Star Trek - "The Cage" (w/ Leon Thomas)

Leon Thomas of Renegade Cut joins us ahead of the revival of his series Attack of the Trek to talk about the original Star Trek pilot "The Cage". There's no Kirk, no McCoy, no Chekov not even a Yeoman Rand in sight. But we do get a disturbingly emotive Spock, a Doctor with a medical bag filled with booze, a female first officer and a guy who just stands by the turbo lift for no reason.

WWF Shotgun Saturday Night

This week we take a look at the debut episode of Shotgun Saturday Night! This was the WWF's attempt at doing an edgy, late night show and it's totally culturally sensitive and not at all denigrating to women.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (KTMA)

OK, so we're slightly cheating this week. Since there's no full pilot available for MST3K we're going to be looking at the 4th episode of the original Mystery Science Theater 3000 series from Minneapolis-St. Paul area channel KTMA TV 23. Also this is the first time we look at the humble beginnings of a show that would go on to be become a classic series.
