    Star Trek What If…? – Earth Station Trek – Episode 203
    Star Trek What If

    Time. Space. Reality. It’s more than a linear path. It’s a prism of endless possibility. Where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. We are the hosts of Earth Station Trek. We will be your guide into the alternate realities of the Trekverse. Follow us and ponder the question . . . “What if?” This week we explore events that could have happened differently in Star Trek, both behind the scenes and on screen, and see how those changes might have altered the way Star Trek progressed over the years.

    The Movie Closet: Dogma
    The Movie Closet

    The Movie Closet: Dogma

    This time on the Have Coffee Will Travel Podcast, we begin our movie closet series. When we moved into this house, there were no convenient spots to store our DVD collection. However, there was a spare closet. We tossed all of our films into the closet and our storage problem had a solution. Now, Shawn and Leah are diving into the movies looking for those films that the other might not have seen. After viewing the film, they review it, find the theme and that becomes the topic for the podcast. This time, we are discussing the 1999 film Dogma, directed by Kevin Smith.

    Synopsis:

    Two mischievous angels (played by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) who were kicked out of heaven, have figured out a way to get back in. Restoring ones soul by entering a new church is a part of the Catholic Dogma, and by restoring their souls, the angels could re-enter heaven thus revealing a loophole. However, their plan would prove God’s imperfection thus erasing everything God had ever created. Jesus’ last descendant Bethany (played by Linda Fiorentino) is enlisted by Rufus the unknown 13th Apostle to stop the fugitive angels. Along the way, she is aided by two prophets, Jay and Silent Bob.

    The entire point of the movie is faith. Bethany is suffering from a crisis of faith. More than one crisis if we are honest. The film tracks her evolution of faith and belief. This is the jumping off point for our new series– The movie closet: Dogma! Shawn and Leah share the basis of their own belief systems. They share stories from their childhoods, and discuss how those experiences shaped them as people. Do you have faith? Do you need it? Send your thoughts to [email protected].

    Flopcast 667: Piano People FlopFight – Go-Go vs. Yo-Yo
    Flopcast 667 Stevie Wonder

    Recently we braved the lawless wilderness of New Hampshire to see a show called “Piano Men and Women,” celebrating the music of Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, and more. (We were there because our old pal Mike is the guitarist in this show. Mike has come a LONG way since Sponge Awareness…) So now we’re throwing all those classic pop stars into a silly FlopFight tournament of randomly selected competitions. Join us as we debate the merits of, say, Freddie Mercury and Barry Manilow in a snow-shoveling contest. Why, there’s even a surprise wild card player who has no business in this FlopFight, but just might win the whole thing. Kids, prepare for some thrilling and ridiculous tournament action. The stakes could not be lower.
