"Captain! There be whales here!" Those five little words perfectly sum up the whole of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Listen in as Dan, Dave, and Mike have a blast talking through what is the strangest but also the funniest entry in the Star Trek movie catalog.
Note: Because this movie has no recognizable villain, which I always use as the inset image of the banner art, alternates were made featuring the closest things to villains in Star Trek IV 2019-09-29 23:50:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Good day, all!
If all goes to plan, we will be recording episode 50 (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) this Saturday (28 September). Depending on the length of the show, my aim is to have it out to Patrons the very next day. If not then, then by Monday.
Thank you for your patience between episodes, as well as for your continued support of The Edge of Forever.

We all know that the odd-numbered Star Trek film are trash, right? Not so much, actually. While Star Trek III: The Search for Spock might not be the most exciting Trek film ever made, it does introduce Christopher Lloyd as the ruthless Klingon Commander Kruge, lays groundwork for future films, and sees the destruction of the beloved Enterprise. It also begs some hard-to-discuss questions pertaining to the resurrection of Spock, and demonstrates some shameful passwor...
2019-06-29 18:21:25 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, all!
Episode 49 -- Star Trek III: The Search for Spock -- was recorded today! Hurray! It was a blast! The raw recording is 2:50:00. Once the music and clips are dropped in, I would expect it to hit just under three hours.
If all goes as planned, Patrons of The Edge of Forever will receive the episode next weekend. Preferably Saturday, but possibly Sunday. With it hitting iTunes shortly thereafter.
As always, thank you for your support!

The Edge of Forever enters a new era as Dave Probert joins Dan and Mike for a discussion of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Does this movie deserve its reputation as "The Motionless Picture" / "The Slow Motion Picture," or is it a technical masterpiece in disguise? Can it be both? Please "sit down" with the three guys as they discuss this very topic and so much more! Also: Stick around through the closing theme for a tease of what's to come between Star Trek: The Motion Picture 2019-01-27 16:26:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Doctor McCoy is accused of committing genocide ("Albatross"), a godlike alien being wants credit for assisting humanity's growth ("How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth?"), and everyone begins to de-age upon entering a backwards-flowing universe ("The Counter-Clock Incident").
