Supplemental 4: Interview with Robert Sallin

Thursday Sep 21, 2017

In a special episode to celebrate the 35th Anniversary re-release of 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' we're joined by the film's Producer, Robert Sallin, for an exclusive interview.

Robert tells Liam, Paul and Matt how he went from directing over 2,000 commercials to producing what many consider to be the greatest Star Trek film ever made, talking them through his creative input into the iconic red uniforms, the monstrous Ceti Eels, Kirk's grand entrance and much, much more.

We also delve into the rest of Robert's glittering Hollywood career, including directing Albert Finney in 'The Picasso Summer', winning the Grand Prix at the 1970 Venice film Festival for his classic Camay commerical, stepping in as the 2nd Unit Director on 'Assassins' for Richard Donner and more showbiz anecdotes than you can shake a Klingon at - Ridley Scott, Eddie Murphy, John Candy, they're all here. So strap in and get ready for your Kobayashi Maru, this is the big one.

Episode 13: Beyond (w/ Thomas Saville)

Friday Sep 15, 2017

Rev those engines and cue up your classical music cause we're tellin’ y'all, it's Star Trek Beyond!

Liam bemoans the trend of pathetic lip service to gay characters in Hollywood Blockbuster cinema and wishes Kirk had kicked off the Beasties assault with a 'KICK IT!' Paul notices the sexual bias towards green women on the Enterprise and Matt chuckles at McCoy’s attempts at product placement and thinks Pine gives fantastic ‘getting battered’ face.

We’re also joined by Treehouse Digital’s Thomas Saville, the linchpin of Star Trek fan film, Ambush (Written and Directed by previous Guest, Greg Lock) as we journey to infini…we mean BEYOND!

Supplemental 3: The Music of Trek Part 1 (w/ Adam Langston)

Wednesday Jul 26, 2017

In the latest of our occasional bonus episodes, we’re joined by film Composer, Orchestrator and Arranger, Adam Langston, as he guides us through the Star Trek movie scores and discusses how Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner have influenced his own work on Hollywood fare such as The Promise, Alien: Covenant and 10,000 BC.

We also chat Trump’s unsanctioned use of the ‘Air Force One’ theme, how to pronounce Michael Giacchino’s name, Leonard Rosenman’s (possibly) high opinion of himself and of course, the work of Cliff Eidelman and Dennis McCarthy as well.

And this is only Part 1 of our journey into the music of Trek, Adam will return next year to talk the scores of the various television series. Make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss it.

The Spocklight Bridge is a sausage fest no more! Liam, Paul and Matt are joined by our first female guest, Feminist Instagram Film Critic, Woman Watches Film, as the crew go back to the start for Star Trek 2009, but while Paul may congratulate Kirk for using the most blatant cheat in academic history to beat the Kobayashi Maru test, can JJ Abrahams’ reboot pass the Furiosa, Bechdel or Mako Mori tests?!

Episode 10: Nemesis (w/ Greg Lock)

Wednesday Jun 07, 2017

The Spocklight Crew meet their nemesis in ‘Star Trek: Nemesis’! It's a rough job but someone's gotta’ do it, so raise a glass of Romulan ale (you’re gonna’ need it) as we tackle a tale of two Picards and explore the phenomenon that is Hardy before Hardy.

Liam marks Captain Picard out as a ‘Jealous Lover’ over his Best man speech at Riker and Troi’s Wedding, Paul takes Director, Stuart ‘Asshat’ Baird, to task and Matt recalls watching a particularly not safe for work Tom Hardy short film.

We’re also joined this month by returning Guest Star and Director of forthcoming Trek Fan Film, ‘Ambush’, Greg Lock. Will he go against the grain once again and valiantly defend Nemesis as much as he did ‘Star Trek V: The Final Frontier’ or will he 'FIRE' it into the lime green vastness of space?

Episode 9: Insurrection (w/ Ross Okoye)

Wednesday May 10, 2017

Freshly shaved and smoother than an android's bottom, It's Star Trek: Insurrection!

Liam believes the Prime Directive could do with some more effective advertising, Paul laments the tragic loss of Riker's beard, while Matt tries desperately to explain Data's romp in the hay with a small child.

The regular Spocklight crew are joined this month by guest star, Ross Okoye, of hot new clothing company, Ages Apparel (recently featured in GQ magazine) who are sadly yet to produce a ‘Star Trek’ tee.

Episode 8: First Contact (w/ Stephen Trumble)

Wednesday Apr 12, 2017

With a four-alarm hangover, Team Spocklight go rogue and say 'to hell with our orders!' It's ‘Star Trek: First Contact’.

Liam praises the film's nightmarish body horror influences whilst wishing Worf had more conviction behind his killer one liner, Paul pitches William Shatner's own Borg-centric, Kirk-resurrecting novel and muses on a spine snapping twist on an iconic ‘Hamlet’ moment, Matt is all for the 'Die Hard in a Spaceship' setup as well as its ‘Demolition Man’ inspired technique to avoiding certain death and returning guest star, Stand up Comedian and official Spocklight Artist, Stephen Trumble, highlights Picard's double standard with sparing Borg life and admires TV Guide's Sexiest Man Alive '92
