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.
Join us on this month’s Patreon edition of the Off the Clock podcast for discussion of HBO’s new and strange Lovecraft Country, the second half of the Netflix Michael Jordan / Chicago Bulls documentary The Last Dance, and the pilot of Greg Daniels / Amazon’s futuristic sitcom Upload. We also briefly go into our plans for future Empire Business episodes.
Club members get access to a live recording of Lunch with Jim & A.Ron every Friday at 1pm, where members get to ask questions in real time. On the fifth anniversary of Lunch with Jim & A.Ron, we started reheating previous lunch episodes and making them available to the public for the first time.
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.

Jim and A.Ron discuss sailing, island getaways, dispense first time convention goer advice, talk about David Simon’s newest HBO effort, “Show Me A Hero”, and our thoughts on “Ballers” and “The Brink”.
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.
