Episode 416 - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Jason Roskam (0:30)

And then we will listen to part of The Sidebar Cantina, the podcast where we talk about Star Wars, pop culture, fucking Christmas commercials, or whatever the fuck we feel like talking about.

I'm Mr. Jason Roskam with me here each and every single week. The Darth Vader to my Palpatine. Oh, hold on. Yeah, the Spock to my Kirk or Kirk to my Spock? I don't know. Yeah, you're more Spock-like.

Dave Martin (0:47)

Yeah, I'm definitely more Spock-like.

Jason Roskam (0:50)

The Spock to my Kirk. Dave Martin. Hello, Dave.

Dave Martin (0:53)

Hello, Jason.

Jason Roskam (0:53)

How are you?

Dave Martin (0:54)

I'm weirded out because it's going to be a weird episode.

Not talking about Star Wars. No. Talking about the other Star Universe.

Jason Roskam (1:05)

Yeah, franchise.

Dave Martin (1:06)

Yeah.

Jason Roskam (1:07)

Yeah. We're crossing the streams this week.

Dave Martin (1:09)

Yeah.

Jason Roskam (1:11)

There's a couple of reasons why, which we'll get into. But yeah, we're doing Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home.

Dave Martin (1:19)

Yeah, which is 40

Jason Roskam (1:22)

Yeah. It's going to be 40 in like a week and a half. Yeah.

Dave Martin (1:25)

So Sidebar, I sent the text out, the warning text to everyone and be like, hey, the podcast went live just in case. So people know, can't complain. Like, oh, I didn't realize it was, yeah.

Jason Roskam (1:46)

Because they still, oh, sorry.

Dave Martin (1:50)

I need that dump button.

Jason Roskam (1:51)

Because they still need to be reminded, I guess.

Dave Martin (1:54)

Yes. It's only been fucking decade.

Jason Roskam (1:57)

Yeah. Like literally, we were just talking about that in the kitchen a couple hours ago, how we're coming up on 10 years.

Dave Martin (2:03)

Yeah.

Jason Roskam (2:04)

That's insane.

Dave Martin (2:05)

Yep. So, yeah. So 40 years ago, a Star Trek movie comes out that we most likely, it was probably most likely the first one that we really saw.

Jason Roskam (2:19)

Yeah. I can tell you for sure it was for me, the one I saw start to finish the first one. But we'll get into that when we get to the movie.

But in the meantime, let's, well, I guess we can take care of a little business because I know we don't have any notes for you this Eve.

Dave Martin (2:37)

Yeah. Let's take care of a little business.

Jason Roskam (2:39)

Yeah. So why don't we take care of just a little.

The laughing makes me cough more. Are you done? Is it just every time I talk now? My penis is so smooth. Wow. Wow. My penis is so smooth.

Dave Martin (2:59)

Kid.

Jason Roskam (3:00)

Kid.

Dave Martin (3:01)

My penis is so smooth. It's a very sensitive button. I don't know what's happening.

Jason Roskam (3:08)

Can I talk about Patreon a little bit?

Dave Martin (3:10)

Dave Martin (3:50)

You know, not for nothing, but one of the guys I follow for aviation-related podcasts, he just retired as an airline first officer, right?

Jason Roskam (4:04)

Okay.

Dave Martin (4:05)

Flying to 777 And I think he retired from the military also, so he's kind of like double banging in there.

Jason Roskam (4:14)

Yeah. Ladies.

Dave Martin (4:17)

Yeah. So he's not hurting, but he also like he said that his ability to retire was based a lot on his Patreon.

Jason Roskam (4:27)

Really?

Dave Martin (4:28)

Yeah. Huh. Yeah.

Jason Roskam (4:30)

Well, I don't think we're to that level.

Dave Martin (4:32)

No, we're not. And I'm not putting it out there, but if we did put it out there, it'd be interesting.

Jason Roskam (4:40)

We'd have to do so much more.

Dave Martin (4:41)

We'd have to do reaction videos and we'd have to actually do marketing.

Jason Roskam (4:47)

Yeah.

Dave Martin (4:47)

But one of the things for him, it was he completely avoided the YouTube monetizing part of it because he didn't want to be restricted because he was worried that if there was an aircraft mishap, he wanted to be able to tell, okay, this is exactly what happened without YouTube restricting the video or taking it down. So he's not worried about monetization through YouTube. So people support him for Patreon so he can still put out content.
