EP 34: Prelude to Axanar (Interview with Director Christian Gossett)

thunderpophost@gmail.com (Reed Charles, Christian Gossett, Steven Presley) — Fri, 3 Sep 2021 03:56:17 +0000

This upload is a special moment in our show's history. It was thought to be a lost episode due to a snafu; we believed this interview with Prelude To Axanar director Christian Gossett to be gone forever. However, it resurfaced miraculously just a few days after the late great Johnny Lightfoot passed away. We would like to believe his force ghost-willed it back onto Steven Presley's hard drive?! Either way, it's was one of our favourite episodes.

Christian Gossett directed the most successful Star Trek fan film in the history of the fandom. Unfortunately, It later led to an ugly lawsuit with Paramount that would forever change how fan films were produced. And unfortunately, due to a falling out, Christian Gossett later broke off from his partnership with co-creator Alec Peters, and that's been highly publicized. All of this and more is covered in this extensive interview.

TP Extra: Loki React EP 1-3

Thu, 24 Jun 2021 20:04:34 +0000

With its second and third episodes, Loki’s meta-narrative became more defined, as did its namesake character’s goal. Hiddleston’s Loki wants to change his story, and to do that, he needs to either trick or forces the Time-Keepers into allowing that to happen. So we see him start to wheedle Owen Wilson’s Agent Mobius about getting face time with the bosses, and we see Mobius blow him off. This show continues to build and we are thrilled to dive in for a Thunder Pop react.

Also, we discuss the passing of a longtime key contributor to the Thunder Pop platform and dear friend Johnny "The Boywonder" Lightfoot. We are devastated by this loss.
