Star Trek is back in a big way: we've had three live-action TV shows and two animated shows recently, with more stuff on the way. But what does Star Trek mean to us now? And what do we want from Star Trek today? To get deeper into these questions, we did a mind meld with Lower Decks creator Mike McMahan. Show notes: www.ouropinionsarecorrect.com/shownotes

Seven years ago, Santa Fe Opera started a conversation that would reverberate throughout American Opera, shaping this celebrated art form into something more reflective of the world in which it's created. Today, Opera For All Voices (OFAV) commissions have surpassed even our wildest storytelling expectations.  Key Change co-hosts Andrea Fellows Fineberg and Anna Garcia tuck into the time machine for a season-ending trip around the OFAV universe, revisiting the initiative's greatest hits and offering fans a glimpse at what's to come––with Ruth Nott, consultant, Opera for All Voices; Brent Michael Davids, composer; and Mary Kathryn Nagle J.D., playwright, attorney, and member of Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. OFAV began with a simple premise. "We wanted to see what other voices were available and had interesting stories to tell," Ruth explains. So, how'd we do?  In the past 18 months alone, OFAV has produced two world premieres in Santa Fe, This Little Light Of Mine and Hometown To The World, a groundbreaking workshop in San Francisco for The Pigeon Keeper, and OFAV on Broadway featuring Hometown To The World. We've also strengthened our bond with the Pueblo Opera Cultural Council. While reminiscing is fun, the Key Change time machine is actually a forward-focused intergalactic vehicle. Brent and Mary Kathryn have plotted next season's creative journey from pueblo to cosmos. "It'll be one of the very first operas that centers a Native woman protagonist," hints Mary Kathryn. "We're asking questions that go far beyond Indian country or the history of the relationship between the United States and Native people. We're asking questions that pertain to all of humanity, and what is our relationship to the universe." Catch a ride for Season Five coming soon!

In the face of total annihilation by the omnipotent Beast's unstoppable hordes of Slayers, two hostile neighbouring nations form an alliance against the common enemy. However, the otherworldly adversary is all-powerful, and before long, a handful of mismatched defenders are willing to walk a shitload to ensure the land's future. In this suicide mission, the magical, five-edged weapon known as the Glaive is their only chance of survival. There is a Cyclops, Giant White Spider, Red Lava Water, National Parks, a man who has a specific set of skills (one of them is not taking care of his family), a guy who sells candy, and a man that once dressed like a nun. Join Dan and Brock as they gush about how cool this movie really is!

We have only ourselves to blame for this one. Well, actually, it's pretty much all Big D's fault: Shat The Movies finally found the courage (and the commissioner) to tackle the 1980 space opera "Flash Gordon." Whether you thought this horny Dino De Laurentiis fantasy was a terrific comic book adaptation or just a crappy "Star Wars" ripoff, it's certainly a film that's instantly recognizable through sight or sound. That Queen anthem, those wild colors and costumes: This is a movie best enjoyed on hallucinogens ... pantless. Gene found a new personal hero in Topol, the Hebrew Harrison Ford. Dick appreciated the female empowerment. And Ash asked, "How many times can Flash Gordon die?" In this episode, the Shat Crew also covered Max von Sydow in yellow face, faulty rocket designs, Chekov's pitot-static tube, psychological scarring from the "Wood Beast" and the tragic tale of a trilogy that died in the cradle.

It's not been that long since they last discussed it, but this week Jonathan and Gary return to the question of space opera, new space opera, and what contemporary SF authors might make of the concept. Is space opera the core narrative of SF, as Jonathan suggests, or only one of them? What are its essential characteristics? Has the greater diversity of SF over the last decade changed its basic form? It seems that when the term was first coined, it clearly referred to pulp adventure tales that we popular in the 1930s. But later versions have questioned the assumptions of those old chestnuts, redefining the form for each generation. How, for example, do current writers like Arkady Martine, Charlie Jane Anders, and Emily Tesh make use of the form? We definitely don't settle any of these questions, but we'll probably keep trying.

It's time to delve into another subgenre of science fiction once again! This series of Journey Through Sci-Fi James and Matt explore the fantastical world of Space Opera. To kick things off they look at the origins of the genre and discuss the very first Space Opera film, A Trip To Mars (1918) a.k.a Himmelskibet.  Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!

Welcome to Roadcase!!  We're stoked to have Disco Biscuits' Jon Gutwillig joining us for this week's episode. Jon has been creating killer soundscapes and rocking venues worldwide with the Biscuits' unique “trancefusion” brand of jazz/disco/funk/etc… now for over 25 years. The Biscuits upcoming album, a “Space Opera” entitled Revoluion in Motion, is set to be out in the Spring, and proves to be another one-of-a-kind, truly genre-bending work. Jon has struggled somewhat over the years with his own direction, yet much to his own credit, continues to find new lanes to explore, giving him motivation and renewed purpose. His own personal story is one of fatherhood, flexibility, gentleness of soul and an acceptance of the inevitability that we all must move forward towards a goal. So fire up those lasers and hop on the Roadcase bus to learn more about Disco Biscuits and musical pioneer Jon Gutwillig.  It's gonna be a great ride!!For more info:http://www.discobiscuits.com/For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comContact: info@roadcasepod.comTheme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Avatar: The Way of Water has already become one of the most successful movies of all time. This long-awaited sequel gives us a lot to think about — from the ongoing white savior narrative to an unexpectedly disturbing interstellar whaling industry. But when it comes down to how we feel about this movie, we disagree quite a bit. Show notes: www.ouropinionsarecorrect.com/shownotes

Roxana Hadadi, a TV critic for New York magazine's culture site Vulture. and returning guest Corey Atad join me for an enthusiastic discussion of Tony Gilroy's ambitious new Disney Star Wars streaming series Andor. Gilroy, who had been brought in by Lucasfilm to rescue the troubled production Rogue One in 2016, recently returned to the franchise for a series that provides a backstory for the character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) who sacrificed his life to steal the plans for the Death Star. But Andor the series is not really a Space Opera with the typical fan servicing Disney has provided Star Wars fans in recent years. Instead it's a program built as a series of mini arcs that analyze how fascist rule is systemically maintained (through private police, colonial rule and the prison industrial complex) and how people living under such a system can either become radicalized, victimized or complicit. It's Star Wars fused with Blade Runner, The Battle of Algiers and yes, Michael Clayton. We discuss the show's intelligent design and impeccable vibes, and we wonder, for a show that is so clearly sympathetic to antifascism, why it hasn't enraged the culture warriors on the right who are usually always angry about Star Wars. There are over three dozen premium episodes of the show available exclusively to patrons: some notable previous Patreon guests include Jared Yates Sexton, Jacob Bacharach, David Roth, Bryan Quinby and Sooz Kempner.
