CLL 36 - Eclipses, Cons & Discovery

On episode 35 of CLL, Jonathan is joined by John Ambrose from the Geek News Now writing team. Ambrose has been a staff writer for GNN for just about one year and he recently published his 100th article for the site. Ambrose has a lot of available spaces on his geeky bingo card and is launching a new project called “An Old Geek Watches” where he tries to catch up on the geeky things in media that he’s missed up to this point in his life. He’s starting to watch Star Trek from the very beginning to start to fill in those gaps. Jonathan wanted to bring Ambrose on to answer his questions about Trek and to find out what his awareness of the franchise consists of.

CLL 33 - News Blitz

CLL #32 - Past/Future Tense

Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is back for its final episode of 2023 and we take a look in the rear view mirror at our favorite Star Trek and Star Wars projects throughout the year. Jonathan waxes poetic about a video game, Chris and Jonathan rehash their adoration for Picard Season 3, and more! The hosts also mention some of the things they’re looking forward to in 2024 from both franchises, despite an overall lack of information about what’s to come from either franchise. Before Chris and Jonathan discuss past and future things, they catch up the audience on their personal and professional lives, Jonathan talks about seeing John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Chris and Jonathan discuss their coverage of Steel City Con for Geek News Now as well as talk about their personal experiences at the December show.

CLL #32 - Past/Future Tense

Geek News Now is “FUELED BY THE FANS” and Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is too! On Star Trek Day, September 8, Geek News Now posted a photo asking YOU to react to your favorite Starfleet captain. The post was notably missing one Captain Benjamin Sisko and y’all let us know it! There were hundreds of comments asking about Sisko, so seeing as how Star Trek is kinda our thing, the hosts of CLL decided to get together and pick their favorite Sisko episodes and the things that we feel make Sisko a unique personality and a wonderful Starfleet captain! We brought back John Mark Tolly from the GNN shows War of the Stars: A Star Wars Podcast and Star Wars Through The Eyes of a Child to wax poetic about the inimitable Benjamin Sisko!

CLL 30 - Strange New Worlds Season 2

Episode 29 of CLL joins an already in-progress discussion of Season 3 of Star Trek Picard.  Jonathan, Chris, and Mikey of the Deucecast Movie Show talk Episodes 6-10 of Picard’s final season.  It should go without saying, but there are full spoilers for the plot of the season throughout the discussion.  Jonathan kicks off the show with an announcement about an upcoming guest interview on the podcast.  Since the initial recording was almost 3 hours, the three hosts get a little delirious towards the end, but there’s some fun stuff that gets left in.  Thanks again for continuing to listen to the show.  We’d love for you to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.  Check the links below the chapter stops for everywhere to find the show and subscribe to The Deucecast Movie Show!

CLL #29 - Picard S3, Pt. 2

Chris and Jonathan are joined by Mikey from the Deuceast Movie Show Podcast to break down the incredible third season of Star Trek Picard!  The discussion was so lively and in depth that it ran for nearly THREE HOURS!  So we’re releasing it in two parts the month of July, as Episodes 28 and 29.  



Episode 28 of CLL has the usual stuff like How Did You Geek This Week and a couple news stories.  Then, the first five episodes of Picard season three are discussed before the ending theme for the podcast kicks in.  Fun was had in this first half, some potshots are taken at the Sequel trilogy, and much 12 Monkeys love gets showered upon the show!

CLL#10 - Dr. Erin MacDonald Interview

Join Chris and Jonathan, two friends from Pittsburgh who love BOTH Star Trek and Star Wars and cover both franchises in this podcast.   Many episodes begin with How Did You Geek This Week,  where Chris and Jonathan discuss things outside of Trek and Wars.
