The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Armageddon (the movie)11 Nov 202201:09:34

In our season two finale, Steve leads us on a quest to discuss the film that won the box office in 1998. This is a film that many either love or hate and we dive deep (not unlike its rival film, Deep Impact) into the debate on what is good, bad, and ugly about this film. We laugh a lot in this episode and so we hope you have fun listening to Adeena, Brian, Cris, and Steve having fun as they talk all things Armageddon and beyond!

The Science of Science Fiction04 Nov 202201:03:38

Adeena leads the crew this week on a voyage into the known of what we know about science and how it interacts with most sci-fi films and television.  How does the unknown of the infinite universes created by science fiction authors and film producers interact with the reality of the science we know to be true today?  Can a film or story have bad science and be a good or even great film?  Can we enjoy a film that has bad science but a great story?  Or does the lack of good science bother us so much that we turn it off and discard it?  This week, the crew asks these questions and more as we discuss the science of sci-fi.

The BIG Wrath of Khan Episode28 Oct 202201:24:06

This week we go on a trip down memory lane as we remember one of the greatest sequels ever made in film history - Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan!  This film has so much good about it. It has the action, the effects, the music, the story development and, most of all, the character development we loved in the original Trek.  Thanks to Saint Nick, WOK breathed much needed new life into the movie franchise and propelled the series into true legendary status.  The crew of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast are obviously passionate about this film as so many Trek fan are.  This is a "must listen" episode if you are a Trek fan.  Even if Trek isn't your thing, this episode just might make you want to watch or re-watch this fantastic film!

Moonfall: A Review, a Very Snarky Review21 Oct 202201:00:48

Cris presented us with the recent HBO film, Moonfall. Most of us watched it (accept for Steve - lucky guy!) and we discuss quite candidly our feelings concerning this disaster film.  Basically, the moon is falling from orbit into earth and there isn't much hope.  It's a real "pick-me-up" of a film!  Whatever the case and, whether you have watched this film, love it or hate it or somewhere in between...you will love listening to us talk about it!

John Billingsley Interview, Part 1 (Explicit Content)30 Sep 202201:13:35

The talented John Billingsley, best known for his portrayal as Dr. Phlox from Star Trek Enterprise, joins us this week (and next) as we talk about his time in Trek, as well as many of his other projects and passions such as reading and the Hollywood Food Coalition.  You don't want to miss this fun and intriguing episode.

This episode does have language that our typical episodes do not have.  Please be advised - this episode is PG-13!  It is rated (Explicit) for the occasional "colorful metaphor." Nevertheless, we had so much fun with John and he is a fantastic guest!  We were so thrilled to get the opportunity to talk with him and he was gracious with his time as this interview will be two parts...which we are excited for.

Michael Moore is best known by sci-fi fans as a prop maker for shows like TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT, along with 4 TNG films, and the Hobbit films.  His credentials are superb and impressive as he has worked on hundreds of films and television shows. It was a pleasure to have him on the show and to learn about behind the scenes stuff that us Trekkies love! Our time with Michael was highly enjoyable and interesting...so much so that we had to break it up into two parts!

You could describe this episode as our "horror" episode, but it's really just about the most horrible films in sci-fi (according to us)!  These are the films that frustrated and annoyed us, that made us want our money and time back!  These films are the ones we never recommend to anyone!  In fact, we warn people to stay away from them!  That being the case, we also have a lot of fun discussing these films and giving you, our listeners, valuable information so you can remain the happy, smart people you are.  Consider this episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast to be our BIG PSA!

MST3K: Manos, The Hands of Fate - w/ Special Guest, Jackey Neyman Jones06 May 202201:05:23

Jackey Neyman Jones joins us for this week's conversation as we talk about one of the most popular episodes of Mystery Science Theater: 3K which covered the 1966 film, Manos the Hands of Fate. Jackey plays the little girl in the film, Debbie. Her father, Tom Neyman, played the master in the film and was an accomplished stage actor.  Besides being one of the most popular and hilarious episodes of MST3K, this film is also considered to be one of the worst films of all time. We had the privilege to sit down with Jackey to talk about the story of Manos, her father, MST3K, her experience while filming Manos, as well as what she has been up to in recent years. Jackey is a talented artist and is producing amazing artwork and is a part of a new independent production that is seeking to make a series based on Manos (see link below). This is a fascinating look into a strange and fun part of film history. We were delighted to talk with Jackey and you will be delighted to hear her stories and how you can actually connect with her and her artwork.
