Row, row, row your starship. Jay and Nate review Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.  Inspired by a late-night viewing of televangelists and wanting to boldly go in a different direction, William Shatner’s concept for the fifth Star Trek movie was ambitious - too ambitious for the studio and faced budget cuts, outsourced effects, and a general sense of apathy from those involved. However, the cast al...

Catch us now and later! Jay and Lindsey review Blue Thunder (1983).  1980s cinema became a fertile ground for the Cold War techno-thilller and Director John Badham had two in 1983 with WarGames and Blue Thunder. Star Roy Scheider and Badham both felt strongly that the dangers of the constant surveillance state as well as military-grade armament of the police were not to be taken lightly. Does this...

Part of the ongoing Star Trek Retrospective Series.  After the successes of parts 2 and 3, another entry was inevitable.

We’ve been calling our shot for 14 years. Step up to the plate as Lindsey, Ron, and Brian review Major League (1989).  In 1989, Director David S. Ward blended the tried and true sports drama with a good dose of comedy to sell and underdog story about a group of lovable losers chasing baseball glory in the warm fires of the Cuyahoga River. Can Tom Berenger pull off being a sex symbol? Can Charlie S...
