Series 5, Episode 3 - "I'm not expecting Spock to come out dressed as Joseph and his technicolor dreamcoat but to put him in those shoulder pads..."

🎶 Party Spock is in the house tonight! Hoping Romulans will soon unite. But Sela steps out of the light. Now Picard is saying... "screw that". Troops are Vulcan shuttling.🎶

So sorry. But it's hard to keep these intros fresh after 5+ series. That's right folks, today our Romulan-focused "sen-sors" lead us to a review of a very special crossover two-parter of Star Trek: The Next Generation, entitled "Unification I & II". We have what's quickly being established as a regular crew this series with Mike, D.K & Adrienne all returning, joined by another guest this time as we welcome the lovely Allison (from our Top Ten Alien Ships breakdown) to her first proper Hit or Miss episode. There's talk of bad Romulan interior decorators, Dynasty shoulder pads, a truck load of audience's opinion, our own thoughts and so much more. So settle on the couch or the... shelf, and enjoy another trip through the Neutral Zone with us.

"Again, it is the legend."

A CONVERSATION WITH DAVID MACK

Hi faithful podcast followers. Apologies that there is no review episode this weekend but we have a doozy of a treat for you in it's place. In honour of the release of his newest novel, Star Trek: Picard's 'Firewall', Mike & D.K were fortunate enough to chat with prolific best-selling Star Trek author, episode writer, consultant, lifelong Trekkie and all-round nice guy David Mack. We're talking about the new book's plot fleshing out Seven of Nine's unseen journey to the Fenris Rangers, her new love and her life post-Voyager. But we cover a lot more, including the state of intolerance in the world, the importance of representation, being an ally and writing for an LGBTQ audience (including avoiding harmful tropes). Mr. Mack also discusses his work on various other Trek books, including being responsible for ending a whole continuity and writing a final end for the Borg. We also briefly touch on his work as a creative consultant for Star Trek: Lower Decks & Star Trek: Prodigy, as well as his two credited scripts for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. But that's not all! We go into detail about Seven's journey and the allegories she represents, writing the first post-Voyager interaction between Seven & Admiral Janeway, which aspects of the Trek universe he'd like to explore more, the importance of music to his writing process (including talking us through his 'Firewall' playlist) and much more. Trust us, it's a fantastic conversation that you won't want to miss a minute of. David is a good soul who absolutely understands the spirit of Star Trek and has many a geeky or captivating story to tell. So settle down, watch/listen along and hopefully you'll enjoy the chat as much as we did. We are extremely grateful to Mr. Mack for giving us so much of his time and a fantastic interview. Oh, and pick up a copy of 'Firewall', available now!

"Nobody will ever again tell me that I don't know my own f*cking name!"

Series 5, Episode 2 - "People complain about fan service, I say service me all day baby!"

Welcome back to our continuing look at Romulan-themed Star Trek stories. Last time we kicked things off with "Balance of Terror" so this week, of course we're going to be revisiting those events (with a twist) by diving into the Strange New Worlds season one finale "A Quality of Mercy". The same crew are on deck to compare the stories as hosts Mike & D.K once again welcome the honorary third Musketeer of the podcast Adrienne. As well as the episode review there is some brief Trek talk, a "Hit or Miss section" still searching for anything to get a negative response, and full opinions, conclusions and scores (along with way too much focus on starship and uniform design). So don't be like Captain Pike, accept your fate to kick back and tune into this fun, geeky podcast.

Cinema Classics Number 1 - "Play it once, Sam. For old time's sake"

Welcome viewer/listener to the newest spin-off of the Silver Screen Podcast. As time goes by there are more and more films released into the world, and more into the annals of history. Some become renowned for their impact, reputation, artistic merit, overall quality or just how beloved they are. This series is an effort to address those films that the main podcast may otherwise overlook in favour of more modern fare, or movies tied to newer releases. We may look at some of your all-time favourites or films you haven't thought of for a while. We could even be your introduction to, and education on, some films that are an important part of the history of cinema. The rules are simple; any film is eligible provided it had a wide theatrical release anywhere in the world and was released between the birth of cinema and the year 1979. To kick things off we're heading to Rick's to look at a true bona fide gem; 1942's 'Casablanca'. Regular hosts Mike & D.K kick things off without any other guests this week to get the ball rolling. One host has seen this film multiple times and it has a special place in their heart. The other has never seen it all the way through... until now. Find out their opinions as we hear from both angles along with some facts about the film and it's creation, it's cultural impact and it's historical critical response. We conclude, as ever, with our own response and score. Will we find the film worthy of it's classic status? We truly hope you enjoy this episode and join us in celebrating a love of truly great cinema from yesteryear. "Here's lookin' at you, kid"

Series 5, Episode 1 - "I'm with Mariner, they're just shady."

We're back! Swooping in like a decloaking Bird of Prey to 2024 for a series of podcasts looking at episodes featuring those dastardly, sneaky, Vulcan-lookalkes the Romulans. Regular host Michael returns to the Captain's chair, joined by faithful Number One D.K and our guest, and second officer this week, Adrienne Park-Tucker. They'll be touching base about favourite Romulan things, engaging in the "infamous" Hit or Miss section and then, fittingly, reviewing the first ever appearance of the Romulans in the TOS episode "Balance of Terror". So set your screens to full-mag, try to stay quiet and watch out for any invisible enemies as you leave any bigotry behind and enjoy this fantastic, in-depth episode.

Episode 65 - "You have a gift. You have power. And with great power there must also come great responsibility."

We're back! After a few months of Cult Classics the regular old Silver Screen Podcast returns, swinging into action with a massive crowd-pleasing blockbuster of a movie. To coincide with the release of 'Madame Web' we held a poll last year to see which Spider-Man related movie you wanted us to review. Now Mike has returned to host and take on the role of "Peter 1". He's joined by regular geek-contributor and this episode's "Peter 2" Tobi. We also welcome a first-time guest, huge comic book geek, and, coincidentally, Mike's nephew, our "Peter 3" Harry Greatrex. They'll be discussing the state of the MCU, unresolved plots, the nature of fan service and whether it's really believable that anybody would walk away from dating Zendaya! So hopefully you'll enjoy this podcast and not leave wishing for Doctor Strange to erase it from your memory as we review 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'.

"D.K's Cult Classics Episode 13 - "Ladies and gentlemen, everywhere I look... soldiers are fighting sailors, sailors are fighting Marines! Directly in front of me, I see a flying blond floozy! Everywhere I look... everywhere, pure pandemonium... pandemonium!"

It's nothing but chaos on the show today. DK has been hit on the head and thinks he's a bug so he's enlisted the help of two new recruits: Rob and Adrienne. Unfortunately, Rob has been strapped to a toilet and forced to drink prune juice, while Adrienne is stuck atop a Ferris wheel with a ventriloquist dummy for company. Somehow they have to beat the odds and get together in time to discuss Spielberg's 1979 wartime "comedy" 1941. Boy are they in trouble, now!

"To Hollywood... and glory!"

AN INTERVIEW WITH BILL KRAUSE

NB: We highly recommend you check out this interview on our YouTube channel to see visual examples of Bill's work and the projects discussed.

Hello again, faithful Trek fans. We're here with another special interview with a key figure in the Star Trek world. This time Mike sat down with model maker, video producer, starship enthusiast and Admiral-in-chief of Tycho Ship Yards Bill Krause. There's talk of Bill's intro to Star Trek as a fan, the beginning of modelling as a hobby, his inspirations, being discovered and asked to contribute to the Ships of the Line calendars. Bill also talks about his work on the third season of Star Trek: Picard, primarily adapting his original ship designs into the USS Intrepid and the USS Titan-A (the hero ship that would become the USS Enterprise-G). The chat takes in the weight of being one of the few people to have designed a USS Enterprise, his initial work making gold-plated models for set dressing and his many projects with his company and beyond. Hopefully you enjoy this conversation, starship nerds like our hosts definitely will. If so please like, subscribe, share and check out our links and Bill's just below. "Engage!"

"D.K's Cult Classics Episode 12 - "The world needs a wake-up call. We're going to phone it in."

It's the start of a new season here at Cult Classics, and what better way to open it than with a look at another John Carpenter gem? This time it's the turn of the 1988 action thriller/documentary (John's own words) 'They Live'. Join DK and special guests Nick and Jenn as they discuss all things satire, social commentary, creatures and that fight. If you're a fan of the movie you'll be happier than a human lulled to sleep by your alien overlords...
