Captain Michael Burnham’s show. Captain Carol Freeman’s show. I guess now we have some black and white evidence out of Paramount. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The rebellion didn’t stop. It just took a few years off. youtu.be/AE4wxt70aUM?...

OH! I wasn’t expecting HIM in #TheWhiteLotus. #LBH

With #CaptainAmerica in theaters, how did you like #BraveNewWorld? Strap on your goggles and reply below—or make a special cameo by emailing PhantasticGeek at gmail! Our review arrives on #Marvel Movie Monday, so let your voice be heard!

That Dunkin commercial makes me want to get Starbucks tomorrow.

Paramount wants out of Mission: Impossible so badly that Tom Cruise’s Super Bowl intro (on Fox) is a low key M:I ad.

Jurassic World Ocho: Now They’re REALLY Dino-Angry looks skippable.

Heckuva time for Paramount to be closing in on (but not yet completed) the sale. deadline.com/2025/02/trum...

Thank goodness there’s no speculative fiction that starts with a phony trade war and leads to terrible things. Can’t quite remember who was the real baddie in Episode I….

TrekMovie’s coverage of #Section31 at #NYCC noted the film was locked at just under two hours. We got a 90 minute movie. I wonder what was cut—after picture lock. I wonder if it would have made it better. I wonder if it made it worse. trekmovie.com/2024/11/05/i...

Our #SkeletonCrew lands one more time for the season as we look back at the eight episode arc. Where did the show fly high? What could have been done better? And where could things go for a second season? Let us know before our #StarWars Sunday podcast! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

This Monday, we’re redressing the sets 😉 of our #StarTrek podcasts to talk about the latest TV streaming story: #Section31! 💪 What hit you the most from the tale? 🚀 And will P+ make more? ✌️ Like Garrett says: you just have to make a call. ☎️ Reply and share your thoughts!

I suppose our individual viewing experiences of #Section31 can only be made worse by the reviews… though kudos to the headline writer for the Times. Look for next week’s Paramount spin to be “brilliant move to limit this story to a movie that was vastly less expensive than a season of television!”

Deadpool and Wolverine concludes its Oscar hopes with… zero nominations.

It’s… curious that Severance has a character named Alexa, so when I watch this Apple TV+ show with my Echo speakers and someone says her name, my Amazon devices quasi-malfunction.

Though it’s the end of the road for now for the #SkeletonCrew, our podcast returns to talk the finale episode! How big a pile of gold would you give episode 8? Reply ahead of our #StarWars Sunday podcast, and you’ll be a Real Good Guy… or Gal! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Egads: this week’s #SkeletonCrew brought some answers and more questions… the biggest being this: how would you rate the episode? Get a signal through before our #StarWars Sunday podcast lands…. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Netflix is spending $500,000,000 a year to have #WWERAW. That’s the equivalent of 2-3 movies with the Rock (and lately, Rock movies bomb), except it’s 100+ hours of programming.

1139? #SkeletonCrew

EVERY single Columbia Pictures film I’ve seen since “Go” in 1999 has made me think of what “Go” does during the Columbia card. I saw it in theaters and momentarily thought the projector was broken. “Go” permanently rewired my brain over 25 years ago. youtu.be/I5Co0wMn518?...

#TheDayOfTheJackal is absolutely stellar. It’s one of those shows where you start and say “I’m familiar with spy/cop/espionage/thriller/cat-mouse stuff already.” True, but #Jackal is tautly pulling all the pieces together to perfection.

Hey, the best #TimesSquare show is the official Times Square feed, where they talk to some people, show the crowds, don’t cut to commercial, and the time outs are a four shot of the place. Oh, songs too. www.youtube.com/live/swPIHaQ...

If you start "Fissure Quest" at exactly 11:32:58 pm tonight, Boimler will scream "Holy (bleep)! We're all going to die!" just as 2025 begins. No worries If you're late! You can start "The New Next Generation" at 11:54:25 & he'll do the same thing! The perfect way to start 2025. #StarTrekLowerDecks

Anderson Cooper nailing(?) the transition from wishing the best to all feeling alone tonight due to mourning lost loved ones… to… introducing Shania Twain singing “Man, I Feel Like a Woman.”

Skeleton Crew?

The #GloveTheory will help YOU decode Jod well before the upcoming episodes of #StarWars: #SkeletonCrew! 🧤 🏴‍☠️

Why doesn’t Lego have a Star Trek license?!

#LowerDecks: a #StarTrek Podcast by @phantasticgeek.bsky.social looks back at five seasons of #StarTrekLowerDecks: www.phantasticgeek.com/2024/12/star....

Our #StarTrek #LowerDecks podcast takes a fond look back at five seasons of heartfelt characters and hilarious situations--but we open our podcast with nothing but praise for series creator and showrunner @mikemcmahan.bsky.social!

Happy birthday to this television pioneer, born 92 years ago today 🖖

This #StarTrek Saturday we bid adieu to #LowerDecks, a high water mark for entertainment, great storytelling, and characters who made an impact. What made Lower Decks special to you? Or what might you have tweaked? What do you hope for the future of the story? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Well, I didn’t have “sobbing from #DoctorWho: #JoyToTheWorld” on my Christmas bingo card, but here we are.

What if all the New Jersey drones simply form up tomorrow and spell out: BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE

Wow, I can’t believe 😉 @jamesgunn.bsky.social “politicized” the source material about Krypton’s leadership ignoring a climate change scientist, leading to an immigrant refugee child raised by quintessentially American parents, resulting in a college-educated journalist with a moral center.

#LowerDecks: a #StarTrek Podcast by @phantasticgeek.bsky.social for the #StarTrekLowerDecks series finale, episode 510, “The New Next Generation,” is now available: www.phantasticgeek.com/2024/12/star....

Olaf’s Frozen Adventure is legitimately wonderful as a Christmas special, and the second best entry in the series, after the original #Frozen.
