Fear Not, inspired to talk about our collective rage, New Issues Program Co-host (someone have I’ve wanted to get on a show for a while) Sam or Opie as some of you might know him, and i turn on the crappy laptop mic and let it roll. So Sorry about the quality but this rage was too raw not to put out there! Again *Warning not the best Audio this week*

So take a listen to a low audio quality- high fun quality Issues Program this week and the last episode of this years Star Trek Month.

The Issues Program Episode 12: Star Trek Month-2 Nerds Rage and Some Drunk Anime Ranting!

ps. I also included a few clips of some recorded notes made for my news story about Anime Boston. You can hear me start to get drunk and silly and occasionally hear King Baby Duck and JCR poking in. I was not going to put this out but it makes me giggle!

Again sorry for the quality, but sometimes you just need to put the rawness out there!

Hope you enjoy this weeks show The Issues Program Episode 11: Star Trek Month-Spoiler Movie Podcast With Stephnez

We go over Gadi and Phil’s history with Trek and of course they gets taking in a lot of different directions. But we basically cover the all the Tv Shows, Films from TOS&TNG,JJ Trek and the future.

Take a listen to The Issues Program Episode 10: Star Trek Month- My Gadi and Me

This film has got a great deal of pre-hype and early fanfare claiming that this will be the movie JJ. really gets to stretch his wings and put his stamp on the series. This is all well and good, but too much hype can be very troubling.

There is nothing in the world that can hinder the success of the film more than over hype. The 2009 film was in a great position with people writing off the franchise after the lack of success of Enterprise and Nemesis. So it was in the perfect opportunity to surprise people with some great action and humor by basically making Trek fun again.

But Into Darkness is almost universally being praised before people have even seen it. Folks that are only fans of the superhero phenomenon are talking about how good this movie could be and it’s on many best of 2013 lists already. These kind of over-exceptions have never been good in the past.

Films like Indiana Jones 4, Dark Knight Rises and even the Flintstones have all faced crazy over hyped audiences that were just let down. Having expectations set too high going into a film hinders ones ability to truly judge the work objectively. Say someone tells you this person is crazy beautiful, perfect, the greatest ever or the same thing about a Video Game, show, or even a song. That game, woman or whatever better be like Usual Suspects good to live up to the build up.

Sometimes this over hype can work. The Avengers is a great example of using that hype to feed the beast and that turned out great. It’s hard to curb that hype when something is that exciting but we as film goes need to try to go into movies with as little exceptions as possible. This will encourage film makers to take chances and not feel they have to hit certain notes that people are expecting.

Personal, going into Star Trek Into Darkness I’m expecting to hate it. I personal always have really low expectations so I can be pleased not disappointed. But, hey I do have issues.
