Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast

We begin a revisitation of Trek TV by introducing The Original Series to special guest, Stand-Up Comedian, Jen Ives, by handpicking three episodes for her to watch.  Liam presents his case for why 'The Corbomite Maneuver' truly sums up the mission statement of Star Trek, Paul enjoys the campy sets (and definitely the dresses) of 'Who Mourns for Adonais' and Matt loves the complex motivations fuelling Spock's actions in 'Journey to Babel'. While Jen is creeped out by McCoy, enjoys seeing the Spock family dynamic (especially thicc Sarek) and absolutely cannot handle these long running times.  Make it a VERY Good Friday and join Spocklight and co back in the kitschy 60s heyday of sci-fi television, what better way is there to celebrate Easter?!   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find Jen @jenivescomedy o

It’s...SHOWTIME! We’re joined by Boyd Hilton of the Pilot TV Podcast and Heat Magazine to dissect the much maligned Robert De Niro/Eddie Murphy buddy cop satire as we ask the big questions: Why wasn’t William Shatner promoted from fleeting cameo to full co-star status? How did this film cost $85 million? And most importantly, was Deniro still sexy in 2002?!   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find Boyd @boydhilton on Twitter and the Pilot TV Podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you catch your pods.

Join the Spocklight crew on a truly fantastic voyage with special guest, Empire magazine’s Nick de Semlyen, as we discuss the 1987 Joe Dante hidden classic, ‘Innerspace’, Starring Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, Meg Ryan and Star Trek: Voyager's very own... Robert Picardo as ‘The Cowboy’! Liam debates the outcome of a somewhat confused love triangle, Paul praises the now dearly departed Dick Miller, Matt recalls how seeing the film for the first time whilst in the grip of a delirious fever somehow made it even crazier, while our guest, Nick de Semlyen, tells us about his upcoming book, ‘Wild and Crazy Guys’, the Easy Riders, Raging Bulls of 80s comedy movies, as he contextualises the film within the cinematic era in which it was made. All this, plus a specially prepared statement from James Dyer of the Pilot TV Podcast. Come and twist the night away with us and download now, whether you be big, small or microscopic.

In a special crossover episode with ‘Easy Riders, Raging Podcast’, we’re joined by its host, Chris Johnston, to discuss the 1978 remake of ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ as we scream and point our way through the Leonard Nimoy starring sci-fi classic. And once you’ve listened to us be horrified by gloriously gory practical effects, explain why the Body Snatchers franchise is the sci-fi answer to ‘A Star is Born’ and praise a ‘Granny Slap’ for the ages, head over to the ‘Easy Riders, Raging Podcast’ feed on Saturday 26th January for Part 2 of our 1978 crossover special as we join Chris on his show to chat Paul Schrader’s directorial debut, ‘Blue Collar’.   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find ‘Easy Riders, Raging Podcast’ at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/easy-riders-raging-podcast/id1195855939
