“Jetrel” Charlynn and Matt of The Delta Quadrant sit in for Mike and Max in a very special episode of Commentary Track Star Babies. Part 2 of 2.

A scientific team in the Arctic discovers two mysterious cyborgs, similar to those described by Zefram Cochrane. When they assimilate the scientists and move into space, Enterprise is called upon to find the cybernetic beings and stop them.

“Shades of Grey” Mike is joined by Josh and Justin of the Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy to discuss the pros and cons of clip shows.

From Delta Quadrant:

Commander Riker fights for his life in sick-bay after he is infected by an alien parasite while on an away-mission. Dr. Pulaski soon discovers that the only way to save Riker’s life is to force his mind to relive painful memories. (Season finale)

Josh is once again accompanied by his brother, Justin – co host of The Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy – and Mike from Commentary Track Stars for the special episode commentary on the TNG episode Shaes of Gray.

So get out your DVD or stream it through Netflix if you’d like to watch it with us. To sync up just get your counter clock to all zeros and listen for the que to start.

Delta Quadrant

It might be a little difficult to believe but the film Drive Me Crazy was actually based on a book called How I Created My Perfect Prom Date by Todd Strasser. Todd Strasser is a very prolific writer in the realm of Middle Grade and Young Adult novels. How I Created My Perfect Prom Date is the 2nd part in what is know as the Time Zone High Trilogy.

Drive Me Crazy, although modestly successful financially as well as critically, holds a special place in one of the hearts of the Soulless Minions. It may not be perfect or incredibly deep but it does succeed in passing up some of the more cliched and formulaic teen films. It’s got heart.

Most of the conversation involves the comparisons between the novel and film. Surprisingly there are some significant differences that I think might surprise some of you. My two guests, John of Sofa Dogs and J.D. of The Delta Quadrant and General Geekery, join me as I fill them in on the similarities and changes in the adaption. But the conversation also includes personal recollections on the film itself.

Is it all nostalgia or does the movie hold up? You’ll have to listen to find out.

From Sofa Dogs:

Observers: John Pavlich, Josh Bradley, Joe “J.D.” Donesi

Record Date: February 23, 2012, 09:03 PM

Plot Summary: A trend-conscious girl hires her anti-social next-door neighbor to be her new boyfriend, in an effort to reclaim her status in their school and to help him win back his ex-girlfriend.

Note: This was recorded months ago and numerous technical difficulties made it such a nightmare to edit, I wasn’t going to bother posting it, originally. Thankfully, Josh had done such a splendid job mixing it himself, I finally decided to put it up here for you all to enjoy. My co-hosts (Josh and J.D.) join me in discussing high school politics, teen social class structures and how the film compares to the book it’s based on. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD.
