  1. Rewind: Exploring Two Standout Episodes of the Quantum Leap Sequel

    Rewind: Exploring Two Standout Episodes of the Quantum Leap Sequel

    In this episode of Rewind, we dive into two powerful installments of the Quantum Leap sequel series—each showcasing the heart, humanity, and high stakes that define the franchise. Episode Spotlight #1: “Family Style” — Directed by Deborah M. Pratt We begin with Family Style, directed by the legendary Deborah M. Pratt—the first African‑American drama and sci‑fi Executive Producer in television. Pratt co‑created the original Quantum Leap, wrote 25 episodes, and co‑wrote another 15, shaping the DNA of the series from the ground up. In Family Style, Ben Song (Raymond Lee) leaps into 2009 and finds himself in the middle of a struggling Indian family’s fight to save their restaurant. The episode blends cultural nuance, family tension, and the classic Quantum Leap urgency as Ben works to keep the family together and their dream alive. Episode Spotlight #2: “Ben Song for the Defense” Next, we examine Ben Song for the Defense, where Ben leaps into the body of an overwhelmed public defender—one of the few people who believes her client is truly innocent. The episode digs into the justice system, personal conviction, and the emotional toll of fighting for someone who has no one else in their corner. This episode also features Nanrisa Lee as Jen Chu, whose grounded presence adds depth to the team dynamic. And of course, we discuss Ernie Hudson’s role as Herbert “Magic” Williams, whose leadership and history continue to anchor the series.

  3. Girls Night In with Writer Landon Lee & Director Allison Roberto

    Girls Night In with Writer Landon Lee & Director Allison Roberto

    In this episode, we sit down with writer Landon Lee and director Allison Roberto to dive into their sharp, funny, and delightfully twisted short film Girls Night In—a satirical horror story born from one deceptively simple question: What happens when you build a film around the Bechdel test… and then immediately break it in the most absurd way possible? The Bechdel test, of course, asks whether a work of fiction includes at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Landon and Allison took that premise and flipped it on its head, asking: “Where is the most ridiculous place two women could be fighting over some guy?” The result is a genre-bending short that blends horror, comedy, and social commentary with a wink—and a few splashes of blood.

    Ike Eisenmann and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

    This week on Trek Tuesday, we’re joined by actor Ike Eisenmann, a performer whose career spans beloved Disney classics and one of the most emotionally charged moments in Star Trek cinema. Most fans first discovered Ike as Tony in Escape to Witch Mountain and its sequel Return to Witch Mountain, where he shared the screen with legends like Christopher Lee and Bette Davis. In this episode, Ike opens up about what it was really like working with these iconic performers—offering candid, funny, and heartfelt stories from the set. But to Star Trek fans, Ike holds a special place in Federation history. He is Peter Preston, Scotty’s nephew and the young engineering cadet whose sacrifice in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan remains one of the film’s most powerful emotional beats. His performance helped shape the tone of the movie’s final act, and his character continues to resonate with fans decades later. And now, Peter Preston has taken on a new life: 🖖 He’s officially an action figure, thanks to the team at Nacelle. SAVE 17% ON PLUS TODAY

    “The Infection Spreads: Re‑examining The Strain as a Pandemic Story”

    In this episode, we sink our teeth back into The Strain, the FX series that dared to reimagine vampirism not as gothic romance, but as a full‑scale biological outbreak. Running from 2014 to 2017, the show fused Guillermo del Toro’s signature creature design with a chilling epidemiological lens—long before global pandemics became part of everyday conversation. But The Strain’s path to television was anything but straightforward. This week, we rewind through its evolution from page to screen, explore the creative battles behind its world‑building, and revisit how its viral take on vampirism reshaped the genre. Featured Interviews Guillermo del Toro – co‑creator, visionary, and architect of the strigoi Miguel Gomez – “Gus Elizalde,” street‑smart survivor turned warrior Natalie Brown – “Kelly Goodweather,” whose transformation remains one of the show’s most haunting arcs Sean Astin – “Jim Kent,” navigating moral gray zones in the CDC Jonathan Hyde – “Eldritch Palmer,” the billionaire with a dangerous bargain Kevin Durand – “Vasiliy Fet,” fan‑favorite exterminator with a hero’s heart Mia Maestro – “Dr. Nora Martinez,” fighting the outbreak on the front lines Richard Sammel – “Thomas Eichhorst,” the chillingly composed right hand of the Master David Bradley – “Abraham Setrakian,” the Holocaust survivor carrying decades of knowledge and trauma   SAVE 17% ON PLUS TODAY
