This month for our movie night, Captain Ingle and I go back in time to the year 1999 and the release of one of the most important science fiction films in recent history. Questions regarding the truth of our reality have been asked since the dawn of our species, and the Wachowski's modern classic "The Matrix" presents these thoughts in a truly profound and extremely influential way. In fact, the concepts presented in this film still resonate with us a quarter of a century later. Join us, along with special guest Aaron Dye, as we go boldly!

As my birthday is in a few weeks, I thought I would host my second livestream in honor of the occasion. Join me as I ramble through many thoughts, both Star Wars and otherwise. A few friends will join me along the way, so come with us for some birthday fun!

This week on Random Trek, I am on an away mission, so our intrepid Captain Ingle is joined by friend of the show Chris "Skywalker" Dohmen to take a look at something outside the canon of Star Trek. Recently, some very clever YouTubers put together a musical version of 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. As both our captain and our special guest are fans of musicals, we thought it appropriate that they review this very unusual entry in the world of Trek fandom! Join us as we go boldly!

On this week's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the Delta Quadrant of the 24th century and the continuing misadventures of the USS Voyager. This time out, the intrepid crew yet again encounters the mischievous entity known as Q. As he often does, Q has something up his sleeve, and this time its a desire to procreate! And who has he chosen to be the mother of his offspring? None other than our unflappable Captain Kathryn Janeway! And as you can imagine, hijinks ensue! Join us as we go boldly!

Yesterday the world lost a truly magnificent icon of stage and screen; the great James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93, leaving behind an immortal legacy that will never be forgotten. Join me as I share my thoughts on the life and career of this legendary man!

On this episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for last week! How is this possible, you might ask? Well, as the command crew of Deep Space 9 travel aboard the Defiant to a meeting on Earth, Sisko, Dax, and Bashir are accidently transported back in time to August 30th, 2024! What follows is a race against the clock to make sure history plays out as it should despite their presence in the past! Join us as we go boldly!

"Do, or do not; there is no try" is without a doubt one of the most famous lines in the history of cinema. It is also one of the most quoted pieces of pop philosophy in recent years. But what does it actually mean? How can you *do* something without first *trying* to do that thing? Join me as I share some thoughts about this profound statement by Master Yoda.

Natasha Liu Bordizzo, the actress behind the live-action incarnation of Sabine Wren on the "Ahsoka" series has said that they will begin filming the 2nd season of the show sometime next year. This is exciting news (which is hopefully true), so join me as I talk about why I'm happy to hear it!

The final line of 2019's The Rise of Skywalker is our young heroine Rey responds to the question "Rey who?" with the triumphant statement "Rey Skywalker". Join me as I explain why I think this name was the perfect choice for this great character!

This week on our show, the Schwartz is with us as we take a look at the 1987 comedy-parody Mel Brooks classic Spaceballs! Spoofing everything from Star Wars to 2001: A Space Odyssey, this film tells the story of the evil Dark Helmet attempting to steal the atmosphere from the planet Druidia just as the latter's princess, Vespa, is running away from an arranged marriage. As she attempts to flee her world, she is captured by Lord Helmet and it's up to the scoundrel Lone Starr to rescue Vespa and end the tyranny of the evil planet Spaceball!
