This podcast was made possible by the generous support of Ann Merin. We thoroughly enjoyed this love letter to Star Trek. It’s got a shockingly deep roster of actors, launched the careers of at least 2 comedic talents, and showcases some outstanding effects work, considering the modest budget. It’s absolutely worth a watch if you’re a fan of Star Trek and somehow haven’t seen it.

This week we’re rectifying a grave injustice in the Bald Move catalog. After covering movies and TV for over 10 years, we have somehow never talked about a single Alfred Hitchcock film. Well, that all changes today.
Our coverage of season 9 of The Walking Dead shambles on with episode 11, “Bounty”, in which a baby is nearly eaten, King Ezekiel risks his kingdom for a movie projector bulb, and Daryl turns out to be the hilltops ace hostage negotiator.
We’re kicking off our coverage of The Boys with a preview podcast for season 2 designed to remind you what happened in season 1 and give our general feelings on the 2nd season as it stands after having seen the first 3 episodes.
After directing The Witch, one of the most unsettling horror movies of the last decade, Robert Eggers has done it again with The Lighthouse, a film that defies description. Willem Defoe and Robert Pattinson both deliver astounding performances in this largely underrated tale about two lighthouse attendants (“wickies”) who have to make the best of a bad situation. Join us on the podcast, preferably after you’ve seen the movie, for the full discussion.
Flashbacks galore in this week’s episode of The Walking Dead. The episode tries to convince us that a young girl who wears the skin of the dead, roaming the countryside murdering other survivors for no real reason is a sympathetic character. Does it work? Join us on the podcast to find out!
