When Una's first away mission as commander almost gets her caught inside Klingon space, the away team ditches the shuttle on an occupied planet and they get dressed up to try to lay low. But after she's recognized for someone whose alliances aren't black and white, Una can't end the mission without appointing a new leader for the Mataaran resistance. What's Star Trek shorthand for an oppressive society? When is Dr. M'Benga like Batman? Who do we need 500% more of on this show? It's the episode that's too cute by one quarter.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing listGet a thing at podshop.bizGreatest Trek is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr HarrisonThe show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs:Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of Greatest Trek Hosted on Acast.

Award-winning aerospace speaker and communicator Ken Ruffin joins Better Call Daddy host Reena Friedman Watts for a conversation about the moon landing, rocket propulsion, and the future of space exploration. Ken Ruffin, founder and CEO of Didymos Consulting LLC (dba Ruff-in-Space) and a longtime leader within the National Space Society, shares how being woken up as a child to watch Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk sparked a lifelong passion for space, and how Star Trek shaped his transition from aerospace engineering into a career as a space communicator. This episode covers rocket propulsion technology, nuclear electric propulsion, the future of NASA, commercial space travel, and commercial space stations. Ken and Reena also explore the cultural impact of space exploration and why curiosity and education matter for inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and dreamers. If you're interested in space exploration, aerospace engineering, NASA's future missions, commercial spaceflight, rocket science, space industry careers, or the story behind the Apollo 11 moon landing, this conversation is for you.

The Council of Nine is one of the strangest stories involving telepathy, occult experiments, secret military bases, and alleged contact with otherworldly beings. Today we're looking at Andrija Puharich's obsession with psychic phenomena, his experiments with Uri Geller, the mysterious entity known as Tom, and the Nine's bizarre description of God. We also get into sacred mushrooms, the infamous “tooth radio,” Space Kids, a suspicious laboratory fire, and the surprising connection between the Council of Nine and Star Trek. Welcome to Camp!

Chris just DOES NOT shut up this week about all the problems he had with "Absolute Candor", a side quest Picard drags the crew on despite knowing the urgency of his main quest. But is that more annoying or Agnes's increasing self-conscious quirkiness? You decide! While Picard deals with ANOTHER aspect of his tedious guilt, Soji is beginning to figure out something might be amiss with her own life. Also this week: unnecessary relationship, Colonizer Picard, and who's HE? [Absolute Candor: 00:29]

REUPLOADED WITH NEW MUSIC!Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: First Contact.Following the release of Star Trek Generations and how much of a success it was, Paramount told Rick Berman to prepare the next film starring the cast of The Next Generation. Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga wanted to bring back the Borg, and Berman wanted a time travel story. They decided to combine the two - and different time periods were bandied about before settling upon the not-too-distant future. Released November 22, 1996 for the 30th anniversary of Star Trek, First Contact is generally considered the best of the TNG era of films. In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which marks the fourth part (of six) of the podcast's Second Star Trek Film Extravaganza, Wes sits down with Synthgirl to talk about the film, other Star Trek related opinions and the design aesthetics of the franchise that were likely changed by the events of this movie.

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.

REUPLOADED WITH NO COPYRIGHTED MUSIC!Celebrating 35 Years of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. After the release of The Final Frontier, Paramount was not keen on making another Star Trek film. There were ideas bandied about, and even a prequel got so far as the storyboarding stage before being abandoned in favor of a final film starring the original cast. Released on December 6, 1991, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Trek, The Undiscovered Country bookended the Original Series era with a film that told its version of the collapse of the Soviet Union - the film is the first to be released following the collapse of that communist nation. In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which marks the halfway point of the podcast's Second Star Trek Film Extravaganza, Wes sits down with Jeffrey (Renegade Shipyards) to talk about this milestone film.Any feedback you have can be submitted to the Facebook page (facebook.com/TCTrekkiesPod), or by emailing them at tctrekkiespodcast@gmail.com.

Remember, the Force will be with you, always. The vector series continues with one of the best arcades to ever do it - Atari's Star Wars. What very Star Trek name did Star Wars originally go by before Atari gained the license from Lucasfilm? How did a focus group give us one of the top arcade grails ever? Did we discover a hidden and somewhat obscene new arcade cabinet format? How many parcels make up a parsec?

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Anthony back on the show to discuss the 1986 sci-fi comedy Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.  You remember the cast, you remember the plot (whates!), but did you remember the humor?  This movie is flat out funny.  And in all the right ways.  We aren't laughing at Kirk, Spock, Bones and the crew, we are laughing with them.  Well, maybe we are also laughing at them as well.  Is this the best Star Trek movie ever?  Maybe.  Is it the funniest?  Absolutley.  And we had tons of fun discussing this one.  Enjoy the podcast!!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

Show notes provided by Arco EspositoFinding something you love isn't hard at all now is it? Think about it, we get attached to something that brings us some sort of joy and happiness, however fleeting or lasting it may be. That's not something new or unusual. It is, however, a very rare thing to find a love that is shared by thousands upon thousands, perhaps even millions! Then it no longer can be considered a singular event, but rather a movement, and those of us that follow along are no longer just individuals, but a community. This is also a very fancy way of saying “fanhood”. This is exactly what the film Galaxy Quest portrays, a community of misfit fans who have found commonality within a long canceled tv show, keeping a practical effects series alive in fan theories, conjecture and idol worship. Sound familiar? Well it should since Galaxy Quest is considered one of the best Star Trek films ever made, even though the words Star Trek are never uttered within the film. You just know. We know because not only have we seen films about actors and their fans before but we have lived this fanhood life. We are what Galaxy Quest is about. We are the fans that hunger for any new information on the pop culture items we love, that keep alive a once thriving phenomenon that may have ended a generation earlier, keeping it in the cultural zeitgeist for future fans to enjoy. We are the reason for remakes, reboots and sequels. We are the legions of fans who flood conventions and scamper for a good view of the panels of actors from our favorite movies and shows. We are what galaxy Quest is really about, what it teaches us: that within a fanhood, no matter what kind, sports, comics, books, etc. we are never alone, because we will always have that to hold us together. We will always have that community. 

This week, we bounce from questionable kindergarten teaching techniques and a tour through old movies to a pile of upcoming sci-fi and superhero projects. Then, in Future or Now, AI gives hurricane forecasters a potentially huge advantage, NASA pulls off another bit of engineering wizardry to keep Voyager 2 alive, and the cast of The Pitt boldly goes where plenty of actors have gone before. Real Life Steven is officially over summer. Heat, summer schedules, summer in general—it's time to move on. Meanwhile, Ben has been watching OLD MOVIES, including Kindergarten Cop. Ben calls it an "exceptional film," but watching Arnold Schwarzenegger take control of a classroom in 2026 raises some questions. How would Detective John Kimble's teaching methods stack up against modern school employee safety training? How many policies would he violate before lunch? And perhaps most unsettling: just how old are all those kindergarteners today? That sends us down the inevitable road of examining an old movie through the lens of people who now have entirely too much experience with how schools actually operate. Steven also has a pile of upcoming genre television and movie news to talk about. Neuromancer is headed to Apple TV, while Blade Runner 2099 is coming as a limited series on Prime Video. San Diego Comic-Con also brought news about Ghost Rider and Black Panther 3, along with more X-Men casting news involving Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, and Professor X. Trailer Links: Neuromancer: Watch on YouTube Blade Runner 2099: Watch on YouTube Devon has been doing some family movie watching, working through the Jumanji movies and eventually arriving at Zathura. Technically part of the larger Jumanji family, Zathura doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. It doesn't help that Dax Shepard's character has to exist in the shadow of Robin Williams, which leads to the assessment that Shepard comes across as "a block of wood" by comparison. Things get considerably darker with The Long Walk, based on Stephen King's novel originally published under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. Devon found the adaptation interesting and well done—but extremely bleak. That conversation somehow takes a detour through Time Runner before eventually landing on Hokum and its supernatural layer. Future or Now AI Gets Better at Predicting Hurricanes Ben brings us a potentially enormous development in weather forecasting. Google DeepMind's WeatherNext AI system has demonstrated an ability to improve hurricane forecasts, potentially giving forecasters and emergency planners an additional day of warning. The system predicts both storm tracks and intensity and can rapidly generate thousands of possible scenarios. During Hurricane Melissa, it reportedly identified major intensification earlier than conventional forecasting models. That's potentially life-saving extra time for communities preparing for a major storm. But there's an interesting wrinkle: like many sophisticated AI systems, exactly how the model reaches some of its conclusions isn't always clear to the scientists using it. That makes WeatherNext another fascinating example of AI producing useful results while simultaneously raising questions about how much we need to understand a system before we're comfortable relying on it. And despite the improvement in modeling, humans aren't leaving the process. Meteorologists still have to interpret the information, communicate uncertainty, and turn forecasts into useful warnings for the public. Read the Ars Technica report on DeepMind's hurricane forecasting breakthrough This Week in Space: Voyager's "Big Bang" Nearly half a century after leaving Earth, Voyager 2 is still going, and NASA engineers are once again finding creative ways to keep it alive. In an operation nicknamed the "Big Bang," engineers simultaneously shut down power-hungry hardware and transitioned to lower-power alternatives while carefully keeping the spacecraft warm enough to survive. Voyager's dwindling power supply has forced NASA to make increasingly difficult decisions about which systems can remain operational, making every additional bit of usable energy precious. It's another remarkable chapter in a mission launched in 1977 that is still returning scientific data from interstellar space. Read more about the Voyager 2 operation at ScienceDaily Explore NASA's Voyager mission And while we're talking about space, we check back in on New Asgard and ask the important question: is Devon still going to space? The Pitt Goes to Star Trek Finally, there's an unusual crossover coming for fans of The Pitt and Star Trek. Noah Wyle and members of The Pitt cast are participating in a Star Trek table read benefiting the Writers Guild Foundation. It's not a new Trek series and it's not some bizarre medical-drama crossover episode—but it is an opportunity to hear a completely different cast tackle Star Trek material while supporting the foundation's programs. Read more about The Pitt cast's Star Trek table read at TrekMovie   From aging action comedies to AI-powered hurricane forecasts and a spacecraft that refuses to die, this week is a reminder that the future has a funny way of colliding with the past. Join us next time for more science, sci-fi, and whatever unexpected detours we stumble into along the way.

REUPLOADED WITH NEW MUSIC!Spaceballs.Mel Brooks' 1987 sci-fi spoof film parodied everything from Star Wars, to Alien, and even Star Trek.

What did Star Trek fans have to say in 1976? John Champion returns to The Trek Files for a look through Gene Roddenberry's fan correspondence. This season's selection captures a moment in Star Trek history, ten years after the original series debuted, but before the arrival of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A Cincinnati attorney credits Spock's logic for helping persuade a jury. An artist shares his hand-painted "Mr. Spock" portrait… on an egg. A teacher explains how she's bringing Star Trek into the classroom, while another fan gently reminds Gene that he still owes her friend for a videotape.

Is nerd culture in trouble? Because lately…it sure feels like it.In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, we're talking about the NERD-OCALYPSE — that strange feeling that seemingly everything we love about being a nerd is going through a rough patch at the exact same time.Physical video games are disappearing. PlayStation fans are worried about the future of physical media. The MCU doesn't seem to have the same excitement it once did. DC Studios and the DCU are facing plenty of questions after Supergirl. Doctor Who has an uncertain future. Star Trek has no projects on the horizon. Star Wars continues to divide its fanbase. And if you'd rather escape into PC gaming, building computers, or other tech hobbies…skyrocketing component prices aren't exactly helping.So…is it actually harder to be a nerd in 2026?We break down the current state of movies, television, gaming, physical media, PC hardware, and some of the biggest franchises in geek culture to figure out whether we're genuinely living through a nerd apocalypse — or if this is just another rough era before things inevitably get better.From Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, PlayStation, gaming, physical media, PC gaming, and more, there's a LOT to unpack.

Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 3 takes us on a 180 degree turn (albeit psychedelic) from Episode 2. Alpha crew is in desperate need of some R & R before a very tense peace negotiations so of course they head to a pleasure planet (but not Risa) where the atmosphere sends them on each of their own "journeys". What ensues reminds us of a combination between The Hangover, Dude Where's My Car?, and other various ridiculous comedies. The real question is does this episode work? Let us know!

Is she a gold digger, entitled…or is her boyfriend just being chivalrous?Today on The Treehouse Show, we dive into a Reddit relationship debate about a guy who always pays for his girlfriend. His friend wants to know why she never seems to pick up the check or buy anything. Is she taking advantage of him? Is he spoiling her? Or is this just old-school chivalry?Then we meet a couple on the COMPLETE opposite end of the relationship spectrum. This guy has been living off his girlfriend for THREE YEARS, and in all that time, he's bought her exactly one earring. Not earrings. AN earring. Somehow, that's not even the weirdest relationship story we've discussed.Celebrity birthdays send us down another rabbit hole: actors who milk one role for their entire career. From Chris Hemsworth and Ellen Pompeo to William Shatner, when an actor becomes permanently associated with one character, were they typecast—or did they hit the career jackpot?Plus, Trey saw the new Spider-Man movie, so he and Dan break down what they liked, what they didn't, and where it fits in the Spider-Man universe.Finally, we close today's show on a much more personal note.

JJ and Tucker turn the microphone toward artificial intelligence, podcast SEO, ChatGPT, privacy, Star Trek, banking, cash, Myspace, social media, and one unforgettable Yoo-hoo story. That leads into a deeper conversation about AI privacy, personalization, search history, digital memory, and the strange intimacy of telling an artificial intelligence things you might not want anyone else to read. Tucker connects the moment to Star Trek: The Next Generation, especially the Professor Moriarty holodeck episodes, and the way science fiction imagined conversational computers, artificial consciousness, and digital beings trapped inside machines. From there, JJ and Tucker move into money, banks, credit cards, data, and whether physical bank branches still have a future. They talk about cash, coins, pennies, Ninja Turtle coin banks, gold, diamonds, street value versus insurable value, the stock market, ringing the New York Stock Exchange bell, and the history of being given a key to the city. Finally, JJ and Tucker close things out with Yoo-hoo, Warped Tour, a truly cursed chugging contest, Malcolm in the Middle, Bryan Cranston's roller-skating intensity, and JJ's firm declaration that he is never building another deck again. It's a wide-ranging JJ Meets World episode about AI, podcasting, privacy, money, nostalgia, social media, Star Trek, physical cash, and the weird future that somehow already arrived.

Hello! And welcome to season to the newest episode of The Dana Gould Hour podcast. Fasten your enthusiasm harness, we are blasting off, yet again. We have two, count 'em, two, fantastic guests today. Richard Edlund is a legend. In his amazing career, he is known first and foremost as one of the founders of ILM, Industrial Light & Magic, which created the special effects for a little film called Star Wars, and revolutionized how movies were made in Hollywood. But that is just the tip of the iceberg, Edlund began his career in the late '50s early '60s. When you watch on old episode of the original Addams Family TV show, that's Richard Edlund's hand coming out of the box as Thing. He designed the font for the original Star Trek ,and on and on and on. Also, Dave Bertolino is here. Dave is the creator of Spooky World, founded in Berlin, Massachusetts, the middle of nowhere! Spooky World became a nationally known horror theme park attraction. It started from nothing, and immediately became HUGE. Dave has a new book out entitled Behind The Screams At Spooky World and he'll be here to discuss that. Who looks like an accountant but is close pals with Linda Blair, Tom Savini and Alice Cooper? Dave Bertolino, that's who. True Tales From Weirdsville tells the tale of schlockmeister par excellence William Castle. From Emergo to Percepto to Illusiono, William Castle was the gimmick king of b-movies. Larger than life, stranger than fiction, more real than any reality you can conjure, Mr. William Castle. There are some great live performances coming up, so check out the events page at www.danagould.com/events/! And now, it's on, to our filthy business.
