Rocketman Explores

It is the Rocketman Explores grand finale! Join Rocketman on his final mission before he returns to planet Earth. We are keeping it simple, talking about Pixar's Wall-E with not 1 but 2 guests: Buddy (as you may know from Smark and Friends) and Technical Tina. As an added bonus we also discuss Rocketman's hatred for the movie Cars. 

Another drink episode that pairs ever so nicely with Rocketman's favourite Pixar movie, Wall-E. The perfect drink for brunch or a 5à7, you don't want to miss this recipe! 

Rocketman heads back to the familiar on today's episode, discussing TNG with return guest Aaron from the Enterprising Individuals podcast. It's the classic debate of is an AI or robot a thing or a person and what exactly makes a person a person?

Gearing up for one of Rocketman's all time favourites, TNG, Chris makes a particularly delicious drink with an Earl Grey syrup, in honour of Captain Picard. 

Make yourself a Grim Reaper and settle down with Rocketman for a trilogy of an episode! Connor welcomes good friend and fellow gamer to discuss Mass Effect, the role-playing video game that introduces not one, not two, but three forms of AI. 

Today, Rocketman is joined by Chris, our resident drinks expert, lush or maestro (however you would like to call him) and they are taking you a little out of our ordinary. Today, Chris makes a drink for fit for Death himself, The Grim Reaper while prepping to discuss Mass Effect the video game. 

Finally Rocketman gets to discuss one of his all time favourites, The Expanse. Joined by Miles Baker, director of the Toronto Comics Arts Festival, they get into the protomolecule and discuss Miller as an AI.

Maestro Chris hops on the rocket ship with Rocketman for another drinks episode. When blasting off into space, one sometimes needs a little pick me up and that is exactly what this drink does, Bacardi rum mixed with Monster energy drink will be sure to keep you going for the long haul. 

You've been waiting for it, the first full episode of season 2 of Rocketman Explores: Artificial Intelligence. And who better to invite onto his rocket ship than Rocketman's good friend Carolina, who works at the McGill Space Institute. Today, we're discussing HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Grab yourself a Daisy and enjoy the great topic of artificial intelligence.

We're back at you with more drink episodes, but this time we brought in an expert. Join Rocketman in welcoming our resident lush, Chris, who will be pairing our episodes to a specific drink. On today's episode, we make ourselves a Daisy Margarita, pairing nicely with a little 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

We're back!

Well, almost. First point goes to the internet demons (or daemons, for those in the know) for thwarting our attempts to discuss the classing Buffy episode about the catfishing book-demon-turned-internet-demon, Malcolm. When Alexa the Tribble's new podcast One-sided Conversations comes out, you can hear the audio we did manage to save from this episode-that-never-was. 

Tune in every week as Rocketman Explores delves deep into the questions of A.I. this season, starting with our first drink episode next week. 

Join the TFGC crew in their inaugural Christmas Special. What was supposed to be a family show quickly becomes hectic within minutes as trivia host Alexa gets lost in her own logic of the game, silent partner Alex decides to speak up, Technical Tina gets aggressive, Zak reveals his stripper name, Rocketman fends for himself and Dora swears in Romanian. The crew does unite however over the hatred of dabbing Santa, so all is well within the TFGC realm. If you wish to play along, make sure your general podcasting knowledge is up to speed, you’ve watched some classic Christmas movies and of course have listened to some key TFGC podcasts.

That's right, the Rocketman is back for a Halloween special and he brings along two of his most favourite sidekicks for the ride. He's talking repulsive monsters of fiction with host of Smark & Friends Zak and, representing monsters of all kinds, Alexa the Tribble. They are voting out some of the most disgusting, ugly, badly behaved monsters. Just who will win the Repulsive Monster Event? Listen in to find out! 

Rocketman is flying home for some well deserved time off. Before he does however, he makes a stop in to see his favourite tribble, Alexa, and to discuss some good ol' Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Tribble Alexa gets all height... ahem... hot and bothered when Rocketman divulges which waxes are best to use during BDSM. Not that he has experience of course. Grab your Caesar and listen in to Rocketman Explores : Alternate Universes season finale!

Rocketman may greatly dislike this drink, but he does it to be in good company on next week's episode. Blood thirsty? Why don't you make yourself a good ol' fashioned Caesar?

On this episode, Rocketman gets to discuss one of his all time favourite series: Farscape. He is joined by two other fanatics, Kay and Taz, cohosts of the Farscape Friday Podcast. Be sure to make yourself a jug of Moya Mixer for this episode, as it is as chaotic and jumpy as the actual television episode is. 

Find the Farscape Friday Podcast on Apple podcasts and follow them @farscapefriday on Twitter. 

Rocketman blasts off again, this time having forgotten his clothes behind after a couple too many Moya Mixers. This sweet drink is perfect for a hot summer day by the lake, when little to no clothing is acceptable. If the name of this week's drink doesn't give next week's episode away, just pour yourself another, and another, and another... 

The Rocketman and the Tribble talk digital alternate universes with Black Mirror's U.S.S. Callister and compare it to if 2020 were a video game. Starting with a country on fire, a global pandemic and unrest everywhere, clearly the only card left is for aliens to come and invade Earth. Bring it!

Rocketman blasts past an alternate universe that you may think is Star Wars based on the name of the drink he brings home, but it's not! Enjoy Rocketman's take on a Dark n Stormy in this week's drink episode. 

On today's episode, Rocketman picks up a special guest who is no stranger to Star Trek DS9, Cecil Castellucci. Author of Batgirl for DC Comics, graphic memoir Girl on Film and from Waypoint, Mother's Walk, Cecil jumps right into our world of sci-fi and alternate universes, discussing DS9's The Emperor's New Cloak. Make yourself a strong Sisco's Morning Maple Wood and sit yourself down for this week's episode.

Rocketman is at it again, blasting through space, hopping from universe to universe in order to find YOU the perfect drink. If you liked the White Terran, you will LOVE the Brown Tholian (note: these drinks have no similarities other than having both appeared on the show Rocketman Explores).  So swing a leg over the captain's chair and hunker down for another long awaited drink episode on Rocketman Explores. 

The Tribble returns as Rocketman's copilot for this Star Trek: The Original Series alternate universe episode. As any other Tribble and Rocketman episode, we have many questions for the listener. Will a million staples dropped on you be enough to kill you? In an evil universe, what color would your sash be? This and more on today's episode of Rocketman Explores. So make yourself a White Terran, sink into the couch and let your mind travel to the dark side! 

Off he goes again to find you the ultimate beverage that will match next week's episode. Join Rocketman as he concocts a new drink, The White Terran, and asks some serious questions that one should never put aside. Too strong for you? No worries, you can always milk it down!

In this inaugural episode, we don't stray too far from the familiar, keeping with Star Trek's The Next Generation, Parallels.
