The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast

Discussing the popular, iconic, and graphic film

RoboCop was a film that sparked the imagination of movie-goers and launched a franchise. It is iconic, cheesy, violent, and filled with satire. Our crew discusses all the gruesome details of this film and talk about what makes it great and not so great. We have our opinions and whether you're a fan of this film or not, we hope you will enjoy our conversation.

Actress, Mother, Songwriter, and more!

(THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON JULY 5, 2023, PRIOR TO THE STRIKE BY SAG-AFTRA.)

We were pleased to visit with the multi-talented Margot Rose who portrayed Eline (Picard's wife) in one of TNG's most popular episodes, The Inner Light. We talk all about this amazing and touching episode, get some great behind the scenes stories along the way, but we were fascinated to learn that Margot is a gifted songwriter and is working on her own stage production to honor the life of her daughter. You'll want to sit down with a warm cup of earl grey for this one! We fell in love with Margot and you will, too!

More Than Meets The Eye

We unpack the action-packed film that brought Transformers to the "big screen" in 2007! This special effects heavy film still looks great in 2023 and we talk about the things we love and flat out hate about this film. We mostly love it, though! There's always a lot to talk about when we sit down together to talk about sci-fi films like this one! Calling all autobots for a fun and exciting episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!

This week we discuss the work of science fiction legend, Harlan Ellison. Whether you're a fan or a critic, his work continues to stand the test of time. Star Trek fans love him for his contribution to the original series in City on the Edge of Forever. His career covered lots of ground, so much so, that we couldn't begin to fit it all in one episode. So we chose the material that speaks most powerfully to us.

We had some technical difficulty in the episode and Cris can only be heard at the beginning of the recording. He was having internet issues and could only be with us for a few short minutes. Nevertheless, we think you'll find this week's episode fascinating and engaging!

Bruce Horak portrayed Hemmer in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and quickly became a fan favorite. Then, they killed him off the show! It was one of the most beautiful and tragic moments in Trek history (in our opinion). We had the chance to visit with this dynamic and multi-talented actor and artist.

You will love the stories from his experience with Trek as well has hearing about his other projects and interests in life. Bruce is quite the gentleman and we loved having him on the show. We're proud to call him a new friend of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!
