The Black Hole
Mar 15 2024
The Black Hole
The 1979 Disney Sci-Fi Film The year is 1979. The name of the movie is The Black Hole. This sci-fi film from Disney was it's own kind of something else, in our opinion. Part 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and part 2001: A Space Odyssey. It had some nice touches and pieces, but does it stand the test of time? Listen to this week's episode to find out what our courageous crew has to say about this ambitious and interesting film that rounded out a decade of interesting and ambitious sci-fi films.

Silent Running
The 1972 Sci-Fi Film Come with us as we explore this one-of-a-kind conservation sci-film from the mind and heart of the legendary Douglas Trumbull. His direction of this 1972 film was unexpected, but executed with great love and care for the message of taking better care of our planet.

We hope you'll have fun listening and, if you've never seen this film, that you might give it a chance!

Explorers
The 1985 Sci-Fi Film Young Ethan Hawke and young River Phoenix star in this 1985 lack luster sci-fi film that had heart and good editing. We still had fun talking about this little known film that was outshined at the box office, coming out just one week after the release of another little film known as Back To The Future. Even if it's release would have been a bit more strategic, this film struggles on so many levels but, like we said, it has heart! Check out our review of this film and get ready to have fun, because we are particularly banter-full on this episode!

Star Trek: Nemesis
Jan 5 2024
Star Trek: Nemesis
Revisiting the Last TNG Film Star Trek: Nemesis spelled the end of The Next Generation era of Trek. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times - depending on how you felt about this film! Heralded as a grand exit for the TNG crew, it left most fans feeling indifferent or disappointed. The BIG Sci-Fi crew decided to watch it again (some of us for the first time in years!) to see if we would feel differently about it having watched with fresh eyes and a more mature perspective. You'll have to listen to find out what we think about the film that sent the TNG crew packing...at least until Picard rolled around (thank God!).

Neelix Appreciation Episode
We love Neelix, yes we do! We love Neelix, how 'bout you? Neelix was a one of a kind alien regular on Star Trek: Voyager. Played by the talented actor, Ethan Phillips, Neelix was a character most people loved as he brought a lot of the show's humor and sensitivity to the forefront of the episodes he was featured in. Love him or dislike him (because hate is way too strong of a word!), we wanted to talk about this pivotal character to a beloved part of the Trek franchise.
