This episode takes John D. and Gen back to the Genesis planet in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. We noted that the bar scene looks like the Star Wars Cantina, arcade games are still made with vector graphics and Doc Brown is one mean Klingon. We also discuss the political implications of Klingons as well as their dangerous sense of honor. We tangent all over the place and explain why The Lion King is a perfect date movie, the relevance of a theatrical trailer that shows all the best scenes and why Gen is not playing Fallout New Vegas yet. This is our craziest podcast EVER. We ask the question: With which SF character would you have a beer?

This episode takes John D. and Gen aboard the Enterprise as we launch the Star Trek arc starting with a double feature including an episode from the Original Series: "Space Seeds’’ and ‘’Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’’! We of course talk about Ricardo Montalban's chest, the Shat's acting abilities and the introduction of the Kobayashi Maru. We tangent all over the place, talking about John D. meeting Kevin Smith, Gen's Halloween costume, Leonard Nimoy's career, why we are afraid of teleportation and the arrival of Netflix in Canada. For some reason we can’t stop screaming ‘’KHHAAAANNNN’’ and wonder how many fans stop the Shat in the street while screaming it. |

This episode takes John D. and Gen back to a 1885 Hill Valley in Back to the Future III. We discuss Marty's incredible strength in his capacity to carry Doc on his back, the weird DNA heritage of the McFly lineage and the need for a clock tower in a town with only about four houses. We establish that Marty has his priorities straight by going directly to the saloon and getting a "smoking wisky’’ when he gets to town. We also try to understand why 1985 Doc doesn’t remember what his 1955 version found out about his future, which actually happened in the past... and we lose ourselves in the fourth dimension. This brings an end to our Back to the Future arc. Hopefully no remakes are in the works. |

This episode takes John D. and Frank into the world of John Hughes as we revisit Weird Science. We share stories from our teenage years, remember what a VHS was and try to understand how this movie got a PG-13 rating. We comment on Kelly LeBrock as the perfect computer-made woman, her 80’s style clothing and how she would not be the kind of woman a Mac would create. God bless the 80’s for some of the most beautiful haircuts we’ve ever seen. |
