Well, hello everyone, and welcome to episode 225 of Multiverse Tonight.
00:00:55.593 --> 00:01:03.765
I am, of course, your host, thomas Townley, and well, as you see, behind me there's a little bit more that's been done.
00:01:03.765 --> 00:01:04.846
Well, as you see, behind me there's a little bit more.
00:01:04.865 --> 00:01:05.186
that's been done.
00:01:05.186 --> 00:01:12.953
I've basically put up all my media and haven't really decorated yet, but it's getting there.
00:01:12.953 --> 00:01:16.856
It's a nice house I was going to say.
00:01:16.856 --> 00:01:28.954
Other than that I really don't have a lot of personal news up at the front, so let's get on with the Star Trek news at the front.
00:01:28.954 --> 00:01:31.200
So let's get on with the Star Trek news In Star Trek news.
00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:35.132
In the lush rainforest of Madagascar, scientists have uncovered seven previously unknown tree frog species.
00:01:35.132 --> 00:01:42.790
These compact amphibians produce unusually high-pitched whistling sounds reminiscent of Star Trek sound effects such as the bosun's whistle.
00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:52.548
The new species, named after seven iconic captains from the science fiction franchise, were detailed in a study published on October 15th in the Journal of Vertebrae Zoology.
00:01:52.548 --> 00:02:03.486
These newly discovered species belong to the genus Bubus Bubus communicate with one earth through their distinctive whistling sounds.
00:02:03.486 --> 00:02:10.491
When researchers first heard the calls, they were immediately reminded of the sound effects prevalent throughout the Star Wars Star Trek series.
00:02:10.491 --> 00:02:17.371
Now one of the species, bofis ciscoe, was named after Captain Benjamin Sisko from Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
00:02:17.371 --> 00:02:27.830
These frogs of the worldly calls are known as advertisement calls, a form of self-promotion that researchers believe may communicate information about a male frog's suitability as a potential mate to females.
00:02:27.830 --> 00:02:34.883
This group resides along fast-flowing streams in Madagascar's mostly mountainous areas, a noisy environment.
00:02:34.883 --> 00:02:37.569
That may be why the frogs emit such high-pitched calls.
00:02:37.569 --> 00:02:38.412
Quote.
00:02:38.412 --> 00:02:47.266
That's why we named the frogs after Kirk, picard, sisko, janeway, archer, burnham and Picard, seven of the most iconic captains from the sci-fi series.
00:02:47.266 --> 00:02:47.668
Remarked.
00:02:47.668 --> 00:02:57.455
Michael Vences, a study co-author and evolutionary biologist, and Tenshi Universitat, brunswag in Germany, brunswag.
00:02:57.455 --> 00:03:20.266
The names Bofus, kirke, bofus, Bricardi, bofus, siskoe, bofus, janeway, bofus, archie, bofus, pikey.
00:03:20.287 --> 00:03:25.062
While a few species can be found in tourist accessible areas, discovering several of these species required significant expeditions to promote forest fragments and Mountain Peaks.
00:03:25.062 --> 00:03:34.086
Explained, according to Michael D Schertz, a study co-author and curator of the National History Museum of Denmark at the University of Copenhagen.
00:03:34.086 --> 00:03:34.467
Quote.
00:03:34.467 --> 00:03:41.137
This has a genuine sense of scientific discovery and exploration, which you believe is in the spirit of Star Trek.
00:03:41.137 --> 00:03:41.639
Unquote.
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.871
The frog's advertisement calls serve as a form of self-promotion.
00:03:45.871 --> 00:03:56.341
Potentially, andolo Rutsgarden, a study co-author and herpetologist at the University of DIsta in Madagascar, highlighted that Madagascar's rainforests have much more to offer.
00:03:56.341 --> 00:04:02.682
Numerous species remain undescribed, particularly regarding frogs, emphasizing the need for further exploration.
00:04:02.682 --> 00:04:07.890
The research team hopes that these discoveries will contribute to heightened conservation efforts in Madagascar.
00:04:07.890 --> 00:04:14.588
These frog species often reside in close proximity to one another, but occupy distinct microhabits and altitudes.
00:04:14.588 --> 00:04:20.492
The differentiation makes them particularly susceptible to environmental and climatological changes.

00:19:14.651 --> 00:19:24.769
The live-action take on Lilo and Stitch has been in the works for several years now and was initially expected to premiere exclusively on Disney+ before moving to a theatrical release.
00:19:24.769 --> 00:19:28.669
And now for some great news.
00:19:28.669 --> 00:19:34.431
I love this film and I'm glad to see it's finally back in the proper hands.
00:19:35.881 --> 00:19:39.571
As the controversial Kevin Smith movie celebrates its 25th anniversary.
00:19:39.571 --> 00:19:41.847
Dogma is getting a re-release.
00:19:41.847 --> 00:20:01.473
The Views Universe director revealed that his 1999 religious satire is returning to theaters and getting a new home after another company purchased the distribution rights away from Mayor Max Quote, the movie's been bought away from the guy that had it for years and whatnot he said on the hashtag show the company that bought it.
00:20:01.473 --> 00:20:03.260
We met with them a couple of months ago.
00:20:03.260 --> 00:20:08.821
They were like would you be interested in re-releasing it, touring it like you did with your movies?
00:20:08.821 --> 00:20:10.507
I said 100.
00:20:10.507 --> 00:20:11.329
Are you kidding me?
00:20:11.329 --> 00:20:16.864
Touring a movie that I know people like and is sentimental and nostalgic will clean up Unquote.
00:20:16.864 --> 00:20:19.287
Smith went on right.
00:20:19.287 --> 00:20:22.791
Quote right now, 2024 is our 25th anniversary this year.
00:20:22.791 --> 00:20:24.394
November is when we came out.
00:20:24.394 --> 00:20:34.420
So I think 2025, it looks like, looks like is when the movement's going to happen there, back at home video, then back in theaters and we'll I'll tour it and stuff like that.
00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:40.521
Unquote Also be the first time the movie has been released on streaming since its 1999 premiere.
00:20:40.521 --> 00:20:46.663
While hard copies of the title remain a rarity, I have a couple of those.
00:20:46.663 --> 00:21:03.429
I think Dogma stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as Barnaby and Loki, two fallen angels who make their way to New Jersey because of a loophole that will get them back into heaven, although now getting back into heaven will mean unmaking the universe.
00:21:03.429 --> 00:21:15.352
The film also stars Linda Florentino, thelma Hayek, alan Rickman, chris Rock, jason Lee and Alanis Morissette, as well as Jason Mewes and Smith as Jay and Silent Bob.
00:21:15.352 --> 00:21:28.796
It was the fourth installment in Smith's View of the Universe movies, which also includes Clerks, mallrats, Chasing Amy, jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and now Clerks 2, and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Clerks 3.
00:21:28.796 --> 00:21:37.939
Smith noted that the new Dogma deal could potentially lead to sequels, tv versions, in terms of extending the story, something we could never do before.
00:21:37.939 --> 00:21:39.439
So exciting, man.
00:21:39.439 --> 00:21:46.898
All those people who worked on it are still viable.
00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:53.028
And finally, tonight the development of a Big Bang Theory spinoff series on Max at Max is underway, with the first three cast members announced.
00:21:53.028 --> 00:21:59.744
Brian Posain, lauren Lapikas and Kevin Sussman will reprise the roles from the original series in the potential spinoff.
00:21:59.744 --> 00:22:07.451
Plot details are, of course, confidential, but the show remains in development and has not yet received the go-ahead to become a full series.
00:22:07.451 --> 00:22:11.788
Posain, sussman and Lapkus are currently under talent holding deals.
00:22:11.788 --> 00:22:18.932
Chuck Lorre, the co-creator of the Big Bang Theory, is the executive producer behind the new project through his production company, chuck Lorre Productions.
00:22:19.579 --> 00:22:28.226
Sussman portrayed Stuart Bloom, the comic book store owner, and made his debut in the second season, eventually becoming a series regular, appearing in over 80 episodes.
00:22:28.226 --> 00:22:45.772
Bozane played Bert Kibler, the geologist at Caltech who had a crush on Amy, appearing in 15 episodes from season six onwards, and Lapkus took on the role of Denise, the assistant manager of Stewart's comic book store and Stewart's eventual love interest, appearing in 8 episodes through seasons 11 and 12.
00:22:45.772 --> 00:22:56.366
This potential spinoff, if it will materialize, would be the fourth series in the Big Bang Theory cinematic universe.
00:22:56.366 --> 00:22:57.614
The original show ran successfully for 12 seasons on CBS.
00:22:57.614 --> 00:23:12.106
Its prequel, young Sheldon, wrapped up its seventh season run in this past May and the spinoff of Young Sheldon, george and Mandy's First Marriage, just premiered, and with that we'll end our show for today.
00:23:13.244 --> 00:23:34.826
