#122 (Sort Of) - Starlite Starbrite: Special Unearthed Episode #000.0: The Naming of the Podcast (Recorded June 10, 2020)

Discerning Geeks Portal

Welcome to "Starlite Starbrite: Special Unearthed Episode #000.0: The Naming of the Podcast." Recorded on June 10, 2020, this is the first of two practice sessions that Dave, Dave, and Todd recorded to prove that the podcast could become a reality -- six weeks before publishing their movie review of "The Martian" as episode #001 on July 21, 2020. In this first unearthed episode, the Geeks discussed & decided on the name of the podcast.

- Which possible podcast names did each Geek advocate for, and which names got shot down?

- Which Geek came prepared with a color-coded spreadsheet of over 60 possible names to work from (this should be an easy guess)?

- How fast did the Geeks come to a decision, and how did each Geek contribute to a portion of the final name?

- After the decision was made, how did the discussion turn to the movie "Battle: Los Angeles," which the Geeks eventually reviewed in episode #086?

- How did the discussion then turn to favorite sci-fi TV characters, and which characters were mentioned? Which co-hosts mentioned their #1 favorites, and who were they? You may know the answer to this question if you tuned in to our Favorite Sci-Fi TV Characters topic in episodes #037 & #039 (not a typo; we published a "WandaVision" review between Parts 1 & 2 of the characters discussion).

- And, why does the name of this bonus episode start off "Starlite Starbrite" -- a reference to the trailer park (and neighboring convenience store) in the movie "The Last Starfighter," which we reviewed in episode #033? Hint: It's in honor of Dave Teague. Listen to the first few minutes of the episode for context.

We hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane, appreciate a peak behind the scenes at our process for naming the podcast, and forgive us for the sound quality of recording from 2020 Discord chat using our first set of microphones.

And, stay tuned all March as we pay tribute to David Charles Teague, who we greatly miss.
