A nerd, a jock, a princess, a werewolf, and a gender-swapping journalist walk into 1985… This week, Jovial Jay and Shua take a nostalgic trip back to high school to celebrate the teen comedies that defined a generation on Enjoy Stuff Whether you were eating lunch in the library, building your dream girl, or skiing the K12, teen comedies in 1985 tapped into real adolescent emotions with totally tubular exaggeration. It's been 40 years since these iconic films hit theaters—so grab your Walkman, fluff your bangs, and join us as we Enjoy Teen Movies! News A coffee table made out of VHS tapes goes viral, mixing nostalgia and furniture   George Lucas highlight narrative art at SDCC   Starfleet Academy teaser drops, setting up a return to Star Trek's future   Strange New Worlds renewed for 5th and final season   H.E.R.B.I.E. and the Fantastic Four join the Avengers Campus lineup   Spinal Tap II drops a trailer—get ready to crank it to 11 again this September   RIP Tom Lehrer—brilliant satirist and mathematician   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua is fascinated by Huge* (*if true), a smart and engaging YouTube show hosted by Cleo Abram that tackles big ideas with clarity and positivity. Jay fell down a retro rabbit hole with Wild Rides (1982), a Nickelodeon doc/music special hosted by a young Matt Dillon and set to rollercoaster footage with music from The Who, Steely Dan, Hendrix, and more.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay analyzes the rebooted Robocop (2014). It has a slicker suit, sharper tech, and a whole lot more Michael Keaton, but does it hold up to the original? Read Jay's full breakdown on RetroZap.com. Also check out his latest work on MCULocationScout.com including “Fantastic Four-apalooza!” and coverage of Agents of SHIELD Season 5. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Teen Movies!  1985 was a banner year for teen comedies, giving us characters we loved, related to, and sometimes cringed at. These movies didn't just entertain, they helped define Generation X adolescence. Why did these films resonate so much? Because the '80s were overflowing with disposable teen cash, hungry studios, and an army of rising stars like Michael J. Fox, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, and more. They gave us escapism, identity, and some truly quotable lines.   Did one of these movies speak to you? Did you own the soundtrack? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Two Dollars!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Mein Ersteindruck zu Strange New Worlds s03e04 "A Space Adventure Hour / Weltraumabenteuerstunde" (mit einer kleinen Abschweifung in ein japanisches Zeitreise-Hotel.) Und: meine Gedanken zum ersten Trailer zu "Starfleet Academy".

On this episode of Trek Watch, we're diving into the highs and lows of the current Star Trek landscape. First, we tip our hats to Strange New Worlds for delivering a surprisingly fun and freaky zombie episode—proving once again that Trek can still get weird in the best ways.But it's not all warp core breezes: we're scratching our heads at that baffling Season 4 teaser, where Captain Pike is… a puppet? Yep, that happened. And we're not thrilled. Add to that a Starfleet Academy trailer that feels more CW teen drama than classic Trek, and we've got some honest frustrations to beam up. It's a mix of praise and protest this week as we talk tone, direction, and what the franchise needs to stay boldly on course.

Join in on this week's discussion as Clarence and Larry dissect the latest episode of Strange New Worlds, Shuttle to Kenfori. But first, news is in order as the duo cover big news out of the San Diego Comic Con. Starfleet Academy is looking good, while Strange New Worlds continues to take big swings. Finally we dive deep into our zombie-centric episode of Strange New Worlds, where truth is uncovered and emotions take their toll.#StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #ShuttleToKenfori #Zombies

The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Ep #197 BANANZA! (Grok 3 Summarization Transcript For) The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Episode Summary – July 19, 2025 In this episode of the The Fork In Your Ear Podcast, hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate Foo dive into a lively discussion about recent entertainment and gaming topics, despite technical hiccups and life's interruptions. Recorded on July 19, 2025, the episode covers a range of pop culture updates, nostalgic throwbacks, and exciting new releases, with their characteristic banter and humor. Key Topics Discussed: Entertainment News: Passings: The hosts mourn the loss of actor Julian McMahon, known for roles as the devil in Charmed and Dr. Doom in the Fox Fantastic Four films, who passed away at 56 from cancer. They also pay tribute to composer Mark Snow, famous for his work on The X-Files, Supernatural, and Smallville, who died at 78. Nostalgia Kick: Nate shares his recent indulgence in 80s and 90s classics via streaming channels like Pluto TV, revisiting Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2, and RoboCop 3. He notes the surprising presence of actor Stephen Root across these films and Star Trek: The Next Generation, highlighting Root's prolific career. King of the Hill Revival: The hosts discuss the upcoming King of the Hill Season 14, set to release on August 4, 2025, on Hulu and Disney+. The trailer features Bobby as a chef, with “boomer humor” and a new voice actor, Toby Huss, replacing the late Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble. Murderbot Season 2: The Apple TV+ series Murderbot is renewed for a second season, with the showrunners addressing fan feedback about episode length, aiming for longer episodes and staying true to the books while incorporating callbacks to Season 1's cast. Dexter Resurrection: Tim, a Dexter fan, raves about the two-episode premiere of Dexter Resurrection, a sequel to Dexter: New Blood. The series introduces new characters, including Uma Thurman's mysterious role, and sets up a multi-season arc with a return to the original series' vibe. Looney Tunes Movie: Tim reviews The Day the Earth Blew Up, a hand-animated Looney Tunes film on HBO Max. He praises its humor, classic animation style, and surprising edge, though notes its unconventional release under Ketchup Entertainment. Superman (James Gunn): Initially skeptical, Tim admits James Gunn's Superman film exceeded expectations. He praises its balance of humor, action, and a humanized Superman, with standout performances by Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as Superman. Criticisms include an overpacked plot and excessive focus on Krypto the dog. Harry Potter Series: Filming has begun for HBO's Harry Potter series, with the hosts intrigued by the race-swapped Severus Snape and the challenge of casting new child actors to match the iconic original trio. Star Trek Updates: The hosts discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3, enjoying its mix of serious and wacky episodes, including a Q cameo. However, they address rumors of Starfleet Academy and Strange New Worlds Season 5 potentially being shelved due to a Paramount-Skydance merger, and controversy over a proposed remake of the original Star Trek series with the Strange New Worlds cast. Gaming Updates: Helldivers 2 on Xbox: The hosts celebrate Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox Series S/X on August 26, 2025, published by PlayStation Studios' PC port team, Nixxes. They discuss Sony's financial motivations and the game's appeal to Xbox players. Nintendo Switch 2: Tim shares his experience using the Switch 2's game-sharing feature, playing Super Mario 3D World co-op with a colleague. He also discusses The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, praising its updated visuals and challenging final boss. Cyberpunk 2077: The hosts cover the Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 update, adding missions, cars, and an auto-driving feature. They highlight its performance on Switch 2, leveraging DLSS for superior visuals compared to Steam Deck, and note its new Mac version optimized for Apple Silicon. Donkey Kong Bonanza: Tim raves about Donkey Kong Bonanza, a Nintendo Switch 2 title developed by the Super Mario Odyssey team. The game blends open-zone exploration with voxel-based destruction, allowing players to smash through levels as Donkey Kong. Despite a lackluster tutorial, its innovative mechanics and polished chaos earn high praise, positioning it as a potential Game of the Year contender. Banter and Personal Notes: The hosts joke about technical issues, including Discord camera settings and a faulty USB hub, and Nate's “Trumpian tan” from a recent boat trip with Starlink-powered internet. Nate's nostalgia for terrestrial TV leads to a discussion about streaming channels like Pluto TV mimicking that experience. Tim's exhaustion from a tough work week contrasts with the joy of playing Donkey Kong Bonanza to unwind. Closing: The episode wraps with the hosts thanking listeners for sticking with them despite irregular episodes due to life's demands. They promise more The Fork In Your Ear Podcast content with their signature sign-off, “Get forked, catch you on the flippity flop.” Where to Listen: Available on platforms hosting theThe Fork In Your Ear Podcast.

Though the geopolitics were a complicated web of interconnected parts, certain events before, during and after Earth's 3rd World War are undisputed. At least, today. One of the most infamous figures in Human history is Colonel Phillip Green - a key player in the build-up to war and the literal fallout to follow. He's viewed - rightfully - as one of the biggest villains ever to walk the Earth.As World War 3 raged on Allied New United Nations and Eastern Coalition troops alike became disillusioned and deserted their posts to follow a new way they believed would ultimately prevail. Sovereign nations, including the United States, essentially ceased to exist following the war, the country falling into barbarism, carved up into fiefdoms controlled by competing warlords, Such as Green. He had slowly amassed a loyal army and began his brutal reign over the pacific northwest of North America. 

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, JJ Abrams' Star Trek. Orphaned following an encounter with a strange and hyper-advanced alien ship, James Tiberius Kirk drifts through life in search of purpose. Prompted to enroll in Starfleet Academy, Kirk finds himself drawn into an epic web of fate that crosses time and space, seemingly drawing him towards the most unlikely of companions, a half-Vulcan named Spock. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

“Know Thyself…Love Thyself” This week, the SyFy Sistas beam up a true legend of the Star Trek universe: actress and lifelong Trekker Ursaline Bryant, best known to fans as the trailblazing Captain Tryla Scott from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The once-gentle man who "wouldn't hurt a fly" became a hollow shell, adrift among the few survivors of his species. His life changed forever during a rescue mission in 2293 when the Enterprise-B, assisted by the legendary James T. Kirk, saved him from a mysterious spatial phenomenon called the Nexus. For a fleeting moment within this energy ribbon, Sorin experienced pure joy as he reunited with his loved ones in a realm where desires shaped reality.

In this caffeine-fueled installment of News & Brews, we're back from D.C. and brimming with Trek news, wild ideas, and hot partnerships! We kick things off by celebrating William Shatner's 94th birthday and announcing some huge news: partnerships with Fansets and Nubeo Watches—don't forget to use code OPP50 for 50% off! Then we dive headfirst into the world of Star Trek: from the curious case of a Deep Space Nine musical that almost happened, to whispers of a romance that never made it to screen between Damar and Kira. (Seriously, it's juicy.) We've got thoughts on Jonathan Frakes' insights into Starfleet Academy—including why it's aimed at the "hardcore" fans and what a spaceship the size of your mom's disappointment has to do with it. Plus, we warp into Universal Studios' upcoming Fan Fest Nights and the return of the real Enterprise-D bridge set. Add in some Klingon snacks, Earl Grey tea (hot and cold), and a nod to the underrated brilliance of the current IDW Star Trek comics, and you've got yourself one jam-packed episode. Strap in. Drink up. Engage.

In this episode, we dive into the current pulse of the Star Trek universe. Ronald D. Moore opens up about his creative burnout and why he needed space from the franchise—but could a return be on the horizon?
