Battlestage Theatrica

Happy Frakkin Fourth of July! No matter what your creed or color is, I think we can all agree that our country's Independence from tyranny is something we can all agree on. Now, what we've done with that freedom, such as slide blissfully back into tyranny, is the problem we must currently face. In Battlestar Galactica, our heroes are facing the trials and tribulations of putting a former p...

It's okay folks, nothing bad happened... there was no interdimensional wormhole nor did you fall into a 24 hour coma.... Its Thursday! Frakkin Friday will still feature a new episode. Today, however, for your listening pleasure, is a chet I had with a delightful fellow podcaster and Battlestar Galactica fan, Marcy from the Idle Ride Podcast. When you're done listening to this and you enjoy...

Thats right folks, its Frakkin Friday, and you know what that means! Its Battlestage Theatrica time! Did anyone who's seen the show not know about Edward James Olmos smashing the model ship he wasn't supposed to smash? Wild story, just like Viggo breaking his toe in Two Towers. Great things are coming in the next few weeks, despite my poor planning, we will have Marcy from the Idleride Pod...

Happy Frakkin Friday, folks...and Happy Juneteenth. I wish I had calculated this episode airing on this exact day, for I would have put in some forethought. While slavery in the United States was beyond brutal compared to working long hours in a fuel refinery ships; and ending of slavery is a far more substantial victory over getting a second shift established and a union organized, there is come...

Happy Frakkin Friday, folk! its been a few few frakkin fridays hasn't it? We all love our mother's, love planned vacations, and occasionally hate our day jobs which just tend to get in the way of fun things like this. Sorry to dissapear... but we're back!

Happy Frakkin Friday, folks. We're discussing The Woman King today. I've heard throughout the years that this isn't many people's favorite episode, nor is it mine... but it's Tahmoh's favorite, and any episode I get to work with my buddy, Chester, is a favorite episode. Enjoy If you're enjoying it as much as us, feel free to support the show over on Buy Me a Coffee dot...

Happy Frakkin Friday, fine folks... Chester was right, Taking a Break from All Your Worries was a "Cheers" reference, specifically to the theme song. Twenty years of watching and I never put that together! I invited our friend, listener, and trivia host, Dave Cooper, to join us for this episode, given his love of both BSG and Cheers. Sadly, he had to go home and spend time with his famil...

Happy Frakkin Friday folks, this Rapturous episode is filled with action, romance, love quadrangles, pop culture references, and Chief dancing around an altar with porn mags saying "FRAK YOU!' to the gods. As someone who's has snuck into a confessional booth for wild sex after a wedding, I can say the feeling is mutual. Now that mental image has sunk in, enjoy the episode.

Hapy Frakkin Friday folks, we're back. If you're one of the Noble Thirty listening week to week, sorry to flak last week. Life...uh...finds a way... to be overwhelming. In my case... driving two hours to my job sites, only to be down to 5% of my company Ev car, need to charge and hour just to get home, and immediately charge in order to leave by 5a the next day. Trying not to complain beca...

Happy Frakkin Friday, folks, this on really tested my editing skills. Frak me, did I have a lot of solicitors, visitors, and fraking ai scam calls while recording this one. I'd like to take the passage into the center of the star cluster where none of these fraks can find me. I'll suffer the radiation! Head on over to the poll section of the episode and cast a vote of when you think Cheste...

Happy Frakkin Friday, folks. No, there isn't an extended Firefly version of this episode, however, the extended version of the New Caprica dance is oddly similar to River's Dance in the Firefly episode, Safe. Honestly, after the recent news, I'm putting as much Firefly into the ether as possible. You should too! Leaving for work? leave Firefly streaming for your pets! Let our purple be...

Happy Frakkin Friday Folks! If you've been paying attention to social media lately, you'll know the cast of Firefly have been ...up...to something. Well, the announcement about the return of Firefly in animated form came after we recorded Hero (and Unfinished Business) so you'll just have to wait to hear our take on it. We've waited twenty five years... what's another fortnight...

Happy Frakkin Friday the 13th, folks! Thank you for your patience, there was a problem this morning with the upload... the problem being I forgot to upload. So instead of you Friday morning commute, here is your Friday evening commute. Or, perhaps, you've waited until Monday, the day everything goes to shite every week and this miserable Donner Party through the the stars brings you.... A meas...

Happy Frakkin Friday, Folks! Well, It's been a long time coming, especially for those of you who have seen the entire run of the show, but didn't want to spoil things for our dear Chester. The time has come to add a new game to our already loaded schedule (Who is Hamish McCall anyway?) in which, every week, we ask Chester his predictions of... WHO ARE THE FINAL FIVE!?! Its exciting times,...

Happy Frakkin Friday folks... Battlestage Theatrica is here to bring respite from the real world and the random whims of an unfit President to instead tell tales of... oh... another unfit President conducting shady affairs... Damn, so much for tv being escapism... well, best steer into the Art Imitates Life bit and get this party started So Say We All https://buymeacoffee.com/battlestagetheatrica

Happy Frakkin Friday, folks, and welcome to a special episode that takes you back to the days of Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Lorne Greene, and LLOYD BRIDGES! what? the funny guy from Airplane? what's he doing here? You'll have to tune in to find out. This episode is available to rent on amazon, but I'm sure it could be found on youtube. In fact i found a remastered bit of it from Rob...

A happy Frakkin Friday to you all! Well, with the flick of a mustache trimmer and the body slam of a Pegasus, the first arc of Season 3 is coming to a close, but certainly won't be forgotten (cough Unfinished Business cough). So hold on to all of Lee's ass as well as your own, and lets get New Caprica liberated! In other news, I have started a Battlestage Theatrica discord where folks can...

Happy Frakkin Friday, you fine folks! True, not our first fan interaction, that goes to u/Davendak and their list of Top 3 Battlestar Galactica podcasts. However, this week came with our fist rating and our first bluesky post, so we're just so damn gidddy about this Donner Party through the Stars. Anything that helps bring a little bright spot to all this blood and thunder cascading around us,...

Happy Frakkin Friday, Battlestage Theatrica Fans! I was considering not airing the episode today in solidarity with the ICE OUT protest, which means No work, No school, No shopping. Well, I don't consider this work and no one has to buy anything... one might learn something, but we can let that slide. Instead I invite you to send whatever support or donation set aside for keeping the light on...

How's that for a title... wish I'd thought of it while Chester and I were recording! FRAK!

Happy Frakkin Friday Folks! The shortly awaited sequel is upon you. The sooner you enjoy it, the sooner we can get to Season 3, where the most common phrase uttered on the show is likely to be "Frak ice" So Say We Frak ice

Happy Frakkin Friday folks, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Did you miss us? We missed you. Its been a long, tiring few months of side hustling Christmas Light installations all over Los Angeles (actually, as this airs I'll be busy taking them all down!) just to keep the lights on in this hellscape. So, to ease you back into it, we decided to revisit the Battlestar Galactica: Miniseries in a sort of ret...

I know the Ultimate Pen isnt a thing, just frakkin laugh. Thank you for joining us on this journey for the past two seasons! Its a milestone... wish I could say the same thing about Firefly. Gorrammit, now I've upset myself. Anyway, we'll be taking a brief hiatus in between seasons... gotta give Frak This Podcast a chance to catch up :)

Happy Frakkin Finale Friday Folks... Nuff said!

Happy Frakkin Friday, Cousin Sagi, its an absolute pleasure to have you listening all the way from Israel. I don't even think my own family listens and they're mostly in the same state. Meh... what does distance really matter on the internet. This week, we deviate heavily from the Colonial fleet and check in with the Cylons on Occupied Capria. I feel a change in the winds, says I. Looking...
