Trek West 5 - A Television Podcast

TrekWest5 (Coronavirus Edition) #1: Welcome, everything is fine!

trekwest5@thehomestarmy.com (Peter Nash, Joey Smith) — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 09:08:00 +0000

Well, the long drought is finally over. TrekWest5 has returned, and Peter and I are discussing "The Good Place!"

However, due to COVID-19, the podcast takes place over Zoom rather than in person - so no fancy microphones, audio quality is sub-par, and we didn't really do any edits - but we hope you guys all enjoy the return regardless!

I'm not going to try and capture the rating we gave for the episodes in TrekWest5 (Coronavirus Edition) #1: Welcome, everything is fine!

This podcast covers episodes 1-4 of The Good Place, Season 1.
Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    What has happened to Peter and Joey since the last podcast
    Joey's Culture Corner: Defending Your Life
    How has the pandemic affected Joey and Peter?
    The Netflix Voltron - Possible content for a future podcast
    Joey's adventures trying to introduce The Good Place to his wife and children
    Why Peter's wife isn't watching The Good Place with us

Yes. It's that time again. We cover Groundhog Day for our podcast movie special this week. What a great film by Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliot. Not only is this a hilarious film but it has a really great message at the end. Hopefully we can all become the type of people that are wiling to ask others around us: "Is there anything I can do for you today?". If we can then not only us, but the world around us will be a better place. Duration: 1h 59m 28s

Podcast 187: All Of This Has Happened Before...

trekwest5@thehomestarmy.com (Peter Nash, Joey Smith) — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:00:00 +0000

This week we finally put an end to Joey's misery about the story of BSG. And yes, it is better than Lost. I think every tv finale is going to be compared to Lost for quite a while, because of how terrible it was. BSG had a comparatively very good finale where they wrap up most of the big questions. But more, as a retelling of an already beloved tv show, it carved out its own place within SciFi history. This tv podcast covers the finale of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

trekwest5@thehomestarmy.com (Peter Nash, Joey Smith) — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:00:00 +0000

This is late in getting posted by a week from when we recorded it due to unforeseen illness. And this was our first week back after probably a month off. So we had a lot to talk about. BSG is almost over. Can't wait to see how Joey reacts to the finish. This tv podcast covers episodes 17 and 18 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

Podcast 184: They're Gonna Kill Us

trekwest5@thehomestarmy.com (Peter Nash, Joey Smith) — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:00:00 +0000

A reckoning was predicted, and what a reckoning that Gaeta and Zarek get for their actions. Farewell dear Gaeta. It was really sad to see your decline. Even if it is getting to the end of the series, it is a gutsy move to kill off two of the main characters. This tv podcast covers episodes 13 and 14 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

trekwest5@thehomestarmy.com (Peter Nash, Joey Smith) — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:30:00 +0000

A return to the podcast after our holiday break. We had to change plans of recording venue since Joey forgot to bring up the normal recording laptop and so we made a trip back to the office. Thankfully Joey and I had talked them in to buying all the equipment that we would need. Lots of surprises in this week, but the best and most sad was the death of Dualla. Gonna miss the heck out of her. This tv podcast covers episodes 11 and 12 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.
