DRUNK CINEMA 101: "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" Is Up!

 
"Captain's Log, Stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man...where no one has gone before."
-- Captain James T. Kirk, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, Xan and I celebrate Star Trek's 60th anniversary as we watch Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the 1991 science fiction film directed by Nicholas Meyer, featuring William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Captain Spock, DeForest Kelly as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, and Christopher Plummer as General Chang!

This time, Xan and I discuss things like both of us drinking Romulan ale, Xan's trifocals or progressive lenses, The Day After as Gen X trauma, Xan not seeing Star Trek VI before we watch it, Nicholas Meyer's Sherlock Holmes novels, Hook being a major letdown, Peter David's story about Jewel Staite appearing on Space Cases, Xan's offer to watch John Wick if we watch Mannequin, David Warner's other Star Trek roles, Brock Peters in To Kill a Mockingbird, Michael Dorn appearing as Worf's ancestor, Gorkon sounding like someone that should be duking it out with Godzilla, Kirk being racist against Klingons, Gorkon looking like Klingon Abraham Lincoln, the awkward dinner being awkward, Xan feeling cheated out of more David Warner, Kurtwood Smith looking like Pai Mei from Kill Bill, kicking somebody's ass instead of being somebody's bitch, Crewman Dax not being Jadzia Dax from Deep Space Nine, Lt. Valeris being too emotional for a Vulcan, Christopher Plummer quoting way too much Shakespeare, the famous people in the movie being up to no damn good, a lot of new Drunk Mail from Dave Proctor, Christine Peruski and Jesse Jackson, my upcoming story for DC's Naughty List Christmas anthology, our upcoming tribute to Tim Curry, and more!
