What We've Watched Podcast

This episode sees a launch into a 2 parter with both Worf and Data stories, along with Deep Space 9 characters, as TNG does a small crossover to promote the new show.

In this episode we wax long about some of our favorite shows that got cancelled just as they were getting good.

A hidden Q episode sees Picard reliving his academy days, playing dom-jot and getting stabbed in the heart.

We end our Technicolor Travels in 1952 with a second pirate film, staring Burt Lancaster and Nick Cravat. A fun tongue in cheek adventure film that could have stuck the landing a bit better.

In a hard pivot from the last episode we join Deanna Troi and Romulans in a fantastic episode that really shows how TNG can shine.

We jump another 10 years to see how things have progressed in our Technicolor Travels to 1942, but this time with pirates! Join us for The Black Swan.

This week we have a good laugh at the unfortunately attempt of a murder mystery in one of the worst episodes this season. Poor Geordi.

Our Technicolor Travels continue a we move ahead to 1932 and discuss the classic Doctor X. Both creepy and goofy it is a great capsule showing early entry into a new type of horror film and what they could get away with in the pre-code years.

Professor Moriarty returns for some holodeck shenanigans in a game of wits with control the Enterprise on the line.

In this first episode in a short series looking into the rise of Technicolor films, we go back 100 years to 1922 and watch the one of the very earliest films to use Technicolor, The Toll of the Sea.

Part two of the tense and exciting story comes to this episode with more Cardassian, more Picard torture, more Cox, more Warner! There are FOUR lights!

We embark on the first of a ground breaking two part story this week! Big shakups to the standard TNG story, Ronny Cox? David Warner? Yes please! Just how many lights are there?

After a year of Rocky films you think we had enough of Mr. Stallone? No way! This episode we go over our top picks of his best films.

Oh is it time for another "is AI sentient and what does that mean?" episode of TNG? I guess so. We talk about it.

We follow up last years Army of the Dead (episode #271) with the prequel - Army of Thieves. Showing the origins of Dieter and how story behind the Gotterdammerung safe, we give our thoughts on this second film in the series.

In the midst of James Bond film rights tomfoolery there was an attempt at adapting Casino Royal but instead this movie got made. A bizarre artifact of it's time, full of over the top antics and a muddy mix of acting, writing and direction. Is Casino Royale really too much...for one James Bond?

Let's hop on over to the Holo-Deck and take a stroll into the Ancient West in this weeks episode of TNG - A Fistful of Datas.

To close out 2021 we recorded our top 10 films of the 2010's (2010-2019). This both a revisit of our very first top 5 (Top 5 of the Last 5 Years) and fits in with our other decade Top 5s. This is a long one folks so buckle up. Thanks to all who have listened over the last year and hope you have a good 2022!

As the year comes to a close so does our Rocky Journey and with that comes Creed II. We talk a lot about the film and how it both builds on the Creed story and echoes the old Rocky films of the past.

Picard and some other members of the Enterprise become kids this episode. Oh and there is some Ferengi too. It's as good as it sounds.

Making a black and white film these days is an artistic choice rather than an necessity - and this episode we talk about our 5 favorite films that chose this visual format in the modern era.

What if you had the powers of Q, but didn't know what a Q was? So you thought you were loosing your mind...but then Q show up. This week's episode is a neat thought experiment about ultimate power and human behavior.

In what could be called the next generation of Rocky films we continue our journey hitting the penultimate entry, Creed!

Time and memory loss, alien abductions and a very liberal use of the holodeck is the flavor of this weeks episode.

1984's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, a cult classic, box office bust and all around fun film is the feature of this weeks episode.
