The Black Hole Mar 15, 2024

The 1979 Disney Sci-Fi Film

The year is 1979. The name of the movie is The Black Hole. This sci-fi film from Disney was it's own kind of something else, in our opinion. Part 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and part 2001: A Space Odyssey. It had some nice touches and pieces, but does it stand the test of time? Listen to this week's episode to find out what our courageous crew has to say about this ambitious and interesting film that rounded out a decade of interesting and ambitious sci-fi films.

Silent Running Mar 01, 2024

The 1972 Sci-Fi Film

Come with us as we explore this one-of-a-kind conservation sci-film from the mind and heart of the legendary Douglas Trumbull. His direction of this 1972 film was unexpected, but executed with great love and care for the message of taking better care of our planet. Ahead of it's time in some ways, and troubling in others, we talk about this film from all the angles. We hope you'll have fun listening and, if you've never seen this film, that you might give it a chance!

The 1985 Sci-Fi Film

Young Ethan Hawke and young River Phoenix star in this 1985 lack luster sci-fi film that had heart and good editing. We still had fun talking about this little known film that was outshined at the box office, coming out just one week after the release of another little film known as Back To The Future. Even if it's release would have been a bit more strategic, this film struggles on so many levels but, like we said, it has heart! Check out our review of this film and get ready to have fun, because we are particularly banter-full on this episode!

The Delightful Author: Christopher D. Abbott Feb 11, 2024

A Sci-Fi Fan Who Writes Fresh Sherlock Holmes Tales!

We had the delightful opportunity to spend an evening with Christopher D. Abbott, a reader's favorite award-winning author and a true master of storytelling. From his passion for Dr. Who to his best-selling Sherlock Holmes novels and novellas, Chris' journey through the genres of crime, fantasy, science fiction, and horror was nothing short of fascinating. We were thoroughly captivated by his insights and stories, and you will be too! Don’t miss this episode, or you'll be left wondering if Sherlock himself might deduce your absence as a case of 'The Missing Listener.'

Star Trek: Nemesis Jan 05, 2024

Revisiting the Last TNG Film

Star Trek: Nemesis spelled the end of The Next Generation era of Trek. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times - depending on how you felt about this film! Heralded as a grand exit for the TNG crew, it left most fans feeling indifferent or disappointed. The BIG Sci-Fi crew decided to watch it again (some of us for the first time in years!) to see if we would feel differently about it having watched with fresh eyes and a more mature perspective. You'll have to listen to find out what we think about the film that sent the TNG crew packing...at least until Picard rolled around (thank God!).

Neelix Appreciation Episode Dec 22, 2023

We love Neelix, yes we do! We love Neelix, how 'bout you?

Neelix was a one of a kind alien regular on Star Trek: Voyager. Played by the talented actor, Ethan Phillips, Neelix was a character most people loved as he brought a lot of the show's humor and sensitivity to the forefront of the episodes he was featured in. Love him or dislike him (because hate is way too strong of a word!), we wanted to talk about this pivotal character to a beloved part of the Trek franchise.

Join us as we dive into our own dream world of what we wish the planners would come up with in Trek.

Star Trek: Insurrection Aug 25, 2023

A Look Back at an Often Overlooked Trek Film

Star Trek: Insurrection is a film most TNG fans never got particularly excited about. It's probably not on anyone's top 5 favorite Trek films, however, it's probably better than you remember! In this hysterical and out of control episode, our crew, having recently re-watched the film, discuss its highs and lows with fresh perspective. You don't want to miss a single moment of this week's episode because it is filled with tons of banter back and forth about what our crew loves and could live without when it comes to the 1998 film, Star Trek: Insurrection.

The 1987 Film - RoboCop Aug 11, 2023

We have our opinions and whether you're a fan of this film or not, we hope you will enjoy our conversation.

Interview with Margot Rose Aug 04, 2023

Actress, Mother, Songwriter, and more!

(THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON JULY 5, 2023, PRIOR TO THE STRIKE BY SAG-AFTRA.)

We were pleased to visit with the multi-talented Margot Rose who portrayed Eline (Picard's wife) in one of TNG's most popular episodes, The Inner Light. We talk all about this amazing and touching episode, get some great behind the scenes stories along the way, but we were fascinated to learn that Margot is a gifted songwriter and is working on her own stage production to honor the life of her daughter. You'll want to sit down with a warm cup of earl grey for this one! We fell in love with Margot and you will, too!

Legendary Sci-Fi Writer Harlan Ellison Jul 21, 2023

This week we discuss the work of science fiction legend, Harlan Ellison. Whether you're a fan or a critic, his work continues to stand the test of time. Star Trek fans love him for his contribution to the original series in City on the Edge of Forever. His career covered lots of ground, so much so, that we couldn't begin to fit it all in one episode. So we chose the material that speaks most powerfully to us.

We had some technical difficulty in the episode and Cris can only be heard at the beginning of the recording. He was having internet issues and could only be with us for a few short minutes. Nevertheless, we think you'll find this week's episode fascinating and engaging!

The Exceptionally Talented Bruce Horak Jul 07, 2023

Bruce Horak portrayed Hemmer in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and quickly became a fan favorite. Then, they killed him off the show! It was one of the most beautiful and tragic moments in Trek history (in our opinion). We had the chance to visit with this dynamic and multi-talented actor and artist.

You will love the stories from his experience with Trek as well has hearing about his other projects and interests in life. Bruce is quite the gentleman and we loved having him on the show. We're proud to call him a new friend of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!

He loves science fiction and Trek, in particular, and it shows! We also get the opportunity to celebrate the life of his late wife, Dorothy Duder.

The BIG Star Trek Movie Ranking, Part 1 Feb 03, 2023

Without a doubt, this is the BIGGEST topic we have ever tackled! Ranking our beloved Trek films is hard enough when we make our own individual lists. Put all four of us in a Zoom room and ask us to make one single list, an official list of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast, and you're asking for lots of back and forth debate, tons of banter, and even more laughter. Even an occassional gasp and sigh can be heard as our crew unravels and develops our one BIG Sci-Fi ranking of all the Trek films...not including Galaxy Quest! This episode is so big that we had to split it into two parts!

Deep Space Nine: 30th Anniversary Celebration Jan 27, 2023

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine went boldly where no Star Trek show had ever gone before. The show debuted in January of 1993 and forever changed the landscape of the Star Trek universe. It was darker and infused a spiritual eliment into the story telling on a regular basis. It was not wiley received originally, but then they made the Klingons bad guys again and brought in a fan favorite, Worf. The show took a dramatic turn in it's fourth season and is now enjoying a growing and enthusiastic fan base. Some are calling it the forgotten gem of Trek. A growing number of fans are even calling it the best Trek series of all time! What do you think? Listen to this compelling discussion between Adeen, Brian, Cris, and Steve to find out what our crew thinks about this controversial and groundbreaking series.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars Vs. The Martian Jan 20, 2023

We compare a classic science fiction film made when we knew little about the planet Mars versus The Martian, a modern science fiction film made with a much more realistic and knowledgeable understanding of the red giant. Both films have their own level of charm and allow for a bit of "willing suspension of disbelief." However, we tackle these films with an open mind and have fun comparing the realistic and "just for fun" content in these films. We hope you enjoy the banter and fun we have discussing the differences between these two sci-fi giants!

David Gerrold - Trouble with Tribbles and More! Dec 09, 2022

Welcome to season 3 of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast! In this season opener, we have the privilege of talking with David Gerrold who wrote one of the most famous and popular Trek episodes of all time, The Trouble With Tribbles (OST). David also worked on the first season of TNG, but is a prolific and talented science fiction author outside of the Trek universe. He won Hugo and Nebula awards for his book, The Martin Child, which was later adapted into a film. He has a unique story to tell about his time in Trek and you will be both intrigued and, perhaps, shocked at what he has to say about it all. The crew really enjoyed their time with David and we hope you will, too!

You can learn more about David on his website.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Armageddon (the movie) Nov 11, 2022

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 Fiction Nov 04, 2022

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 Episode Oct 28, 2022

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 Review Oct 21, 2022

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) Sep 30, 2022

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.

MST3K: Manos, The Hands of Fate - w/ Special Guest, Jackey Neyman Jones May 06, 2022

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.
