- Críticas de TV
Jason Weems is a working creative and resident expert on all things Austin, Texas. He’s a working musician, podcaster, does voice-over work, event promotion, is a tour guide, and is now also a published author. Jason's first book, A History Lover’s Guide to Austin, cemented his reputation as the "Face of Austin," as he was dubbed by the local visitor and convention bureau. He's following that work up with an ambitious 7-volume guide to Texas Barbecue, the first volume of which will be available to pre-order fall of 2022, shipping in time for the holidays.
In the Pocket Magazine called Jason's music "mysterious & sweet" and his voice has been described as “honey and gravel,” a winning combo. His latest single, “Star Crossed Lovers,” which was released shortly before the pandemic, was produced by legendary Austin artist/producer Jinx McGee and features the one and only Shawnee Kilgore's vocals. "Star Crossed Lover" was featured as the “Indie Song of the Day” by Alternative Addiction.
We review Star Trek (the Original Series), Season 1, Episode 19, “Tomorrow is Yesterday." Topics include: the actual creative professionals who live and work in Austin, Jason’s new book, "I’m a doctor, not an horologist!", how to get those first few press quotes, working with two Austin legends, Jinx McGee and Shawnee Kilgore, finding a producer who recognizes you as an individual artist, “I want to write songs of celebration, joy, relief, connection, and love,” songwriting as a solitary business, humanizing creativity, as opposed to mythologizing it, creativity as play in a culture of experts, why we both love Kerrville Folk Festival so, so much, what makes Camp NashBill so great, “it’s a hot air balloon, and it lifts me,” what Grace is getting for Christmas for her mom’s partner Rick, Jason’s impressive 7 volume vision for his new book series on Texas barbecue, Jason’s favorite Star Trek series, time travel, the Slingshot Effect, plot holes and problems with the technobabble, the meta-ness of Kirk and Spock talking about the first lunar mission in this episode, the fate of Apollo 1, the making of this episode is a kind of time travel and the watching of this episode is a kind of time travel, the great D.C. Fontana and her origin story, the history of female astronauts and female Trek writers, D.C. Fontana’s contribution to Trek, “Far Beyond the Stars,” “City on the Edge of Forever” and the argument for and against heavily adapting masterful science fiction for television, the Enterprise is a UFO, Captain Christopher and are there no burgers to flip in the future?, “Should call it the Boomerang because it keeps coming back around,” stories of alien abductions in the cultural consciousness of the 60s, the Slingshot Effect as a metaphor for the Hero’s Journey and how we know when we've made it home.
