TFM (Trek.fm & The 602 Club)

Masters of the Universe (1987).

Under the leadership of Golan and Globus the Cannon Group pumped out an incredible amount of films, most of them have failed to stay in the cultural zeitgeist yet for better of for worse, some remain cult classics.

In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Ry Paulsen talk about the 1987, Masters of the Universe. We discus the franchise, coming into live action, He-Man, other characters, the villains, a moment, to the journey, music, action, production and our ratings.

“Hatchery” 20th-anniversary reflections
As the Enterprise pushes toward Azati Prime, Archer leads an away team to a derelict Xindi-Insectoid vessel and discovers hundreds of gestating eggs, with life support failing. While examining the hatchery, a tendril suddenly sprays him with goo. Phlox initially dismisses it as a mild neurotoxin, but Archer grows increasingly obsessive about saving the hatchlings. Clearly, the situation is stickier than the doctor thought. As his behavior shifts from principled to unhinged, the crew stage a quiet mutiny to keep their mission on track.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Hatchery” as we discuss the big question the story asks, the crew's reaction to Archer's space madness, how it all fits into the overall Xindi arc, and more.

“Doctor's Orders” 20th-anniversary reflections
As the Enterprise makes its way to Azati Prime, it must pass through a region of space where a massive trans-dimensional disturbance will likely cause fatal brain damage to any conscious human. Doctor Phlox proposes to place the entire human crew in neuro-sedation for the four days it will take to cross the area at full impulse and volunteers to watch over his comatose crewmates with only Porthos—and what appears to be T'Pol—for company. As the anomaly begins to expand faster than expected and Phlox's grip on reality starts to slip, he must navigate an empty ship and overcome hallucinations before the crew suffers permanent neurological damage.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Doctor's Orders” as we discuss how the story mirrors Voyager's "One," helps fill the required 24 episode slots, and shows us more of Phlox than we ever wanted to see.

“Learning Curve” 30th-anniversary reflections
When four Maquis crew members refuse to adapt to Starfleet protocols, Tuvok is handed the unenviable task of whipping them into shape. But while he struggles to understand why his time-honored methods and Vulcan charm aren't working, a more immediate threat is taking hold in Neelix's kitchen: cheese. In his efforts to delight Ensign Ashmore with a taste from home, the self-proclaimed chef has been cultivating bacteria just below a vent that feeds into the ship's bio-neural circuitry. Now the gel packs have a cold and systems are failing one by one. It's time to get the cheese to sickbay!
In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Learning Curve,” Tuvok's impossible mission, the cheesy concept, how it ends the first season, and more.
