Can a film franchise transcend its medium to become a cornerstone of the mythology of ancient aliens? Join us as we unpack the extraordinary cultural impact of Star Wars since its inception in 1977. With insights from Joe Landry, Laurie Oldford, and special guest, Larry Oldford. We explore how Star Wars has not only revolutionized cinematic experiences but could also serve as a future oral tradition in a post-apocalyptic world. We reflect on its transformative influence on audiences and its potential to be perceived as historical lore by future generations.

Controversies have been part and parcel of Star Wars adaptations, and we tackle these head-on, from the introduction of midichlorians of the Force to Disney's recent direction with the franchise. We discuss how these decisions have shifted the narrative, sometimes alienating long-time fans. The debate extends to whether Disney's focus on contemporary ideologies over traditional storytelling has impacted the essence of the saga. Despite differing opinions, our shared love for the franchise remains evident, and we invite our listeners to form their own views and join us for future episodes filled with engaging discussions.

Can humanity triumph over a hidden Reptilian menace? Uncover the thrilling narrative of the 1980s sci-fi series V as we dissect its cultural significance and mythological depth. From its inception as an innovative miniseries to its transformation into a beloved regular series and a short-lived reboot, V has captivated audiences with its gripping tale of human resistance against shape-shifting alien visitors. Join us as we explore the profound themes of deception and struggle, the show's pioneering special effects, and the creative genius of Kenneth Johnson. Dive deep into the heart of V where the letter symbolizes victory—a testament to human resilience against extraterrestrial oppression.

But that's just the beginning. This episode also navigates the eerie parallels between fictional alien conspiracies and our real-world anxieties. Reflecting on chilling portrayals from V and The Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man," we question what dangers await us from advanced civilizations. We venture into the controversial theories of David Icke and the concept of an alien-controlled society, drawing uncanny resemblances to the world of V. Continuing with an engaging and thought-provoking discussion, we delve into the possibility of our government using very sophisticated espionage masks to create maximum deception. Don't miss this captivating exploration of science fiction and its unnerving connection to what might actually be reality.

For this show, we venture into the fascinating intersection of mythology and science fiction through the lens of Battlestar Galactica. From the original 1970s series to the 2000s reboot, we uncover how certain pagan and celestial references are ingeniously woven into the storyline with names like Pegasus, Commander Adama, and Lieutenant Athena aren't just characters—they're symbols of a grander narrative that tie the drama into the premises of the ancient astronaut theory.

We also focus on Caprica, the prequel series that adds further depth to this rich universe and also on how the human survivors of a millennia-long war with the Cylons seek out the elusive 13th Colony, which is here on planet Earth. You'll find intriguing connections to the Hebrew Bible's creation story and the reptilian attributes of the Cylons. Mormon cosmology is also significant, particularly the parallels between planet names of Kolob and Kobol, showcasing creator Glenn Larson's intent to infuse the narrative with elements of Mormonism.

As we round out our discussion, the thematic richness comes to light with love, betrayal, vengeance, and theology and forms a complex web that mirrors real-world advancements in AI. We delve into the series' depiction of the android robot Cylons integrating into their society, drawing parallels to actual automation, and show how there are religious undertones to it, such as creation and resurrection. The story reminds us of the poignancy to what the late astrophysicist Carl Sagan had once said about us being made of "star stuff" and helps us ponder the possibility of our origins from the out there in the cosmos.
