  • Summary

  • Join film critic Lucas Hardwick and MGO host Alex Greenwood for a movie watchalong episode featuring the sub-cult classic, FREE ENTERPRISE, starring William Shatner. Follow amateur filmmakers and sci-fi geeks Mark (Eric McCormack) and Robert (Rafer Weigel)—based on future Inglorious Treksperts Mark Altman and Robert Meyer Burnett—as they navigate adulthood through "Star Trek" and other pop culture references. When they meet their idol, William Shatner, they find him to be far from the all-knowing, king-of-cool mentor they seek. On the movie's 25th anniversary, we explore the Saturn Award-winning film’s themes, including the connection between fandom and adult responsibilities, Shatner's career renaissance sparked in large part by the film, surviving a quarter-life crisis, geek culture, the camaraderie and dynamics of friendships, how SWINGERS informed the vibe of this film, and the sheer determination and grit of the filmmakers who actually made a movie with their idol, who says to call him “Bill.” Risk is our business as we join a fun and insightful discussion with the guys. So gather your beverage and snacks, fire up your DVD player, and prepare to live long and party! Buy the film! ⁠Become a subscriber⁠ for ad-free shows, subscriber-only content, giveaways, and more!
