Series 5, Episode 8 - "So, Tobi, what do you think of the big, fat D?"

We're back! Keeping things ticking over with a brand new (monthly) episode of our Romulan-themed series, ahead of the return of weekly episodes very soon. This time we're looking at the Next Generation episode "The Defector". DK is again sitting this one out (he really doesn't like those Romulans!) so Captain Michael is joined by a couple of very special guests, both opening a channel from Germany coincidentally enough. Firstly we have first-time guest Elle, a self-confessed huge Trek/sci-fi geek from the golden generation of the 70s & 80s. Also joining is first-time Trek guest, but multiple-time Silver Screen Podcast guest, Tobi. He's been challenged to watch his very first full episode of Trek and share his thoughts. Will he love or hate this tale of Romulan intrigue, spy antics and double-crossing? All this plus the usual Trek introductory briefing and a short Hit or Miss section. So turn off that Shakespeare program, ignore the ship blowing up outside the window and pay close attention to this intriguing episode...

1:00 - Intros & Hailing Frequencies Open (connections to Trek and Elle's many contextual favourite things)

25:00 - Hit or Miss section

40:40 - Begin Analysis (Behind the Scenes of the episode)

44:01 - Episode Review

Episode 77 - "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle"

Well, our intended guest for this episode got lost in the time stream so this episode you're left with the podcast veterans "Mike-800" and "DK-1000" (Cyberdyne Podcaster Models 101). But if you thought it would be a lighter, shorter episode then whoo boy are you in for a surprise. We're following up last year's review of 'The Terminator' by looking at the hugely famous and influential sequel 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day', and our dynamic duo have a LOT to say about it. There's a miniature deep dive into the making of the film, a thorough review, an examination of the groundbreaking effects, the deep science-fiction plotting, the moral lessons, the iconic lines and so much more including a look at the various special editions. So "come with us if you want to listen" to a discussion of arguably the greatest sequel ever made. "Hasta la vista, baby!"

Cinema Classics Number 4 - "It's a madhouse! A MAAAADHOUSE!!!"

With the Kingdom having just opened it's gates to cinema patrons we here at Cinema Classics felt it was a good time to look back at the original 1968 classic 'Planet of the Apes'. Our regular Cornelius and Taylor (aka Mike & D.K) are both here sharing host duties. They're joined by first time Silver Screen guest and Planet of the Apes superfan Nita from Sci-Fi Queens Podcast. Our wise trio will discuss cultural impact, underlying themes, origins, personal opinions and much more, including a whole lot of quoting from both the movie and a particular classic Simpsons episode (you know the one, I'm sure). So obey the Lawgiver and step with us into the Forbidden Zone as we dissect this iconic science-fiction classic.
