Watchcast Schedule for August 2022
🕑 Added 2022-07-30 19:11:07 +0000 UTCHey, everyone! Alex here. Hope you're having yourself a good weekend. We've got our first month of the Nextlander Watchcast in the books, and we've got a full schedule ready for August. Here's all the movies and Star Trek episodes we'll be watching over the next several weeks.
August 1st: The Hunt for Red October (1990)
Our Mission Control and Mysterious Benefactor patrons voted, and they wanted to see us tackle some classic submarine movies this month, so we're kicking things off with a movie that's been very high on Brad's cinematic bucket list for a while now in John McTiernan's 1990 Tom Clancy adaptation The Hunt for Red October! Finally, everyone will now understand what we mean when we say "One ping only, Vasily" in our worst Connery accent.
August 8th: Star Trek: The Enemy Within and Mudd's Women
The Enemy Within: A transporter malfunction causes Captain Kirk to split into his "good" and "evil" selves, and a landing party will freeze to death if they don't merge the two back together.
Mudd's Women: The Enterprise picks up an intergalactic conman, Harry Mudd, and three incredibly beautiful women who harbor a dark secret.
August 15th: Crimson Tide (1995)
For the second of our trio of sub flicks, we're tackling Tony Scott's submarine mutiny thriller Crimson Tide. Get ready for a lot of tilted camera work, very sweaty boatmen, and both Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman chewing up the scenery with aplomb.
August 22nd: Star Trek: What Are Little Girls Made Of? and Miri
What Are Little Girls Made Of?: Nurse Christine Chapel is reunited with her old fiance on Exo III, but the scientist has plans for Captain Kirk and the Federation.
Miri: Kirk and a landing party are stranded on a planet due to a disease that causes any adult to die a painful death, and must deal with the local children who have survived.
August 29th: Das Boot (1981)
Rounding out our month-long sub marathon is a classic of the genre that, somehow, none of us have actually seen in Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot! We'll be watching the full three-and-a-half-hour director's cut film version, so get comfy for this one!
All of these episodes will post on the listed dates for our Core Crew, Mission Control, and Mysterious Benefactor patrons. Ground Support patrons and free listeners will get these episodes one week later.
That's all for now. Thanks for watching and listening along with us, and we hope you enjoy this month's roster of films and episodes!

The watch cast is fantastic, it's absolutely shot up to be my favourite podcast, especially the Star Trek episodes.

I love sub month! So many good movies. I will say, I’m a bit bummed that U-571 isn’t on here, because it not only features an absolutely star-studded cast, but it’s superbly well made.
