Page Turners They Were Not

On this week’s episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the year 1987 and the Danny DeVito-directed dark comedy “Throw Momma from the Train”. In this strange tale, the director himself plays a college student who becomes obsessed with the idea of murdering his overbearing mother (played by Anne Ramsey). As this twisted concept takes root, he attempts to recruit his teacher (played by Billy Crystal) into joining him in his dark endeavor. What follows is pure insanity. Join us as we go boldly!

Recently, the first Star Wars film in nearly 7 years was released in theaters. As you can expect, I saw it on opening night, and I wanted to take some time to share a few thoughts on the movie. A wild, crazy planet-hopping creature feature, “The Mandalorian and Grogu” is a far cry from the self-serious storytelling the saga has given us recently, and a welcome return to the wackier side of that galaxy far, far away…

This week on our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the continuing voyages of the USS Enterprise-D. When Geordi La Forge is kidnapped by Romulans, he is conditioned into being an assassin to serve their evil designs. Meanwhile, the Klingon Empire has accused the Federation of supplying arms to rebel forces, and it's up to Captain Picard and crew to prove that this is not the case. Join us as we go boldly!

On this week's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 23rd century and the continuing voyages of the starship Enterprise. When crew member Benjamin Finney is killed during the survey of an ion storm, Captain Kirk must account for his actions. Though he maintains that he was unfortunately forced to jettison the research pod containing Finney (leading to the latter's death), the ship's computer log says otherwise. Due to this discrepancy, Kirk faces a court martial! Join us as we go boldly!

On this week’s episode of our show, Captain Ingle and our good friend Fares Muthana set a course for the 23rd century and the adventures of the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike. This time around, a comet is on its way to strike an inhabited planet, and it's up to our heroes to solve the problem before it's too late. But as always, things are not exactly what they seem!

On this week’s episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the year 1776 and the birth of the United States of America. When the Revolutionary War comes to South Carolina, veteran Benjamin Martin attempts to avoid the conflict but finds himself in the thick of things when events go disastrously wrong for his family and his home. Joining us to discuss this Roland Emmerich-directed historical drama is our good friend Chris Dohmen. Join us as we go boldly!

Earlier this week the 5th and 6th episodes of the latest Star Wars series were released, and it's safe to say the show keeps getting better and better! Join me as I share a few thoughts.

On this week’s episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 22nd century and the origins of the prime directive. This time around, Enterprise encounters a race of beings who procreate by means of 3 genders. When Trip learns that the third gender is treated as second class citizens, he defies their cultural customs and tries to give them the opportunities they are denied. Join us as we go boldly!

The third and fourth episodes of the latest Star Wars series were released earlier this week, and I wanted to share some thoughts on the latest developments in this story. Suffice it to say that I thought these episodes were brilliant, so join me as I share my thoughts. May the Force be with you!
