Let’s go back to where it all began! The GateWorld Podcast begins its tour through the history of the Stargate franchise with “Stargate” the movie, the 1994 summer blockbuster starring Kurt Russell and James Spader. Darren and David talk about the highs and lows of the film, how well it was transitioned to television, and whether it holds up after nearly 15 years.
This week we also have a preview of our new interview with “Brain Storm” guest star Bill Nye, plus the latest Stargate news and site features!

“i don’t get it” hilarious
great podcast guys :D
another good podcast, it was interesting listening.
I don’t remember much about the movie, other than it was kind of a shock to see other actors as Jack and Daniel.
I liked Ra (as a character).
Never been to a con, hope someday to go, but would be quite self concious around the actors, so perhaps it will never happen!
Here’s a plausible explanation for the Creek Mountain / Cheyenne Mountain continuity issue. Creek Mountain is a missile silo facility nearly adjacent to Cheyenne Mountain.

Even in SG-1, they state the gate is in a “missile silo”. That… Read more »

Hi guy’s! I just came upon this podcast recently and now I am addicted to listening to you guy’s and love hearing other people’s opinion’s about my favorite show’s for a change.

I really like the movie, especially Kurt Russell, even though he was kind of an asshole, certainly not the way Richard Dean Anderson depicted him later on when the series started, even though his depiction in the pilot wasn’t even what Jack O’Neill would wind up being like as the series progreeses. The movie actually moves at a great pace, it definitely doesn’t feel like it’s… Read more »
