Star Trek: Khan audio drama
I recently finished listening to the nine part audio drama, Star Trek: Khan, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! You can find it for free on Spotify, and watch/listen to the trailer below. I went into it without knowing what all to expect so I was excited to hear George Takei and…

Orphans of the Sky [Book Review]
![Orphans of the Sky [Book Review]](https://matthewmcnutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/orphans-blog.jpg)
I first read Orphans of the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein when I was twelve and loved it—but then forgot the title. For decades, I’d find myself trying to remember it, coming up short every time. Recently, a random memory finally clicked, and after some quick Google searching, I tracked it down. Reading it again…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife review
Summary: Sooooooo good. If you love Ghostbusters then you’ll love this. Watch it. A little longer and some mild spoilers: Oh my word, I love this movie. I was so ready to be disappointed … and I was so wrong. My biggest frustration with Ghostbusters II and the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot was that it felt…

Star Trek: Picard
“Be the captain they remember.” Zhaban’s words to Picard gave me chills. So much of this first episode caught me off guard in the best possible way. My non-spoiler thoughts? Best premiere episode of a Star Trek series. My wife and I loved it, my four Star Trek antagonistic sons who I forced to watch…

Cobra Kai
Geek blog post alert. You’ve been warned. YouTube Red, the paid YouTube service launched the Cobra Kai tv series; ten episodes of pure awesomeness set 34 years after the original Karate Kid movie. Ralph Macchio (Daniel) and William Zabka (Johnny) are back and it is glorious. I accidentally marathoned the whole thing over the space…

Star Trek Discovery
I’m four episodes in to the first season of the newest Star Trek show … and I’m really, really enjoying it. I’m going to keep this spoiler-free, so it will probably be somewhat short! The production value is on par with the recent movies; the special effects, the costumes, the work they put in to…

The Small Town America Tour recap
Last weekend we had an amazing concert night with the Small Town America Tour. It was also our first foray into pyrotechnics in the sanctuary … The concert itself was a blast. Openers Scarlet White and Shonlock were both amazing, with Shonlock really winning over the teens – they’ve been begging me every time they…

Bob is the new host of Biggest Loser
In an interesting changeup, Alison Sweeney is no longer on Biggest Loser and Bob Harper will take up the Hosting mantle for season 17! Dolvett and Jennifer will return as the trainers for the show. It’s weird in a way, the show is so far removed from when I was on it – different production…

“The Death of ‘Superman Lives’; What Happened?” Review
A Superman movie directed by Tim Burton, starring Nicholas Cage? I’ve been making jokes about that killed project for years! It seemed a bizarre concept at best! But now a documentary, years in the making, has dropped giving the full story of the dropped film from Tim Burton, the producers, writers and more. It is…
