‘Imagine’ – Scott Bakula – Track of the Day

This week sees the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek. To honour this special occasion I shall be highlighting some of my favourite musical moments associated with this fascinating franchise. There’s an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) sings this song to his ill fated baby sister. Being an extremely talented musician and […]

‘That’s Me Trying’ – William Shatner ft. Ben Folds – Track of the Day

This week sees the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek. To honour this special occasion I shall be highlighting some of my favourite musical moments associated with this fascinating franchise. Fear of Pop an experimental group by Ben Folds featured William Shatner as a special guest on one track for their self titled debut album. Folds continued […]

‘Know What I Mean’ – Nichelle Nichols – Track of the Day

This week sees the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek. To honour this special occasion I shall be highlighting some of my favourite musical moments associated with this fascinating franchise. Unlike William Shatner and to a lesser extent Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols did not create much of an impact in the world of pop music. Ironic […]

‘It’s A Sin To Tell A Lie’ – Brent Spiner – Track of the Day

This week sees the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek. To honour this special occasion I shall be highlighting some of my favourite musical moments associated with this fascinating franchise. Star Trek: The Next Generation brought a whole new cast of characters boldly going where no one has gone before. We all have our favourites but […]

Caligula (1979) – Screen Savers

Back in the day if a film got banned from theatrical or home release it really had little else worth talking about. Are there exceptions? Yes. But more often than not these landmarks of censorship are just not very good. Going on moral crusades only gives them more attention than they deserve. Caligula was one […]

New Drama On Cinemax Inspired By Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee, legendary martial artist and movie star, had a few projects in development before his untimely death. One of these was Warrior; a story about a Chinese immigrant in America during the Tong Wars, a 19th century conflict in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Now the series will finally begin production for Cinemax, the network who […]

You Should… Listen to Gang Starr

In anticipation for Marvel’s new Netflix series Luke Cage, the episode titles were released online. Each one shares the name of a song by Gang Starr, one of the finest groups from hip-hop’s most creative era. The reaction to this was met with praise as it showed Marvel was acknowledging it’s influence on inner city […]

Lookin’ for Another Pure Love – Stevie Wonder feat. Jeff Beck – Track Of The Day

There are many musicians capable of releasing more than one masterpiece. In the 1970’s, Motown legend Stevie Wonder released six. Consecutively. My favourite of these albums is Talking Book. and my favourite track on that album is ‘Lookin’ for Another Pure Love’, a beautiful ballad about the healing process after a relationship. Stevie Wonder’s incredible […]

Nerd Icon – Julian Glover

In 2013 Julian Glover received a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday’s Honour’s List. I don’t think that’s enough. Julian Glover should be literally crowned King of All Nerdingom. With a career spanning five decades he’s a much love and respected actor. Instead of being associated with one character or series, he has left his mark […]

Batman: The Animated Series – ‘Mudslide’ – Forgotten Childhood

The last episode of Batman: The Animated Series I wrote about was Baby Doll. It was fairly decent and entertaining until we get to that outstanding climax. Suddenly this fun little distraction turned into a powerful TV drama and the whole episode was elevated to classic status. Today I’m following a similar pattern with Mudslide, the second to […]
