Chris and Matt talk of the things going on in the Entertainment arena! May and June 2026 brought box office surprises, streaming mega-mergers, and a couple of franchise casualties. Star Wars stumbles, then gets outdone by YouTubers. The Mandalorian and Grogu opened stronger than expected at $82 million domestic, but still ranks among the weakest live-action Star Wars debuts ever — though its smaller $165 million budget softens that blow. The bigger story came a week later: the film dropped a brutal 70% in its second weekend, landing in third place behind two ultra-low-budget horror hits directed by YouTubers in their 20s (Backrooms and Obsession). Disney's reset attempt, Star Wars: Starfighter starring Ryan Gosling, is locked for May 2027. Media mega-mergers keep landing. The DOJ approved Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery with no conditions attached, merging HBO Max into Paramount+ for a roughly 200-million-subscriber service — though state AG lawsuits could still complicate things, and Paramount has accused Netflix of running a "scorched-earth campaign" to sink the deal. Separately, Fox announced a $22 billion buyout of Roku, folding in Tubi and pairing its networks with Roku's platform and data reach — a move existing Roku owners are none too happy about. Streaming regulation heats up. Canada's CRTC tripled the required Canadian-content spending for Netflix, Apple, and Amazon, from 5% to 15% of Canadian revenue, while lowering traditional broadcasters' requirement to 25%. Meanwhile, a fully AI-generated streaming channel, Artlist TV, launched June 1 to open hostility from filmmakers and viewers alike. Franchise shake-ups. Amazon quietly killed its in-development Stargate series despite an official season order, reportedly over fears it would only appeal to longtime fans. Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has left the show again, alongside Bad Wolf, leaving the BBC without a Christmas Special this year and the franchise "out to tender." On a happier note, Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch got a season 2 renewal before season 1 even finished, after becoming Paramount+'s biggest series launch ever. Reviews were mixed to rough. Toy Story 5 drew praise for finally giving Jessie the spotlight but was knocked as a nostalgia-heavy retread. Supergirl fared worse, criticized for its script and murky VFX, with Jason Momoa's Lobo the one performance critics agreed on. Human interest: Ted Lasso's Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas) signed a real professional soccer contract with El Paso Locomotive FC. And a New Mexico jury awarded $13 million to the family of Star Trek's Nichelle Nichols over hospital negligence in her 2022 death.

At the beginning of Giselle Bailey and Phil Bertelsen's illuminating two-part HBO doc series “Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television,” the directors follow actress Tracee Ellis Ross, one of the leads of the successful sitcom “Black-ish,” to the set of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where she and co-star Anthony Anderson celebrate the show's series finale after 8 seasons. The triumphant ending stands in stark contrast to the way Tracee's prior show, “Girlfriends,” was unceremoniously dropped by the network with no opportunity to shoot a finale. These experiences illustrate the highs and lows that Black Americans have experienced working within an industry that first ignored Blacks altogether and then pushed them to the side whenever it suited the networks' whims.   Giselle and Phil join Ken to discuss the evolution of Black representation on TV, the hard won gains and periodic setbacks for Black creatives and the pathbreaking individuals who have ushered in a new era of Black television. Through the stories and revolutionary acts of Nichelle Nichols, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, the Wayans brothers, Shonda Rhimes, Lena Waithe, Issa Rae, and others, who took big risks by betting on themselves and being true to who they are, “Seen & Heard” shows that Black ownership and creative control are the keys to ensuring that there is no going back.   “Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television” is streaming on HBO Max.   Hidden Gems: Giselle: “Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti”, “Armed Only With a Camera” Phil: “Natchez”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @giselle.bailey and philbhere on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X

Brim, Kim and Mr. Greer are back at it again. Apart from all the usual shenanigans, the gang chats about everything in pop culture with all the trimmings including the very big topic of Bricks & Minifigs that has been consuming the interwebz, and Ariana's split with Ethan Slater. They talk about the Jersey Shore, how the Situation wants to be the NJ Governor, and the passing of James Handy of Top Gun: Maverick. They discuss how the seniors in high school have been playing a game called Senior Assassin, why they are randomly wearing floaties, and end of year senior pranks. The crew also chats about the doggy social media influencer who was stolen and sold for food, how Patrick is not leaving Spongebob, and an update on Nathaniel and Chase of My Strange Addiction. The cast talks about the longest tongue in the world, and Taylor Swift's upcoming wedding at MSG. They talk about Nichelle Nichols family being paid out $13M over wrongful death suit, Obama's new museum, and George Lucas' new Star Wars museum in LA. The crew chats about entertainment news, opinions and other cool stuff and things. Enjoy.Wherever you listen to podcasts & www.thegrindhouseradio.comhttps://linktr.ee/thegrindhouseradio

For our second Not-So-Terrible-2, we have the best turnaround for a sequel that Hollywood has ever seen: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After the boring failure that was Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Paramount pulled in someone who had never seen Star Trek to direct the film, Nicholas Meyer. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Bibi Besch, Merritt Butrick, Kirstie Alley, and an incredible performance from Ricardo Montalbán.

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.

Creator, Gene Roddenberry's vision of a future that was beyond the contemporary struggles of civil rights and racism and global Cold War tensions but very much aligned with the style of the 1960s. As a diverse crew faced alien planets and tackled ethical questions audience numbers dwindled and cancellation loomed. The show was finally axed in 1969 but a growing fanbase aided by syndication meant what could have been a small part of TV history actually became a huge phenomena. My amazing Trekkie guests discuss the origins of my favourite franchise. Julian Chambliss is a scholar and a professor at Michigan State University. He has taught Star Trek as part of his Media Race and Culture classes. Carey Millsap-Spears is a professor of communications/literature at Moraine Valley Community College.

You can check the JustWatch website for details of what it's available in your region.    

Dans ComicsDiscovery, notre podcast consacré à la bande dessinée, nous nous intéressons aujourd'hui à Le Visage du Créateur, une bande dessinée signée Laurent-Frédéric Bollée et Cristiano Spadoni et publiée chez Glénat. Un album historique qui revient sur l'une des plus grandes tragédies de la conquête spatiale : l'explosion de la navette Challenger le 28 janvier 1986, une catastrophe qui a profondément marqué la NASA et son programme spatial. Laurent-Frédéric Bollée et Cristiano Spadoni aux commandesAu scénario, on retrouve Laurent-Frédéric Bollée, scénariste mais aussi journaliste français. Né en 1967, il débute très jeune dans la bande dessinée en coécrivant une série dérivée du Vagabond des Limbes avec Christian Godard. Au fil des années, il s'est imposé comme un auteur reconnu pour ses récits historiques et documentés. Au dessin, Cristiano Spadoni, artiste italien formé à Rome, s'est notamment illustré dans la bande dessinée italienne chez Sergio Bonelli Editore, en travaillant entre autres sur la série Julia. Avec Le Visage du Créateur, il signe une entrée remarquée dans la bande dessinée franco-belge. 73 secondes qui ont marqué l'histoire de la NASALe 28 janvier 1986, sous les yeux du monde entier, la navette Challenger explose seulement 73 secondes après son décollage. À son bord se trouvent sept membres d'équipage : les astronautes Francis R. Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka et Judith Resnik, ainsi que deux civils, l'ingénieur Gregory Jarvis et l'enseignante Christa McAuliffe, sélectionnée pour devenir la première professeure à voyager dans l'espace. Le drame endeuille leurs familles, mais il traumatise aussi toute l'Amérique et met un coup d'arrêt brutal au programme de la navette spatiale de la NASA. Dans Le Visage du Créateur, les auteurs utilisent plusieurs points de vue pour nous replonger au cœur de cette tragédie et rappeler à quel point la conquête spatiale représentait un immense espoir pour toute une génération. L'album évoque notamment le rôle de Nichelle Nichols, l'actrice connue pour son rôle d'Uhura dans Star Trek, qui s'est fortement impliquée dans les campagnes de recrutement de la NASA afin d'encourager la diversité au sein de l'agence spatiale. Une génération marquée par le rêve spatialDans cette émission, nous avons aussi la chance d'avoir Spades avec nous, qui fait partie de la génération qui a grandi avec la course à l'espace et le rêve incarné par la NASA : celui de voir l'humanité repousser ses limites et atteindre l'inconnu. Mais il a également vécu le traumatisme de la catastrophe de Challenger et l'arrêt brutal de ce rêve pour toute une génération qui voyait soudain l'espace redevenir un horizon beaucoup plus lointain. Un récit humain et poignantL'album Le Visage du Créateur, signé Laurent-Frédéric Bollée et Cristiano Spadoni, revient avec beaucoup de justesse sur cette tragédie. La bande dessinée nous plonge au cœur de l'événement, notamment à travers la préparation de Christa McAuliffe, l'enseignante sélectionnée pour devenir la première professeure à voyager dans l'espace. Le récit permet aussi de comprendre les raisons de la catastrophe et à quel point celle-ci aurait pu être évitée. C'est une bande dessinée particulièrement touchante, portée par un dessin très vivant qui renforce encore la dimension humaine de cette histoire.

For the holiday today, we're replaying an episode from January 2020 about the civil rights leader and his connection to Star Trek. A big reason why Dr. King was such a fan was the character of Lieutenant Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols.Star Trek's Uhura Reflects On MLK Encounter (NPR's Tell Me More)

LEITURA BÍBLICA DO DIA: MARCOS 10:35-45 PLANO DE LEITURA ANUAL: GÊNESIS 36–38; MATEUS 10:21-42   Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  A atriz Nichelle Nichols é lembrada por interpretar a tenente Uhura na série Star Trek. Conseguir o papel foi uma vitória pessoal, pois foi uma das primeiras mulheres afro-americanas num grande programa de TV. Mas uma vitória ainda maior estava por vir. Nichols pediu demissão de Star Trek após a 1ª temporada, para voltar ao teatro. Entretanto, ao conhecer Martin Luther King Jr., ele a incentivou a não sair: “Pela primeira vez, os afro-americanos viam-se na TV como pessoas inteligentes que podiam fazer de tudo, até ir ao espaço”, ele disse. Ao interpretar Uhura, Nichelle alcançava uma vitória maior: inspirar mulheres e crianças negras sobre o que elas poderiam vir a ser. Penso em Tiago e João, pedindo a Jesus os melhores cargos em Seu reino (MARCOS 10:37). Que vitória pessoal seria conseguir esses cargos! Jesus não somente lhes explicou a realidade daquele pedido (vv.38-40), mas os chamou para objetivos maiores, dizendo: “Quem quiser ser o líder entre vocês, que seja servo” (v.43). Seus seguidores não deveriam buscar vitórias pessoais, mas, como Ele, usar sua posição para servir aos outros (v.45). Nichelle continuou em Star Trek pela vitória que proporcionou aos afro-americanos. Que nós também nunca nos contentemos apenas com uma vitória pessoal, mas que possamos sempre servir aos outros em nome de Jesus.  Por: SHERIDAN VOYSEY

We're getting into We ❤️ Movies Month here on The Nexus as well, that's right, it's time for us to (finally) take a look at the masterful Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country! When you really get down to it, putting the legendary villain of Khan aside, there's a real argument to be made that THISis the best of all Star Trek films. How incredible is this cold open with Captain Sulu? Did they drop the storyline of Scotty and Uhura sleeping together from the last movie? How great is it seeing Shatner fight himself in the prison break scene? Did Christopher Plummer's character ever read anyone other than Shakespeare? And we can all agree that the signatures at the end are great? PLUS: A history of the importance of various Dee Vee Dee extras!  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country stars William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Kim Cattrall, Mark Lenard, Grace Lee Whitney, Bock Peters, Kurtwood Smith, David Warner, Christopher Plummer, and Michael Dorn as Colonel Worf; directed by Nicholas Meyer.

This week, we're presenting stories about the struggle to find acceptance — whether it's at Space Camp or in the United States of America.Part 1: Computer scientist LaShana Lewis's childhood dream of attending Space Camp starts to feel far away — until she gets the Christmas surprise of a lifetime. Part 2: When Guizella Rocabado leaves her home in Bolivia to pursue her education in the United States, her plan hits an unexpected snag. LaShana Lewis grew up in East St. Louis, Illinois, where a love of the night sky led her to the Saint Louis Science Center as a longtime volunteer, and later a docent presenting talks on astronomy and aeronautics. She studied computational mathematics at Michigan Technological University, earned a HarvardX honor certificate in computer science, and attended NASA Space Camp. Now based in Los Angeles, LaShana serves on the board of STEAM Superheroes, a nonprofit inspired by Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols' legacy, and leads L. M. Lewis Consulting, bringing over 20 years of experience in tech, strategy, and inclusive leadership. Dr. Guizella Rocabado is an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Her research focuses on chemistry education. She is mainly interested in uncovering the narratives of success of students from all backgrounds. Bringing diversity to STEM fields is a great focus of her work. Her current projects involve the development and testing of instruments for use with diverse populations to investigate the role of the affective domain in undergraduate STEM learning and persistence. In her spare time she loves to travel, try new foods and meet new people.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anika and Liz don their sparkliest shirts and biggest earrings, and sit down to watch Star Trek: Of Gods And Men, a fan film starring Nichelle Nichols, Alan Ruck, Walter Koenig and more. You can watch it here, or -- in a much smaller window -- watch an unauthorised HD remaster.  We're in our Alan Ruck era, but we were not prepared for the unbelievable hotness of Garrett Wang, or the SURPRISE LIBERTARIANISM. We take … issue. With the timeline-changing catalyst.  This comment from a Redditor who claims to have worked on the production sets it in context.  Of Gods and Men is in conversation with the other science fiction of its era (2006-2008) in an interesting way. Nichelle Nichols carried this movie, and it is tragic she never got a showcase like this in official Trek Alternate Universe Chekov is a LIBERTARIAN FREEDOM FIGHTER with an unspeakable wig Alan Ruck and Chase Masterton have great chemistry The costumes are … hmm. Well. You should know that the entire time Anika is talking about Alien Nation, Liz was thinking of Coneheads

One of Captain Goodwill's picks for The Dabo Wheel of Shame here. While Prodigy is an excellent show in our opinion, is "Kobayashi" one of its weakest episodes? Dal is getting to grips with his self-appointed rank of captain and calls on training from holograms of famous Trek characters to help. This episode is notable There's disagreement between our two hosts here but can the Captain be talked round? Is it okay or disrespectful to use sound clips of Leonard Nimoy, René Auberjonois, Nichelle Nichols, and James Doohan after their deaths?

Is STAR TREK: OF GODS AND MEN a fan film if the fans who made it are prolific Star Trek actors??Steve and Justin are going where (at the time of this release) only six Letterboxd users have gone before… Tim Russ's (Star Trek Voyager) non-canonical Star Trek universe. Can an all-star Star Trek cast including Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, Ethan Phillips, Alan Ruck, and Garret Wang save this low-budget love letter to Star Trek from feeling like the Wrath of Comic-Con? Logic would suggest ‘no'. But it was still good enough to change the rules around what can be considered a Star Trek ‘fan film'. Watch STAR TREK: OF GODS AND MENBUY OUR MERCH!

Rerun: Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) embraced and kissed on "Plato's Stepchildren"; an episode of ‘Star Trek' broadcast on 22nd November, 1968 - just a year after the Supreme Court declared interracial marriage to be legal. However, despite popular belief that this was TV's first interracial kiss, it wasn't. It wasn't even the first interracial kiss on TV featuring William Shatner… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine just how slowly attitudes to ‘mixed marriage' were shifting in the United States; compare this iconic Trekkie moment to homoerotic frat-boy YouTube videos; and reveal how the actors concerned deliberately sabotaged ‘the wide' so their kiss would be screened coast-to-coast… Further Reading: • Kirk and Uhura kiss on ‘Star Trek' (Paramount Television, 1968): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lThvEsP5-9Y • ‘'Star Trek's' interracial kiss 50 years ago boldly went where none had gone before' (NBC News, 2018): https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/star-trek-s-interracial-kiss-50-years-ago-went-boldly-n941181 • ‘Nichelle Nichols on filming the first interracial kiss on American television' (Archive of American Television, 2010): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hKKkGhEDoU ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

Actress Nichelle Nichols is best remembered for playing Lieutenant Uhura in the original Star Trek series. Landing the role was a personal win for Nichols, making her one of the first African American women on a major TV show. But a greater win was to come of it. Nichols had actually resigned from Star Trek after its first season, to return to her theater work. But then she met Martin Luther King Jr., who urged her not to leave. For the first time, he said, African Americans were being seen on TV as intelligent people who could do anything, even go to space. By playing Lieutenant Uhura, Nichols was achieving a greater win—showing Black women and children what they could become. It reminds me of the time James and John asked Jesus for the two best positions in His kingdom (Mark 10:37). What personal wins such positions would be! Jesus not only explained the painful realities of their request (vv. 38–40) but called them to higher goals, saying, “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant” (v. 43). His followers weren’t to seek personal wins alone but, like Him, use their positions to serve others (v. 45). Nichelle Nichols stayed with Star Trek for the greater win it provided for African Americans. May we too never be content with a personal win alone but use whatever position we gain to serve others in His name.

Nichelle Nichols (c. 1932-2022) is an American actress, singer, and dancer, best known for her iconic role as Lieutenant Uhura in the original Star Trek television series. Renowned for breaking racial barriers onscreen in the 1960s, Nichelle became a cultural symbol of diversity and inclusion. Beyond her contributions to the entertainment industry, Nichelle worked with NASA to recruit diverse astronauts, leaving an indelible mark on both science fiction and reality.
