star_trek_into_darkness_ver4

We did it! 11 films, 11 bonus episodes, 11 games of Star Trek trivia … our Star Trek film retrospective is complete. But we’re not done with the Trek just yet: in this episode, we wrap-up our trek into madness, Alli and Kati try to stump Matthew with some trivia for a change, and then a review and in-depth discussion of the hotly contentious Star Trek Into Darkness, from Star Trek and Super 8 director J.J. Abrams. We’ve got analysis, nerd rage, tribbles … all of it. Tune in!

star_trek_xi

In celebration of Star Trek Into Darkness hitting theatres May 15th, the Wrong Opinions About Movies gang, assisted by an all-star rotating cast of guest hosts, has set out to boldly go where no podcast has gone before, and are reviewing and discussing each and every Star Trek film, from 1979′s The Motion Picture to 2009′s J.J. Abrams reboot. Matthew is the Trek aficionado, and Alli and Kati are relative newbies. Together, they’re going to examine not only how each film works within the context of its fellow Trek movies, but as serious (or not-so-serious) films in their own rights.

STAR TREK (2009)

Perhaps the most divisive film in the Trek canon is, predictably, the one which sought to wipe that canon clean … sort of. Can you still be a “real” Star Trek fan and enjoy the reboot? Is there something in the reboot for non-Trek fans to latch onto? And just what did happen to Nero’s ear? Joining us to answer those questions and more are the hosts of the Star Wars podcast Tosche Station Radio, Brian and Nanci. Don’t miss this, the final part of our Star Trek retrospective, and be back in just a couple days for our review of Star Trek Into Darkness! ENGAGE!

STAR TREK: NEMESIS

A generation’s final journey begins … finally? Too late? Or is the exhaustion of the TNG franchise by this point — this point being 2002′s Nemesis — greatly exaggerated? Joining the usual gang to discuss that question and more are recurring guests Sean Hutchinson (a Star Trek noob) and Zoë Eckman (a Trek fan from the womb). What’s with Tom Hardy’s shiny jacket? Why are there dune buggies in space? And can we state the film’s themes even more baldly this time? Hit play and find out!

STAR TREK: INSURRECTION

It was general consensus that, by the time Insurrection rolled around in 1998, the Star Trek franchise — specifically, the TNG-era film franchise — was starting to lose steam. But is that actually the case? On this episode, the gang, with the help of filmmaker and Star Trek fan Elissa Cohn, look back to Insurrection with fresh eyes, to see if maybe there was a little more juice in this franchise than the critics of the day were giving it credit for … or if the critics had it right all along and this was just awful. Listen and find out for yourself!

STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT

Is resistance to Star Trek futile by this point? Has the series assimilated Kati and Alli? Will this post have any more Borg puns? Part eight of our Star Trek retrospective brings on frequent guest host Zoë Eckman for a look at the most popular TNG-era film, First Contact. Is it as good as all that? Do the Borg live up to their terrifying reputation? Or is this on par with a mediocre episode of the series? Listen in and see how this film holds up!

STAR TREK: GENERATIONS

Has Star Trek nerd Matthew met his nerdy match? Quite possibly, in the guise of Latino Review and Operation Kino’s Da7e Gonzales, who joins the gang for a discussion of the first TNG-era Star Trek film, Generations. Not beloved by fans, is this a better film than most think? Or is it merely an extremely shaky plot wrapped around two major events? Opinions, unsurprisingly, differ, and we get into that, as well as some extra-nerdy questions about cinematography, uniform choices, and more. Hit play!

STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY

CinemaBlend writer Kristy Puchko returns for a second helping of Trek with this, the final voyage of the original series crew. Does the film work both as an appropriate send-off and as a film in it’s own right? Do the mystery elements of the plot hold a torch to something like Veronica Mars? Does the Cold War analogue help or hinder the film’s impact? These questions and more are discussed, and there’s another round of trivia, to boot, so hit play!

GOT-S3-Dragon-Poster

Season three of Game of Thrones, the HBO fantasy series based on the Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R.R. Martin, has reached its halfway point, and so as they did last year, the Wrong Opinions crew is checking in with a look at what is shaping up to be a 70-hour long feature film. Joining Matthew for a look at five of those projected seventy hours is Game of Thrones expert Joanna Robinson, of Pajiba.com and the Cast of Kings podcast. Together, they examine what changes from the books work and which ones don’t, which characters they love and which ones they hate, discuss just how much flaying is too much flaying, and confess their secret #1 Game of Thrones crushes. We go a little longer than usual, but trust us, it’s worth it. Give it a listen!

STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER

Today’s Trek retrospective attempts to answer the age-old question; no, not what does God need with a starship, but is Star Trek V — the only Star Trek film to be directed by Mr. William Shatner himself — really and truly as terrible and irredeemable as everyone says? To help with that question, the gang recruited Filmspotting SVU host and CriticWire editor Matt Singer to join the discussion and help figure out exactly what this movie is, and what makes it such a contentious entry in the Trek franchise. Don’t miss it!
