Casual Trek

13. My Oath of Celibacy is on Record

It’s time to go to the movies! Yes, we’re covering Star Trek: The Motion Picture! We’re also watching The Changeling which is a very comparable episode to the movie. It’s an episode where a giant floating electric toothbrush threatens the ship, Earth and causes the first redshirt deaths we’ve seen on the podcast so far!

Timecodes:

Talking points include: Alien, Flash Gordon, presenting the podcast in widescreen or pan & scan depending on your podcatcher, the Eccleston Doctor Who, The Invisibles, Everything Everywhere All At Once, GI Joe Origins: Snake Eyes Origins (which I stress was NOT a recommendation), maths (ugh), whether Nomad is Doctor Who cheap or Tomorrow People cheap, Professor X’s callous disregard for human life, the Clangers reboot, Guillermo Del Toro’s Raggydolls, a gritty Bill & Ben reboot, Pinky & Perky, Alien franchise novelisation writer Alan Dean Foster, Charlie was (and is) a big nerd, West Side Story, Blake’s 7, Yacht Captain Kirk, that time Chris Claremont came back to the X-Men, a casual appreciation of Star Wars, Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, comparisons to Green Lantern and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and occasionally Star Trek.
