Hello! It’s a new year and another brand new episode of The Flickcast to keep things going..
To commemorate the second episode of 2021 and the second (in a row!) episode that Joe has been able to be on, the boys stick to the basics and talk about some new and recurring topics. Some of these include the battle between art and commerce, HBOs’ Westworld, The Mandalorian, the latest season of Star Trek: Discovery and the amazing new season of The Expanse.

It’s that time again. Time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. This week we’re doing our “Being Thankful” episode just in time for the Monday following Thanksgiving.
Better late than never, right? Plus, it is Cyber Monday, after all. So . . . On this week’s episode Chris and Joe talk about, you guessed it, what they’re thankful for this year and in general. Naturally, the talk turns to various films, television and pop culture and, sadly, spills over onto COVID a bit too. What did you expect?
Some of these non-covid topics include Star Wars, Star Trek, The Mandalorian, Netflix movies and series such as Enola Holmes and The Queen’s Gambit and lots of music and more. And, of course the usual even more.
It’s a packed episode chock full of thankful goodness and positive positivity. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for listening.

On this episode Chris and Joe tackle a subject they don’t discuss very often: horror movies. That’s right, in honor of it being October and with Halloween coming up, the boys talk about some of their favorite horror films, what they like and don’t like about the genre and generally what scares them. Hint: it’s not clowns, although they are pretty scary.
And even if they don’t get completely into horror movies this time, they will on a special upcoming episode with a great guest. You’ll want to be here for that one. Meantime, they also get back into upcoming Marvel film and TV, heap even more praise on Enola Holmes, Millie Bobby Brown and the rest of the cast and renew their commitment to all-things Star Trek. Plus, the usual more.
This is gonna be a shorter episode synopsis as the actual episode is late due to some technical difficulties. So, we’ll just let it (and Chris & Joe) speak for themselves. Thanks for listening.

Hey there, it’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. It’s a great day.
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new stuff including the new season of Game of Thrones, more on Star Trek: Discovery and more. Plus, the usual even more. And make sure to check out our Producer/Editor Michael Seidl’s award-winning short film The Tortoise and the Eagle. He and his team did a great job.
No beer selections again this week because the boys are recording in the morning again. And drinking in the morning is, well, probably a bad idea. Anyway, if you do drink beer (or whatever), try to buy local. Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the original Star Trek series episode The Doomsday Machine and Joe’s pick of the game West of Loathing.

We’re so ready for this to arrive. Looking forward to the new Star Trek movie from J.J. Abrams becuase we know it’s gonna be great.
And if this new trailer is any indication, it may just surpass the first one. A tough task, to be sure, but we think Mr. Abrams and company are up to it.
Now, bask in the awesomeness of the new Star Trek: Into Darkness trailer. After the break, of course.
Benderspink is teaming up with Roddenberry Entertainment to co-develop television and film adaptations of Days Missing. This will mark the first Roddenberry property to find its way to the big screen since J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek and the first TV show based on a Roddenberry property since Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda and Star Trek: Enterprise.
“We see this as such a strong concept that it could be done as a television show and feature trilogy at the same time,” says JC Spink, Co-Founder of Benderspink. “And, we’re extremely excited to work with Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth.”
Days Missing chronicles 24 hour periods of time that have changed the course of human evolution, but have been erased from human memory by a mystical and ancient being known as The Steward. These “days missing,” recorded in the annals of The Steward’s library, represent a lost human history that explains much more about who we are than we ever knew.
For me and many of my friends, one of our endless debates will always be: Star Trek or Star Wars? Like Coke vs. Pepsi, Ginger vs. Mary Ann or Mac vs. Windows, geeks always have a fun time debating the merits of their favorite things.
One of those favorite things celebrating a milestone today is Gene Roddenberry’s venerable franchise Star Trek. 45 years ago today the show first aired on NBC and from that moment on it spawned generations of devoted fans and turned into a worldwide phenomenon beloved by millions of people all over the world.
To help celebrate that milestone, the Science Channel is working with Gene Roddenberry’s only son, Rod Roddenberry, to produce the world premiere documentary, Trek Nation.
According to the Science Channel, the film “shadows Gene Roddenberry’s son, Rod, as he explores his family legacy and the crusade his father’s passion and curiosity for exploration. Through interviews with his most devoted fans, including George Lucas and J.J. Abrams, Trek Nation follows a son searching for the wisdom of his father.”
Sounds pretty interesting. Think I’ll give it a look.
Trek Nation is set to air on Wednesday, November 30 only on Science Channel. Check out a new clip from the doc after the break.
Sure, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Picard, Riker and the rest of the “good guys” have always been the primary focus of Star Trek movies, TV shows and even comic based on the series. But what about the cool bad guys?
Well, at least one of them is finally getting his due in IDW’s just announced comic series based on the hugely popular Star Trek villain Khan. First made popular by the late Ricardo Montalban in the priginal Star Trek series, Khan will now live on and continue his story in comic book form.
According IDW:
“What happened to Khan and his followers on Ceti Alpha V? Star Trek: Khan: Ruling in Hellanswers just that, explaining how this once proud warrior-king turns into the grizzled maniac seen in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan.”
In addition to the comic, IDW will also be offering a plush doll in conjunction with the release, available exclusively at comic dealers or via comicshoplocator.com.
Star Trek: Khan: Ruling in Hell will be written by Scott and David Tipton, with Fabio Mantovani bringing the story to life by doing the art.The first comic will be 32 pages and will be released in October.
