Page Turners They Were Not

On this week's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I and our special guest Justin Toner set a course for the 24th AND 32nd centuries and the voyages of both the Enterprise-D and the Discovery. The reason for this is that in addition to the classic two-parter episode "Unification" from The Next Generation, the story was given a sequel of sorts in the form of the Discovery episode "Unification III", wherein the story of the Romulans and Vulcans continues. Join us as we go boldly!

As we approach the finale of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, we are gifted with a great thriller episode full of edge-of-your-seat suspense. "Into the Breach" is yet another great installment of this marvelous animated series. As Omega "adjusts" to her new life on Tantiss, the Batch plots to find their way to the Emperor's secret laboratory. Rampart informs them that the coordinates are not given out even to someone as highly ranked as him, but that instead they must find a ship headed for Tantiss and steal its codes. What follows is a tense infiltration of an Imperial starbase...

2023 was one of the greatest years in film of the 21st century (so far)! Not only did we get a slate of daring and imaginative movies, but we witnessed one of the most unusual phenomena in the history of cinema! Begun by fans, the Barbenheimer event came to dominate the year. Nothing like this has ever been seen in the history of Hollywood, and I doubt such a thing will ever be seen again. Joining me today to discuss this extraordinary moment is my friend Adam "The Coyote" Collins of the YouTube channel Champs on Film!

On the latest episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 22nd century and the pioneering adventures of the NX-01 Enterprise. On this particular installment, Captain Archer and crew come across a Vulcan vessel that has been wandering the galaxy for some years. Much to the surprise of the crew of the Enterprise, this group of Vulcans disagrees with the purely logical doctrine embraced by most of their species. As you can imagine, T'Pol doesn't take this very well. Join us as we go boldly!

In the latest episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, our heroes undertake a mission to discover the location of the Imperial research laboratory at Mount Tantiss. Following the classic formula of a Clone Wars or a Mandalorian episode, this particular adventure takes us on a action-packed thrillride with the edge-of-your-seat suspense of a tense heist. Join me as I share my thoughts...

I am beyond excited for Star Wars: The Acolyte, which will premiere on Disney+ on June 4! Series creator Leslye Headland is very enthusiastic to present her vision to the world, and has a lot to say about her approach and the intent of this new show. As much as I admire her passion, I'm more interested in what the show means to me personally once it debuts. Join me as I explain what I mean...

This week we received not one, but two, episodes of Star Wars: The Bad Batch! Even though these installments seem very different from each other, I believe they are connected in a very deep way which I will explain in the course of this episode. Join me as we take a deep dive into these particular adventures that continue to impress.

On the latest episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the early 19th century and the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars. For our March movie night, we are setting sail with Captain Jack Aubrey and the crew of the HMS Surprise in the 2003 naval epic "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". Joining us to discuss this often overlooked gem is the LGRN's own Adelia Chamberlain. Join us as we go boldly!

25 years ago, George Lucas released Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the long-awaited prequel to the masterful Original Trilogy. And boy did it hit with a bang, in more ways than one.
