Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 17: 400 Tonnen Wal, ein beleidigter Spock & klingonischer Gegenwind! Kirk will nur schnell zurück ins 23. Jahrhundert, aber Gillian Taylor denkt sich: schöne Zeitreise, ich komme mit. Also hebt die getarnte Bounty aus dem Golden Gate Park ab, wirbelt Jogger:innen um, sucht Wale auf einer viel zu groben Frequenz und steuert mit fragwürdiger Physik Richtung Beringsee. Ganz normaler Dienstag in San Francisco, nur mit mehr Buckelwal und weniger funktionierender Kausalität. In dieser Folge rechnen wir uns durch Scottys berühmte 400 Tonnen, erklären, warum 401 Megahertz gleichzeitig erstaunlich gut und absolut unbrauchbar ist, schauen auf das Presidio als zukünftigen Sitz der Sternenflotte und erleben McCoy in Höchstform, wenn er Spock mit einem einzigen Satz liebevoll diagnostiziert. Dazu: Transporter-Horror, Full Impulse als atmosphärischer Scheibenvernichter und die Frage, ob Star Trek gerade aus einem alten Militärposten eine Zukunft baut, die endlich etwas gelernt hat.

Alles völlig normal. Klar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die berühmte Parkszene aus Star Trek IV und darüber, wie sie 1986 wahrscheinlich gedreht wurde: also nicht mit heutiger Komfort-CGI, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich mit klassischer optischer Tricktechnik, Bluescreen, Matte-Arbeit und ILM-Zauberei aus der photochemischen Ära. Wir schauen dazu auf ein spannendes Interview mit Kameramann Don Peterman bei der American Society of Cinematographers. Außerdem: – Warum Gillians durchgehender Schrei beim Beamen physikalisch erstaunlich plausibel ist – Warum Beamen trotzdem energetisch kompletter Irrsinn bleibt – Was Metin Tolan dazu sagt – Warum Kirk Gillian „Alice“ nennt – Welche Rolle Alice im Wunderland sonst noch in Star Trek spielt – Warum die Aussage, die Wale seien schon in Alaska, zoologisch eher unter Fantasy fällt – Und was es mit dem Mission District in San Francisco wirklich auf sich hat Mit anderen Worten: Wir reden über Filmtricks, Physik, Lewis Carroll, Buckelwale, Kolonialgeschichte, Murals und ein Krankenhausproblem namens Chekov.

In the second installment of Febwhaleary, we leave behind the fun loving world of Free Willy and venture to the cold climate of Newfoundland to witness the dark side of nature. For not all Orcas share the same sense of fun and need for human companionship like Willy, some…can hold a grudge. For Killer Whales the need for vengeance can be just as strong in Orcas as it can with homosapiens, as one fisherman in the 1970's found out. With rows of razor sharp teeth, designed to tear apart their prey, along with an extensive knowledge of explosives and natural accelerants; one does not wish to be on the bad side of this deadly mammal. For when one fucks around with nature…nature has a way of fucking you back.This…is Orca.I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to serve up a cold plate of vengeance are fellow cinephiles and marine biologists, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include a breakdown of one of the most haunting and traumatic scenes we've ever witnessed on the show to date; Dino De Laurentiis thumbs his nose at Spielberg as he gives us one ocean hell-beast to rule them all; and finally, we analyze the Final Destination-esque methods that the Killer Whale in Orca uses to obtain his vengeance.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Oceana, working to protect endangered species, is at the heart of this powerful episode featuring Tara Brock, an environmental lawyer advocating for ocean life. Tara unpacks how the Endangered Species Act is used to protect humpback whales and sea turtles, and how legal tools like this remain essential to ocean conservation. As threats like ship strikes, climate change, and bycatch continue to rise, Tara explains why this legislation is still one of the strongest protections we have—and how it's enforced. Throughout the episode, we explore Oceana's litigation strategies, real-world wins in protecting marine life, and the ways the law intersects with fisheries, policy, and public engagement. Tara's stories and insights offer a clear call to action: the ocean needs legal defenders, and everyone has a role to play in protecting it.

Humpbacks start appearing as early as mid-fall, but daily sightings don't happen until mid-December. We're practically in the middle of the season so I thought I'd do a podcast about when is whale watching season in Hawaii. The optimal whale watching period in Hawaii extends from mid-February to March when the whales display their most active behavior. Visitors can expect the highest number of sightings between November and May. The most active period to view these magnificent animals takes place between mid-February and March. The best moments to observe whales occur early in the morning and late in the afternoon, since whales breach and surface most often during these times Whale watching in Hawaii in January Best Locations to see Humbacks Maui tops the list as the perfect spot to see humpback whales because of an extraordinary underwater area known as Penguin Banks. The shallow waters southwest of Molokai serve as a breeding area for humpback whales. When is whale watching season in Hawaii journey will be delightfully rewarding when it takes you there. Oahu -Diamond Head offers an excellent viewing area for observing younger whales who display playful behaviors.Photographers frequently choose Makapu'u Point & Ka'iwi Coast to capture whale activity because it indicates whales are close by. The Ala Wai Boat Harbor and Kewalo Basin serve as primary departure points for numerous tour boats which enhances your expedition success rate. Kauai - Poipu Beach combined with Kilauea Lighthouse on Kauai offers excellent opportunities for whale watching from land. Big Island - Visitors to the Big Island can frequently spot humpback whales near the Kohala Coast. Taking Whale Watching Tours Viewing stations near the Makapuu Lighthouse means you can learn about the humpback whales as you look for them. Although you will have multiple opportunities to see whales, when is whale watching season in Hawaii during a tour? There is no certainty you will spot them. Successful whale watching requires both patience and a touch of luck. There are whale-watching tours which use marine radio Channel 14 to share whale locations with other boats to improve your whale sighting opportunities. Whales perform a dramatic act known as breaching when they leap out of the water which creates a truly spectacular sight. Look for misty water spouts emerging from their blowholes during the whale blowing behavior. Whales demonstrate playful behavior by hitting their tails against the water's surface during tail slaps.The majority of boats assist you in whale spotting, yet occasionally they will take you by surprise with sightings of spinner dolphins, pilot whales, or false killer whales. Whale watching from a boat on Maui is a popular way to way to see Whales Tips for the Best Whale Watching Experience Obviously, whales do not follow a schedule so take the time to appreciate your surroundings while you wait for them. Carrying binoculars improves your ability to see whales from far away. Many people forget to enjoy the present because they focus too much on obtaining the ideal photo. Enjoy the experience!Smaller boats deliver intimate whale watching experiences despite big tours being entertaining. Choose a reliable tour operator because companies such as the Pacific Whale Foundation on Maui demonstrate expertise while supporting conservation work. Can You Swim with Humpback Whales? People do actually ask me this and of course it's NO!! If you're lucky enough to be near one while swimming, staying as far away as possible can be dangerous. Humpback whales in Hawaii cannot be swum with as it's against regulations. Approaching these magnificent creatures poses legal risks and physical dangers because they receive protection. Some tours offer the experience of swimming with wild dolphins.

First, Adam welcomes comedian Chad Daniels back to the show to talk about his new Netflix special Empty Nester, as they get into the passive and active trauma their parents passed onto them, how Chad has a dedicated promise to always tell the truth, how peanut butter and its counterparts have become a metaphor for life, and the new complex world of female vibrators. Then, Leah Knauer joins the show as the three discuss being able to know a person by the stickers on the back of their car and Adam's pitch for a gimp mascot for the NFL. Leah reads the news, which includes former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announcing his candidacy for California governor, a humpback whale breaching on & capsizing a fishing boat off the New Hampshire coast, the booming business of AI Boyfriends, and zoo gorillas needing a limit on their screen time. Finally, Adam and Chad Daniels finish out the show by proposing to Leah their approach to applying reasonable gum laws to this country, limiting high capacity gum packs, applying licenses for gum purchases, and making sure you keep your gum protected behind a gum safe.
