-
- TV & Film
The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have gone back to an older project they shepherded earlier on the podcast, "the Void," a sci-fi TV series Ben began developing in the vein of "star Trek" meets Lovecraftian horror. It was the inspiration for the 2022 "Star Trek-ify" episodes, and now the guys are trying to work through what Ben has roposed as the multiple seasons of this project. But first, the guys will discuss new movies as well as a trio of sci-fi pilots all linked to "star Trek" imitators, the 1967 BBC "Solornauts," "Boldly Going Nowhere" from the "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creators, and as a bonus, the dramatic conent of a 1999 "Star Trek" porn parody (link is SFW edit) that, shockingly, is actually pretty faithful and reverent and well-regarded by fans.

Episode 406 incudes:
-Quentin Tarantino cancels his next last movie. Maybe.
-Trailer reactions to "Trap" and "Mufasa."
-"Rebel Moon Part 2" is finally here and it was not worth the wait or the first movie.
-Ben sings the praises of "Boy Kills World" for its inventive action and attitude.
-TV Pilots-- "The Solornauts" / "Boldly Going Nowhere"
-The 1967 "Solornauts" is a goofy proof of concept that has so little to offer besides as a time capsule. The "Boldly Going Nowhere" has some funny moments but also feels under-developed as far as being a "Star Trek" parody or homage. "The Orville" it is not.
-Bonus discussion over the "fan film" of "star Trek" which is really a safely edited 24-minute version of the 1999 adult film paordy, and yet it's by far the best written and most successful homage of them all.
