Reuploaded with non-copyrighted music!Celebrating 40 years of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.Shortly after Star Trek III: The Search for Spock came out, Paramount wanted to lock down Leonard Nimoy to direct its sequel. They wanted his vision this time unlike the last film, and after an original script that included Eddie Murphy and the Klingon bird-of-prey decloaking at the Super Bowl was scrapped, the film was finally ready to go to be released. Originally planned for a December 12, 1986, release, Paramount moved it to Thanksgiving due to great test screenings. The film made $109 million - the highest grossing film for nearly 25 years for the Star Trek franchise until the 2009 reboot (since surpassed by 2013's Into Darkness).In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, Wes kicks off the podcast's Second Star Trek Film Extravaganza with his guest Chris (aka MemeSpaceNine) to talk about The Voyage Home.Any feedback you have can be submitted to the Facebook page (facebook.com/TCTrekkiesPod), or by emailing them at tctrekkiespodcast@gmail.com.

Authors John and Maria Jose Tenuto return to The Trek Files to share a seemingly ordinary filming notice distributed to guests at the Monterey Bay Aquarium during production of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. But for John, it's much more than a production handout, it's a family keepsake. In April 1986, John's parents unknowingly visited the aquarium on a day when Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, and the Star Trek IV cast were filming. They saved the notice, recorded the production on a home VHS camcorder, and brought home an extraordinary piece of behind-the-scenes history. Decades later, that footage and flyer helped document one of the franchise's most beloved films. Larry, John, and Mary Jo explore the logistics of filming at a working public aquarium, Leonard Nimoy's commitment to the film's environmental message, and how a family vacation unexpectedly became part of Star Trek history.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Trek First Contact. Made to celebrate Star Trek's 30th anniversary, Star Trek First Contact marked the first time we saw the Borg on the silver screen, and for the third cast member of a Star Trek series to direct a Star Trek motion picture following Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner. Plus, elements from this film would influence the 2003 episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, and quite potentially the design aesthetic from that point onward. In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which marks the fourth (of six) part of the podcast's Second Star Trek Film Extravaganza, Wes welcomes Synthgirl to the podcast to talk about the film, and other Star Trek-related opinions.

Part Two of the Sasquatch Unleashed picks the historical trail right back up, and the encounters only get stranger. I take you to a cabin near Mount St. Helens in nineteen twenty-four, where five miners spent a night under a hail of stones from what they swore were apemen, the story that gave Ape Canyon its name.I walk through Albert Ostman's claim that a family of these creatures carried him off in the British Columbia backcountry and held him for six days. I read you William Roe's sworn affidavit, word for word, about the day he watched a creature strip leaves from a branch with its teeth and couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger.And I share the Ruby Creek incident, where a family came home to a fifty-five-gallon barrel of salted fish torn open and flung across the yard, told through Ivan Sanderson's own account of sitting down with them years later. From there I turn the lens away from the deep woods and onto our living rooms. I trace how Bigfoot went from a figure of dread to a household name, from Leonard Nimoy and In Search Of, to the robot Bigfoot on The Six Million Dollar Man, to the gentle giant of Harry and the Hendersons, and on to Finding Bigfoot and a parade of beer commercials and mattress ads. Then I ask a harder question that I've wrestled with for years. Has all that pop-culture saturation actually driven the number of reported sightings up?I get honest about the power of suggestion, the way memory bends, and how the very shows that spread the word can also shape what people think they saw.And then we get into the ugly side of this whole thing. The hoaxes. I lay out the Ray Wallace wooden-stomper story and why it doesn't hold up as the explanation for everything, and the spectacular collapse of the Rick Dyer Georgia hoax, the freezer, the rubber suit, and the whole circus around it. I dig into why people fake this stuff in the first place, from attention and pranks to money, belonging, the thrill of the con, and the darker pull of narcissism.Because if we're ever going to find the truth out there, we have to be willing to name the fakes for what they areEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

This year marks the 60th anniversary of “Star Trek.” Filmmaker and actor Adam Nimoy not only watched the show, but he went on set when he was a kid. That's because his father, Leonard Nimoy, played Spock. The half-human, half-alien science officer came from a culture that put logic above emotion. Leonard Nimoy once said he was so immersed in the character that sometimes he couldn't turn it off at home. This led to friction in Mr. Nimoy's and his son Adam's relationship. Adam Nimoy reflects on this in his new memoir, “The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy.” He spoke with KALW's Jenee Darden on “The Sights + Sounds Show.” Here's an excerpt from their conversation.
Cybersecurity isn't just a concern for the largest corporations, it has local impacts too. Today, what adding AI does to changing cybersecurity risks. Then, in his new memoir, Adam Nimoy explores his relationship with his dad, iconic Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy. And, the many anthems that represent America.

Before there was streaming Trek or "immersive experiences," there was something almost unbelievable: an officially licensed Star Trek stage play in London in 1994. This week on The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek welcomes actor Adrian Cohen (credited at the time as Adrian Neil), who played Mr. Spock in the ambitious theatrical production mounted during the height of the Star Trek: The Next Generation era. Using a clipping from the London Evening Standard as the document of the week, Adrian recounts the surreal experience of stepping onto a full-scale Enterprise bridge in front of packed houses of passionate British Trek fans. What began as a skeptical audition ("I can't play Spock!") quickly evolved into a whirlwind production featuring transporter effects, Klingons, time travel, elaborate costume changes, and even an Enterprise flying out over the audience. Adrian and Larry explore how producer John Gore approached the material with both reverence and playful theatricality, creating something that celebrated Star Trek rather than parodying it. Along the way, Adrian shares memories of discovering just how intense Trek fandom could be, the pressure of channeling Leonard Nimoy's iconic presence, and the unexpectedly emotional reaction from audiences seeing Star Trek brought to life on stage for the very first time. This week, The Trek Files points a spotlight at a little-known corner of improbable yet completely inevitable Trek history.

When Three Men and a Baby opened on 25th November 1987, few could have predicted that a low-budget remake of a French comedy, shot in Toronto, starring two television actors, a comedy star and a baby girl, would become the highest-grossing film of the year in the US and a genuine turning point in Hollywood history. Yet that is precisely what it did.The film arrived at a specific cultural inflection point. More women were entering the workforce, the feminist movement was reshaping assumptions about domestic labour, and the recession of the early eighties had nudged more fathers into caregiving roles. Against that backdrop, watching Tom Selleck's broad-shouldered leading man coo helplessly over a baby carried real comic charge, and tapped into something the culture was quietly working through: what modern fatherhood might actually look like.But the film's off-screen legacy is arguably more significant than anything on it. Disney in 1983 had nearly gone bankrupt on the catastrophic failure of The Black Cauldron. The creation of Touchstone Pictures and its low-budget, high-concept adult comedies was the rescue plan. Three Men and a Baby was its greatest proof of concept: the studio's first ever $100 million domestic grosser, crowning Disney as the number one studio in Hollywood by the end of 1987. The revenue that film and its Touchstone stablemates generated bought the animation department enough time, talent, and resources to complete The Little Mermaid two years later, and triggered the Disney Renaissance.A film about three hapless bachelors and an abandoned baby, made cheaply and quietly in Canada, may be one of the most consequential comedies Hollywood ever produced.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

This week's Inbox of Oddities is packed with nightmare fuel, Viking poop lore, haunted farmhouse crawlspaces, ghost geese, forbidden islands, creepy imaginary friends, and one truly alarming email titled “Wombat Geometry.” Yes. Really. Kat and Jethro dive into listener stories that range from hilariously bizarre to deeply unsettling — including children hearing crying inside walls, mysterious cigarette smoke lingering in a 200-year-old farmhouse, and the psychological differences between fearing heights, edges, and falling. Along the way, they discuss Niʻihau, Hawaii's mysterious “Forbidden Island,” Leonard Nimoy's classic In Search Of, escalator phobias, Viking digestive disasters, and whether ghost geese should properly be called “poltergeese” or “poultrygeists.” Plus: The world's largest fossilized human turd A box full of detached Roman statue dicks Spam emails about cube-shaped wombat poop Strange things kids say that absolutely should not be repeated after dark Cat's mission to rescue dogs from Ecuador The Freak Family once again proving they're the greatest community on earth If you like creepy listener stories, weird history, paranormal oddities, dark humor, and the kind of conversations that spiral from Viking bowel movements to haunted walls in under three minutes, this episode is your happy place. #BoxOfOddities #InboxOfOddities #ParanormalPodcast #WeirdHistory #GhostStories #LeonardNimoy #Niihau #ForbiddenIsland #WombatGeometry #VikingHistory #TrueWeird #FreakFamily Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when a video game stops playing by the rules? Doug and returning guest Noah (Gunchpot) go deep on the most creative, bizarre, and genuinely brilliant video game mechanics ever designed — from games that fake-crash your console to math games that secretly turn into space jail simulators. Games covered include Shenmue (the 1999 Dreamcast game that made boredom part of the experience by giving you an actual forklift job), Seaman (raise a fish with a human face that insults you, narrated by Leonard Nimoy), Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (the GameCube horror game that fake-deleted your save file and muted your TV on purpose), Metal Gear Solid (Psycho Mantis reads your memory card and comments on your other games), Facade (a 2005 AI couples therapy simulator where typing the word "melon" gets you thrown out of the apartment), Frog Fractions (a browser math game that secretly turns into a completely different game — then hid its sequel inside an entirely separate game for years), Doki Doki Literature Club (the anime dating sim that deletes characters from your hard drive as part of its horror), Disco Elysium (where your skills literally argue with you and you can fail a check just trying to get out of bed), and WarioWare (five-second micro games with one-word instructions and zero hand-holding). Plus: QWOP, Baby Steps, Superhot VR, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, I Am Bread, and more. Before all that: Noah is working through 800 of 1,000 movies on his Letterboxd watchlist, watched Ghostbusters and Jurassic Park for the first time this year, and is deep in the David Lynch rabbit hole. Doug's dog Bruno had a very eventful Mother's Day morning involving a rabbit, a shovel, and a crow. Then it's time for The Verdict — the Letterboxd review guessing game. This round covers The Mummy, Devil Wears Prada 2, Nosferatu, Longlegs, Conclave, Barbie, Glass Onion, and Andor. This week's recommendations: Noah: Casino Royale. One of the best action films ever made, full stop. Doug: Potion Seller's debut album Buzzard is out now. Go listen. Brainsynthesizer.com for merch and physical copies.

Back in 1966, a little science fiction show boldly went where no television series had gone before. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, we assembled a pod dedicated to the show that changed TV with its swashbuckling adventure, big ideas, and thoughtful morality tales. We discuss the initial vision for the series and the unforgettable cast who brought it to life — including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, and the rest of that legendary bridge crew. Along the way, we revisit our favorite episodes like “Amok Time” and “The Enemy Within,” and explore why these stories still hold up. We also shout-out parodies and homages to Trek like Galaxy Quest, Free Enterprise, and the chilling Black Mirror episode “USS Callister.” So grab your communicator, set phasers to fun, and join us as we celebrate sixty years of Star Trek: The Original Series! Special guest host: Warren Drummond (Los Angeles-based storyboard artist and author of "A Hard Day's Work.") Special featured guests: RobinTreks, Harley M, and Thomas N. Perkins.
Zo impossibly finds himself on a futuristic space craft ostensibly designed for science and exploration, but for a space craft of peace, the U.S.S.

She will require all of these advantages as her Captain and crew discover and attempt to dismantle a galaxy spanning conspiracy that threaten to plunge the United Federation of Planets into an endless war with the Klingon Empire.
