Rod Roddenberry (Phone Interview-2011)

Posted on July 17, 2016 3:17 pm by Admin Comment
Rod Roddenberry took camera and crew on a journey to discover more about his late father, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and compiled it all into the documentary Trek Nation. “Rod’s quest takes him boldly beyond fandom to a deeper understanding of one of the most hugely influential sci-fi entities of all time” and gives us a better understanding of the man who started it all.

Mr. Roddenberry was good enough to give me some of his time and discuss Trek Nation in a little more detail.

Luciana Carro (Starfest-2011)

Posted on July 12, 2016 8:35 pm by Admin Comment
Ms. Carro stepped onto the set of the new Battlestar Galactica expecting to do a one shot character and move on. Little did she know that she would get the chance to develop Louanne “Kat” Katraine over 3 seasons and 18 episodes.

She attended her first Starfest and was kind enough to sit down with us to chat.

Dr. Michio Kaku (Phone Interview-2010)

Posted on July 12, 2016 5:39 pm by Admin Comment
Dr. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, best-selling author, and popularizer of science.
He is known in the world of physics as the co-creator of string field theory, a branch of string theory, and his research on Einstein’s “Theory of Everything.” The theory seeks to unify the four fundamental forces of the universe-the strong force, the weak force, gravity and electromagnetism.

Dr. Kaku has written several best-sellers including “Hyperspace”, “Physics of the Impossible” which was on the New York Times best-seller list for five weeks and his newest book “Physics of the Future” where he talks of the science being done today that will change the shape of the world by the year 2100.

He also hosts the Science Channel’s Sci-Fi Science – Physics of the Impossible.

In our interview we talk a great deal about some of the subjects in the new book as well as a little bit about Dr. Kaku himself.

Marina Sirtis (Starfest-2010)

Posted on July 12, 2016 5:31 pm by Admin Comment
At the 2010 Denver Starfest the big Star Trek guest was none other than ‘Counselor Troi’ herself, Marina Sirtis!

We had a neat little chat about the evolution, or lack thereof, of the character of Troi and what sort of things she looks for in roles today. (And I gush a bit in the end )
Ms. Sirtis was candid, fun and a pleasure to talk to.

(By the way, with the posting of this interview it is official, we have spoken with someone from EVERY incarnation of Trek)

Vincenzo Natali, director of “Cube” & “Splice” (Starfest-2010)

Posted on July 11, 2016 8:36 pm by Admin Comment
As much as I enjoy talking with the actors that appear in front of the cameras, I LOVE it when I get a chance to speak with the people BEHIND the camera.
Denver Starfest 2010 gave me another chance to do just that with Vincenzo Natali.

Mr. Natali is the writer and director of the phenomenal direct-to-video film Cube and is now taking his latest project Splice to the big screen.

Starring Adrien Brody & Sarah Polley as genetic engineers who have secretly spliced DNA into a human hybrid. The result is ‘Dren’, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature that exhibits uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected physical developments.

Part one:

and Part two:
We talk about his beginnings in film, his work on Cube and a future project that he would love to do.

Summer Glau (Starfest-2010)

Summer Glau, attending her first Starfest, graciously gave some of her limited time to sit down with Jonja.net.
We talk of her first “almost got it”, and the difficulties of performing characters of such wide emotional range.

John Johnson, “Plan 9” (Phone Interview-2009)

Posted on July 6, 2016 6:57 pm by Admin Comment
This one was a lot of fun. John Johnson is a crazy independent film maker with the desire to resurrect Ed Wood’s famous (or is that infamous) film, Plan 9 from Outer Space.

With the blessing and cooperation of the last living cast member Conrad Brooks, John intends to make the film Ed Wood always wanted.

You all know I’m no fan of remakes, but this one has me stoked!

Have a listen and see what you think!

Plan9, The Movie

Eric Pierpoint (Phone Interview-2009)

Posted on July 6, 2016 6:23 pm by Admin Comment
Twenty years ago, a very unusual show appeared on the newly born FOX network. Sure, it was a buddy-cop show like dozens of others but in this show one of the cops was literally from another world. Eric Pierpoint was cast as the young, idealistic Newcomer cop ‘George Francisco’ to play along side Gary Graham’s human detective ‘Matthew Sikes’. Because it was considered “science fiction”, Alien Nation could address and comment on topics such as prejudice, immigration, racism, and slavery that other network show shied away from. Pierpoint would embrace the genre and guest star in many other sci-fi series including Babylon 5 and four Star Trek spin-off series.

In our interview, Eric Pierpoint reminisces about his time on the show and talks about how, even twenty years later, Alien Nation still speaks to topics and controversies that are every bit as relevant today as they were in 1989.
