Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock are built around one key piece of technology which may or may not have real world implications.“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!”Admiral James Tiberius Kirk, 2285There are countless reasons why fans love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Up until that point, it was the most action-packed installment of Star Trek ever put on screen, so that certainly has something to do with it. William Shatner delivers an all-time great career performance in this one as Admiral James T. Kirk, full of downright Shakespearean drama with his old enemy, the diabolical Khan Noonien Singh. It's got at least one of the most memorable, shocking, and poignant moments in franchise history. Or maybe it's just Ricardo Montalban's magnificent chest. Who's to say?But possibly lost amidst all that magnificence is the fact that The Wrath of Khan is built around a truly great piece of science fiction with the Genesis Device. A project designed to help Starfleet terraform barren worlds is also potentially the ultimate weapon in the galaxy, given that in creating new life it first has to wipe out anything else that's there. Of course the wrong people want to get their grubby mitts on it!In this episode we're diving into just what it would take to truly terraform an alien world, and whether the Genesis Device follows its own rules in the Star Trek universe. Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…SUGGESTED VIEWING Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanYou mean to tell us you're watching or listening to a Roddenberry podcast and you somehow haven't seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? We sure hope you watched it before this episode spoiled the absolute hell out of it for you! But in all seriousness, there's a reason this is the most critically acclaimed and beloved Star Trek movie of all time and why we chose it for this week's topic. Star Trek III: The Search for SpockBut also, you can't watch The Wrath of Khan (or get a full picture of the scope of the Genesis Device's implications) without also watching Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Forget that even number/odd number nonsense about the Star Trek movies, this one is just as essential!Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1 Episode 22 “Space Seed”And just in case you've never done this, we also highly recommend “Space Seed” which first introduced Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh. It doesn't have anything to do with terraforming in space, but it's a classic bit of Star Trek lore, nonetheless!The Evolution of Planet EarthWant a real life taste of what the Genesis Device does…except over the course of millions/billions of years instead of minutes/hours? This video is pretty cool.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! TerraformingWhile still primarily a science fiction concept, the idea of using terraforming to make a planet or moon into something that can support life as we know it is gaining considerable steam as we look to our nearest neighbor, Mars. See also: Bionengineering“Is there life on…Venus?”Wait, that's not how the song goes! But the key here is that while Mars gets all the attention as the planet in our solar system with the most potential to support life, there's also a chance that Venus could, as well. Key to that is the presence of phosphine in the atmosphere, which scientists have gone back and forth on, but recently found new evidence that it may be present.“PIXAAAAAAR!”Read more about that funny connection between a beloved animation studio and these beloved Trek movies here.“Colonized by earth bacteria”It doesn't take long, just to give you an idea of how quickly “life finds a way.”The Mars TrilogyTamara brings up Kim Stanley Robinson's acclaimed trilogy about terraforming our nearest planetary neighbor, Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. There's also the follow-up The Martians which is a collection of short stories that expands this universe further.Project Hail MaryAnother Tamara recommendation this week is the Hugo Award-nominated Project Hail Mary from sci-fi author Andy Weir. You might also recognize Weir's name as the author of The Martian, which was adapted into a beloved film from director Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.The Wrath of Khan: The Novel!Even if you've seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan dozens of times, Vonda N. McIntyre's superb novelization of the film is full of surprises that will enrich your understanding of the story and your love of Trek in general. For extra credit, follow it up with her equally great (possibly better than the film it's based on!) novelization of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Go back to the very beginning with the first ever episode of Does it Fly? which tackled another iconic Star Trek concept: the transporter. Watch it right here!We're not particularly big on the whole Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate around these parts, so for those folks who love ‘em both, check out our episode on lightsabers right here!FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

It's time to kick off our first marathon of the year! This year, Christian is in charge of January, and he's taking us back in time to 1982 to discuss the work of special effects royalty. George Lucas formed Industrial Light & Magic to take care of the special effects for 1977's Star Wars. After working on 3 films from 1977-1981, ILM took a leap and took care of the special effects for 5 major films in 1982, including E.T. and Conan the Barbarian. We're taking a look at the 3 films we haven't seen to cross off some blindspots, starting with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan! Trekkies, this one is for you. The sequel to Star Trek: The Motion Picture (as well as an episode from the original run of the TV show), Wrath of Khan features the crew of the Enterprise facing off against Khan, a genetically modified warlord who has spent 15 years marooned on a deserted planet. Featuring legendary performances from William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Ricardo Montalban, this film has surpassed its franchise trappings to become a beloved sci-fi classic in its own right.

This week, we're chasing Jack The Ripper through time from 19th century London to 1970s San Francisco and falling in love along the way as SepTIMEber continues with one of the goofier movies we've ever watched for the show. It's 1979's Time After Time, written and directed by Nicholas Meyer and starring Malcolm McDowell, David Warner and Mary Steenburgen. It's a film J Mo torrented more than 15 years ago while searching for an MP3 of the Cyndi Lauper song of the same, it's a tenuous application of our podcast criteria but we'll allow it when the film is this fun. The debut picture from a man who would go on to direct Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan -- with writing and directing credits on several other notable Trek films as well -- it is a great showcase for the energy he can bring to a movie, and the film's clumsier moments lend it a boyish charm befitting of McDowell's portrayal H.G. Wells. It's not a great movie but there's something about it that is worth tracking down. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along this week, you may have a difficult time doing so because Time After Time is not available anywhere on streaming, but is currently rentable on YouTube at the time of publication. Other works discussed on this episode include The Leftovers, Devs, Lost, Evil, The Fall Guy, Speak No Evil, The Fabelmans, Licorice Pizza, Jurassic Park III, Step-Brothers, Will & Harper, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Backspot, Timeline, The Time Machine, A Clockwork Orange, Star Trek Generations, Wayne's World, Primer, Zodiac, Back to the Future Part III, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Bones and In Time. We'll be back next week to wrap up SepTIMEber, as Hayley's got the keys to the vault yet again and has put forth the Rachel McAdams 2012 time-travel romance About Time as our monthly consideration for induction into the pod-canon. Similar to the last few movies we've covered, About Time is unfortunately not available to stream at the moment in Canada, though maybe in time that will change. Once again it is rentable on YouTube and via the Cineplex app. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
Show notes provided by Jack Adrien How does a rejuvenated science fiction franchise follow arguably the best installment in its long-standing television and movie series? Well, if it's the decades-long Star Trek franchise and following Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan's (Khan's) critical and commercial success, Paramount Pictures greenlit for producer Harve Bennett to write a sequel the day after Khan opened. But how would that work? We watched and mourned Mr. Spock's heroic sacrifice to save the Enterprise and her crew, marking the “death” of not only one of the franchise's most beloved and well-known characters, but also a character that embodies the science fiction genre. And Leonard Nimoy, the actor who brought Mr. Spock to life, had long expressed his frustration with the weight of playing the character, most notably in his first autobiography released in 1975, I Am Not Spock. With Khan, did Paramount grant Nimoy's wish? Whereas Star Trek: The Motion Picture rebooted the franchise for cinema audiences, Khan reintroduced a memorable antagonist from one of the series' first season episodes. Although the third film in the Star Trek film franchise,Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (Search) marked the second part of what many consider a three-film story arc – beginning with Khan released in 1982 and ending with 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Voyage) – that shows how the original series characters accept aging in the franchise's world building. Within this loose narrative trilogy, Captain James T. Kirk met his son, David Marcus – neither of whom had met before – and Kirk witnessed the death of his best friend, Mr. Spock, in Khan. And in a startling reversal, rogue Klingons kill Kirk's son and Mr. Spock is “resurrected” in Search. Memorably, to save his life and those of his crew, Kirk must kill the franchise's most central character in Search: The USS Enterpriseitself. Nestled as the story-arc's midpoint, Search allowed the Star Trek franchise to mature and move beyond its television series roots. Released three years before the successor television series in the franchise, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Search delivers on poignant story arcs for its characters, particularly William Shatner's portrayal of Kirk. As Paramount released more films over the years, the fandom (i.e., Trekkies) settled on an “Odd-Even Rule” (i.e., the even-numbered films are often considered better than the odd-numbered ones). But that shorthand has often overlooked and underrated Search's significance to the franchise. Foremost, Search marks Leonard Nimoy's motion picture directorial debut, deftly balancing action, humor, and tension. Nimoy later garnered acclaim for his direction of Voyage and Three Men and a Baby, respectively. Further, Search formally introduced the grammar, syntax, andvocabulary for the Klingon language. The constructed language gained greater notoriety when its creator, Marc Okrand, and Pocket Books published The Klingon Dictionary in 1985. Moreover, Nimoy cast Christopher Llyod against type as the primary Klingon antagonist, Commander Kruge, and whose standout performance paved the way for his later iconic role as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy. Lastly, Kirk's destruction of the USS Enterprise over the Genesis planet in Search would later introduce the USS Enterprise-A in Voyage, the replacement for the destroyedstarship, creating a legacy of distinguishing successor ships of the line with the next letter in the alphabet that has endured in the franchise. Join the Mint Condition crew of James, Joe, John, Josh, and Jack as we go behind the scenes and discus Search's history, our impressions when we saw the movie, and where the movie fits in the Star Trek film franchise today. Moreover, we discuss alternative castings and storylines, and does Search disprove the Odd-Even Rule. Because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many.
Are you ready for another round?! In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the rest of Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan. Does the second half of the movie hold up as well as the second?

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan The last time I remember a film series get so much better from one film to the next, it was the Harry Potter series when it went from Chamber of Secrets to Prisoner of Azkaban. Save for one issue, everything is a marked improvement from The Motion Picture to Wrath of Khan. There is a good story and plot that is paced real well: there's excitement, entertainment and intrigue throughout the film. On top of that, the characters are also very well done. In the last movies, everyone felt like Spocks: lifeless, husks of characters who barely show any difference between each other (save for Bones being a bit mean in spots or Scotty having an accent). In this film, all of the characters have interesting personalities that finally makes sense as to why people love these characters. Kirk's playful and reckless style is shown, Bones and his sarcasm....hell, Spock actually feels like a character in this! But the best character in the film is definitely Ricardo Montalban's Khan. Unlike the first movies' villain, Khan is an actual person! Ok ok...in all seriousness, it's a stark difference when the heroes have an actual good villain to bounce off of. Khan is deliciously evil and his overacting is actually quite fun when he gets into the film. But what's the one issue that Wrath of Khan doesn't do as good as The Motion Picture? The visuals, honestly. The film when it comes to special effects, models and the like aren't as visually compelling as the previous film. It's not terrible, but there is definitely a step down in the visual department. But man, it doesn't matter when the actual film in all other aspects are this good. From the exciting action to the heartbreaking ending, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the movie that the Star Trek series should have started with in the first place. It's a highly entertaining and in the end emotional wallop of a film.
In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the very popular Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan, at least the first half of it. We discuss some behind the scenes about the making of the film, and jump right into the adventure. Listen to hear what Stef and Chris think of it!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is beloved by fans of the franchise, and lauded as the best Star Trek movie, with Khan himself as one of the standout villains, and Spock's sacrifice and resulting death as an emotional high point.That wasn't always the case though. In fact, Spock's death was leaked to fans during production, and fans were not happy, even resorting to sending death threats to producer Robert Sallin.Sallin, though, is one of the MVPs of this whole production. He would never work on Star Trek (or really in Hollywood) again after this movie, but his influence, ideas and steady hand would lead The Wrath of Khan to becoming a fan favourite. He was a man who put decency and integrity above his own selfish gains. Gene Roddenberry was not happy about losing the creative control he had on Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but Paramount blamed him for a lot of the issues that movie had, and for the sequel, it would be a controlled affair, especially when it came to the budget... Please listen to Episode 259 for the history and legacy of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, because that story is integral to the setting up of this one...

On Episode 149 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis kicks off a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the premiere of STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK! This film is a 1984 American science-fiction action/drama written and produced by Harve Bennett, directed by Leonard Nimoy, and based on the television series Star Trek. It is the third film in the Star Trek franchise and is the second part of a three-film story arc that begins with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and concludes with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). After the death of Spock (Nimoy), the crew of the USS Enterprise return to Earth. When James T. Kirk (William Shatner) learns that Spock's spirit, or katra, is held in the mind of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Kirk and company steal the decommissioned USS Enterprise to return Spock's body to his homeworld. The crew must also contend with hostile Klingons, led by Kruge (Christopher Lloyd), who are bent on stealing the secrets of the powerful terraforming device, Genesis. Assisting Curtis in this endeavor in an exclusive interview is ROBIN CURTIS, the actress who portrayed Lt. Saavik in the film. Before Star Trek III, Robin had already made several film and made-for-television movie appearances. Her performance in the film drew a mixed reception from Trek fans, since she replaced Kirstie Alley (who portrayed Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). She reprised the role of Saavik for a brief appearance in 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and also in the podcast series Starship Excelsior. Curtis and Robin had a great discussion about the making of the film, and how it is her first and biggest acting role. Please connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.

Horner wrote music for dozens of movies, including Titanic, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Avatar. Horner was the sole occupant of a high-performance Tucano turboprop aircraft. He crashed while performing a number of low-level maneuvers. John and Todd discuss the findings of the accident report. They ask key questions about the accident that were not answered by the NTSB. The report does not indicate whether Horner, who had nearly 900 hours of flight experience and nearly 80 hours in the make and model of the accident aircraft, had experience performing the kinds of maneuvers performed during the accident flight.

In our analysis of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, we join Admiral James T. Kirk and his Starfleet friends as they are once again pulled into a risky adventure. Since his infamous attempted coup on the Enterprise 15 years ago, Khan Noonien Singh is noticeably more emotional, ragged from years of hard survivorship on an inhospitable planet, but he's also deeply preoccupied with revenge. But as both the film and science can attest, achieving revenge is rarely as satisfying or as personally rewarding as we hope it will be.
For this episode of Making Movies Great Again, Sebastian and Chris Kohls, AKA "Mr. Reagan," review the iconic "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," from its surprisingly cheap production value, to how it succeeded despite its director having never seen an episode of "Star Trek" before.Support the show: https://www.sebgorka.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
