Okay, today it's a very special episode. Firstly, because I'm talking about one my favourite films of the decade- John Landis' 'The Blues Brothers'- and secondly, because I'm joined once again by Liam Dempsey and Paul Willson, two of the hosts from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast. And we have much to discuss with this film and beyond. You can certainly expect us to examine the careers of Landis and his leads, Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi (commenting on the films '1941', 'Ghostbusters, 'Beverly Hills Cop 3', 'Blues Brothers 2000' to name but a few).  So sit back and relax, pour yourself an orange whip, and listen as we discuss a stone-cold classic.

This festive season we unwrap 2015 Anthology movie, A Christmas Horror Story, starring William Shatner as DJ Dangerous Dan.   Matt saw this film during the Frightfest Festival many moons ago and awarded it 4.5 stars on Letterboxd…Paul does not agree… leaving Liam to referee a Crimbo battle more exciting than Santa vs Krampus!   We discuss the history of Horror Anthologies and how a very specific structure can be key to making them work, whether Shatner's shock jock monologues reveal something about the filmmakers themselves, another surprise Star Trek connection and whether a local radio Weatherman would also be the Mall Santa, all over a large bottle of Port!   Stay subscribed and come back soon for Part 2 of our Christmas celebrations as we rundown our favourite film discoveries of the year!   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston's, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more at http://www.stephentrumble.com  Huge thanks to Russell Honeywell for post production support

We're joined by Dave Corkery from the Award winning Cinemile podcast as we take on The Doomsday Machine from The Original Series.   Dave grapples with the idea of being known as a Trekkie and tells us why this episode stuck out for him on his lockdown inspired epic mission to watch all of Star Trek from the beginning, Liam pays an emotional tribute to Commodore Matt Decker, Matt argues that the characters sympathetic handling of the villain of the piece represents the hope in the human spirit that Roddenberry's Utopian vision celebrates, and Paul celebrates William Shatner's performance and how his turn makes The Captain's actions believable.    So why not join us for another grand adventure by listening now!   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find more information about The Cinemile at https://www.thecinemile.com/ Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston's, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more at http://www.stephentrumble.com

Five years after covering the first X-Men film on the podcast and with 'Deadpool & Wolverine' currently in Cinemas and lighting up the box office, we return to the franchise to discuss 2017 entry, Logan, with special Guest, Kobi Omenaka.    We talk about Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart's performances in the film and how they clearly approached this film differently from other instalments in the series, find ourselves wowed by the brutal violence on display in this very R-rated entry, wonder if the seeming finality of this film will be effected by Jackman's return in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' (Disclaimer: We had not seen it prior to recording), and discuss the odd trajectory of the Wolverine film "trilogy".   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find Kobi @Kobestarr on X, while more information about Flixwatcher (including their scoreboard discussed in the show) can be found at https://flixwatcher.tv/ Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston's, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more at http://www.stephentrumble.com

In this episode- recorded just before Christmas- I'm joined by not one but two very special guests to discuss a very special film. The film in question- which incidentally turns 40 years old this year(!)- is 'Ghostbusters' from director Ivan Reitman. My fantastic guests are Dave Corkery from The Cinemile podcast and Liam Dempsey, one of the hosts of Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast. And the three of us are all huge fans of this movie and we could have easily talked for double the length of this episode on our thoughts and feelings for this stone cold classic and the films which have proceeded it (we even touch briefly on 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' which comes out later this year).

On a special Christmas edition of the Star trek Podcast from a non-Trekkie perspective, the Spocklight crew discuss two festive episodes of Boston Legal (Hired Guns from Season 1 and Green Christmas from Season 4) starring William Shatner in his Emmy Award winning turn as Denny Crane.    We're joined for this dive into David E. Kelley's legalverse by Eleanor Parker of the Bygones Podcast, which examines Ally McBeal episode by episode through modern eyes, as we talk Denny Crane's penchant for guns, the other Star Trek connections that Boston Legal had over the years, the odd tone of the show, the surprisingly starry cast and how the anti-environmental message of Green Christmas has aged very badly, all while polishing off a bottle of port.   Come join us for a cigar on the balcony and download now.    As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   Eleanor can be heard on the Bygones Podcast at all good pod places and you can find the pod @BygonesPodcast on X.  Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston's, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more at http://www.stephentrumble.com/ Huge thanks to Russell Honeywell for post production sound support

Our resident Animation expert, David Trumble, returns to the podcast with news of the latest project he's been working on for Netflix, an adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Twits, and primarily to help us breakdown the second half of Star Trek: Prodigy's triumphant first season.    We discuss the importance of having a great Star Trek show on the air that's accessible to kids, praise Kate Mulgrew's performance in her dual role as Admiral/Hologram Janeway, the benefits of "leaving it all out on the field" when it comes to plotting out the first season of a TV show, and wonder if a Summit for the Showrunners of the current Star trek Universe is required to ensure that the plots of the various shows don't overlap.    There's also some exciting Awards news for some members of the Spocklight crew and we look forward to the potential that a second season of Prodigy could bring.    Note: This episode was recorded before the resolution of the WGA strike and before the announcement that Prodigy would now be continuing on it's new home of Netflix.   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   David can be found at @Drumble on X and @david.w.trumble on Instagram.

Paul Willson and Liam Dempsey from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Paul's choice The Last Castle. The Last Castle is a 2001 military action film directed by Rod Lurie. It stars Robert Redford as Lieutenant General Eugene Irwin who is sentenced to 10 years at a maximum security military prison for violating orders that resulted in the deaths of eight soldiers. In charge of the prison is James Gandolfini's Colonel Ed Winter, an admirer of Irwin. Who despite having never seen combat keeps a coveted collection of military artifacts and inflicts punishing behaviour on the prisoners. After a prisoner is killed by a rubber bullet the prisoners start regarding Irwin as their leader and a battle of control between Winter and Irwin intensifies. Mark Ruffalo and Delroy Linda co star. Although released in 2001 The Last Castle would feel at home in the 1990s action genre, all the effects are practical, not digital and how many 00s films feature Robert Redford shirtless carrying rocks in the midday heat? The Last Castle is an easy watch, it might be corny and a bit predictable but the star power of Redford and its no nonsense approach makes it quite endearing. The scores for recommendability reflect this and fall into firmly into the three point fives to four marks. Slightly lower scores for repeat viewing due to its two hour plus runtime give an overall rating of 3.79.   [supsystic-tables id=319] Episode #306 Crew Links Thanks to Episode #306 Crew of David Llong and Neil Gregory from We Needed Roads podcast Find their Websites online at https://twitter.com/BBCSussex and at https://twitter.com/spocklightpod and at https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spocklight-a-star-trek-podcast/id1150816497?mt=2 Please make sure you give them some love   More about The Last Castle For more info on The Last Castle, you can visit The Last Castle IMDb page here or The Last Castle Rotten Tomatoes page here.

Liam Dempsey and Paul Willson from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast join Flixwatcher to review Liam's choice Boiling Point. Boiling Point is a 2021 British drama, directed by Philip Barantini it stars Stephen Graham as Andy, a head chef at an high profile restaurant in London. When we meet Andy he is not having a great day, his restaurant has been downgraded from five to three stars for hygiene, it has been overbooked for the evening and he is having problems in his personal life. Thrown into the mix is also a customer with a nut allergy, a racist diner and tensions in the kitchen all which create a pressure cooker environment. Shot in one take Boiling Point is a thrilling drama, Graham is excellent as the unfortunate Andy. Watching his situation deteriorate on what could end up being the worst night of his life is both stressful and compelling. Recommendability and engagement scores for Boiling Point were very high to give a very impressive overall rating of 4.01.   [supsystic-tables id=296 Episode #297 Crew Links Thanks to Episode #296 Crew of David Llong and Neil Gregory from We Needed Roads podcast Find their Websites online at https://twitter.com/BBCSussex and at https://twitter.com/spocklightpod and at https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spocklight-a-star-trek-podcast/id1150816497?mt=2 Please make sure you give them some love   More about Boiling Point For more info on Boiling Point, you can visit Boiling Point IMDb page here or Boiling Point Rotten Tomatoes page here.

In a very special Christmas edition of the podcast, the Spocklight crew discuss the 1996 TV movie adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost starring Sir Patrick Stewart as suggested by one of our listeners (and if any of you Spocklighters out there have suggestions for future episodes we'd love to hear from you!)   We crack open a bottle of the finest port as we trace the history of the Christmas Ghost Story tradition and the various different adaptations of ‘The Canterville Ghost' over the decades while chatting the lack of scares, the attempts at broad humour and how a dark mid-point revelation makes Stewart's character rather difficult to root for.   Merry Christmas from everyone at Spocklight!   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston's, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more at http://www.stephentrumble.com  Huge thanks to Russell Honeywell for sound post production support assistance
