The Movie Education of Logan Crosland - Episode 16 - Star Trek: First Contact

Borg? Sounds Swedish....Definitely not Swedish.
In a world where one man has only seen 30 or so movies comes a desire to learn from a master. A master of film. A master of cinema. A master who has led such a sad life. 
Logan seeks the knowledge and he turns to his own personal “Yoda”; Keithie.
Join Logan & Keithie on a wild adventure to discover as we watch along with a new movie each episode in THE MOVIE EDUCATION OF LOGAN CROSLAND.
This episode, Logan, Keithie & Tim go where no one has gone before; into the future, then into the past. 
Logan gets caught in the Crosland Fire here as Tim & Keithie share their perspectives on the Star Trek universe as the boys watch Star Trek: First Contact. 
They discuss the difference between the Captains; the movies & tv shows; Data's story arc and of course "the Trek vs the Wars". 
Does Logan have fun? You're blended alright. Does Logan end up being an amazing historical figure? Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgements. Does Logan try to leave? 0.68 seconds sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.
Does Logan learn anything? He learns that when it comes to the Borg; "THEY'VE ADAPTED"

Hands of Z #22.5: Hey, Buddy!

On this edition of the .5 episode of Hands of Z, Keith and Shawn look at two of the "Buddys" and a lot of "Nature Boys" of wrestling.
Up first the boys watch a 2/3 falls NWA World Title Match from June 30th, 1961 between Champion Pat O'Connor and "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers in front of 38,000 people in Chicago! It's in color and historic for several reasons!
From there they go to an episode of NWA Power Hour from 11/24/1990 where "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell faces "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. This one also has a hell of a backstory...that took place 5 years before this match, which is 1 year less than the amount of minutes this match got.
This is a good one full of history and background on both matches so give it a listen!
