Podcasts about star trek iv the voyage home

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

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.

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.

In this episode, I chat with creature effects artist, puppeteer and digital pioneer Craig Caton-Largent about a career that arguably traces the entire arc of modern visual effects — from foam latex and animatronics to motion control, performance capture and full CG animation. Craig talks about growing up on a sheep and cattle ranch in Washington State, being captivated by the 1960s Batman TV show and then Planet of the Apes, and teaching himself prosthetics from Dick Smith's Monster Makeup Handbook. After tracking down Dick Smith's address in Who's Who in America, he wrote a letter that led to a year of mentorship over cassette tapes and ultimately introductions to Rick Baker, Stan Winston and Tom Burman. We get into his first job on Charles Band's Metal Storm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, working on the Olympic alien for the 1984 closing ceremonies, sculpting barnacles on Cocoon, building Spock's seamless silicone ears on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, undulating menacingly under shaving cream on Larry Cohen's The Stuff, and puppeteering Slimer's mouth on the original Ghostbusters. A big part of the conversation focuses on Jurassic Park, including the design evolution of the T-Rex, the helicopter convention moment that led to the McFadden motion base, the logistics of moving the full-size animatronic across the San Fernando Valley at night, and Craig's work as the Raptor puppeteer, including the now-legendary "head tilt" at the kitchen window that earned an on-set "It's like Alien, I love it" from Spielberg. We also talk about Craig's twenty-year stint as the caretaker, or "doctor", to the original ET puppet, including the time the LAPD turned up at his garage door thinking he was running a crack lab while he was actually repainting ET. Plus the story of how Stan Winston handing him a couple of SGI machines led, almost overnight, to him becoming one of the eight co-founders of Digital Domain alongside James Cameron and Scott Ross. Later in the conversation we move into Craig's animation career as a final layout artist and character TD at DreamWorks and Disney, with credits on Tangled, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Turbo, and stories from working with Guillermo del Toro at DreamWorks. We finish on Craig's current role as Creative Director of the 3D Animation and Visual Effects department at the New York Film Academy in Burbank.

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:

As customary on THE ARCHIVE, today's episode is packed with excellent music. Jason Drury opens the show with ‘On Earth as It Is in Heaven' from Ennio Morricone's award-winning score for THE MISSION (Virgin Records), honouring its 40th anniversary. Jason then continues with music from the 35th anniversary release of THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE ( La La Land Records), composed by Carmine Coppola, Robert Folk's score from MILES FROM HOME (Quartet Records), Simon Franglen's THE CURSE OF TURANDOT (Sony Music) and music from the new 3-disc JOHNNY DOUGLAS COLLECTION from Dulcima Records. The show continues by commemorating the 40th anniversary of POLTERGEIST II (Intrada Records) by playing selections from Jerry Goldsmith's score. You'll also hear selections from the album LEE HOLDRIDGE GOES TO THE OLYMPICS (Dragon's Domain Records) and Tangerine Dream's classic electronic score for the 1977 action thriller SORCERER (Esoteric Recordings). Jason then rounds off the show with the "End Titles" from Leonard Rosenman's soundtrack for STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, which is also marking its 40th anniversary this year! I told you the show was packed.

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.

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.

Captain's Log: Stardate 4385.3The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast returns, and it's with a sense of pride and awe when I say that we have finally, after covering six episodes of the original series, encountered our first…god-being episode. (insert dramatic musical sting)I have instructed my crew to keep their cool during the old west group-mind fuckery and to remember the words of Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street…”It's not real! You're not real! None of this…is real!”.  That said, I have issued each crew member in the landing party a hand gun. While it may be considered primitive compared to a phaser, at close range…it can be just as deadly.I'm your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me as we try our best not to break kayfabe on this cheap ass looking old west set are my fellow bridge crew: Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include a look at one of the few gems of the less than stellar third season of the original series; the Trek Crew take a page out of The Twilight Zone to help cover up their low budget shortcomings; and finally, Ensign Chekov learns that the only way he's getting laid on this show is through an old west hallucination from a group of telepathic lizard men.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

In the second installment of Febwhaleary, we leave behind the fun loving world of Free Willy and venture to the cold climate of Newfoundland to witness the dark side of nature. For not all Orcas share the same sense of fun and need for human companionship like Willy, some…can hold a grudge. For Killer Whales the need for vengeance can be just as strong in Orcas as it can with homosapiens, as one fisherman in the 1970's found out. With rows of razor sharp teeth, designed to tear apart their prey, along with an extensive knowledge of explosives and natural accelerants; one does not wish to be on the bad side of this deadly mammal. For when one fucks around with nature…nature has a way of fucking you back.This…is Orca.I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to serve up a cold plate of vengeance are fellow cinephiles and marine biologists, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include a breakdown of one of the most haunting and traumatic scenes we've ever witnessed on the show to date; Dino De Laurentiis thumbs his nose at Spielberg as he gives us one ocean hell-beast to rule them all; and finally, we analyze the Final Destination-esque methods that the Killer Whale in Orca uses to obtain his vengeance.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Febwhaleary will continue next week, as we warp back to the future to save the Humpback Whale species with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. And yes, we promise, there will be whales here!

Where did Earth’s water come from? In this episode of Planetary Radio, we explore how scientists are answering that question by studying a remarkably well-preserved record of the early Solar System: lunar samples brought back by the Apollo missions. Host Sarah Al-Ahmed is joined by Tony Gargano, postdoctoral fellow at the Lunar and Planetary Institute with the University Space Research Association and a research affiliate at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Gargano studies lunar rocks and regolith to understand how planets form, evolve, and acquire key ingredients like water over time. By analyzing subtle chemical fingerprints preserved in Apollo-era lunar regolith, his work helps constrain how much water meteorites could have brought to Earth and what that means for our planet’s path to habitability. The episode also features a short bonus segment with actor George Takei, recorded at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures during a screening of “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.” Takei reflects on the enduring legacy of “Star Trek,” its influence on generations of scientists and explorers, and why he is excited about humanity’s return to the Moon in the Artemis era. He connects science fiction’s hopeful vision of the future with the real science helping us understand our origins today.

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. Second Draft (November 18, 1985): Subtle reference via McCoy's line: "I'm a surgeon, not a pediatrician."

Whether or not you're a Sherlockian, whether or not you believe that Arthur Conan Doyle was the literary agent for Holmes and Watson and not the author of fantastical tales, you might be curious to learn that there's a new mysterious Sherlock Holmes tale to untangle. Author, screenwriter, and director Nicholas Meyer would like to share that tale in his book, Sherlock Holmes and The Real Thing. Picture the setting: London, 189–. The great city is brought to a standstill by a series of blizzards, and Sherlock Holmes is bored to distraction. It would take a miracle to bring a case to the detective's door. . . But next thing you know, there are several corpses—and Holmes and his biographer, John H. Watson, MD, find themselves drawn into one of the most bizarre cases of the great detective's career: the cutthroat world of big Art, where trickery and deceit abound. Like any good Sherlock Holmes story, there seem to be more questions than answers. What makes a work of art worth killing for? Is it the artist, his mistress, his dealer, or his blackmailer? Who are the perpetrators? The accomplices? The victims? And just who is Juliet Packwood, with whom Watson has become infatuated? Oh, and there's one other problem: Is this a genuine Holmes case or a clever forgery? Is this the real thing? Nicholas Meyer spins a tale for new and seasoned Sherlockians alike. Nicholas Meyer is the “editor” of several Watson manuscripts, including The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, which spent forty weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. His screenplay of the film received an Oscar nomination. His film credits include writing and directing Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. He wrote and directed Time After Time, co-created Medici: Masters of Florence, and directed The Day After, about nuclear war that attracted the largest audience ever for a television movie. George Meyer wrote for Late Night with David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, and The Simpsons. An Eagle Scout, he practices yoga and meditation and supports frog and turtle conservation. His favorite Grateful Dead song is “Unbroken Chain.” Buy the Book Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing Third Place Books

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!

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!

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.

Mark and Niall discuss the 1986 blockbuster sequel Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Directed by Leonard Nimoy, and starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Catherine Hicks and some cool humpback whales, the even-numbered Star Trek film is one of the best sequels ever made. In this episode, they also talk about Donald Peterman's cinematography, time travel, and a well-timed Vulcan nerve pinch. Enjoy!

They say the sea is cold but the sea contains the hottest blood of all. Let's go back in time to get some whales to save the future. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is the final part of the unofficial Genesis Trilogy, and proved to be a fan favorite. Yet some deride it for its light, campy tone.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Men in Black, the 1997 sci-fi action comedy directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D'Onofrio and Rip Torn.Men in Black was written by Ed Soloman and shot by the late Donald Peterman — whose credits include Flashdance, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Point Break — with a score by Danny Elfman.In Men in Black, Smith plays James Darrell Edwards III, a New York City police officer who finds himself in chase through the city with a unnaturally fast and agile criminal, who later commits suicide. He soon learns that this criminal was an alien from another planet, and that New York is host to a secret government agency tasked with tracking alien lifeforms on Earth. He is recruited into the Men in Black by Agent K, and is deemed Agent J.Agents K and J are soon on the hunt for a Bug, an extra-terrestial cockroach who seeks “the galaxy,” a precious energy source that has been left on Earth. As the Bug, donning the skin of a human farmer, rampages through New York, K and J try to mitigate the damage and protect the galaxy, and the Earth itself, from the Bug.The tagline for Men in Black was “Protecting the Earth from the Sum of the Universe.”You can find Men in Black to stream on demand on Amazon Prime or for rent or purchase on Amazon and Apple TV.Be sure to sign up for our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!
