Star Trek. The final frontier. These are the podcasts of three enthusiastic nerds. In Star Trek: The Original Series “Balance of Terror,” Kirk faces a tense standoff with the Romulans while the Enterprise crew wrestles with Cold War paranoia and a little too much suspicion of Spock. Sure, the Romulan Commander looks remarkably like Spock’s dad — but that’s showbiz, Mister. Jim is back at the helm, and A.Ron and Talitha are at their stations, ready to follow their captain into the Neutral Zone.

Dwayne Johnson tackles his first role in which there is Oscar potential. Directed by Benny Safdie, The Smashing Machine tells the story of Mark Kerr, an MMA fighter going through major highs and lows. Matching Dwayne Johnson’s intensity is Emily Blunt as his problematic partner. Do Jim and A.Ron see this film as a new direction in the Rock’s career, or will the Smashing Machine fall flat on its face?
We’re rereleasing Bald Move’s coverage of The Martian (2015) in honor of the film’s 10th anniversary! Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it. Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we’re about to spoil things, that’s your cue to get out while the getting is good. Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion.
Jim and A.Ron watch the Spike Lee joint, He Got Game (1998) starring Denzel Washington. Not only is it a great sports film, it’s a great father and son film. Opposite Washington stars a young Ray Allen and Milla Jovovich. At the end of the day, is Jake Shuttlesworth a good dad and guy?

Star Trek. The final frontier. These are the podcasts of three enthusiastic nerds. “To be, or not to be Kodos?” That’s the question in Star Trek: The Original Series “The Conscience of the King.” A.Ron and Talitha dig into the episode’s Shakespearean homage, the ghosts of Kirk’s past, and the deadliest substance known to man: Tetralubisol!
A.Ron is back with his buddy Pete Peppers to talk Foundation Season 3 one last time. Pete is a fellow Foundation book reader, so finally I have someone to go in depth with theories on where they’re going in the adaptation of Asimov’s work. Pete also found a collection of cut scenes in script form on Goyer’s site, which is the bulk of the first bit of this podcast. Be warned, spoilers for Foundation Season 4 and on! Stay away unless you’ve read the Foundation Series or don’t care about future spoilers!
In honor of the 30th Anniversary of the release of Seven (1995), we’re rereleasing the coverage! Special thanks to our community commissioners Fernando Rodriguez, Flash Gordon, Jefferson B, Katie Gutierrez, cocoa2mc, pooljedi, Martin K, shockg11, Keith Alejandro, Ryan L, and jmyjnstn67 for coming together and making this podcast on the 1995 David Fincher helmed “Seven” possible. Neither Jim nor I had seen this movie in it’s entirety, though some of us were more spoiled than others. We were surprised at how well the movie held up and managed to entertain despite the various exposure to spoilers. We discuss the film, it’s message, our own bleak/positive worldviews, and much more.
