Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast

Morality - a particular system of values and principles of conduct. In the first ever 'Spocklight Supplemental', a new series of Bonus episodes to accompany the main pod, we explore that consistently progressive set of values that Star Trek Creator, Gene Roddenberry instilled in the franchise from the very beginning which, thankfully, continue to resonate to this day. Regular hosts, Liam and Paul (No Matt this time) are joined for this discussion by Special Guest Star, David Trumble, former Political Cartoonist for 'The Sun' Newspaper (a Job role that we can assure you does not reflect his political beliefs as will become apparent upon listening to this episode) and one of the many Stars of forthcoming Star Trek Fan Film, 'Ambush'. Please let us know if you enjoy it and if you'd like to hear more 'Supplemental' episodes in the future.

Beam in for our latest, positively delicious episode as the Spocklight crew take on God! Join us as Liam discovers a new bible in the form of William Shatner’s very own, 'Captain's Log’ and laments the loss of a murderous unicorn, Paul argues that the DVD menus have better VFX than the movie and cooks up an old McCoy family recipe - Tennessee smoked baked beans, Matt wishes for a band called 'God and the Rock Men' and finally has a 20-year old grudge exorcised through some Sybok inspired spiritual healing, while special Guest Star and Director of Trek Fan Film, ‘Ambush’, Greg Lock, wonders why Uhura ever agreed to her strip-tease distraction and reveals where the crew go to drop a deuce. Buckle your cinema mandated seatbelts and prepare to row row row your boat as we journey to ‘The Final Frontier’.   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on TWITTER - https://twitter.com/spocklightpod   SPOCKLIGHT on INSTAGRAM – https://www.instagram.com/spocklightpod/   SPOCKLIGHT on FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklight

In our newest episode, The Spocklight crew examine the very 80s ‘Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home’ as Liam reveals his desire for a courtroom based Trek movie and exposes Spock's very questionable tightey whities, Paul attempts to live order a movie-accurate pizza and wonders just how long Gillian has been in charge of the museum tour and Matt calls bullshit on the crew's time travel technique and realises the true villains are the Norwegian whalers.  We also welcome our first guest star, fellow Podcaster and Composer of our theme tune, Adam Johnston, who recalls his Grandparent’s VHS collection and marvels at the slap bass musical stylings of 1980s San Fran.  All that and much more.

Battle lines are drawn in our most divisive episode yet as the 'Spocklight' crew join the surprisingly short Search for Spock. Liam recalls his childhood 'Christopher Lloyd blindness' and reveals one of his favourite movie one-liners...Paul marvels at the easiest Starship heist in history and laments Chekov's terrible pink Pilgrim outfit...and Matt laughs at Kirk's sudden change of heart whilst calling the film the 'Quantum of Solace' of the franchise thus far. Hear our Crew's adventure continue in the 3rd episode of 'Spocklight'. All that they've loved, all that they've fought for, all that they've stood for, will now be put to the test but they all love a bit of explodey ol' Enterprise.   

Beam aboard the good ship Spocklight as our crew discuss the cinematic equivalent of Hornblower in Space, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In this episode - Liam debates the legitimacy of Ricardo Montalban's magnificent (and physics defying) chest, Paul praises the genre-heavy cinematic year of 1982 and admits to a certain boyhood crush on one of the crew members of the Enterprise, and Matt questions the necessary levels of realism behind the Kobayashi Maru test and compares Khan's followers to the Lost Boys.   All that and more as the boys get into the groove of their 13 film mission.
