brand emerged in the late 1950s with a promise to redefine the driving experience. From the outset, Edsel was conceived as an embodiment of American optimism, with sleek designs and cutting-edge features destined to captivate the hearts of a burgeoning post-war society.Picture the showroom floors, once aglow with the radiant sheen of chrome and the lustrous curves of Edsel's signature grille. Rows of cars, each a canvas of craftsmanship, stood poised to embark on a journey through the colorful tapestry of American roads. The distinct vertical grille, affectionately dubbed the "horse collar," reflected a bold departure from the conventional, a testament to Edsel's audacious spirit.Alas, as the years unfolded, the automotive landscape shifted, and Edsel found itself navigating a labyrinth of challenges. Market dynamics, unforeseen obstacles, and perhaps an overzealous ambition to stand out in a sea of rivals all played a part in the eventual decline. The automotive ballet once choreographed with precision, stumbled into a melancholic pas de deux.The news of Edsel's closure, like a sudden gust extinguishing the flames of a once-brilliant fire, left enthusiasts and nostalgists in a quiet reflection. Each model, from the Pacer to the Corsair, had etched its mark in the annals of automotive design. The Edsel Citation, a symbol of elegance, and the Edsel Ranger, a paragon of reliability, both found themselves stranded in the realm of automotive history.Walking through the remnants of Edsel dealerships now echoes of a bygone era, one can almost hear the whispers of conversations that once animated these spaces. Salesmen extolling the virtues of a sleek convertible, families debating the merits of each model, and the hum of engines awakening a sense of anticipation—all now linger like spectral imprints on the showroom floor.Yet, as we mourn the sunset of Edsel, we must also celebrate the indelible mark it left on the automotive canvas. In its brief existence, Edsel dared to dream in Technicolor, introducing innovations that would eventually influence the industry. The iconic teletouch transmission, a futuristic touch-button gear selector, was a testament to Edsel's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive technology.As we bid adieu to Edsel, let us remember it not as a failure, but as a symphony that, for a fleeting moment, played a unique melody in the grand opera of automotive history. The curtain falls, but the resonance of Edsel's colorful overture will forever echo in the collective memory of those who marveled at its brilliance.

Chicago's Otherworld Theater Company is America's only non-profit theatre dedicated exclusively to exploring the genres of science-fiction and fantasy (and occasionally horror). Otherworld's Dylan Schaefer talks about Starship Edsel, the fortnightly improvised Star Trek parody (created by Brandon Brylawski) that combines improv, satire, LARPing, and classic nerdery. Dylan reveals how Star Trek led to his life in the theatre; how Otherworld creates an ecosystem for multiple universes; how Star Trek is in its second golden (or possibly silver) age; how theatre as an art form doesn't lean into sci-fi/fantasy as much as it should; a special guest appearance by a genuine starship captain; where you can watch Starship Edsel online; and how the Edsel preceded the USS Cerritos as the worst ship in the fleet.
