Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Added 2021-02-21 12:00:02 +0000 UTCNo its not highly illogical! BC:SF has launched a new commentary series on the OG Star Trek films. In our first installment, Griffin, David, and Ben were beamed up (by Scotty) and watched 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Topics include: Leonard Nimoy's face, the franchise's history, Shatner tweets, Star Shrek and more.
The movie starts at...30:22

2025-06-20 09:43:51 +0000 UTCMy favorite thing about βThe God Thingβ is that Roddenberry wrote a scene where Kirk has a fistfight with Jesus Christ himself. I really wish theyβd done that, imagine how badly that wouldβve gone down with the religious crowd lol

2021-02-25 14:49:48 +0000 UTCI'm so thankful to be getting these Patreon commentaries, but I must admit it stresses me out to have blind viewings like Griff is doing with "Star Trek". It's just the worst possible way to watch a movie for the first time and you miss so much. But I will stop my grumbling there as they're still delightful.

2021-02-23 15:56:21 +0000 UTCThere's a book that takes place after Star trek 7 Generations where the Borg reanimate Kirk's body to kill Picard. In the book it says VGer was the product of the Borg Just looked it up, it's called The Return and was written by Shatner

2021-02-22 13:25:53 +0000 UTCThe version on Amazon doesn't have the music before the opening credits, if you start it around 32:09 in the podcast it should sync up (when David mentions the Paramount logo).
Benjamin Owen
2021-02-21 21:31:24 +0000 UTCI imagine you must've felt silly when you waited 30 minutes to start the movie, and then realized you could've had that conversation during the Enterprise docking sequence.

2021-02-21 21:17:14 +0000 UTCAnyone know where we can watch this version? Watching on Amazon and it doesn't sync up.

2021-02-21 20:46:56 +0000 UTCIf anyone is interested, I can confirm that the original theatrical cut is available on blu-ray as part of the movie collection box set and the 50th anniversary series set (which is dope as hell!) https://twitter.com/sirniklong/status/1363529737851781121?s=20
