Small Screen Star Trek • Take Ten

Kyle is joined by podcast impresario and professional talker Pete Wright for a ten-slot love letter to one of the last movie stars who was equal parts matinee idol, quirky character actor, and chaotic neutral energy bomb: it’s Val Kilmer. No, this is not a definitive ranking of Val Kilmer performances (because, come on, that would be impossible and also wrong), but rather the moments that defined Val for them.They cover everything from the obvious (Tombstone, The Doors) to the gloriously oddball (Top Secret, The Saint), to the just-barely-legal cinematic hallucinations (The Island of Dr. Moreau—which is to movies what “raw chicken sushi” is to food). Along the way, you’ll get tales of tuberculosis towns, awkward horse stories, and a beefy defense of “Real Genius” as the Rosetta Stone of the “Hot Smart Guy With a Joke” archetype.Also: Val plays Elvis in True Romance—but you never get a full view of his face. That’s how cool he was. He didn’t even need a face. He could haunt your cinematic soul with a voice and some shadows. WHO ELSE CAN DO THAT?So, pour yourself a drink, set your VHS copy of Willow to rewind, and settle in for a warm and weird walk through the career of a man whose IMDb is overflowing with range and at least one rogue documentary. And yes, they skip Top Gun. Why? Because Iceman was right. That’s why.Links & NotesSupport the show and get member perks: trustory.fm/joinWatch “Val,” the heartbreakingly good documentary: Amazon Prime Video Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel’s family of film podcasts by becoming a member.

Welcome back to Behind the Sites, a long-overdue return to one of our favorite series here at The Next Reel. This series celebrates the technology behind the entertainment industry... specifically, the sites and apps we use to learn about the movies and shows of which we call ourselves fans.Casey Liss is a podcaster, developer, and writer from Richmond, Virginia. However, these days, it might be hard to know in which order to put those things. He's one-third of the Accidental Tech Podcast, a must-listen for principled nerds, and half of Analog(ue) on Relay FM. But he's here today to talk about his latest app, Callsheet, an entertainment industry search experience that might just earn a prized spot on the home screen of your phone.Along the way, Casey talks about the challenges that come with attempting to peel back the features of an existing monolith in order to create an app that is fast, yet still seemingly feature-complete. We talk about what goes into working on an app that is dependent on a third-party API in an era that has rendered API a dirty, profit-seeking word. Oh, and we talk about Plex. For members, we talk a lot about Plex.Links & NotesCallsheetCallsheet on the App StoreThe Movie DatabaseTheMovieDB APICasey did a guest spot on Mac Power Users with David Sparks and Stephen Hackett and, if you're as intrigued by a complex Plex set-up as I am, check out this episode and let's get ripping!

But there’s no reason to let the subscription languish waiting for the brand new AAA titles. Rob and Kyle share their favorites to help you get the most out of your HBOMax-ertainment dollar while you wait for Gal Gadot and Chris Pine to wrap you in a magic lasso.
