4: Abramsverse Star Trek

Scott and Arnold beam up to an alternate reality and shield their eyes from the lens flare (no, that will never get old) as they prepare to dive deep into the action-packed reinvention of the venerable STAR TREK franchise that some have dubbed “Abramsverse Trek!” So grab some beer, fill up the engine room tuns, rev it up to Warp Factor Whatever, and set phasers to “doesn’t transwarp beaming and magic blood ruin everything?”

Oh, and do we need to warn you that since we discuss both movies in depth, there’s a spoiler storm ahead akin to an asteroid field or a Mutara Nebula made entirely of spoilers? So now you know.

NOTE: We had another technical glitch, with some of Arnold’s audio making him sound a bit drunk (he doesn’t even drink!), but it’s yet another lesson learned for next time – remember to kill all background backups!

ALSO: Be warned, voices are raised a few times – maybe it’s just because of how much we care. Ultimately it’s all a result of us having a great time doing the show!

3: Ray Harryhausen

Ray Harryhausen was a legend long before he died on May 7, 2013, leaving behind a legacy of magical movies filled with extraordinary creatures, amazing adventures, and some of the most memorable moments emblazoned into the hearts and minds of generations of fantasy filmgoers. In this special tribute episode, Scott and Arnold talk about the career of a man that made rubber and metal into living icons of pop culture, from the giant monster invasions of the 1950s to the sorcerous exploits of Sinbad the Sailor and the beasts of classical mythology.

NOTE: We had a few occasional technical hiccups this time, resulting in slightly variable audio quality. It’s all sorted out now, and we’ll be back on track and sounding fantastic next episode!

ALSO: Scott wanted to correct a slip during the episode. ADI is Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc., linked below. We’ve also provided a link to the exciting Kickstarter campaign page for “Harbinger Down,” so check below!
