In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

Bernstein is along for the journey. How does the episode deal with its approach to pacificsm? Is this a progressive story or does the desire for Kirk to be Always Right overwhelm things? And how does it fit in with history a la 1967? Plus in Recommendations we have a novel and two movies. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

There are classics and then... there's Khan! Yes, putting in his first appearace - shiny go-go boy outfit and all - it's time to welcome the apparently-unstoppable influence of everyone's favourite genocidal loony to Star Trek as Kev and JG tackle Space Seed. But dealing with a monster (well, "monster") of Khan's stature requires help so Matt Fink is along for the ride! Can Khan convince as a conniving dictator or is it time to can the Khan? Does Space Seed deserve to be remembered as an episode in its own right, away from it's future influence on the franchise (and just how progressive does it turn out to be anyway?)? And is Ricardo Montalbán able to hold all of this together? Plus in Recommendatrions we have a book, a book series, and an unexpected TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

Welcome, friends, to the podcast about Return of the Archons, and may peace be with you. Yes, it's time to tackle a number of firsts on Star Trek, with Return of the Archons and guest Lenny Burnham! How does Star Trek's first whacking big anti-Communist screed go? Why does the episode grind to a halt about halfway through? And how convicing IS it the first time Captain Kirk defeats a computer with logic?

It's time for Kev and JG to face a Court Martial this week, as Kirk is put on trial for the death of a crewmember. But they're not taking the stand alone , and Jonathan Boehle is along to help with the defense! How does Star Trek take to doing a legal procedual? How screwy is the Federation legal system? And just how far wrong can one closing fight go? Plus in Recommendations we have the same TV show twice over (to be fair, it's a good one!) and, uniquely, a theme park! eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

It's time for some time travel shenangians this week as Star Trek (and TTTY) head back to the 60s for the first time with Tomorrow Is Yestserday. But there's no slingshotting around the sun for just two, so this week JG and Kev are joined by Sarah Gulick! How does the episode capture the period detail? Is there a good sense of place and time? And does the time travel plot remotely hang together? Plus in Recommendations we have three separate novels / novelists and one Netflix TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

We venture into strange, possibly occupied, territory this episode as Kev and JG step into the Arena. But fortunately they're not battling alone - Graham Blackaby is along for the fight! How does the Gorn stand up, all these years later? How effective is the introductory section on the colony? And does the morality of the episode work? Plus in Recommendations we have a 50s movie, a more contemporary film and an Amazon Prime TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIt's time for some godly comedy shenanigans on Talking Trek this episode as JG and Kev encounter The Squire Of Gothos. And along to help deal with any the ride are childish tantrums from super-powerful beings are Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marlin! How does the Squire of Gothos compare to other Star Trek comedy episodes? How long does it take for JG to torpedo any remaining credibility he might have (hint: not long!)? And how well-handled are the side characters?

It's time for a bit of a break this episode as Kev and JG take a little Shore Leave. And along for what will doubtless prove to be a relaxing time with absolutely no large bunnies or inexplicable deaths is Anthony Strand! How do the comic elements stack up against the drama? How goes 60s sexism this episode? And can anyone praise DeForest Kelley more? Plus in Recommendations we have a documentary series, a movie and an extended discussion about Doctor Who's final Jodie Whittaker episode, "The Power Of The Doctor" (OK this bit is normally kept mysterious - well, "mysterious" - but dammit (Jim) it's a good conversation!) eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

There can be few episodes of television more well-known than Balance of Terror, and few which have contributed quite as much to popular culture. So this week, it's time to tackle an episode that really does live up to the title of "all-time classc". But does the episode deserve that reputation? Can William Shatner manage to carry the dramatic heft of the episode? And can Star Trek easily absorb influeces that go far beyond the western? Plus in Recommendations we have a pair of classic horror movies, some anime and a comic-book TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...
