The 1960 film
What happens when one man travels beyond his own lifetime and discovers that humanity's future is nothing like he imagined?
In this episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast, we travel all the way back to 1960 to revisit one of the classic films of science fiction: George Pal's The Time Machine, based on the groundbreaking novel by H.G. Wells.
Starring Rod Taylor as inventor George, the film takes us on an incredible journey through time as George travels from the Victorian era into a distant future where humanity has been divided into two very different civilizations: the peaceful Eloi and the terrifying Morlocks.
But The Time Machine is about much more than a fantastic machine that can travel through the years. The film raises fascinating questions about humanity, technology, class, progress, survival, and what kind of world we are creating for those who come after us.
In This Episode:
We take a look at George's incredible time machine and the film's vision of time travel.
We explore the film's depiction of the future and how dramatically Earth has changed.
We meet the Eloi and discover the unsettling truth behind their seemingly perfect existence.
We venture underground with the Morlocks and discuss what they represent.
We talk about the film's themes of technological progress, human nature, and the consequences of our choices.
We examine the special effects and filmmaking of The Time Machine and why the movie remains such an important piece of classic science fiction.
We also discuss H.G. Wells' original story and how the 1960 film brings it to the big screen.
Whether you're a longtime fan of classic science fiction or you're discovering The Time Machine for the first time, this is a journey through the past, present, and future that you won't want to miss!
Set the controls for the year 1960 and join us for another adventure on The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!

We explore why this episode continues to resonate decades later, how its themes of grief, legacy, and the unbreakable bond between parents and children land differently as we age, and what it reveals about the human experience through the lens of science fiction.
This conversation gets real. We share our own stories, our own losses, and the moments in “The Visitor” that still stop us in our tracks.

We explore why this movie continues to resonate—from its heartfelt exploration of Peter Parker’s struggle between responsibility and desire, to Alfred Molina’s unforgettable turn as Doctor Octopus, to the film’s kinetic action sequences that set a new bar for the genre.
We unpack the film’s themes, its impact on the superhero boom that followed, the performances that made it iconic, and the ways Raimi’s signature style shaped the emotional core of the story. Whether you’re a lifelong Spidey fan or revisiting the film with fresh eyes, this conversation celebrates what makes Spider-Man 2 a standout in sci‑fi and comic‑book cinema.

Will they feel the same way Brian does about this story? Find out what the rest of the crew thinks in this week's episode!
The 1951 Classic Sci-Fi Film.
This week on The BIG Sci‑Fi Podcast, the crew journeys back to the golden age of cinematic science fiction to explore the apocalyptic spectacle of George Pal’s 1951 classic, When Worlds Collide. Long before asteroid‑impact blockbusters and CGI‑driven disaster epics, this film dared to imagine humanity’s final days—and the desperate scramble to survive the unthinkable.
Join the team as they dig into the movie’s groundbreaking visual effects, its surprisingly urgent themes of global responsibility, and the moral dilemmas that arise when only a select few can escape Earth’s destruction. From its bold, biblical overtones to its earnest optimism about humanity’s future among the stars, When Worlds Collide remains a fascinating artifact of early sci‑fi cinema.
Expect lively debate, deep-cut trivia, and plenty of BIG sci‑fi energy as the hosts unpack why this film still resonates, how it shaped the disaster genre, and what it reveals about the hopes and anxieties of the post‑war era.

Expect lively discussion, sharp insights, and plenty of BIG sci‑fi energy as the hosts revisit what makes this film a standout in the genre’s history. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Colossus or discovering it for the first time, this episode will have you thinking about the line between creator and creation long after the credits roll.

Sci-Fi Thriller or Western in Outer Space?
Season 10 of The BIG Sci‑Fi Podcast launches with a deep dive into Outland (1981), the gritty sci‑fi thriller starring the legendary Sean Connery. Once dismissed as a box‑office disappointment, this atmospheric space‑frontier tale has slowly built a loyal cult following. But does it deserve a place among Sci-Fi's underrated gems, or is it simply a high‑noon showdown transplanted to Jupiter’s moon Io?
Our crew breaks down the film’s world‑building, themes, production design, and Connery’s steely performance as Marshal William O'Neil. Along the way, they debate the big question:
Is Outland true science fiction… or just a western wearing a space suit?
Strap in for a thoughtful, fun, and spirited conversation as we kick off a brand‑new season of sci‑fi exploration.
Listen now and boldly go with us into Season 10!

Writer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Davy Perez joined us for a fun conversation about writing for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (seasons 1 and 2). He shares fascinating insights into the process for writing for this much beloved new series. He couldn't share anything concerning season 3, but we promise that there is a lot of interesting insight into the episodes he worked on and behind the scenes fun. He's an accomplished writer and producer and it was a great pleasure to learn about his life outside of Trek as well!

The 1979 Disney Sci-Fi Film
The year is 1979. The name of the movie is The Black Hole. This sci-fi film from Disney was it's own kind of something else, in our opinion. Part 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and part 2001: A Space Odyssey. It had some nice touches and pieces, but does it stand the test of time? Listen to this week's episode to find out what our courageous crew has to say about this ambitious and interesting film that rounded out a decade of interesting and ambitious sci-fi films.

The 1972 Sci-Fi Film
Come with us as we explore this one-of-a-kind conservation sci-film from the mind and heart of the legendary Douglas Trumbull. His direction of this 1972 film was unexpected, but executed with great love and care for the message of taking better care of our planet. Ahead of it's time in some ways, and troubling in others, we talk about this film from all the angles. We hope you'll have fun listening and, if you've never seen this film, that you might give it a chance!

The 1985 Sci-Fi Film
Young Ethan Hawke and young River Phoenix star in this 1985 lack luster sci-fi film that had heart and good editing. We still had fun talking about this little known film that was outshined at the box office, coming out just one week after the release of another little film known as Back To The Future. Even if it's release would have been a bit more strategic, this film struggles on so many levels but, like we said, it has heart! Check out our review of this film and get ready to have fun, because we are particularly banter-full on this episode!

A Sci-Fi Fan Who Writes Fresh Sherlock Holmes Tales!
We had the delightful opportunity to spend an evening with Christopher D. Abbott, a reader's favorite award-winning author and a true master of storytelling. From his passion for Dr. Who to his best-selling Sherlock Holmes novels and novellas, Chris' journey through the genres of crime, fantasy, science fiction, and horror was nothing short of fascinating. We were thoroughly captivated by his insights and stories, and you will be too! Don’t miss this episode, or you'll be left wondering if Sherlock himself might deduce your absence as a case of 'The Missing Listener.'

Revisiting the Last TNG Film
Star Trek: Nemesis spelled the end of The Next Generation era of Trek. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times - depending on how you felt about this film! Heralded as a grand exit for the TNG crew, it left most fans feeling indifferent or disappointed. The BIG Sci-Fi crew decided to watch it again (some of us for the first time in years!) to see if we would feel differently about it having watched with fresh eyes and a more mature perspective. You'll have to listen to find out what we think about the film that sent the TNG crew packing...at least until Picard rolled around (thank God!).

We love Neelix, yes we do! We love Neelix, how 'bout you?
Neelix was a one of a kind alien regular on Star Trek: Voyager. Played by the talented actor, Ethan Phillips, Neelix was a character most people loved as he brought a lot of the show's humor and sensitivity to the forefront of the episodes he was featured in. Love him or dislike him (because hate is way too strong of a word!), we wanted to talk about this pivotal character to a beloved part of the Trek franchise.

Join us as we dive into our own dream world of what we wish the planners would come up with in Trek.

A Look Back at an Often Overlooked Trek Film
Star Trek: Insurrection is a film most TNG fans never got particularly excited about. It's probably not on anyone's top 5 favorite Trek films, however, it's probably better than you remember! In this hysterical and out of control episode, our crew, having recently re-watched the film, discuss its highs and lows with fresh perspective. You don't want to miss a single moment of this week's episode because it is filled with tons of banter back and forth about what our crew loves and could live without when it comes to the 1998 film, Star Trek: Insurrection.

Discussing the popular, iconic, and graphic film
RoboCop was a film that sparked the imagination of movie-goers and launched a franchise. It is iconic, cheesy, violent, and filled with satire. Our crew discusses all the gruesome details of this film and talk about what makes it great and not so great. We have our opinions and whether you're a fan of this film or not, we hope you will enjoy our conversation.

Actress, Mother, Songwriter, and more!
(THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON JULY 5, 2023, PRIOR TO THE STRIKE BY SAG-AFTRA.)
We were pleased to visit with the multi-talented Margot Rose who portrayed Eline (Picard's wife) in one of TNG's most popular episodes, The Inner Light. We talk all about this amazing and touching episode, get some great behind the scenes stories along the way, but we were fascinated to learn that Margot is a gifted songwriter and is working on her own stage production to honor the life of her daughter. You'll want to sit down with a warm cup of earl grey for this one! We fell in love with Margot and you will, too!

More Than Meets The Eye
We unpack the action-packed film that brought Transformers to the "big screen" in 2007! This special effects heavy film still looks great in 2023 and we talk about the things we love and flat out hate about this film. We mostly love it, though! There's always a lot to talk about when we sit down together to talk about sci-fi films like this one! Calling all autobots for a fun and exciting episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!

This week we discuss the work of science fiction legend, Harlan Ellison. Whether you're a fan or a critic, his work continues to stand the test of time. Star Trek fans love him for his contribution to the original series in City on the Edge of Forever. His career covered lots of ground, so much so, that we couldn't begin to fit it all in one episode. So we chose the material that speaks most powerfully to us.
We had some technical difficulty in the episode and Cris can only be heard at the beginning of the recording. He was having internet issues and could only be with us for a few short minutes. Nevertheless, we think you'll find this week's episode fascinating and engaging!

Bruce Horak portrayed Hemmer in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and quickly became a fan favorite. Then, they killed him off the show! It was one of the most beautiful and tragic moments in Trek history (in our opinion). We had the chance to visit with this dynamic and multi-talented actor and artist.
You will love the stories from his experience with Trek as well has hearing about his other projects and interests in life. Bruce is quite the gentleman and we loved having him on the show. We're proud to call him a new friend of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!

Her story is a remarkeable one as she worked in comedy with none other than Whoopi Goldberg, dated William Shatner, starred in classic b-movie films, and is a best selling author. You will hear stories on this episode you may never have heard before behind the scenes of ST2: TWOK, as well as other stories from her career.

It's our one year anniversary here at The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to invite back one of our favorite guests, Doug Drexler. Doug is an Academy Award winner and has worked extensively on Star Trek through the years. He's made his mark in television and film as a visual effects artist and in make-up as well. He loves science fiction and Trek, in particular, and it shows! We also get the opportunity to celebrate the life of his late wife, Dorothy Duder. Doug shares some touching and fun stories about his life with this amazing woman who brought such joy and hapiness to his life and everyone she came in contact with. This episode is dedicated to her memory.

Without a doubt, this is the BIGGEST topic we have ever tackled! Ranking our beloved Trek films is hard enough when we make our own individual lists. Put all four of us in a Zoom room and ask us to make one single list, an official list of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast, and you're asking for lots of back and forth debate, tons of banter, and even more laughter. Even an occassional gasp and sigh can be heard as our crew unravels and develops our one BIG Sci-Fi ranking of all the Trek films...not including Galaxy Quest! This episode is so big that we had to split it into two parts!

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine went boldly where no Star Trek show had ever gone before. The show debuted in January of 1993 and forever changed the landscape of the Star Trek universe. It was darker and infused a spiritual eliment into the story telling on a regular basis. It was not wiley received originally, but then they made the Klingons bad guys again and brought in a fan favorite, Worf. The show took a dramatic turn in it's fourth season and is now enjoying a growing and enthusiastic fan base. Some are calling it the forgotten gem of Trek. A growing number of fans are even calling it the best Trek series of all time! What do you think? Listen to this compelling discussion between Adeen, Brian, Cris, and Steve to find out what our crew thinks about this controversial and groundbreaking series.

We compare a classic science fiction film made when we knew little about the planet Mars versus The Martian, a modern science fiction film made with a much more realistic and knowledgeable understanding of the red giant. Both films have their own level of charm and allow for a bit of "willing suspension of disbelief." However, we tackle these films with an open mind and have fun comparing the realistic and "just for fun" content in these films. We hope you enjoy the banter and fun we have discussing the differences between these two sci-fi giants!

Welcome to season 3 of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast! In this season opener, we have the privilege of talking with David Gerrold who wrote one of the most famous and popular Trek episodes of all time, The Trouble With Tribbles (OST). David also worked on the first season of TNG, but is a prolific and talented science fiction author outside of the Trek universe. He won Hugo and Nebula awards for his book, The Martin Child, which was later adapted into a film. He has a unique story to tell about his time in Trek and you will be both intrigued and, perhaps, shocked at what he has to say about it all. The crew really enjoyed their time with David and we hope you will, too!
You can learn more about David on his website.

Adeena leads the crew this week on a voyage into the known of what we know about science and how it interacts with most sci-fi films and television. How does the unknown of the infinite universes created by science fiction authors and film producers interact with the reality of the science we know to be true today? Can a film or story have bad science and be a good or even great film? Can we enjoy a film that has bad science but a great story? Or does the lack of good science bother us so much that we turn it off and discard it? This week, the crew asks these questions and more as we discuss the science of sci-fi.

This week we go on a trip down memory lane as we remember one of the greatest sequels ever made in film history - Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan! This film has so much good about it. It has the action, the effects, the music, the story development and, most of all, the character development we loved in the original Trek. Thanks to Saint Nick, WOK breathed much needed new life into the movie franchise and propelled the series into true legendary status. The crew of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast are obviously passionate about this film as so many Trek fan are. This is a "must listen" episode if you are a Trek fan. Even if Trek isn't your thing, this episode just might make you want to watch or re-watch this fantastic film!

Cris presented us with the recent HBO film, Moonfall. Most of us watched it (accept for Steve - lucky guy!) and we discuss quite candidly our feelings concerning this disaster film. Basically, the moon is falling from orbit into earth and there isn't much hope. It's a real "pick-me-up" of a film! Whatever the case and, whether you have watched this film, love it or hate it or somewhere in between...you will love listening to us talk about it!

The talented John Billingsley, best known for his portrayal as Dr. Phlox from Star Trek Enterprise, joins us this week (and next) as we talk about his time in Trek, as well as many of his other projects and passions such as reading and the Hollywood Food Coalition. You don't want to miss this fun and intriguing episode.
This episode does have language that our typical episodes do not have. Please be advised - this episode is PG-13! It is rated (Explicit) for the occasional "colorful metaphor." Nevertheless, we had so much fun with John and he is a fantastic guest! We were so thrilled to get the opportunity to talk with him and he was gracious with his time as this interview will be two parts...which we are excited for.

Michael Moore is best known by sci-fi fans as a prop maker for shows like TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT, along with 4 TNG films, and the Hobbit films. His credentials are superb and impressive as he has worked on hundreds of films and television shows. It was a pleasure to have him on the show and to learn about behind the scenes stuff that us Trekkies love! Our time with Michael was highly enjoyable and interesting...so much so that we had to break it up into two parts!

We ask him all sorts of questions and live vicariously through him for the length of this episode! This was recorded on Thursday, August 25th as the convention was just kicking off for the weekend. We also make mention of the Artemis launch, which was later delayed. More on that in a future episode! Steve joined us from Hawaii, as he was celebrating his 41st anniversary! Thanks to his beautiful wife, Elaine, for letting us borrow him for this recording. Lots of tangents and antics are ahead on this episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast.

You could describe this episode as our "horror" episode, but it's really just about the most horrible films in sci-fi (according to us)! These are the films that frustrated and annoyed us, that made us want our money and time back! These films are the ones we never recommend to anyone! In fact, we warn people to stay away from them! That being the case, we also have a lot of fun discussing these films and giving you, our listeners, valuable information so you can remain the happy, smart people you are. Consider this episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast to be our BIG PSA!

He won an Academy Award for his make-up work on the film Dick Tracy and two Emmy's for his special effect work on Battlestar Galactica. Our crew was honored to have Mr. Drexler, who is a true Star Trek expert and passionate fan as a part of our podcast. His knowledge is vast and his hands on experience with the shows and films is extraordinary. He truly cares about this franchise and you will hear it in his voice as he describes his life and experience with Trek. Our conversation with Doug was so great we needed to break it into two parts.

Jackey Neyman Jones joins us for this week's conversation as we talk about one of the most popular episodes of Mystery Science Theater: 3K which covered the 1966 film, Manos the Hands of Fate. Jackey plays the little girl in the film, Debbie. Her father, Tom Neyman, played the master in the film and was an accomplished stage actor. Besides being one of the most popular and hilarious episodes of MST3K, this film is also considered to be one of the worst films of all time. We had the privilege to sit down with Jackey to talk about the story of Manos, her father, MST3K, her experience while filming Manos, as well as what she has been up to in recent years. Jackey is a talented artist and is producing amazing artwork and is a part of a new independent production that is seeking to make a series based on Manos (see link below). This is a fascinating look into a strange and fun part of film history. We were delighted to talk with Jackey and you will be delighted to hear her stories and how you can actually connect with her and her artwork.

We laugh a lot in this episode and our tangents are epic this week! You'll also learn about the eclectic tastes in music represented in our crew, as well as which franchise we would write a music score for, if we suddenly had the ability to do so! This episode crescendos on high note so you don't want to miss a single beat! Sit back with your favorite beverage and turn the volume up as this week's episode is a headbanger for sure!

Cristian Fox leads this week's discussion surrounding the very important question of whether the ends ever justifies the means, especially when thinking about the Star Trek universe. We discuss several episodes from Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager in this week's episode. This discussion gets serious, but we hope you have fun listening and engaging with this week's discussion because we are four of the most passionate Trek fans around and we have opinions!
NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the Russian incursion into Ukraine. We talk heavily about war in this episode and even mention Russia by name. We make comparisons based on the stories in Trek of association for the sake of our discussion. We are releasing this episode with great sensitivity to what is happening in Europe and would like to simply state that we, as a podcasting team, are against the invasion of a sovereign people over another.
