  • Davy Perez

    Writer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Davy Perez joined us for a fun conversation about writing for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (seasons 1 and 2). He shares fascinating insights into the process for writing for this much beloved new series. He couldn't share anything concerning season 3, but we promise that there is a lot of interesting insight into the episodes he worked on and behind the scenes fun. He's an accomplished writer and producer and it was a great pleasure to learn about his life outside of Trek as well!

  • The Black Hole

    The 1979 Disney Sci-Fi Film

    The year is 1979. The name of the movie is The Black Hole. This sci-fi film from Disney was it's own kind of something else, in our opinion. Part 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and part 2001: A Space Odyssey. It had some nice touches and pieces, but does it stand the test of time? Listen to this week's episode to find out what our courageous crew has to say about this ambitious and interesting film that rounded out a decade of interesting and ambitious sci-fi films.
