Summary
“Richard Gere is too handsome to fight with a helmet on!” - Andrew
On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the super-sexy, Arthurian blockbuster, First Knight!
How incredible and unsettling is Gere’s wig? Why is every character in this movie way too clean? Did Malagant’s broke down palace have an actual bottomless pit? How great is Ben Cross in this movie? And do these Knights of the Roundtable outfits look like something a Klingon would wear? PLUS: Sean Connery’s favorite movie of 2005 was definitely Robert Rodriguez’s Shin Shity!
First Knight stars Sean Connery, Richard Gere, Julia Ormond, Liam Cunningham, Christopher Villiers, Ralph Ineson, John Gielgud, and Ben Cross as Malagant; directed by Jerry Zucker.

| 0:00.0 | Hey gang, before we get into today's very sexy episode on first night, well, because the |
| 0:05.8 | movie itself is sexy, you see. But before we get into that, just wanted to remind you |
| 0:09.8 | that this summer we want you to come play in the desert with us. That's right. This August, |
| 0:14.0 | we are going to be in Las Vegas, Nevada, y'all. That's right, Vegas, baby. We are appearing at |
| 0:19.5 | STLV, which is the largest Star Trek convention in the world. |
| 0:25.3 | We are going to be there. |
| 0:26.5 | They are celebrating 60 years of Star Trek, and we are celebrating 10 years of doing our Star Trek recap show, The Nexus. |
| 0:33.6 | Now, if you're unfamiliar with the Nexus, it is a show where we go through the world of Star Trek, episode by episode, the original series, and the next generation mostly, but not exclusively. |
| 0:44.1 | And we just have a lot of fun. We love Star Trek, so it's a big, big honor for us to come out to Vegas to do these shows. |
| 0:49.9 | It's a three-night residency in Las Vegas, y'all. |
| 0:52.2 | We are doing the shows in the DeForest Kelly Theater, y'all, at the Rio, where the convention is happening. Thursday, August 6th, we're talking Star Trek 2, the Rathakan. Friday, August 7th, we're talking about Star Trek generations. And Saturday, August 8th, we're talking about Star Trek First Contact. Three of our favorite Star Trek films over three nights. It's going to be a lot of fun. The Nexus Live is a real treat. It's a rarity. Folks in Oxford, England, can attest to that from last summer when we did some live Nexus fun over there. So do not hesitate, folks. The cool thing is also, we know that this is a convention, but the good news is our shows are separately ticketed. So you do not need to be attending this convention in order to come check out our three shows. But we are going to be around the convention floor. We're going to be hanging out in Vegas that whole weekend. It's going to be a lot of fun. We want to see you out there. Head to our website, you guys, WHM Podcast.com. All the ticketing information is right there. There's different tiers for meet and greets and all that stuff. So look into it. Come on out. It's going to be a lot of fun. This is our big debut in Vegas, y'all. We want to make a real good impression on all those awesome convention folks. WHMpodcast.com, click on the tour tab this August. |
