Ep.2.28: "A Taste of Curry" with Dan Curry
Explicit content warning
10/06/23 • 90 min
Season 2, episode 28 is here. Dominic, Connor, Erica, and Mark have an awesome conversation with 7 time Emmy Award winning visual effects (and knife fighting) master DAN CURRY. Dan is so great, he brought a specific Klingon’s Bat’leth... and other weapons... and an amazing perspective on life and work and the pursuit of wisdom... and the lethality of paper.
We discuss Dan's upbringing, immersing oneself in another culture, the benefits of learning and thinking in other languages, inventing the Bat'leth, inventing Worf's other weapons, making waterfalls for $200, the importance of inner strength, the fact that nobody can take your integrity nor your knowledge, and much more. Erica gets some fan questions in, we play a round of Star Trek Trivia, and we subject Dan to being "Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” If you like brilliant people, this is a fun one. So grab your mimosa and get ready for some laughs.

Ep.2.29: "There's Something About Harry" with Garrett Wang
It's season 2, episode 29. Perpetual ensign and co-host of The Delta Flyers, Garrett Wang joins us today! Dominic, Connor, and Mark are ALSO joined by the talented Bonnie Gordon, who sits in for our Erica LaRose in this awesome conversation with "The G-Man."
A reminder: As of the release of this episode the WGA & SAGAFTRA Strike is in full swing - while our show is not effected by the strike, for a myriad of reasons - we stand in solidarity with the ongoing strike and its aims. We try hard to avoid topics of discussion that would breach that unity. This conversation is limited to discussion about our guest's life, career, etc. and does not promote any current or past works banned by the strike. We hope to have Garrett back for a round 2 once the strike has been resolved.
ALSO: THE DELTA FLYERS IS AWESOME (link below) and we are hoping to have a Delta Flyers / Shuttlepod Show crossover soon. https://www.thedeltaflyers.org
