A Vaccination Story

Transcript

Tonight! The Voyager Documentary makes bank, The Bad Batch is coming soon and where to put a tribute to RoboCop. All that and more on the SciFi Edition of Multiverse Tonight!

Welcome to Episode 116. I got my second Covid 19 vaccination.

Well we just passed six years since Leonard Nimoy’s passing from COPD. To honor Leonard, his family have announced that they will be sharing never before seen photos as digital trading cards. The cards, from WAX Blockchain, will feature intimate photos of Leonard’s family life and career. The first series of cards will feature 255 unique cards in six different rarities. His daughter Julie said about the release quote “Dad was passionate about photography and he loved technology,” says Julie. “My husband David and I are thrilled to be partnering with WAX Blockchain! It’s absolutely the ‘logical’ place to share some intimate photos chronicling my father’s life and legacy! One of my most treasured photos was taken at his vacation beach home in Malibu, California –shortly before he passed away on February 27 2015- this was the last photo of us taken together. As WAX Blockchain is forever, our hope is that future generations will remember and appreciate him not only as Mr. Spock from Star Trek but also as a loving family man and a wonderful friend who had many passions and interests.” unquote There will be two pack sizes for sale: a 10 pack for 9.99 and a 30 pack for 24.99. They got for sale of March 25th at Noon Eastern Standard Time.

The Star Trek Voyager Documentary has launched a crowdfunding campaign and they were fully funded in about six hours after launch. 455 Studios launched the campaign which was originally going to get going last year for Voyager;s twenty fifth anniversary. . As with any crowdfunding campaign, this one is offering unique rewards to backers. They include:

Star Trek Lower Decks will be coming to Blu-ray this May. THe first season will have a standard and steelbook release. The show will have the first season as well as features like Lower Decktionary which looks at the music, art design, animation and more. There will also be interviews with the cast, deleted and extended scenes and a look at the series Easter Eggs. Season Two is currently in production.

Star Trek Prodigy will now premiere on Paramount Plus instead of being an exclusive for Nickelodeon, the ten episode animated series from Kevin and Dan Hageman will premiere later this year adn than air on Nickelodeon. This is part of Paramount Plus' strategy of having every Star Trek ever as a centerpiece for the streaming service. Paramount Plus programming chief Julie McNamara told Variety quote “It does speak to having a franchise that is unique to Paramount Plus, and we’re very excited about that,” Paramount Plus programming chief Julie McNamara tells Variety. “There is a kind of franchise strategy, which is the notion that if you execute new versions of this really strong IP that you have well, you’re going to drive people across the paywall.” unquote Paramount Plus will lower the current price for CBS All Access, launching in March with a price of $4.99 for the ad supported version, that’s a dollar less than it is currently and 9.99 for the premium commercial free tier. It should be noted that the 4.99 plan won’t come with access to local CBS station, however if that’s something you want to keep, they have assured subscribers that current subscribers will be grandfathered in, so you can keep access to your local CBS station programming.

Kalinda Vaqquez has been tapped by Paramount Pictures to write a Star Trek movie. Vazquez has written on Star Trek Discovery and was a co executive producer on Fear the Walking Dead. The movie will still be produced by JJ Abrams Bad Robot. No timeline for the movie has been given.

Star Wars

Game of Thrones star Indira Varma is joing the cast of Disney plus’ Obi Wan Kenmobi series. The details of Varmas’s characgter are still unknown, much like the plot details, but we do known that Haden Christensen will be back as Darth Vader adn Wean McGregor will of course, be Obi Wan.

Disney is getting closer to opening the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel, the Walt Disney Company has put up a listing for a "Hotel Services Director - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser", the job description reads quote "Disney is searching for a seasoned hotelier with senior leadership hospitality experience on land or at sea to serve as Hotel Services Director for our new Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. As a Hotel Services Director you will lead and implement a unique immersive two-night experience aligned with our Star Wars franchise. A passion for bringing ideas to life, creativity, value a non-traditional work environment, and balance traditional hotel experience with immersive entertainment are all important traits you will need to have to be successful in this role." unquote The Galactic Star cruiser is a special two day and night experience that will allow guest to have an even more experience when visiting Star Wars Galaxy’s edge, people “on board” will look out their windows and see not the park but the ship traveling at hyper space and take part in a multi day story with the crew, other passengers and familiar Star Wars characters. It is supposed to open later this year.

The followup to Star Wars The Clone Wars, Star Wars The Bad Batch has a released date on Disney Plus, The premiere will be on Star Wars Day, this May Fourth, a year after the Clone Wars ended. The series takes place in the intervening years between the prequels and the original trilogy and has Ming Na Wen voicing Fennec Shand. The Bad Batch are an elite group of experimental clones, each possessing a unique special skill, after the Clone Wars, the now band of mercenaries must find their own purpose in the Galaxy.

Stephen Spielbefrg and the Duffer Brothers are teaming up to tackle the work of another Stephen, King, That is. They will be working to bring King’s book The Talisman, which he co wrote with Peter Straub to Netflix. Spielberg apparently fell in love with the book back in 1982, so much so that he bought the screen rights in perpetuity. Now he’s ready to bring it to life with Stranger THings The Duffer Brothers. Talisman tells of a 12-year old boy named Jack Sawyer who sets off on an epic road-trip quest in order to save his dying mother’s life. He is in search of the Talisman, a powerful relic that can not only heal his mother but, as he learns, save the world. Sawyer’s journey criss-crosses two realities: the America we know and its dangerous, fantasy-world twin, The Territories. No word on when it’s expected at Netflix.

Detroit’s giant statue of Robocop has been finished after a decade. The Metro times has a piece on the piece of art, meant to rival Philliadelphia’s Rocky statue. Was pretty much born of a tweet and was one of the first big crowdfunded projects, when crowdfunding was just getting off the ground on the internet. However the statue now has a new problem, where to put it, The original location had to be thrown out and the next proposed location, the Michigan Science Center has been a victim of the pandemic, in a statement they said quote "We are thankful to the Imagination Station team and their partners for including the Michigan Science Center in the RoboCop statue journey," the Michigan Science Center explained. "Working with Imagination Station in 2018, MiSci, a private non-profit museum that receives no city, state or federal operating funding, had planned to install the 11-foot-tall bronze sculpture adjacent to the Center in conjunction with improvements to our grounds. But, given the pandemic's unprecedented pressures, MiSci's resources must now be entirely focused on our core mission of serving Michigan's students and families. The creation of the bronze work, which combines centuries-old metalworking techniques with 21st-century technology, remains an amazing STEM story. As Michigan's STEM hub, MiSci hopes to be able to support Imagination Station in the search for a new and appropriate home for this iconic work." unquote So where will the statue end up is unknown for now, maybe they should get to work on the real thing?

More than 1700 members of the Writers Guild of America East and West have signed a petition in support of unionization efforts at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, those signing include Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, Adam McKay, Sarah Silverman, Alfonso Cuarón, David Simon, Michael Schur, Tony Kushner, Damon Lindelof, WGA West president David A. Goodman and WGA East president Beau Willimon. The facility , which opened last year employs some six thousand workers who are voting on whether to join the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. The guild’s petition states quote “We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.”
