Pod on Fire

Your hosts Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) search for Spock and also watch 1984’s The Search For Spock. Along with that, they also jump to the Short Treks series to watch “Ephraim and Dot.”

Your hosts Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) scream ‘Khan’ and also watch 1982’s The Wrath of Khan. Along with that they watch The Original Series episode that started it all, “Space Seed.”

Your hosts Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) start their journey through the star-studded film franchise with 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture, along with The Original Series episode “The Changeling.”

To boldly go where other podcasts have gone before, but now it’s Talk Film Society doing it! Your hosts Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) talk about their thoughts on Star Trek overall as they prepare to dive through the film franchise, while also watching episodes from all the series. Live long and podcast; no one has said that right?

We boldly go where we’ve never gone before… Star Trek. That’s right, we’re going through each Star Trek film, breaking them down, while also watching episodes from the TV series. But first, your hosts Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) formally announce their trek while discussing the newly announced series Strange New Worlds and the Short Treks episodes featuring characters from the new show. And stay tuned for the official start of Trek Film Society, coming soon to Talk Film Society! (Originally published May 19, 2020.)

IT’S HERE! After months of waiting and recording episodes along the way, Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) have reached the end of their Michael Bay series (for now) with 2019’s 6 Underground, starring Ryan Reynolds and Mélanie Laurent and at least four others! Is this the “most” Michael Bay movie since Bad Boys II? What about the fact that it’s on Netflix and only a very small number of the population will ever get to experience this on the big screen? What about the moral questions that come up with the number of bodies that pile up over the course of two hours? All this and so much more is discussed, along with the Bayhem trio’s personal rankings of Michael Bay’s filmography. Thanks for listening.

Anthony Hopkins says “cool” in a very Anthony Hopkins way in 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight, plus there are robots fighting; Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) are here to talk about it!

Michael Bay is once again entrusted to put history on screen with 2016’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) dig into the messy political-charged action film, starring John Krasinski and James Badge Dale. If anything, Bay adds his own unique brand of action and violence to this real story of soldiers fighting for their lives.

It’s another Transformers movie. Dear god. Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) dive back into Transformersville with 2014’s Transformers: Age of Extinction. Honestly, at this point, it’s pretty hard to decipher these Bay robot movies… oh this one has Mark Wahlberg! And TJ Miller gets brutally killed, so that’s a plus.

This is Michael Bay’s America and we’re just living in it. Marcelo (@MarceloJPico), Mike (@mumbles3k), and Diego (@thediegocrespo) talk about 2013’s Pain and Gain, starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, and Anthony Mackie. Is this THE Michael Bay masterpiece? Probably not, but it’s worth the discussion.
