This week Charles and Aaron look back at Batch Thirteen and talk about the evolution of “boat action” on screen. Who is in charge, how do they feel watching the young boys and men die under their command, and why does Master and Commander feel like a step backwards (in spite of the fact that we LOVE the movie)? It’s all here.

This week Charles and Aaron enlist with Kirk and Co. and take to the stars. We talk more about leadership as well as delving into re-militarizing a non-military brand, the struggle to liberate the science fiction imaginary, and the music of James Horner.

Chales and Aaron are back on the barky, this time with Gregory Peck pacing the quarter deck and a quarter of a million dollars in miniatures getting blown to smithereens. How do you produce sound after an era of silent films? How do you import Gregory Peck without violating British economic policy? How do you say "Horatio Hornblower" and keep a straight face? We don't have all the answers, but we DO have GREGORY PECK.
