Goodbye, Captain Picard… Plus Halloween & Three Very Different Movie Reviews

It’s been a week of unexpected losses, spooky-season conversations, and some very different opinions about movies!

We start this episode remembering three familiar faces from the entertainment world. Tom Skerritt, Walter Koenig and, most heartbreakingly, Sir Patrick Stewart. For Shawn, the loss of Captain Jean-Luc Picard hits particularly hard. Picard was practically a TV dad growing up, and this one hurts. We also look back at the passing of Leonard Nimoy and the impact these Star Trek legends have had on generations of fans.

With Halloween just around the corner, we discuss whether Shawn should go trick-or-treating or stay home and hand out candy. Leah also gives us a quick update on putting her bees away for the winter.

We turn our attention to the recent municipal elections and talk about why participating in our communities and exercising our right to vote matters.

After the break, it’s movie-review time!

First up is The Deer Hunter (1978). Shawn finally shares his thoughts on this acclaimed classic. Let’s just say he wasn’t impressed.

Next, we switch gears with MayDay, starring Ryan Reynolds on Apple TV. This one gets a much more enthusiastic review!

And because it’s spooky season, we wrap up our movie discussions with George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Shawn appreciates what the groundbreaking zombie movie brought to the genre, but Leah isn’t quite as impressed.

Finally, we catch up on our YouTube adventures, recent Etsy sales, and whatever else life has thrown our way.

Grab your coffee and join Shawn and Leah for another episode of Have Coffee Will Travel!
