It’s almost time for “Starfleet Academy,” but before we sit down to watch the newest “Star Trek” series, we’ve got to wrap up our “Wreath of Khan” series with a look at “Star Trek Into Darkness.” Khan is in it (spoilers!), but should he be? What makes this movie work, and where does it fall apart? Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Mark and Niall continue their Star Trek franchise discussion by talking about the 2013 blockbuster Star Trek Into Darkness. Directed by J.J. Abrams, and starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldaña, and Benedict “Definitely Not Khan” Cumberbatch, the movie focuses on what happens when the Enterprise crew battle a super soldier named John Harrison. In this episode, they also talk about plot twists, fist fights, and radioactive reactor chambers. Enjoy!

This week, we're fixin' to do somethin' dumber than hell but we're gonna do it anyway, as we close out No-Theme-ber by circling back to the coin-flip best movie of 2007, a gravely serious and barbed-wire-taut neo-western crime thriller that the Coens still manage to sneak an enormous amount of low-key goofy comedy into. It's 2007's No Country For Old Men, written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, based on the book by Cormac McCarthy, and starring Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, Kelly Macdonald, Garrett Dillahunt, Tess Harper, Barry Corbin, Beth Grant and Stephen Root. It's Hayley's nomination for November's canon consideration as we use the last Friday of the month to induct another classic into the pod pantheon. Plus: J Mo's trip to Gladiator II has us recounting memorable bad audience behavior from our years of going to the theater. If you'd like to watch this week's movie before listening to our discussion, No Country For Old Men is now streaming on both Amazon Prime and Netflix in Canada at the time of publication. Other works referenced in this episode include Wicked, The Stand (1994), The Stand (2020), Station Eleven, Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters: Answer The Call, Super 8, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Fabelmans, The Holdovers, Transformers One, Jack Reacher, Robin Hood (2010), Abigail, Maximum Overdrive, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, The Blues Brothers, The Big Lebowski, Grindhouse, There Will Be Blood, Inherent Vice, W. and Deadpool 2 among countless others. We'll be back next week to kick off another theme month as the last month of 2024 sees the return of A DePalmber to ReMalmber! That's right, we're going back to the well for DePalmber: Part De, which begins next Friday with The Untouchables, and continues with Body Double and our December canon entry, Blow Out. (We'll take a quick break from DePalma to celebrate Shaqmas with Shaquille O'Neal in Blue Chips.) Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek Beyond Whereas the 2009 Reboot and Star Trek Into Darkness made characters one of it's key focuses, Star Trek Beyond decides on a more comfortable, if not safe, route in storytelling. Star Trek Beyond feels much more like a popcorn action flick where the characters and their developments are simple and thin. They basically feel more like The Next Generation movies: the depth was in previous stories, this is just them on a new adventure. Now, in this instance I was already familiar with the characters, so enjoying these characters wasn't anywhere near as hard. But it feels like a huge step back when you get to know characters like Kirk and Spock in this iteration. But since this is a popcorn movie, that means no other characters get added depth to make them feel more fleshed out. They are as they were in the previous two films. This also is doubly true with the companion Jaylah, played by Sofia Boutella and the villain Krall, played in heavy makeup by Idris Elba. Neither character is interesting in anyway, but they also don't exactly hurt the film...they are just there to move the plot along. But as a popcorn movie, Star Trek Beyond is solid. Action sequences are fun with some good visuals. Set pieces are well done enough to keep the viewer entertained. But the planet the film is based on (a planet I can't even bother to remember the name of) is also not that interesting and just feels like a slab of rocks and non-descript mountains. Finally, the film goes on a little too long for its own good. At about two hours, you'd think that it's the right amount of time for a Star Trek film since many of them hit that mark or even higher. But the lack of character development and growth just means it meanders into more exposition to get into action sequences. If I'm being honest, Star Trek Beyond is a fine enough time to kill two hours. But compared to the reboot and Into Darkness, it's a marked step down when it comes to characters and story.
Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek Into Darkness Star Trek Into Darkness has all of the things that made the reboot film good: it has a great cast with great characters continuing their adventures and arcs in a satisfyingly entertaining film. This goes doubly for Zachary Quinto as Spock, who is furthering the depth of the Vulcan with his struggle between being both Vulcan and Human. The charm and the likability of these characters are just as good as they were in the previous film...if not more so. ...until the end of the first act that is. After that, the film screeches into a thriller/drama halt that, as entertaining as it is, seems to falter in its self-seriousness. Mind you, the thriller aspects are pretty good: the action is exciting and the plot moves along to keep these aspects of the film engaging. It's the drama portion that doesn't work quite as well: the drama with Spock and everyone else is done well, but the relationship between Pike and Kirk? Not so much. In fact, the drama with Kirk feels a tad forced. What also doesn't work? The villain of the film, John Harrison, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Wait wait...that's not exactly true. Cumberbatch as Harrison is actually pretty good. He does well in the action parts of the film and plays a very calculated and cold killer quite well. -----SPOILERS FOR Star Trek Into Darkness STARTS HERE--------- When the villain becomes a problem is when it is revealed who John Harrison really is: Khan. Then...things get slippery real fast. Now, it is true that they have to change up characters in a reboot to make it feel fresh...but there are aspects of Cumberbatch's Khan that doesn't fit right. Lack of charisma, how stone faced his performance is...how much he plays TOO WELL into the supervillain role. Ricardo Montalban's performance led you to believe he could lead and people would want to, despite being a sneering, despicable villain. Cumberbatch really doesn't. On top of that, the film likes to reference The Wrath of Khan way too much...and none of it really fits well with the rest of the film. ---------SPOILERS END-------------- This leads to a weird result with the film: it's good only in the parts that remind you of the reboot film. But when it reminds you of what's in the spoiler section, it actually feels a lot messier than it needs to. The result is a film that will entertain you with it's heroes' plight but will make you shake your head when it leads to the villain.

Hello, and welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week I'm chatting with Ramsey Avery, the Production Designer behind Disney & Hulu's sci-fi horror film 'No One Will Save You'. Written and directed by Brian Duffield, ‘No One Will Save You' follows Brynn (Kaitlyn Dever), an exiled anxiety-ridden homebody, who must battle an alien that found its way into her home. What makes the movie particularly unique is that it features only 5 words of dialogue in the entire movie. This made Ramsey's job an interesting challenge as he needed to help showcase all of the unspoken storytelling through his production design. It meant that his sets and designs had to be intricately planned and executed to make up for lack of words and to use the world around the main character to explain everything from who Brynn is and her backstory to the reasoning behind her choices and her relationships with other people in town with whom she only has a single non-verbal interaction.It's a fantastic little film, and if you're in the UK you can watch it right now on Disney+, or in the USA you can find it on Hulu.In the interview, we not only discuss Ramsey's work on ‘No One Will Save You', but also his impressive back catalogue of projects including ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power', ‘Minority Report', ‘Star Trek Into Darkness', and ‘Team America: World Police'. He's also worked on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2', ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming' and the upcoming ‘Captain America: Brave New World'. Plus, he has designed various theme park attractions, including the Avengers Campus at Disney's California Adventure. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown. Hosted on Acast.

I wanted to take a deep dive into the marketing side of screenwriting today because it is in fact, a necessity in the industry today. Unfortunately, not many writers bother themselves as much about marketing their work. While I have some course resources on the IFH Academy website to help writers pitch stories or to get past the gatekeepers and so on, I thought it would be favorable to have marketing and development exec, Felicity Wren on the show to delve into the subject. Felicity started off in this business as an actor and now is a producer and VP of Development at the International Screenwriters Association (ISA). ISA (Est 2008), is a screenwriters community and resource platform that allows branding, marketing screenplays to producers and provide learning resources for seasoned and new writers. To date, ISA subscribers include 5,104 Industry Pros, approximately 70,000 Screenwriters, and 8,039 resources for screenwriters. Definitely, a goldmine!Felicity trained academically across the performing arts sphere (writing, directing, acting technique, and script analysis). She pursued acting and appeared in films like Star Trek Into Darkness, The Battle of Hogwarts, Tales of Uplift and Moral Improvement, and more, but lost interest in the competitive reality and stress of waiting for the callback.So, she pivots. Alongside her partner, she launched a theater company, Unrestricted View (1999) in London that worked primarily with new professional creatives. A decade later, Felicity moved to Hollywood to seek the bigger dream.Some of Wren's work includes short films like The Trap, Homeless Realtor, Who's Who, The Force, and several others. At the ISA, she get's to work directly with the Program Writers, and ISA Contest Winners, ensuring their projects get in front of eminent producers, managers, and agents in Hollywood.For screenwriters trying to sell a script, you have to know your voice and feel comfortable using it beyond your incredible writing. Understanding what you bring to the table is key in every profession. Of course. Coupling that with some marketing tools can propel you for higher success. That's why this conversation is important.Enjoy my very informative conversation with Felicity Wren.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2664729/advertisement

In this episode, Erica S. Bream (Altered Carbon, Star Trek Into Darkness, Echoes) and Cara Chute Rosenbaum (American Crime Story, The Mindy Project, The League) discuss the ups and downs of being actors in the industry. They held a Script Analysis Workshop with The Membership that was so good that I immediately enrolled in their Script Analysis Course. They are sharing knowledge I wish I would have known years ago, and I'm bringing that to you all in this episode. They share their experiences with casting auditions, navigating the post-strike landscape, and the importance of community and mental health. They also talk about what script analysis is, why it is so important, and why every actor needs to do the deep dive script analysis work on every audition they get. If you're an actor looking for guidance from the people who help us get our dream gigs, this is a must-listen.
