Happy Frakkin Friday folks, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Did you miss us? We missed you. Its been a long, tiring few months of side hustling Christmas Light installations all over Los Angeles (actually, as this airs I'll be busy taking them all down!) just to keep the lights on in this hellscape. So, to ease you back into it, we decided to revisit the Battlestar Galactica: Miniseries in a sort of retrospective. Hope you enjoy, we'll be kicking off Season 3 in a couple weeks and its back to business as usual.
So Say We All
I know the Ultimate Pen isnt a thing, just frakkin laugh.
Thank you for joining us on this journey for the past two seasons! Its a milestone... wish I could say the same thing about Firefly. Gorrammit, now I've upset myself.
Anyway, we'll be taking a brief hiatus in between seasons... gotta give Frak This Podcast a chance to catch up :)
Happy Frakkin Finale Friday Folks... Nuff said!
Happy Frakkin Friday, Cousin Sagi, its an absolute pleasure to have you listening all the way from Israel. I don't even think my own family listens and they're mostly in the same state. Meh... what does distance really matter on the internet.
This week, we deviate heavily from the Colonial fleet and check in with the Cylons on Occupied Capria. I feel a change in the winds, says I.
Looking ahead, in the last ten minutes, Chester and I tangent into the recent assassination that took place in Ohio. If that's not your cup of tea, skip on to the end. For a moment, I considered cutting that clip, but decided against it. We're not here to make content that everyone agrees with, we're here to talk about Battlestar Galactica, art, history, and how art imitates and influences life.
Enjoy
This week Battlestage Theatrica gets Chronological! yes, technically it was released as the first episode of season 4... but I saw it in between seasons 2 and 3, so thats pretty much how we're going to do it. Do i hear the spoilers now that I know the ending? Yes. Will you know if you haven't seen it? Probably. Just enjoy it!
The underdog podcast Battlestage Theatrica got Ronald D. Moore to be their guest!?!?!
No... no not yet. But Steve did find Ron's Podcast about this episode, The Captain's Hand, to be pretty frakkin funny so he inserted a few clips. Don't sue us Ron, we have no money.
Seriously, Shut up Ellen
this week we talk beers and scotches, Beast Wars, and of course... Battlestar Galactica! And all the reasons Ellen needs to shut up.
"Be Pre-PAAAAAAAIRED!" for another episode of Battlestage Theatrica where Steve takes Chester on his first journey through 2004's reimagined Battlestar Galactica after he's watched it several dozen times.
This week the boys are drinking beer out of the Galactica Top Gun Stein itself and reveling in their personal victories.
Speaking of personal victories, this Sunday I'll be setting up another booth at an artisan market Wallflowr Market LA, at All Season Brewing in downtown Los Angeles. Once a Firestone Tire shop, it has been converted into a craft brewery and a skeeball joint. Come on out Sunday Aug 31 from 12 to 5 and se what all the fuss is about.
Obviously we couldn't decide between a Leelock Holmes title or a Law and Order: BSG title... so we did both.
Happy Frakkin Friday folks, as you'll soon hear, we had to watch Black Market twice. Somehow, our original recording was lost to the ether; maybe a cylon virus wiped it out? Either way, we had to watch the most downtrodden episode twice, its usually one I skip on a rewatch, and you know what.... I had a great frakkin time! So I hope you do to. The proof is in the pudding, given its our longest episode to date because we were having too much damn fun!
Happy Frakkin Friday Folks! Come one, come all, get Dr. Gaius Baltar's Cure For Cancer! But wait, there's more... buy two cures and get the second one free!
All joking aside, FRAK CANCER! Personally, I've lost serval family members and a few friends to cancer in the past few years alone, and some friends are still battling through it! So FRAK CANCER! If the Family Guy Conspiracy theory is true that the rich and powerful are sitting on stockpiles of cancer cure... I might lose it.
Hopefully that wasn't too frakkin dark, but hey, the show is pretty frakkin dark, yet we still enjoy it and enjoy revisiting it.
Thanks for listening
Frak Cancer
Apparently, Chester shouts at people driving a Jeep Rubicon in Italian whenever he sees one. Somehow I don't think that will work out as advertising for Battlestage Theatrica, the podcast that revisits Battlestar Galactica 04.
So Stay Tuned We All
If you're not tired of my voice after an hour, tune into Open Pike Night and here me call in regularly about Star Trek Strange New Worlds... the hosts and other callers also have cool things to say... but we all know why you're listening.
Sorry I'm late to this Frakkin Friday, fine folks, I broke a finger this week and I'm a little delayed. Painkillers won't stop me from publishing my show, juts delay it a while... and make it harder to type.
A very Happy Frakkin Friday to you all! Well, its here! The start to probably my favorite arc of Season 2 (and a front runner for favorite arc of the series)... Pegasus has arrived! No spoilers, just start listening, is too awesome!
Wallflower Market this weekend at All Season Brewing
(800 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles) featuring my two side hustles, SineCera and Tee-Cycling, will have a booth! 10% of all our profits are donated to CHIRLA, The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, chirla.org
Flight of the Phoenix... not Flight of the Blackbird... even though The Blackbird takes flight. All the pieces are there.
That's Showbiz! Happy Frakkin Friday folks, and welcome to Battlestage Theatrica. This week we're tackling The Office... No, Access... NO! Final Cut! That's it! Yeah, its one of those, which are usually pretty bad... but we like this one! Enjoy
CHIRLA https://www.chirla.org/
This has nothing to do with the episode, but having just celebrated the Fourth of July here in the States... Isn't it ironic that the majority of US Citizens today, who are advocating for the deportation of immigrants of a certain origin, get together and celebrate the victories and sacrifices of an army comprised mostly of immigrants who won their freedom from an oppressive regime and over taxation?
Weird.
Well, hopefully we can "re-unite the fleet" some day, but right now, as proud as I am to be an American and a Veteran, I think we're losing sight of what that means.
Yeah I said it... Frak ICE! Come and get me. A few years ago those folks were all anti mask... now they're marching into my neighborhood, masked up, and kidnapping people without warrants.
What does that have to do with this episode of Battlestar Galactica? It's literally called Home, and my home is under duress, and I'm pissed.
Now what can I do about it? Not much, I deliver clean energy by day and artwork by night. Hopefully together they can amount to something. If art is your idea of helping out, come out to the Wallflower Market on Saturday, June 28th, 2025, at 131 N Artsakh Ave. 10% of all proceeds from each artist is donated to CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights). Honestly fraking weird to me that in 2025 immigrants need a special subsection of humane rights... The whole point is we all have them...this shouldn't have to exist... but it does, so please come out and support it and local art.
Yeah... you heard me. This week we get into an episode called The Farm, where Starbuck is shot in the street, abducted from her loved ones who have no idea what happened to her or if she's even alive, taken to an unknown holding facility, and held without her consent because reasons. Oh, I suppose from the Cylon point of view, she's a criminal who invaded their home illegally even though they now occupy it by means of genocide.
Wow! Good thing this is fiction, right? Frakking hell.
Anyway, and LA listeners that would like to come out and meet us, I'll have a booth for my art and woodworking via ART IN THE ALLEY on Sunday, June 22nd at Enegren Brewing. 444 Zachary St # 120, Moorpark, CA 93021 enegrenbrewing.com and on June 28th I'll have another booth with the Wallflower Market in Glendale. 10% of all vendor profits from that market go to charity, specifically those effected by ICE.
Happy Frakkin Friday Folks! Are you ready to get your frak on? Because while LA is burning through its own Resistance (Seriously, Frak ICE, deplorable sons of whores), Battlestar Galactica had its own Resistance on multiple fronts. From fighting and frakking toasters, to resisting martial law (Good gods, how is it this episode came out during this time? we recorded this in February! There's no intentional correlation! what the ever loving frak?!?!)
**sigh** this week on Battlestage Theatrica, I continue walking Chester through the show I should have made him watch when we were in our formative years. Its okay, we're still young! Though after covid, the strikes, the fires, and now The Bell Riots (yeah, I frakking said it!!) I really am starting too feel old. I shouldn't feel this old!
That's right folks, this Frakkin Friday Chester learns that Starbuck and Bo Katan are in fact played by the same actress, Katte Sackhoff, who ironically is not even this fine episode of television. Unlike Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars is something Chester watched all on his own! So he should have known better.... send your hate mail to battlestagetheatrica@gmail.com to express your profound disappointment in him!
