    Silver Screen Podcast - Ready Player One Review

    Explicit

    Episode 74 - "Three hidden challenges test worthy traits, revealing three hidden keys to three magic gates. And those with the skill to survive these strengths will reach the end, where the prize awaits." Welcome "Gunters" to another new episode of this here Silver Screen Podcast. If you didn't infer from the reference, this time we're looking at Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's ode to geek culture 'Ready Player One'. D.K is our Parzival this episode, alongside co-host Mike (who's recovering from an Oasis-esque geek experience at North-East Comic Con). They're "clanning up" with two guests; returnee and Gundam fan Tobi and first-time guest (and another self-proclaimed 80s "anorak") Glenn. They'll be talking Easter Eggs, references, writing, direction, pop culture, how the film relates to the source novel and much more. So pause your copy of 'The Shining', strap into your X1 haptic bootsuit, grab your Zemeckis cube, dress your avatar like Buckaroo Banzai and join us in The Distracted Globe. No Sixers allowed!

Although if you're director Stuart Baird you may wish we weren't. Yes, this time around we're heading to the big screen. Mike and D.K are joined by first time guests Justin and Nita to discuss the critically reviled movie that some claim killed off the franchise for a while; Star Trek: Nemesis. Talking dune buggies, Nosferatu rip-offs, a young Tom Hardy and so much more. So have Troi take the helm and prepare for ramming speed, it's going to get bumpy...

    HoM: Star Trek - "Eye of the Needle" & More

    Series 5, Episode 6 - "I'm just going to be sneaking over here." Oh no, those dastardly Romulans have finally gotten D.K. They got sick of his insults and now he's off for "re-education", or at least sitting this episode out. This is also the last episode before we take a short mid-series break. But worry not, Captain Mike has recruited two fine guests; returning from our earlier "Unification I & II" review is Allison. She's joined by first-time guest, long-time fan and epic "audience response" contributor Justin. They'll be discussing, this can't be right, a nice, honourable & three-dimensional Romulan? Oh, D.K is gonna be mad he missed this. That's right, we're talking Telek & much R'mor (I see you groaning) as we peek through Harry Kim's micro wormhole (behave) to examine the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Eye of the Needle". Ignore that weird suspace variance and beam over to us now for an enjoyable, in-depth episode. Music by Timeless Journey. Visit soundcloud.com/timelessjourney.
