    Casino Royale at 20: Celebrating Daniel Craig's First Bond

    Casino Royale celebrates its 20th anniversary this November. Kerwin sits down with Tom Pickup, host of the Really 007 podcast, to look back at Daniel Craig's first outing as James Bond and why it still means so much to fans two decades later. What is Casino Royale? It's the 21st James Bond film from Eon Productions and a full reboot of the series, with Daniel Craig as a younger Bond earning his 007 status. It opened November 16, 2006 in the UK and November 17 in the US, and earned over $600 million worldwide, the highest-grossing Bond film up to that point. Bond fandom often gets passed down through families, and that's where this conversation starts. Kerwin and Tom talk about: - How Daniel Craig won fans over after a tough casting announcement - The black and white opening and the missing gun barrel - Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" and David Arnold's score - Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre, Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, and Judi Dench's return as M - The Madagascar parkour chase and Martin Campbell's practical stunts - How the film keeps a long poker game exciting - Why Casino Royale is Kerwin's favorite Bond film - What comes next: the new Bond, Denis Villeneuve, Steven Knight and the Amazon era Find Tom and the Really 007 podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen.

    Star Trek IV at 40: The Making of The Voyage Home

    Go behind the scenes of Star Trek IV with John Tenuto and Maria José Tenuto, authors of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: The Making of the Classic Film. Recorded on Star Trek Day, the 60th anniversary of the original series, this conversation covers how "the one with the whales" almost starred Eddie Murphy, how a toy engineer built the humpback whales that fooled Leonard Nimoy himself, why the probe's eerie call is actually Nimoy's own voice, and how Paramount dug up a parking lot to bring back the legendary Blue Sky Tank. Released November 26, 1986, on a budget of $21 to $25 million, The Voyage Home earned $133 million worldwide. That made it the highest-grossing Star Trek film at the time, and it earned four Academy Award nominations. It also closes out what fans call the Genesis Trilogy (Star Trek II, III and IV).

    How Star Wars Saved NPR: The Untold Story of the Star Wars Radio Dramas

    In 1977, NPR was on the brink of losing its audience and its funding. Then came an unlikely lifeline: Star Wars. In this episode of Father Son Galaxy, we sit down with Maria Jose Tenuto and John Tenuto, authors of The Star Wars Radio Dramas: Brian Daley and the Serialization That Saved NPR, to unpack how a scrappy radio adaptation, turned a galaxy far, far away into a ratings phenomenon and helped rescue public radio in America. We dig into the USC connection that started it all, George Lucas's surprisingly modest asking price, standout performances from the new cast (including Brock Peters), and the emotional, 13-year road to Return of the Jedi's radio premiere.

    Why Captain America: Civil War Is the MOST IMPORTANT MCU Film (10 Years Later)

    Ten years on, Captain America: Civil War still hits different, and dig into why.

From the Lagos opening to the airport hangar brawl to that gut-punch finale in Siberia, it's a conversation about trauma, loyalty, and choosing sides—and why this one Avengers movie still sparks debate a decade later.  (Mild spoilers ahead for a movie that's had 10 years to spread the word.) Join the conversation across generations, only on Father.Son.Galaxy.
