Get Me Doug Jones

This week on Trek Geeks, we're peeling back the layers of prosthetics to sit down with a true cinematic legend. Star Trek: Discovery's Saru himself, Doug Jones, joins the show alongside Executive Producer Derek Maki to discuss their upcoming documentary, "Get Me Doug Jones" — a film that chronicles the incredible career of a man who has spent decades bringing film and television's most iconic creatures to life while remaining one of the industry's most humble (and huggable) figures. The documentary is far more than a highlight reel of silicone and spirit gum; it's an intimate exploration of the man under the mask. From his early days as a mime to his transformative, award-winning work in The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth, and Hellboy, Derek Maki and his team capture the physical discipline and emotional vulnerability required to dominate the genre. We discuss the creative process behind the film, the challenge of condensing such a prolific career into a single narrative, and why Doug's story is essentially the heart of modern creature effects. We get the inside scoop on the production, the footage being unearthed for the project, and what it's like for Doug to finally step out from behind the makeup for a retrospective this personal — complete with plenty of behind-the-scenes stories and the usual brand of banter. Grab a drink and join the conversation. Whether you're a fan of Saru, the Silver Surfer, or just high-quality documentary filmmaking, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Sixty years after the debut of Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek continues to inspire new generations of fans, creators, and dreamers.

Woke Since 1966

Fran and Tamia are taking the word back. Before it was weaponized, "woke" had roots — Black American roots.

From the classic episodes you already know to the unsung gems you may have missed. 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6!   ______________________________________________ NAACP 2023 Resolution 🌐 Website: https://naacp.org/resources/reclaiming-word-woke-part-african-american-culture Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera, Stephanie Baker & Chris Garis  Logo: Dena Massenburg  Music: "Poppin off the Rip" by RAGE (YouTube Audio Library) The SyFy Sistas Podcast — named 2025 Best All-Around Star Trek Podcast by TrekMovie Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/syfysistas  Subscribe, Like, Share: linktr.ee/syfysistas  Find us on The Trek Geeks Podcasts Network: trekgeeks.com FanSets — Our pins have character.
