Beam Me Outta Here! - William Shatner’s 70s Detour

Between the end of the original Star Trek in 1969 and his cinematic return as Captain Kirk in 1979, William Shatner roamed some strange territory. In this episode, George and Ryan dive headfirst into Shatner’s “wilderness years,” exploring four offbeat, often outrageous films: the carnal chaos of Big Bad Mama, the sleazy psycho-thriller Impulse, the satanic sludgefest The Devil’s Rain, and the eco-horror cult favorite Kingdom of the Spiders. Along the way, they chart the peaks and valleys of Shatner’s post-Trek hustle, revel in his fearless acting choices, and appreciate the weird, wonderful resilience of a man who would one day boldly go back to the bridge of the Enterprise.
