I hadn’t seen Kingdom of Heaven since the cinema in 2005 so it was fascinating to go back and check out the much praised Director’s Cut all these years later but did it change my original middling opinion on the movie, listen now to find out!

Happy #StarTrekDay to everyone in Sector 001!

"We love it all. from TOS to TNG straight through to Enterprise and the Kelvin Timeline, and now Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, Short Treks, Lower Decks and Prodigy! It’s all fair game here on the TrekRanks Podcast."

It’s #StarTrekDay for the 59th Anniversary of Star Trek which means it’s the 9th anniversary of our own little Podcast.

Over nine years and 141 episodes (so far!) we’ve been discussing the Trek universe from a non-Trekkie perspective+plan to go boldly for many more years 🖖

Rene Auberjonois as the traitorous Colonel West, seen only in the director's cut of STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.

The ST6 Director's Cut is ONLY on the new 4K disc out today, and is not on the included remastered Blu-ray disc.

It's true what they say. The more 70s tv and film you watch, the more you chuckle and note, "well, if it isn't René Auberjonois"

As someone who’s sometimes been a bit of an Altman doubter I had a great time with Images, thanks to @seano22 for picking it, a really great discussion.
We’re Back to discuss Robert Altman’s rare foray into Horror, Images, starring Susannah York and Star Trek alumni, Robert Auberjonois, and we’re joined by Sean Wilson from The Frame to Frame podcast to dissect it.

It is rare for the most explosive thing in an action movie to be the acting but that is exactly the case here. Listen to myself and the great Liam H Dempsey breakdown the Heavyweight Hackman (RIP)/Washington act-off as well as everything else about Crimson Tide!
