The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast 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.

The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast 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.

The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast 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!

A Sci-Fi Fan Who Writes Fresh Sherlock Holmes Tales! We had the delightful opportunity to spend an evening with Christopher D. Abbott, a reader's favorite award-winning author and a true master of storytelling.

THE ONE WITH BROKEN BONES, AND BABIES Happy New Year listeners! Haley and Sara are back to tickle those ear drums with our nonsense. That's right, the holidays are over, let's get back to business and talk Trek! This episode is a literal disaster! No really it is, we're talking about the episode titled Disaster, you know the one... Worf delivers a baby, Data takes head off...again, and Troi is a total boss! If you hate that TNG episode, then listen anyways as we talk briefly about gum under desks, food on conveyer belts and silly things your beloved TNG characters say. All that and more as we warp speed into 2024. Thanks to Bill and Dan, 5 Year Mission, FanSets and all of you listeners for being the best!

It's the finale of Season 2 of Star Trek the Next Generation - where, during a real life writer's strike (not the one that just happened but back in '89) - we're left with a somewhat anticlimactic finale that is nevertheless a semi-charming flashback of the first two seasons of this legendary series. We thought plants could get you high but wow, wait until you see the fever dream that Riker has as he beams down to an alien planet with absolutely zero PPE and is stabbed by an alien vine. Ruthie and Matthew reflect on the episode as well as completing the first two seasons of their podcast! Thank you all for being along for this ride across the light years. Season 3 inbound!

Did Yoda get it wrong when he said "Do or Do Not, There is No Try?" Picard has an answer to that when this episode features one of his most quoted lines "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." In this episode, Ruthie and Matthew talk about failure, the difficulty in being bad at something before getting good at something, and how we handle the burden of perfectionism - especially as an android!

The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast 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!).
