Authors John and Maria Jose Tenuto return to The Trek Files to share a seemingly ordinary filming notice distributed to guests at the Monterey Bay Aquarium during production of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. But for John, it's much more than a production handout, it's a family keepsake. In April 1986, John's parents unknowingly visited the aquarium on a day when Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, and the Star Trek IV cast were filming. They saved the notice, recorded the production on a home VHS camcorder, and brought home an extraordinary piece of behind-the-scenes history. Decades later, that footage and flyer helped document one of the franchise's most beloved films. Larry, John, and Mary Jo explore the logistics of filming at a working public aquarium, Leonard Nimoy's commitment to the film's environmental message, and how a family vacation unexpectedly became part of Star Trek history.

This week we discuss the final of the Spock/Genesis Trilogy of the original Star Trek Movie. Along with X-Men '97 and Sony's ending of game discs.

This week on Myopia Movies, we boldly go… to 1986 San Francisco. Yes, this week's summer rerun is Star Trek IV, the one where the fate of the galaxy depends on two humpback whales and the crew's ability to not completely blow their cover in the past (they fail immediately). Join us as we explore the most charmingly bizarre entry in the franchise—a sci-fi film with no real villain, a heavy dose of environmentalism, and more comedy than you'd expect from a crew that usually debates ethics at warp speed. We tackle the big questions: Is Spock relearning humanity… or just deeply confused by 20th-century profanity? How does James T. Kirk manage to save the planet while also committing multiple federal crimes? And is this the only blockbuster where the central conflict could be solved by a really well-funded aquarium? Featuring time travel hijinks, transparent aluminum, and perhaps the most wholesome mission in Star Trek history, this episode dives into why The Voyage Home feels less like a space epic and more like a cosmic field trip that somehow works perfectly. Also: we attempt to explain the plot to someone who has never seen Star Trek, which mostly results in us sounding like conspiracy theorists yelling about whales. Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you? Purchase something from our wish list!  We are riffers on Cineprov! Check us out!! How will Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home hold up? Directed by: Leonard Nimoy Starring: William Shatner as Admiral James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Spock DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy James Doohan as Montgomery Scott George Takei as Hikaru Sulu Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov Nichelle Nichols as Uhura Catherine Hicks as Dr. Gillian Taylor

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 17: 400 Tonnen Wal, ein beleidigter Spock & klingonischer Gegenwind! Kirk will nur schnell zurück ins 23. Jahrhundert, aber Gillian Taylor denkt sich: schöne Zeitreise, ich komme mit. Also hebt die getarnte Bounty aus dem Golden Gate Park ab, wirbelt Jogger:innen um, sucht Wale auf einer viel zu groben Frequenz und steuert mit fragwürdiger Physik Richtung Beringsee. Ganz normaler Dienstag in San Francisco, nur mit mehr Buckelwal und weniger funktionierender Kausalität. In dieser Folge rechnen wir uns durch Scottys berühmte 400 Tonnen, erklären, warum 401 Megahertz gleichzeitig erstaunlich gut und absolut unbrauchbar ist, schauen auf das Presidio als zukünftigen Sitz der Sternenflotte und erleben McCoy in Höchstform, wenn er Spock mit einem einzigen Satz liebevoll diagnostiziert. Dazu: Transporter-Horror, Full Impulse als atmosphärischer Scheibenvernichter und die Frage, ob Star Trek gerade aus einem alten Militärposten eine Zukunft baut, die endlich etwas gelernt hat.

The Trek Files welcomes back visual effects veteran Stuart Ziff for a firsthand trip into the making of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. This time, the documents are original production call sheets from April 1986, detailing the now-legendary "B-Tank" shoot where the Klingon Bird-of-Prey splashed down into San Francisco Bay with George and Gracie the humpback whales. Stu recalls the practical filmmaking wizardry behind the scenes: giant wave machines, lightning rigs, whale effects, and an enormous outdoor water tank built on the Paramount lot. Along the way, he shares stories about building a mechanical whale eye (for the wrong side of the whale), experimenting with blue dye for the tank water, and watching old Hollywood effects crews create movie magic in real time. Larry and Stu also circle back to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Stu's experiences during the turbulent Robert Abel & Associates era, including a revealing memory involving a young Paramount executive named Jeffrey Katzenberg. It's a fond look back at the kind of filmmaking that required wind machines, carbon-arc lightning effects, scuba divers, towels, and "wetsuits for cast and crew." Plus: Stu discusses the new documentary being produced about his life and career, and how fans can help support it.

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 16: McCoy betritt ein Krankenhaus der 80er und reagiert ungefähr so entspannt wie ein Vulkanier auf Improtheater. In dieser Episode sprechen wir über Chekovs Kopftrauma, epidurale Hämatome, Operationsmethoden damals und heute, McCoys medizinischen Furor, „Image Therapy“, 80er-Onkologie, Nierenregeneration per Zukunftspille und die Frage, ob unsere heutige Medizin in 300 Jahren vielleicht auch wie höflich beleuchtetes Mittelalter wirkt. Außerdem geht es um Spock nach seiner Wiedergeburt: Der neue Spock entfernt sich sichtbar vom vulkanischen Utilitarismus. McCoy behandelt Chekov nicht als Missionsrisiko, sondern als Zweck an sich. Kant hätte applaudiert. Innerlich. Wahrscheinlich. Unterstützt uns:

„Braucht die Welt noch Satire, wo die Welt doch schon Satire ist?“ fragt Sarah Bosettis heutiger Gast, der Kabarettist Claus von Wagner gleich zu Beginn. Bewirkt Kabarett noch etwas? „Nee“, sagt Wagner.„Denn Kabarett ist für den Arsch.“ Zugegeben, klingt ein wenig negativ diese Erkenntnis, sie war aber Ausgangspunkt seines neuen Programms. Generell stimmt Sarah ihm zu, denn heute wird Realität immer öfter zur Satire und nimmt den Satirikern den Job weg. Beide machen natürlich weiter, können aber dem ersten Thema "Kriminalstatistik" so viel Satirisches nicht abgewinnen, geht es doch wieder um Nicht–Deutsche und Zugewanderte, die laut Innenminister Dobrindt gemäß Ihres Bevölkerungsanteils überdurchschnittlich ausgewiesen sind. Für diesen Hinweis wurde er heftig kritisiert. Statistik zieht halt immer auch den „Tanz um die Statistik“ nach sich, wie Claus es bezeichnet und jeder liest das raus, was für ihn/sie nützlich ist. Sarah weist darauf hin, dass die soziale Situation von Zuwanderern oft vergessen wird, da müsse mehr hingeschaut und verbessert werden. Junge Männer sind das Problem findet sie, ob deutsch oder nicht deutsch. Aber, nicht "der Mann an sich" ist das Problem unserer Gesellschaft, sondern das Patriachat und deren Männlichkeitsbild. Es ist halt komplex, übrigens laut Sarah auch der Feminismus, denn der besteht ja auch nicht darin, allen Männern den Pimmel abzuschneiden ... „Wär auch viel Arbeit." (!) „Timmy“ ist Thema 2, das Schicksal des Buckelwals. Was lernen wir daraus? Dass wir noch Empathie haben. Gott sei Dank! Ansonsten ist natürlich ein großes Stück Doppelmoral mit im Spiel. Wir lassen Arten zu Tausenden täglich sterben, aber wir fiebern live mit dem einen Wal. Wie wäre es, wenn wir Tieren, die wir essen auch Namen geben würden, fragt sich Claus. Würde das an unserer Empathie etwas ändern? Sarah stellt fest, dass der Wal, je länger er da liegt, auch politisch wird. Irgendwann kommen wahrscheinlich die Gegner und beschimpfen ihn als faulen Schmarotzer, der Ressourcen verschlingt, nie was geleistet und schon gar nichts eingezahlt hat. Noch ist es nicht so weit, aber - Achtung Wortspiel - in MeckPom könnte der Wal die Wahl entscheiden. Am Ende gibt's noch einen unglaublichen Fun Fact, der mit Buckelwalen und Star Trek IV zu tun hat und mit dem man bei jeder Stehparty garantiert Punkte macht.

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 15: Ein Hubschrauber schwebt über dem Park, Scotty taucht halb aus dem Nichts auf, Gillian Taylor rennt gegen ein getarntes Raumschiff – und schreit sich anschließend einfach durch den Beamvorgang hindurch. Alles völlig normal. Klar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die berühmte Parkszene aus Star Trek IV und darüber, wie sie 1986 wahrscheinlich gedreht wurde: also nicht mit heutiger Komfort-CGI, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich mit klassischer optischer Tricktechnik, Bluescreen, Matte-Arbeit und ILM-Zauberei aus der photochemischen Ära. Wir schauen dazu auf ein spannendes Interview mit Kameramann Don Peterman bei der American Society of Cinematographers. Außerdem: – Warum Gillians durchgehender Schrei beim Beamen physikalisch erstaunlich plausibel ist – Warum Beamen trotzdem energetisch kompletter Irrsinn bleibt – Was Metin Tolan dazu sagt – Warum Kirk Gillian „Alice“ nennt – Welche Rolle Alice im Wunderland sonst noch in Star Trek spielt – Warum die Aussage, die Wale seien schon in Alaska, zoologisch eher unter Fantasy fällt – Und was es mit dem Mission District in San Francisco wirklich auf sich hat Mit anderen Worten: Wir reden über Filmtricks, Physik, Lewis Carroll, Buckelwale, Kolonialgeschichte, Murals und ein Krankenhausproblem namens Chekov. Also über genau die Dinge, die man von einem entspannten Star-Trek-Abend erwartet. #StarTrek #StarTrekIV #TheVoyageHome #DiscoveryPanel #Kirk #Spock #Scotty #GillianTaylor #Chekov #Sulu #Uhura #ILM #DonPeterman #Beamen #Transporter #Buckelwale #MissionDistrict #SanFrancisco #StarTrekPodcast

On Episode 148 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, we're back talking Star Trek as we continue our coverage of the original crew's big screen adventures. Having already covered the first three films for each of their 40th anniversaries, it's now the turn of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which brought an end to the “Genesis Trilogy” consisting of the second, third and fourth Trek films, where the story in each film follows directly into the next. Following the death and destruction of The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock, returning director and star, Leonard Nimoy, wanted a lighter tone as well as a strong ecological message, that of whale preservation, and both of these aspects, coupled with our crew playing fish out of water in a San Francisco 300 years in their past, helped the film become the most financially successful Star Trek film of them all and a firm favourite among fans. So join Skye and returning co-hosts John Arminio, Bill Scurry and Adam Rackoff in a celebration of the 40th anniversary of one of the very best Star Trek adventures. 

Comenzamos el episodio con la tertulia sobre la T3 de Strange New Worlds que, para nosotros, sigue en buena forma y, a pesar de sus excesos humorísticos, la hemos disfrutado tanto como la T2. Hasta tal punto que casi calcamos la duración de las tertulias, fueron 1h32m para la T2, y han sido 1h33m para la T3, que os podéis saltar si queréis evitar spoilers e ir directamente al episodio de TNG. En ‘Force of Nature', tenemos un episodio ecologista, con acciones estilo Greenpeace, de denuncia de la contaminación producida por los vehículos de combustión, representado en este caso por el motor de curvatura. El resultado final, una limitación a Warp 5, equivalente a la zona verde, pero un episodio muy flojo, especialmente si lo comparamos con el resultado de Star Trek IV, con una temática también ecologista, pero una ejecución excelente.

Please turn off your cellphones and prepare two to beam up as we sling shot around the sun and have some fun with the best Star Trek movie of all the ever times...shit, I guess it's clear who writes these descriptions now, huh? For our 86th Commentary we hit warp 9.9 and head all the way back to 1986 for this impeccable flick starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, Catherine Hicks, and Walter Keonig! Join us as we talk about being gifted, potentially welcome new listeners, put our hair up with our dick slings, talk about all kinds of behind the scenes goodness, and just enjoy ourselves watchin' a good old fashion Trek flick!

On this third installment of Febwhaleary we take a look at perhaps the largest acrobats in the sea: the humpback whale. Known for their extraordinary feats of agility, as well as a complex series of songs that they sing to one another, the humpbacks were truly one of the most graceful creatures ever to inhabit the oceans. Unfortunately, the humpbacks would be hunted to extinction in the early 21st century…or so we thought. To understand the fate of the humpbacks, one must look not into the future…but into the past. The year 1986; using a stolen Klingon bird of prey, a group of disgraced Starfleet officers from the 23rd century would travel backwards through time to save, not only the humpbacks, but indeed all of humanity from extinction. The following is a dramatization of those events that we like to call Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we lay down a series of colorful metaphors are fellow cinephiles and life long members of the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito, Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include the Enterprise crew's laissez faire attitude towards time travel; we analyze where the alien space probe falls on the Bristol Stool Scale; and finally, we break down the age old fallacy of the odd numbered Trek's being shit.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, Follow Us on Instagram, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.comAnd with the whales safely transported to the 23rd century, this leg of our voyage is now over. When Febwhaleary concludes, we'll be taking a look at one of the rarest whale species on the planet…the Comeback Whale, as we watch Darren Aronofsky's 2022 Oscar Winner, The Whale.

The movies freed Willy, but what about Keiko? For the second part of our trilogy on the biggest aquatic star of the 90s, deep sea correspondent Brianna Bowman takes Sarah through Keiko's journey to the Oregon Coast Aquarium for rehabilitation and the developing plan to return him to the open ocean. But first, both marine scientists and rich benefactors have to try to teach a killer whale to be wild again. Digressions include the books of Jean Craighead George, the tragedy of the puns we missed, regurgitated meat influencers, and Star Trek IV. Produced + edited by Miranda ZicklerMore Brianna Bowman:Brianna's WebsiteSupport Brianna's new podcast Rewilding Keiko on Patreon Submit a voicemail with your memories of Keiko at rewildingpodcast@outlook.com (Brianna's Note: yes, Outlook!

In this very special episode of The Trek Files, actor Robin Curtis joins us to revisit a little-known chapter in Saavik's story, one that never made it to screen. Drawing from a pair of early Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home script drafts, we explore a scene that implies Saavik is pregnant with Spock's child, a narrative thread begun in Star Trek III but quietly dropped by the time the final film was released. Robin shares warm memories of working with Leonard Nimoy, the late Harve Bennett, and her fellow castmates, as well as a few eye-opening truths about the unpredictability of Hollywood. Plus, she discusses her return to the role of Saavik in OTOY's Unification, and we recreate the pivotal, never-filmed scene between Kirk and Saavik. It's an emotional, candid, and deeply human conversation about legacy, missed opportunities, and what it means to carry a character with you for decades. Documents and additional references: First Draft (August 23, 1985): Conversation between Kirk and Saavik revealing her pregnancy by Spock.

Mark Mangini is a six-time Oscar-nominated, two-time Oscar-winning Sound Designer. He won his Oscars for Dune and Mad Max Fury Road. Mark's also well known for designing sound for numerous films, including: Blade Runner 2049, Star Treks I, IV and V, Beauty and the Beast, TheFifthElement, Space Jam, Poltergeist,Gremlins, Aladdin, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, among many more.Mark has spent his 49-year career in Hollywood imagining and composing altered sonic realities for motion pictures. He's a frequent lecturer, an outspoken proponent for sound as art, and a guitarist/songwriter with compositions that can be heard in sex, lies and videotape, Star Trek IV, and more.Mark believes that all organized sound is music. He sees his work in movies as every bit a composition as those of Beethoven and the Beatles. He just happens to use dissonance, melodic content and arrhythmia to its fullest advantage. His work is no less considered, designed, created or manipulated. It just isn't usually what we think of as hummable.His first job in the entertainment industry was at the age of 19 in the sound department of Hanna Barbera Studios making funny noises for children's cartoons. His ears have been keenly trained by years of language study and playing guitar, which suited him well for a career of critical listening and creating unimagined aural worlds and fabricating sonic realities for motion pictures.Mark founded and ran the successful post-production sound company, Weddington Productions, for 25 years. Today he works at Formosa Group in Hollywood, continuing his work as a Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer and Re-recording mixer.

End Song: "Squandered" by Salvage 00:00:00 – Cold Open, Social Media “Raw Sewage,” and the Kimmel Setup The guys kick off with snack banter and a barking “producer dog,” then vent about the internet's sewage firehose and culture-war escalation—teasing the night's first big story: ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel after his Charlie Kirk bit. 00:10:00 – Kimmel vs. Disney: The Contract Chess Match They read coverage framing Bob Iger and Disney caught between D.C. pressure and Hollywood outrage, play Kimmel's clip about Kirk, and argue Disney may just be hunting a morals-clause exit more than defending speech. 00:20:00 – “Free Speech” or Just Business? A sharper take on free-speech claims: the FCC can't outlaw Kimmel; platforms and affiliates can still walk. They contrast today's outrage with past deplatformings (e.g., Alex Jones) and point out the inconsistency of everyone's “principles.” 00:30:00 – The Australia Mix-Up & Ratings Reality They laugh over hundreds of Kimmel complaints misdirected to Australia's ABC, then note ratings and affiliate ad pressure may matter more than politics. Protest optics aside, reruns could probably match his numbers. 00:40:00 – Burchett, SKIFs, and “Deep-Water Entities” Pivot to UFOs/USOs: Rep. Tim Burchett's chatter about craft emerging from deep water; SKIF whispers around David Grusch; frustration that hearings recycle stories without subpoenaing the real gatekeepers. 00:50:00 – Invisible Residents: Classic USO Cases A tour through Ivan T. Sanderson's 1970 book: cigar-shaped blue-white craft pacing a ship, diving beneath the hull, and WWII-era objects surfacing then shooting skyward—suggesting surveillance patrols and ocean “bases.” 01:00:00 – Viral “Meteor Slime” Debunk That TikTok “living meteorite” from Panama? Great practical effects, not aliens. They cite polymer/hexane demo videos showing the exact wriggle behavior; fun Halloween content, just not real. 01:10:00 – The Hat Man: Sleep Paralysis or Shadow Entity? Deep dive into the Hat Man meme: neuroscientists say it's culture-shaped sleep paralysis; the show entertains that plus the paranormal angle (shadow people, MIB parallels). Listeners share eerily similar accounts. 01:20:00 – Call-Ins: Ouija, Weird Sleep, Witching Hour Callers recount Ouija board weirdness and a rash of 1–3 a.m. wake-ups. The crew swaps remedies and wonders—half-joking—if celestial strangeness is messing with everyone's sleep. 01:30:00 – Jezebel's “We Hired Witches” Piece Gets Pulled They review the Jezebel article boasting an Etsy curse on Charlie Kirk (later edited/removed post-assassination), debate ethics of “satire” about hexes, and note a new doc where a guy seeks to be cursed to test effects. 01:40:00 – Are Whales Trying to Talk to Us? From crop circles to “bubble circles”: humpbacks blowing rings around swimmers/boats as possible communication; shoutouts to bioacoustic playback experiments and Star Trek IV's “talk to the whales” lesson. 01:50:00 – Akron Lawn-Mower Caper & Dumb-Crime Detour Ohio man allegedly flips school-district mowers on Facebook Marketplace—embezzlement or just brazen stupidity? They roast the scheme (and marketing tactics). 02:00:00 – Flying Cars Crash, Duct-Taped Commuter & Sign-Off Chinese VTOL “flying cars” collide during an airshow rehearsal; the crew imagines an Amazon drone commuter basket and jokes about a duct-taped rider sipping a Slurpee.

Today's podcast features an incredibly talented and always delightful Catherine Hicks. You might remember her as the loving Annie Camden from “7th Heaven,” the brilliant Dr. Gillian Taylor who taught Captain Kirk a thing or two about whales in “Star Trek IV” and of course, the woman who had the unfortunate luck of buying a doll possessed by a serial killer in “Child's Play.” But then, we've all made questionable shopping choices, right? But, did you also know she starred alongside Bill Murray in “Stripes?” She held her own against one of comedy's greatest. She'll comment on that experience.

Destroy All Movies S2E12 - Star Trek IV: The Voyage HomeWe continue our Star Trek movie rewatch this week. We have a whale of a good time...hehe...get it? because there is whales in it.destroymail@gmail.comDAMSHOW.CO

Our deep dive of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" concludes on "Enterprise Incidents" (also "The Cine-Files") with our heroes from the late Starship Enterprise getting closer to accomplishing their mission of securing two humpback whales to bring back to the future.But before then can do that, they have to save Chekov from a 20th Century hospital and also restore their deteriorating dilithium crystals. There's also the matter of beaming the whales (and the water) onto their captured Klingon vessel, traveling back to the 23rd Century and hoping that the whales can talk the Probe out of destroying all life on Earth. And if they can make it through all of that, what will become of Admiral Kirk, the Enterprise crew and Dr. Gillian Taylor?Thanks for listening, keep going boldly and see you around the galaxy!

"Kaleidoscope University" - The Trailer Industry's Wild Beginnings Continuing our Tribute to Andy Kuehn, we're joined by Mike Camp, who got his start at Kaleidoscope Films under Andy, went on to serve as EVP at Paramount, EVP at Fox on the International side, and ulitmately was co-founder of the boutique agency ACME. And we're once again fortunate to have special co-host Benedict Coulter—often thought of as "the original rock star editor of the trailer industry" and now co-founder and owner of REBEL.  What We Discuss: How Andy Kuehn inspired a generation of trailer editors and producers What it was like working at Kaleidoscope Films during its golden era Mike Camp's role in shaping campaigns for classics like Top Gun, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Titanic What it takes to launch a successful creative agency in Hollywood The art and philosophy of trailer-making, from the analog days to now Episode Highlights: [00:02:45] – Mike Camp reflects on how a favor for a college friend landed him at Kaleidoscope Films, launching a decades-long career in trailers. [00:07:10] – The unique, rowdy, and creatively explosive culture at Kaleidoscope: office wine tastings, horse racing bets, and midnight brainstorms. [00:14:30] – A pivotal phone call from Dawn Steel brings Mike to Paramount, where he joins a dream team at just 27 years old. [00:17:55] – The legendary 1986 Paramount slate: Top Gun, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Crocodile Dundee, and Star Trek IV. [00:23:20] – Andy Kuehn's distinctive trailer sensibility and how he elevated the artform by focusing on mood, music, and emotion.

[01:02:00] – The legacy continues: why Mike and Benny remain passionate about storytelling and honoring the roots of the craft. Featured Quotes: "A trailer is a song—it's meant to give you emotion. You're not selling the movie; you're selling a feeling." – Mike Camp "Andy championed us. He never said no to a wild idea. He always said: try it." – Benedict Coulter "The trailer's job is to get asses in seats. If the film does its job, they'll stay there." – Mike Camp "Andy was the heart of Kaleidoscope.

In Part 2 of our deep dive of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage of Home" for "Enterprise Incidents" (really, "The Cine-Files"), Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the Enterprise crew travel back in time to the 20th Century to bring 2 Humpback Whales back to the 23rd Century with the hope that they will communicate with the Probe that is threatening to destroy all life on Earth.But after saving the galaxy many times over, they find themselves as proverbial fish out of water in 20th Century San Francisco, and only a forward-thinking marine biologist named Gillian Taylor can show them the ropes and help them save the future.

Another probe is headed towards Earth and this time the only way to stop it is to travel back in time and get silly in 1986.

At long last, “Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve” returns with a brand new episode! Actually, it's a new episode of “The Cine-Files with Steve Morris & John Rocha,” but since we're finally taking our deep dive into the most popular “Star Trek” film of all featuring the cast from “The Original Series,” it also doubles as an “Enterprise Incidents” episode too.In part one of our three-part series covering “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” the legendary crew of the late Starship Enterprise is on its way back to Earth in their captured Klingon vessel with the recently resurrected Captain Spock to face trial for acts of mutiny. But while en route, they receive a distress call warning all approaching vessels to stay away, due to a mysterious probe that's depleting power and wreaking havoc with extreme weather, which will soon destroy all life on the planet.Kirk, Spock and McCoy utilize the resources at hand to discover that the probe is trying to communicate with one species on Earth – specifically, humpback whales, which have been extinct for more than two centuries due to human hunting. Their only solution is to go back in time, retrieve two whales, bring them back to the future and hope that they engage the probe.And that's where the human adventure really begins!

Plus: a deep dive into American barbecue lore, McGee's nut superiority, and how Star Trek IV changed the whaling conversation forever.Deep Freeze and Dairy Experiments – Dave and Matt explore Fancy Ices by Mrs. Marshall, dissecting her unconventional custards, starch-thickened ice creams, and patented rapid-freezing contraptions from 1890s England.Pantry Purges and Questionable Bottles – The crew shares horror stories and small victories from cleaning out ancient ingredients, including black garlic, forgotten miso, and mystery whiskey in fancy tequila decanters.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoAt Thanksgiving in 1986, Paramount Pictures released a sci-fi, comedy,pirate adventure, caper film with the little title of: "Star Trek IV:The Voyage Home". It was an immensely popular (and financiallysuccessful) departure to what had come before! Amongst Trekkers theworld over, this is still considered the best Star Trek film evermade. And your hosts, James. Josh, Jack, and Joe concur.     Without almost out of control child-like joy the guys recount,relay, and reaffirm why this film is such a classic. With unbridledenthusiasm--bordering at times on sheer lunacy--the boys relive thisunique cinematic experience. From the rag tag crew agreeing to returnto Earth to face the music, to the trip back to present day SanFrancisco, and ultimately saving mankind once again from itsshortsightedness, the boys are so invested in this film they arepractically part of the crew tagging along on this grand adventure.Had Dr. McCoy been present for this recording he would have sent themall to the sick bay for a full psychiatric evaluation.    And for you film buffs, play close attention as Josh and Jack fillin much of the back story on how this addition to the Star Trek canonreached fruition.    As the episode draws to a close it's clear the inertial dampenersare off line as the guys bounce from scene to scene, and are alsounable to reframe from firing off the many quotable lines from thefilm. At this point it's abundantly clear the hump back whales neednot fear these silly humans. But once you listen to this latestoffering of the podcast you will understand why the guys were so giddyfor sixty plus minutes. And like Spock, at the film's conclusion--Youwill feel fine.

This is it: the end of the road. Andor comes to a close, and your Star Wars pals Dan, Tony, and Kat are here to cover the final episodes and discuss how we really feel about ziggurats, whether #KatWasRight, and what exactly Star Trek IV is remembered for. Lucasfilm Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.
