YouTube interviews/streams with Terry Matalas, other writers/producers, actors

It has been suggested that this section should have a dedicated thread for YouTube interview content. That seems like a good idea, so I thought I'd get one started and people can add to it with both old and new findings. Maybe you can even find something with Michael Chabon or Akiva Goldsman...

Can't do multiple likes.

 

The Popcast YouTube channel has episode overviews with brief comments from Terry Matalas

Thank you for breaking this off. Most appreciated.

 

Good stuff, thanks!

 

Thanks for posting the Picard videos here .

 

Robert Meyer Burnett and Bill Hunt (editor, The Digital Bits physical media website) interview Todd Stashwick (streamed live March 9, 2023). Todd arrives at about the 19 minute mark. Talks about how he imagined the USS Constance evacuation playing out in his head, his head canon about picking Seven to be his first officer, how his performance in "No Win Scenario" inspired veterans to contact him with their survivor's guilt stories... "I spend my adult life living the dream of my childhood"... also answers a couple quick questions in character as Shaw, such as if his opinion on jazz has changed...

 

Popcast sit down interview with Todd Stashwick, is about an hour long.

 

I enjoyed watching the Popcast interview with Todd Stashwick. TrekMovie's Pod cast did one with Gates McFadden. I enjoyed listening to Gates talking about Beverley's story arc in season 3.

 

Thanks. Maybe we should get a thread going dedicated to podcast interviews?

Meanwhile the Popcast guys (who did the one where Terry Matalas showed up last week) just had a live chat with Christopher Monfette



Monfette is on for the entire stream

 

Again just my opinion, but I’d think it would make sense for podcast and YT videos in the same place. Just my opinion.

 

Agreed. I can hardly keep track. Multiple threads are just a pain in the rear end.

 

I highly recommend the Inside of you podcast Frakes interview. Its so good.

 

Thank you. Your recommendation is much appreciated!

 

I listened to that one. It was quite good!

 

Thanks!

 

Jonathan Frakes interview was really interesting

 

Gates on the Shuttlepod Show

 

This week's guest with the Popcast is season 2/3 writer/producer Matt Okumura. He's on for almost three hours, and definitely knows his franchise history. Okumura interviewed with Michael Chabon and Terry Matalas in December 2019, they were full, but Terry was then able to bring him in around Fall 2020. Topics include casting Michelle Forbes, how the season arcs were planned, and fans wanting more from the season 3 team.

He has a few quite diplomatic answers about Disco-Klingons and Alex Kurtzman's role in season 3 as well.
