What We've Watched Podcast

This week's episode of TNG brings us a surprise from Riker's early days in Star Fleet, a space mystery and Captain Picard Day!

Just in time for actual Black Friday (or Green Friday) we watch a zombie-ish film of the same name.

We really liked Enola Holmes when it came out in 2020 and so we are back with Enola Holmes 2 for this episode. How does it compare? Listen and find out.

On this episode we give our thoughts on twist endings in movies (and endings in general)and give a top 5 of our favorites.

We drop in on a forgotten 1990's film this week with Why Me? This weird and strange comedy stars Christopher Lambert, Christopher Lloyd and Kim Greist (as well as a host of familiar faces from the time).

This weeks episode of TNG has Worf sliding through parallel dimensions where anything could happen and many things do.

Spooky season comes to an end and to finish it off we watch the 1932 classic lost(but then recovered)star filled film, The Old Dark House.

This week we get another peak into Data's past as a maternal figure shows up out of the blue...but all is not what it seems! Oh also a planet's core is cooling to fast and they are all going to die.

This week we talk about Ken Russell's very loose adaptation of Bram Stoker's The Lair of the White Worm, an amusing horror film with a very young Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi and Amanda Donohoe.

A hairy double feature for this episode with WolfCop and it's sequel, Another WolfCop. We look this pair of old-school feeling, Canadian made (and located)gore filled horror comedies.

It's a classic TNG "lets address a real world problem poorly" episode, this time it's global warming. But also mostly about Data's cat Spot.

Halloween month continues this week with Top 5 Devils (Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, ect)in film. Which actors and what films really captured the heart of the prince of darkness for us? Listen in and find out.

From old to very very new, we kick off our traditional October themed film month with the 2022 Netflix release - Day Shift. Vampires and 90's feels fill up this one folks.

This week's episode attempts to address the "will they won't they" of Picard and Crusher but is it all just a little too late? Add in a North vs South Korea analogy you'd think it's maybe a mediocre episode - maybe you'd be surprised!

It's 2022 and people are still the same, they will do anything to get what they need...and what they need is SOYLENT GREEN! Which is people. Huh. Join us as we talk about this "future" that never came to pass with Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson (in his final role).

This week we we watched the final Lwaxana Troi TNG episode. It also features a very young Kirsten Dunst and a dark secret about Deanna Troi's childhood.

From a series of older films it's time to jump to something ultra recent, as we often do, with Stallone's newest film, a gritty super hero flick - Samaritan.

This week e return to the nearly forgotten plot element of Data dreaming, with him having nightmares, then waking nightmares, then a thinly added B plot that works it's way into Data's dreams. It's a lot, but also very little.

This week we watched Wild Target, a 2010 rom/crime/com film with a great cast of Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Grint. Wild Target tries really hard but might not quite be the sum of it's parts.

This week is the conclusion to the Gambit 2-part story, will it live up to the premise set up in part 1? Let's tune in and see.

So we thought what could be easier than a top 5 of films that show the afterlife? The place where we could go when we die, films must be full of them? *Narrator Voice* "But films would not be full of them". We did it anyways and it turned out as a pretty great episode.

What do we have this episode? Space mystery? Check! Full crew on deck? Check! Great story and writing? Check! For us The Gambit (part 1) does not disappoint,

It's been a while but we were inspired to do an episode of The Pilot Program when we saw a trailer for a 1986 unsold tv pilot (turned TV movie) staring Scott Bakula pre Quantum Leap. It's quite the thing.

This weeks episode of The Next Generation they jump on the zeitgeist of the early 90's to completely misunderstand VR and Geordie puts his life in danger for dubious reasons.

Our brief Blob journey comes to an end with the 1988 remake of The Blob, a proper horror movie with great practical effects that unfortunately got overlooked in it's day.
