CLL 42 - Technology Throwdown01 Jul 202500:52:30

In episode 42 of Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers, Chris and Jonathan reunite to compare and contrast the different types of technology in Star Trek and Star Wars. They wonder if phasers and blasters have similar technologies behind them. Is the Holo-Net like the Holodeck? Is a tricorder more useful than a droid? And finally, they tackle the age-old question of who would win in a fight between a Starfleet Vessel and the Death Star, just for fun! Before they get into that discussion, Chris and Jonathan talk about an upcoming trip to the Shore Leave convention in Lancaster, PA, trivia competitions, and the ap-peel of seeing the Savannah Bananas.

CLL #32 - Past/Future Tense

Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is back for its final episode of 2023 and we take a look in the rear view mirror at our favorite Star Trek and Star Wars projects throughout the year. Jonathan waxes poetic about a video game, Chris and Jonathan rehash their adoration for Picard Season 3, and more! The hosts also mention some of the things they’re looking forward to in 2024 from both franchises, despite an overall lack of information about what’s to come from either franchise. Before Chris and Jonathan discuss past and future things, they catch up the audience on their personal and professional lives, Jonathan talks about seeing John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Chris and Jonathan discuss their coverage of Steel City Con for Geek News Now as well as talk about their personal experiences at the December show.

CLL #31 - Benjamin Sisko15 Oct 202301:15:55

Geek News Now is “FUELED BY THE FANS” and Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is too! On Star Trek Day, September 8, Geek News Now posted a photo asking YOU to react to your favorite Starfleet captain. The post was notably missing one Captain Benjamin Sisko and y’all let us know it! There were hundreds of comments asking about Sisko, so seeing as how Star Trek is kinda our thing, the hosts of CLL decided to get together and pick their favorite Sisko episodes and the things that we feel make Sisko a unique personality and a wonderful Starfleet captain! We brought back John Mark Tolly from the GNN shows War of the Stars: A Star Wars Podcast and Star Wars Through The Eyes of a Child to wax poetic about the inimitable Benjamin Sisko!

CLL #29 - Picard S3, Pt. 224 Jul 202301:09:19

Episode 29 of CLL joins an already in-progress discussion of Season 3 of Star Trek Picard.  Jonathan, Chris, and Mikey of the Deucecast Movie Show talk Episodes 6-10 of Picard’s final season.  It should go without saying, but there are full spoilers for the plot of the season throughout the discussion.  Jonathan kicks off the show with an announcement about an upcoming guest interview on the podcast.  Since the initial recording was almost 3 hours, the three hosts get a little delirious towards the end, but there’s some fun stuff that gets left in.  Thanks again for continuing to listen to the show.  We’d love for you to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.  Check the links below the chapter stops for everywhere to find the show and subscribe to The Deucecast Movie Show!

Chris and Jonathan are joined by Mikey from the Deuceast Movie Show Podcast to break down the incredible third season of Star Trek Picard!  The discussion was so lively and in depth that it ran for nearly THREE HOURS!  So we’re releasing it in two parts the month of July, as Episodes 28 and 29.  


Episode 28 of CLL has the usual stuff like How Did You Geek This Week and a couple news stories.  Then, the first five episodes of Picard season three are discussed before the ending theme for the podcast kicks in.  Fun was had in this first half, some potshots are taken at the Sequel trilogy, and much 12 Monkeys love gets showered upon the show!

CLL 40 - What Makes a Leader?01 Apr 202500:57:27

Chris and Jonathan go back to the roots of Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers when the episode topics were more of a compare and contrast format between Star Wars and Star Trek. What makes a leader? Chris put together a fantastic dissection of the various leadership styles we see in Star Trek and Star Wars. Using several Star Trek captains as examples Chris breaks down each one’s unique style of leadership, the similarities they share, and more. Then the discussion turns to the leadership styles of the core Star Wars characters that served in leadership roles.

Welcome to a very special episode of Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers as we commemorate Star Wars Podcast Day 2022! On February 7, 1999, the first episode of Jedi Talk was released. This was the very first podcast to discuss Star Wars. With this episode, we honor the contributions to fandom that Jedi Talk made by keeping the conversation centered around Star Wars. On episode 14 of CLL, Jonathan and Chris discuss their thoughts on the first 6 episodes of The Book of Boba Fett. Instead of a full breakdown of each episode, the boys discuss their favorite things about each episode as well as address anything that didn’t work for them in each episode. No news, no Star Trek this week….just BoBF!

CLL#7 - Toying About The Galaxy14 Apr 202101:38:20

Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers Episode 7 is finally here after an extra week due to the Easter holiday! This extra-length episode finds Jonathan and Chris catching up on the massive amounts of news from First Contact Day 2021, the Obi-Wan Series cast announcement, the Bad Batch Trailer, and wait for it…a surprise teaser that came straight from Disney Parks!

The feature discussion for this episode is the final in their trilogy of the influences of Star Wars on Trek in the 1970s and beyond. For this episode, the boys talk about the real moneymaker when it comes to both Star Trek and Star Wars…the toys! They discuss the history of how Kenner obtained the Star Wars license and how the company knocked it out of the park with their figures, vehicles, and more! The conversation then shifts to the more rocky history and questionable decisions made by the many Star Trek toy licensees. Towards the end of the feature discussion, Chris and Jonathan reminisce about missing a local Pittsburgh-area department store that is now defunct.

CLL #4 - Back to the 70s25 Feb 202101:01:28

Chris takes the lead on the feature discussion this episode as he and Jonathan discuss the influences of Star Wars on bringing back Star Trek.  They discuss the history of Star Trek in the early 1970s before the release of Star Wars in 1977.  The film that forever changed the box office naturally had a huge impact on the Star Trek franchise and shifted the plan that Paramount had for its major science fiction franchise.  All this, and of course all the news stories from the past two weeks on Episode 4 of CLL.

On episode 35 of CLL, Jonathan is joined by John Ambrose from the Geek News Now writing team. Ambrose has been a staff writer for GNN for just about one year and he recently published his 100th article for the site. Ambrose has a lot of available spaces on his geeky bingo card and is launching a new project called “An Old Geek Watches” where he tries to catch up on the geeky things in media that he’s missed up to this point in his life. He’s starting to watch Star Trek from the very beginning to start to fill in those gaps. Jonathan wanted to bring Ambrose on to answer his questions about Trek and to find out what his awareness of the franchise consists of.
