Episode 206: Fan Girl by Claudia Lonow   This month, Dead Pilots Society presents Fan Girl by Claudia Lonow, a returning guest who previously appeared on the podcast with her pilot Assisted Loving, featured in Episode 13. Claudia has had a long and impressive career as a writer and producer. She has created four television series including How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life), Accidentally On Purpose, Rude Awakening, and Good Girls Don't.   Logline:  Bad ass, sexy freedom fighter, MORRIGAN CHASE, escapes from certain death into a worm hole that lands her in the closet of her biggest FAN GIRL -- edibles-loving, Beth -- who's watching similar-but-different events unfold on her favorite sci fi series, DOMINION, which seems to be based on Morrigan's galaxy! Each week, Beth and Morrigan battle Talarus's assassins and make alien allies as they struggle to get Morrigan home, the unlikely friendship causing each woman to grow.   The pilot features a cast packed with familiar faces from Dimension 20 on Dropout, making this live reading especially fun for fans of the show. Fan Girl is a wild, funny, and wonderfully strange pilot featuring some of the most entertaining stage directions in Dead Pilots Society history.   The cast is Isabella Roland (Sex Lives of College Girls, Dimension 20), Rekha Shankar (Dimension 20 Star Trek Starfleet Academy), James Adomian (Krapopolis, Jimmy Kimmel), Zac Oyama (Dimension 20), Jackie Tohn (Nobody Wants This), Brennan Lee Mulligan (Dimension 20; Critical Role), Caroline Kingsley (Love on Tap), Alex Moffat (SNL, Bad Monkey), and Andrew Reich with stage directions.   The next Dead Pilots Society live show is at the Elysian Theater in Los Angeles on  Sunday, September 13th, featuring pilots from  Alex Herschlag ( Will and Grace, Modern Family, Arrested Development), and  Katie Greenway (Welcome to Flatch).

Adam, Russ, and Nathan gathered to discuss the ending of Season 1 of "Star Trek Starfleet Academy." Before we get to that main topic, we discuss a fun horror film and one amazing sci-fi film as Adam deals with his blown out mic. This week is the Star Trek Academy finale as we see if any or our theories came to fruition… --Nathan Apple Podcast Spotify iHeartRadio Libsyn Youtube

But, here’s a local story of interest: After seven years of planning, a new seniors lodge will be built in Vulcan to replace the Peter Dawson Lodge, which was built in 1963. According to spokesperson Kelly Nelson, while the Dawson Lodge is reportedly in “really good shape,” it no longer meets current building standards. “The rooms are too small, we have inside rooms without any windows to the outside,” said Nelson, adding seniors don't want to move in until they have a room with a window. The new facility, expected to open in 2028, will have 62 affordable-housing units. Vulcan Mayor Tom Grant said Thursday the new facility will be a “win-win” for the community.

This week we are a two man show with Russ and Nathan as we chat about TV, Gaming, Pinball and arcades in bars and why we appreciate where we live. As we are dealing with Marvel burnout, we enjoyed Wonderman and where in the hell is Shang-chi 2??? Eventually we get onto discussing the penultimate episode of Star Trek Starfleet Academy as we brainstorm what we think is going on and we are curious to see how many of our theories will come to fruition. This week, I will be dropping the last two late episodes from March and get back on schedule about dealing with family trauma over the last couple of months. –Nathan Apple Podcast Spotify iHeartRadio Libsyn Youtube

In this episode of Geektown Talks To, Dave chats with cinematographer, director and filmmaker Boris Mojsovski, whose work includes Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller ‘I Will Find You', along with ‘Rabbit Hole', ‘12 Monkeys', ‘Titans', ‘The Lost Symbol', ‘The Madness' and more.Boris talks about growing up around film sets, initially trying not to follow the family path into filmmaking, and how photography, writing and directing eventually pulled him back behind the camera. He also discusses the unusual position of being both a cinematographer and director on long-form television, and how that helps shape the visual identity of a series.We then dive into ‘I Will Find You', exploring how Boris and the creative team built the show's tense, grounded visual language, from its prison-set opening to the wider mystery that follows. He talks about creating a “visual manifesto” for the series, the challenge of making something feel real while still delivering thriller-level drama, and why the “geography of a face” can be one of the most powerful tools in visual storytelling.The conversation also moves into some of Boris's other genre work, including the paranoia of ‘Rabbit Hole', the time-travel complexity of ‘12 Monkeys', and the superhero world of DC's ‘Titans'. Plus, Boris teases his own upcoming film ‘Foreign Tongue', talks about recent projects including ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' and ‘Into the Deep Blue', and reveals the classic films he wishes he could have made himself.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

The SyFy Sistas Scene Draft Some scenes deserve a conversation all their own. The SyFy Sistas revisit Season 1 of "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" one scene at a time. Each of us brings our picks across five categories: the scene that changed how we looked at a character, broke our heart, made us fall in love with Star Trek all over again, hit differently on a rewatch, and was better than the entire episode. Three Sistas. Fifteen scenes. Every pick has a story.

FedCon 2026 – unser Rückblick auf die Starfleet-Academy-Gäste! In dieser Folge sprechen wir nicht über die komplette FedCon, sondern gezielt über die Gäste aus Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Wir schauen auf Panels, Bühnenmomente, Cast-Chemie, Publikumsreaktionen und natürlich auf all die kleinen Andeutungen, aus denen man mit genug Star-Trek-Wahnsinn ganze Theorien bauen kann. Mit dabei: Zoë Steiner, Karim Diané, Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard und George Hawkins – und unsere Frage, was diese FedCon-Auftritte über die neue Generation von Star Trek erzählen. War da schon ein Blick auf die Zukunft der Serie? Haben die Gäste mehr verraten, als sie wollten? Oder haben wir einfach wieder viel zu viele Gedanken zu sehr kleinen Gesichtsausdrücken? Die Antwort lautet vermutlich: ja. #FedCon2026 #StarfleetAcademy #StarTrek #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast

The Bridge Crew is a little tardy, but they finally close the loop on conversations for STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY by diving into the final two episodes of its first season: "300th Night" and "Rubincon!" Our panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers—Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan—break down the effectiveness of the finale, their favorite characters for the season and what they felt both worked and didn't about STARFLEET ACADEMY as we await its second season. But to kick things off, the panel appeals to the people—and rants a bit—about the attitudes of some in fandom toward the show. Don't forget about PEDANTIC CONTINUITY TIME at the end, either! Editor's note: Time index 22:51-29:35 is fully spent on recaps for both episodes. Move to 29:35 for the commencement of the full discussion of the episodes.

The DEBRIEF Bridge Crew continues its recaps of STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY season one with two episodes: "Ko'Zeine" and "The Life of the Stars!" After a brief discussion about the sad recent news concerning the state of STAR TREK's active productions, co-hosts Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan break down two very different episodes of the misunderstood series. While one panelist was less kind to episode seven, others offer perspectives that illuminate its value to a rollercoaster of a season. For episode eight, themes of trauma and acceptance are further exemplified with the return of SYLVIA TILLY from STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. Listen in now!

Anthony and Laurie have a lot of news to catch up on. They start with the cancellation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, looking at statements from Paramount as well as reactions from both the cast and the show’s fans, and have a brief debate about whether or not that factored into the decision. Robert Picardo’s recent comments about Star Trek taking “a pause” sparked a broader discussion of what might happen next with the franchise both on TV and in movies. They also take a look at a new interview with Paul Giamatti about Academy‘s Nus Braka. They chat about Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir’s comments on this era of Trek, along with his subsequent apology to Alex Kurtzman, and Tony goes through the latest on new comics and games. They recap some of the Trek Talks panels, particularly the Deep Space Nine “Trials and Tribble-ations discussion where Ira talked about nervously calling Leonard Nimoy to get his approval and the Enterprise writers panel where they talked about their pitches for season 5. Laurie gives a full Trek Talks update and then urges everyone to go check out the footage and images from the Artemis mission.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is doing something rare for a franchise show: it's willing to put its own hero institution genuinely on trial — and Matthew sits down with Matt Carroll, co-host of the Star Trek Universe Podcast and founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network, to dig into all ten episodes with full spoilers in hand.At the center of the season is a storyline connecting Captain Ake, Anisha Mir, and her son Caleb; a morally tangled triangle of guilt, projection, and hard accountability that both hosts find unexpectedly moving. They debate how the show handles its courtroom climax, where the villain Noose Braca's grievances against the Federation turn out to rest on factually false memories. The hosts see a deliberate political metaphor but wish the Federation had been made to answer for more. They also get into the Klingon cadet who wants to be a nurse, the war college subplot as Star Trek's latest engagement with its own military identity, and a three-stakes framework for evaluating action sequences that lights up a new way of thinking about everything from the Daredevil hallway fight to Luke's Death Star shot.The conversation doesn't stay in the story, because the story of what's happening to this show turns out to be just as urgent. Both hosts make the case that Starfleet Academy's pre-emptive cancellation before Season 2 even airs looks a lot less like a business decision and a lot more like a targeted act of political interference — and that watching the show is itself a small form of pushback.Mentioned in This EpisodeStar Trek Content DiscussedStar Trek: Deep Space Nine — “In the Pale Moonlight”Star Trek: PicardThe Orville (Season 4 reportedly in production for a late 2026/2027 release)Other Shows & Films ReferencedDaredevil (Netflix) — hallway fight scene, Season 1Buffy the Vampire SlayerLuke CageIf Starfleet Academy has been sitting in your queue, this is the episode that'll send you straight to it — or send you back for a rewatch with sharper eyes.About Matt CarrollMatt Carroll is the co-host of the Star Trek Universe Podcast and the founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network, home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Podcast, Multiverse News, and more.

This week, the boys head to Sicily to try and save cinema with 1989's “Cinema Paradiso”! This highly regarded film expresses the nostalgia of growing up in post-WWII Italy where a single movie theater was the only source of entertainment for a town. It ends with it getting torn to the ground, which is reason enough for us to grab some drinks and talk positively about the film, whether or not it's too nostalgic and sentimental, and how it reflects our feelings of today's cinema culture. linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

The first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is truly special from top to bottom and we joyously break it all down in our usual TrekRanks style this week with the "Top 5 Starfleet Academy Season 1 Moments." From the introduction to Trek of Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti to the sheer youthful enthusiasm and vigor of the new cast and cadets, this show aced every test thrown its way. Our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guest Jenn Tifft and Michael Bentley cover the entire SFA syllabus with their picks (and also commiserate on the bad timing of learning about the series' long-term demise). This one is non-stop joy. Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: We break down the five distinct categories we use in our season recap shows. In order, this week's panelists reveal their picks in the following categories: Production Design, Behind-the-Scenes Creative MVP, Dabo Round Wildcard, Character and Episode! We also take a few minutes to discuss the show's cancellation, which occurred just hours before recording. Prime Directive: Our crew breaks down exactly how they defined their lists. The Order of Things: Everyone reveals their picks with the usual "Five word Summary and a Hashtag," along with one episode that helps frame their choice. Secondary Systems: Our guests each rattle off a few additional selections for the picks that just missed our lists! Regeneration Cycle: Everyone recaps their picks and we discuss some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Starfleet Academy Season 1 Moments. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.com on Bluesky.) Your comments could be used as part of a Temporal Causality Loop on an upcoming episode (and might get you a chance to be a guest on a future episode, too). And don't forget to check out TrekRanks.com for our entire back catalog of episodes and a detailed rundown on every episode of Star Trek ever.

This week, the boys drink and keep it positive as they head back to 1959 to discuss Otto Preminger's “Anatomy of a Murder”. We discuss how it aged, how they wrote and directed a difficult female character, and whether Jimmy Stewart was the best choice for the lawyer in this courtroom drama based on a true story. Before that conversation, we have some spoiler-free mini-reviews of “She Dances”, “Pretty Lethal”, and “Project Hail Mary”.

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Thad Hait and Caleb Dorsch to discuss all the latest Star Trek news. This week, Alex and his guest discuss the big news of the week in an episode-long panel discussion: TrekCore: Breaking — STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY Ends with Season 2, Wrapping Known Kurtzman-Era Productions Alex, Thad, and Caleb discuss their feelings about the end of Starfleet Academy, what this means for the future of Alex Kurtzman and Secret Hideout's role in charge of the Star Trek franchise, whether the franchise will pivot from television shows back to movies, and what shows we would greenlight if Paramount Skydance handed us the keys to Star Trek following Alex Kurtzman.  *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?

Sony didn't wait long to release the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer we've all been craving and oh, how it delivered! Unsurprisingly, the trailer now holds the record for the most-watched ever, garnering 718.6 million views in a 24-hour period. The new film shows Peter Parker banding together with familiar characters such as Bruce Banner and Frank Castle while he anonymously serves New York City as Spider-Man. Let's not delay - who wants to take a bite out of this big apple first?It's a three-for-one MCU week, with the announcement that a second season of Wonder Man is beginning production, and a title plus release date for the Punisher special presentation. All of the creatives behind Wonder Man are returning for the second season, including Destin Daniel Cretton as director and executive producer. Marvel announced the news with a social media post of the front of the script for the next season. Today, the film studio let us know that the Punisher tv special will be called “One Last Kill,” and is set to drop on May 12 the week after the finale of Daredevil: Born Again season two. So much here to bite off, what are we chewing on the most?Remember how all we can do is rave about Project Hail Mary? Well the box office agrees, as the Ryan Gosling-led film opened to $141 million globally last weekend, with $80.6 of that being domestic. In the era of sequel-verse, Hail Mary rivals only Oppenheimer for being the other film to pass this kind of benchmark that isn't a continuation of a franchise. No one here is surprised, but is the industry?Lightning RoundDisney has announced release dates for Lilo & Stitch 2 which is coming out on May 26, 2028, Memorial Day weekend, and Pixar's Incredibles 3, which debuts on June 16, 2028.Netflix has rounded out the main cast of the upcoming live action Scooby Doo series.

This week, Transporter Room 3 beams up our review of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's freshman season finale, "Rubincon." And, nope, that's not a typo.Ake (Holly Hunter) struggles through a very chatty tribunal, while the rest of the cadets must save the Earth in a way that, if we were them, we'd expect to skip a few years and go straight to graduation (zing!).A trip to the Replimat and a TNG Red Shirt are also in order, so get comfy in your Captain's chairs and listen now!

Episode 6 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is the best episode of the season so far — which only highlights how badly the show was set up in the first place. On this episode of Thumb War, we dig into why this finally feels like Star Trek, why it immediately falls apart under scrutiny, and how nostalgia, logic gaps, and baffling character choices keep undermining the series. It's better. It's still broken. And it should've happened way earlier.

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

In this week's FOLLOW UP, Bitcoin is down 15%, miners are unplugging rigs because paying eighty-seven grand to mine a sixty-grand coin finally failed the vibes check, and Grok is still digitally undressing men—suggesting Musk's “safeguards” remain mostly theoretical, which didn't help when X offices got raided in France. Spain wants to ban social media for kids under 16, Egypt is blocking Roblox outright, and governments everywhere are flailing at the algorithmic abyss.IN THE NEWS, Elon Musk is rolling xAI into SpaceX to birth a $1.25 trillion megacorp that wants to power AI from orbit with a million satellites, because space junk apparently wasn't annoying enough. Amazon admits a “high volume” of CSAM showed up in its AI training data and blames third parties, Waymo bags a massive $16 billion to insist robotaxis are working, Pinterest reportedly fires staff who built a layoff-tracking tool, and Sam Altman gets extremely cranky about Claude's Super Bowl ads hitting a little too close to home.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Shrinking, the Grammys, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's questionable holographic future, Neil Young gifting his catalog to Greenland while snubbing Amazon, plus Is It Cake?

We round it out with RentAHuman.ai dread relief via paper airplane databases, free Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert—still classy in the digital wasteland.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Ep 730: Ethical Broads PRIVATEWe kick off FOLLOW UP with California's AG sending a cease-and-desist to xAI over Grok generating creepy deepfakes of minors, while regulators finally notice Elon Musk's xAI datacenter illegally running methane turbines in Memphis. The FTC is also appealing its loss in the Meta monopoly case, because apparently breaking up Zuckerberg's data empire is still the hill they want to die on.IN THE NEWS, Washington joins the age-verification-for-porn parade, the UK considers an Australia-style social media ban for kids under 16, and governments everywhere continue demanding your ID before you're allowed to enjoy the internet. OpenAI rolls out age prediction for ChatGPT accounts ahead of a rumored adult mode—though hey, at least you can now group tabs in ChatGPT's Atlas browser. Anthropic rewrites Claude's “constitution” to make it more vibes-based, Nevada moves to block Polymarket because gambling is only legal when the house owns the house, and YouTube promises even more AI features in 2026. Elsewhere, a Swiss suicide pod gets an AI “mental fitness” upgrade, Microsoft's CEO begs AI developers to do something useful before the grid collapses, Musk hunts for a $134 billion payday from OpenAI and Microsoft, and makes yet more Davos predictions about robotaxis and aliens that are absolutely happening this year. On the bright side, A-list creatives push back on AI and Comic-Con bans AI art, buying humans a little more time.MEDIA CANDY finds us slogging through Wish, The Pitt, and the “Mel's Diner in Space” look of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. We confirm 20-year-old CGI wargs still look terrible, get cautiously excited for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and note that Fallout Season 2's weekly drops may not be working for a binge-rotted audience.In APPS & DOODADS, X launches Bluesky-style starter packs—presumably to help you find more Nazis—while ICE becomes one of the most-blocked accounts on Bluesky. Threads edges out X in daily mobile users, proving the “federated future” is just another Zuck app. And yes, we think we know what the Apple AI pin is—and definitely what it isn't.AT THE LIBRARY, we check out The Elements, Jet Tila's 101 Thai Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die, Half Baked Harvest: Quick & Cozy, and Southern Living's A Southern Gentleman's Kitchen. Scott reports back from a Jim Butcher talk, where we learn Harry Dresden sounds suspiciously like Han Solo.We close with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, who is juggling five podcasts while reading Going to the Top: The Story of Videopolis, plus teasers for Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord and a baffling Masters of the Universe trailer, a rant on what “remastered” even means anymore, a dishwasher follow-up, and the grim news that a lot of snow is coming.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Trump: We've done more than any other administration has done by far—in terms of military, in terms of ending wars, in terms of completing wars, nobody's really seen very much like it. Trump: These are professional agitators and professional people that want to see our country do badly. But that's not happening because we have the hottest country. Trump: I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That could have done some damage. But you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain. Trump: "Your lover isn't going to be killed anymore, so you can act like a real lover. You can walk right through the middle of the town. And DC is beautiful again too."
