Hero Worship

It's another workhorse episode with a lot heart and some good ideas that doesn't really get its due. 

Anyway, I know the novels probably do more with him, but Timothy Vico probably gets thrown on the pile of forgotten kids with Barash and Jeremy Aster. Is that better than the fates of Lal and Ian Troi? Is it better storytelling? I've been watching The Good Place lately and it's a show that keeps a lot of unimportant details and times unexplored. There's a lot of room for fanfiction in there is what I'm saying and maybe these kid-piles have a similar potential for letting the audiences write their own ends--or continuing adventures--for these kids.

The Beige and The Bold is hosted on Anchor and is available on most podcasting platforms. New episodes go live on Sunday nights at 10:00 PM  CST.

New Ground

We picked a heck of a week to make jokes about war crimes.

In that we allow our cast to be flawed, we have to make them into 20th Century people, which includes a set of 20th Century social assumptions. Could we have this series without flawed characters? Could our main cast just be a Greek chorus to frame the adventures of other, flawed people from other planets?

17 to 01: The Undiscovered Country

As a capstone for The Original Series and its crew--

RAND IS BACK! This is her biggest role post-TOS and it's good to see her again.

Also, a movie happens.

A Matter of Time (Video)

A Matter of Time

Wesley and I talk about redstone missiles, predestination paradoxes, and global warming a bit (It's real! We caused it! It's bad!). We get to see a Picard speech that doesn't get enough acclaim, either because the story almost immediately undercuts it or because it just doesn't work.

Between the hair and the coat and the pocket-sized spaceship that can travel in time, the Rick Sanchez parallels jumped out at me on this one and I can't put them to bed. So I put out into the universe: "Berlinghoff and Wesley," written by Dan Harmon and Wil Wheaton.

But seriously, how smart is "Rasmussen"? Is he faking it all or has he done some research?

Looking for Co-Creator

Me: I’m a regular podcaster in the cultural entertainment niche slurry pit. From the US. Over 30, white male in the LGBT community. Small social media following.

Looking for: Co-creator and host. Equal partner. US person in the same age range (mid-20’s to late 40’s). Critically interested in a big circle of topical news, entertainment, and politics. Generally critical and eager to ask questions. Able to assume the perspective of a character and speak on the above topics with that perspective.

Enough technical skills to work with documents and files online. Good microphone. Experience is preferable, but not necessarily required, as long as you’re willing to learn. LGBT-friendly. Conservatives are welcome, but MAGAts need not apply.

Project: A two-character, semimonthly, loosely-scripted discussion of current events. Features honest analysis and conflict, metanarrative elements, hixian ambiguity, and character work to demonstrate perspectives. Appx 20 minutes long and lightly edited.

Subjects include the best cuts pulled from the toxic crowded rivers of headline news, events in cultural/consumer nerdspace, and US politics.

Hook: This is a discussion of current events that avoids the pitfalls of the current landscape. Ie, NOT two nerds jerking each other off over whatever the nerdwank of the moment is, NOT a cerebral recitation of facts devoid of context or feeling, NOT self-indulgent cheerleading, and NOT culture war pugilism over the issue of the day. (If you happen to know of productions that avoid these pitfalls already, please share them below).

Tone: Something easily digestible, engenders positive engagement, and that is credible. Distributed via Anchor and available to both contributors for modification and distribution via other means (YouTube, Soundcloud, etc).

Demographic: Late-20’s to 30’s busy folks who don’t have time or trust for regular news sources.

Time Cost: Estimated production time is 90 minutes per episode. Approximately 30 minutes of recording, 10-15 minutes of management/admin, 30 minutes of scripting, and 20 minutes of research and reading above and beyond your existing media diet.

Long-Term: Recording can start as soon as on Friday evening. I will work with various co-creators until late February 2020, at which point, I’ll reevaluate the project and decide whether or not to continue it.

Please reply via comment or DM. I’m asking that you keep responses to 4-5 sentences. That’s an honest request; I’ll read whatever you send, but 4-5 sentences sets a fair, explicit expectation. Include some information about yourself (preferably w/a link to socials. Mine can be googled), past productions, and maybe one way to improve this posting. Also, while it would never be the topic of an episode, comics/movies are generally within the project’s remit, so please include a 1-2 sentence analysis of a Black Panther v Batman fight.
