Star Trek (2009)

From Jon Madsen’s Movie Commentary Podcast:

Alright, if you’ve been hesitating in your downloading of these silly Star Trek podcasts, you’re in luck! THIS is the one you can probably listen to because THIS is the one where we do a live commentary of the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie from 2009 — and you saw THAT movie and probably really really liked it!

Yes, we realize we already talked about this movie way back in podcast 30, but hey, who’s complaining? We did the work — and you get the reward… unless you hate hearing us talk… which we suppose could be very likely. Then again, you probably wouldn’t have read this far into the podcast description.

Podcast breakdown:

Pretty much the whole time we’re just doing the live DVD commentary of Star Trek (2009).

I like that Iowa is still basically farm country. … Except for that giant canyon in the middle of nowhere … that young Kirk almost fell into. — Jon Madsen and friends,

[Skydiving scene] So, this is a direct homage to Point Break, right? Yeah. I think that’s exactly what this is. — Jon Madsen and friends,

This is the fourth time Kirk’s been beaten up. … He’s like the 23rd century Rocky. … Just let everyone in the universe beat the crap out of him until everyone in the universe gets tired. — Jon Madsen and friends,

Do you think the elevators on these ships [are] like Wonkavators? I think they’re Wonkavators. … What’s the point of having elevators if you can only take it down one floor and then you have to walk across the entire saucer section? — Jon Madsen and friends,
