On this third installment of Febwhaleary we take a look at perhaps the largest acrobats in the sea: the humpback whale. Known for their extraordinary feats of agility, as well as a complex series of songs that they sing to one another, the humpbacks were truly one of the most graceful creatures ever to inhabit the oceans. Unfortunately, the humpbacks would be hunted to extinction in the early 21st century…or so we thought. To understand the fate of the humpbacks, one must look not into the future…but into the past. The year 1986; using a stolen Klingon bird of prey, a group of disgraced Starfleet officers from the 23rd century would travel backwards through time to save, not only the humpbacks, but indeed all of humanity from extinction. The following is a dramatization of those events that we like to call Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we lay down a series of colorful metaphors are fellow cinephiles and life long members of the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito, Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the Enterprise crew’s laissez faire attitude towards time travel; we analyze where the alien space probe falls on the Bristol Stool Scale; and finally, we break down the age old fallacy of the odd numbered Trek’s being shit.

And with the whales safely transported to the 23rd century, this leg of our voyage is now over. When Febwhaleary concludes, we’ll be taking a look at one of the rarest whale species on the planet…the Comeback Whale, as we watch Darren Aronofsky’s 2022 Oscar Winner, The Whale.

Captain’s Log: Stardate 4385.3

The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast returns, and it’s with a sense of pride and awe when I say that we have finally, after covering six episodes of the original series, encountered our first…god-being episode. (insert dramatic musical sting)

I have instructed my crew to keep their cool during the old west group-mind fuckery and to remember the words of Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street…”It’s not real! You’re not real! None of this…is real!”. That said, I have issued each crew member in the landing party a hand gun. While it may be considered primitive compared to a phaser, at close range…it can be just as deadly.

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me as we try our best not to break kayfabe on this cheap ass looking old west set are my fellow bridge crew: Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a look at one of the few gems of the less than stellar third season of the original series; the Trek Crew take a page out of The Twilight Zone to help cover up their low budget shortcomings; and finally, Ensign Chekov learns that the only way he’s getting laid on this show is through an old west hallucination from a group of telepathic lizard men.

The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast will return as we go back in time and merge podcast promotions with…Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

In the second installment of Febwhaleary, we leave behind the fun loving world of Free Willy and venture to the cold climate of Newfoundland to witness the dark side of nature. For not all Orcas share the same sense of fun and need for human companionship like Willy, some…can hold a grudge. For Killer Whales the need for vengeance can be just as strong in Orcas as it can with homosapiens, as one fisherman in the 1970’s found out. With rows of razor sharp teeth, designed to tear apart their prey, along with an extensive knowledge of explosives and natural accelerants; one does not wish to be on the bad side of this deadly mammal. For when one fucks around with nature…nature has a way of fucking you back.

This…is Orca.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to serve up a cold plate of vengeance are fellow cinephiles and marine biologists, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a breakdown of one of the most haunting and traumatic scenes we’ve ever witnessed on the show to date; Dino De Laurentiis thumbs his nose at Spielberg as he gives us one ocean hell-beast to rule them all; and finally, we analyze the Final Destination-esque methods that the Killer Whale in Orca uses to obtain his vengeance.

And thus concludes our dive into the vengeful side of the Killer Whale. Febwhaleary will continue next week, as we warp back to the future to save the Humpback Whale species with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. And yes, we promise, there will be whales here!
