SALTBURN and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION “THE INNER LIGHT”/STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE “THE VISITOR”: Reviewed! We go spoiler heavy as fuck today so be warned: this may impact your future first-time enjoyment of these products, if that is indeed a concern of yours. So if you’re spoiler-sensitive (shout out one of our own!) consider this your trigger warning.
Welcome to the season finale where the fact that it’s our finale is barely remarked upon. No bells and no whistles ladies and gentlemen, just like you like it. We’ve done enough specials this year. So today we’re rawdogging it, podcast style: reviews, scores, guesses and pitches. It’s all you want, so it’s all you get.
Reviews of Saltburn are Jeffrey’s new favourite snack this week, so by all means, join in and feast. First up, we have one from Hannah Strong of Little White Lies, the originator of the ratings system we’ve copped: https://lwlies.com/reviews/saltburn/
Wesley Morris of the New York Times wrote a review that gets quoted considerably on the episode: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/movies/saltburn-review.html
Christy Lemire wrote a review for rogerebert.com. Shout out Roger Ebert, the goat film critic: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/saltburn-movie-review-2023
Sophie Butcher wrote a review for Empire, which is a big throwback for your humble hosts: https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/saltburn/
The trekkies out there know; these episodes we cover today are both big deals! So of course they come with their own individualised wikipedia pages. Firstly, season 5 episode 25 of The Next Generation from 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inner_Light_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
And lastly, season 4 episode 2 of Deep Space Nine from 1995: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Visitor_(Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine)
Shout out this medium article recommended by Jonathan Mortemore (shout out https://www.filmaculategrid.com/ and @jvd_games) that articulately recommends the best of the Next Generation: https://medium.com/maxistentialism-blog/star-trek-the-next-generation-in-40-hours-c4a6762cbd3
