2 in 1 Showcase Episode 118: Star Trek

With a major motion picture hitting this week, Blake and Chase got together online to record a look at the past, present, and future of Star Trek. The guys talk about all incarnations of the franchise, their favorite and least favorite episodes and series, the history of Trek in comics, and why Chase is dreading the movie Blake is looking forward to. Come back on Tuesday for our thoughts on the film! In the picks this week, Chase loved Buck Rogers #0 and Blake finally makes his Free Comic Book Day pick, Resurrection #0. Our graphic novel pick of the week: The Complete Peanuts: 1971 to 1972. Write us with comments, suggestions, picks of the week, “Ask Chase Anything” questions, or anything else at Showcase@comixtreme.com!
PLUS: It’s the number one movie in the country, and it’s setting franchise records all over, but the question everyone from Hollywood to the Klingon Empire has been asking is: what do the 2 in 1 Showcase geeks think of the new Star Trek movie? This week you get two reviews in one! First up, Blake, Mike, Kenny and Daniel give you a perspective from the moderate fans of the series. Then, buckle up as Chase flies solo on the hardcore fan’s opinion.
At the Movies Episode 4: Star Trek
PLUS: This week, Blake and Chase weep like little girls over the final episode of Scrubs. Then, it’s time to get into the latest episode of Lost, Follow the Leader. (If you want to remain Lost-free, skip from 7:35 to 25:25 on your iPod!) After the Lost chat, the guys talk about the newly-greenlit Deadpool and Wolverine 2 movies, give a few more thoughts about X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Blake explains how Amazon.com has broken his heart, just a little.
