- Season 2, episode 28 is here. Dominic, Connor, Erica, and Mark have an awesome conversation with 7 time Emmy Award winning visual effects (and knife fighting) master DAN CURRY. Dan is so great, he brought a specific Klingon’s Bat’leth… and other weapons… and an amazing perspective on life and work and the pursuit of wisdom… and the lethality of paper.
We discuss Dan's upbringing, immersing oneself in another culture, the benefits of learning and thinking in other languages, inventing the Bat'leth, inventing Worf's other weapons, making waterfalls for $200, the importance of inner strength, the fact that nobody can take your integrity nor your knowledge, and much more. Erica gets some fan questions in, we play a round of Star Trek Trivia, and we subject Dan to being "Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” If you like brilliant people, this is a fun one. So grab your mimosa and get ready for some laughs.
The full, complete version of this conversation is available to our amazing Patreon Members.

Dan was a fantastic guest! Thanks to everyone involved in making @ShuttlepodShow happen, for all you do!
Dan Curry = a mild mannered, soft spoken badass ✊🏽
Most AUTHENTIC Badasses that I’ve seen or personally met ARE soft spoken - and courteous -silent .. and (potentially) deadly …
Mr. Curry is a true polymath! A movie should be made of his life (with names and dates changed, for the sake of privacy). Erica, Connor, Dominick, and Mark, the show just gets better and better. You guys choose really great guests!
Regarding merch: I want a Mark, Mark, Mark!!! T-Shirt in the TOS font as well as a shirt or a cap with the three colored 45 degree angled stripes with the elongated star shaped shuttlepod (like the watermark on the lower right corner while watching the show).
Please keep up the great work. I wish you health, wealth, and true contentment in your endeavors.
Dan Curry is awesome.
Connor, Dom, Erica and Mark - congrats on another wonderful episode! This episode was quite a treat, I must say! I love when you manage to wrangle in guests that are/were part of the behind the scenes magic of Trek. It truly is so special. Mr. Curry seems to have had a very exciting life thus far, wow! You could really get the sense of how much those experiences shaped his creative process and vice versa. The fact he could come up with a functioning work around for an effect in such little time is truly extraordinary. He radiates a very calm and kind persona and the wisdom he dispenses in this episode should not be understated. I really enjoyed hearing about his perspective on art and the current state of things, how technology is no substitute for real human effort and soul. The fans provided some really stellar questions for this episode as well! All in all, a really interesting and engrossing episode! I can't wait to see what next week has in store. Happy Shuttlepod Sunday everyone! 😊🖖💗🍃 P.S. - Not to tell you guys how to run the show (you're doing fantastic as always), but you could work in the top three favourite movies question going forward at all? I'd love to hear what answers guests provide for that one!
I freaking love this guy. What a life he's living.
Your guests are top notch. Every aspect of what this show does is top notch. Everyone behind the camera is super. And the hosts cannot be over stated as being just as interesting as the guests. Cannot get enough of this. WAY better than any tv show host/guest star interaction in the last .. ever. Because those tv shows have a smattering of commercials that interrupt and reduce the time the guests have to share. 45 minutes to unlimited time here with guests is awesome! And a special shout out from 1 Washingtonian to another. Do you realize you and Adam West come from the same place? (trivia for you in case you were not aware)
Thank you guys! That was great! Yes Mark, Dan Curry is awesome. To Dom: I'm sure you remember someone who can help you to freshen up your French Language online... See you all around next time!🤗🤗💛💛🌻🌻❣❣
Thank you for inviting Dan Curry to the Show, it was so interesting. 😊🙏
Hearing the history and inspiration of some of the weapons was genuinely fascinating! Dan Curry is lovely and a true master of his craft. Thank you all for another wonderful show!
If you guys keep getting these amazing guests, I'm going to run out of money buying their books.
I didn't realize so much of the klingon fighting stuff was reverence for thai culture! what a gem! thanks for letting us in on it!
This was such a delightful unexpected treat!! Dan is such and insightful person filled with a wealth of knowledge and life experiences! Thank you for bringing him to us!!
Dan is a artist extraordinaire.
A magical wizard of design a marvel of inventiveness. A creator of unknown and very much needed necessities. 🖖
I always love chats with Dan Curry, especially when he talks about the bladed weapons he's developed from older ideas. His book is a phenomenal piece of art in and of itself!
Great interview, I had no idea what a fascinating life Dan Curry has led. Very much in the spirit of Star Trek, learning from new cultures and experiences.
Random sidenote, the way Connor says, "you get ALLLLLLLLLL the ice cream" is oddly comforting, and I look forward to it in every episode now.
What a fantastic life that man has lead. I have so much respect for him and the work he has done . Without people like him TV and movies just wouldn't be the same . Thank you all for another awesome episode .
Yes Mr Curry integrity and knowledge
I’m loving these chats with the behind the camera people; we don’t often get to hear their stories, so big thank you! 💙
How is it that some people can be so amazing and do so many things in their lives to achieve so much. Dan Curry is one of those people and it was great hearing all about it.
What an awesome show! Dan Curry is one of those hollywood scifi behind the scenes gems.. what an interesting career and life he's led!
Great interview! Loved Conner's comment about being successful. My Dad was a genius, but whenever us kids asked him a question he would say, 'let's look it up', and go grab one of his many many books. I have too many books, if there is such a thing.
OMG! He taught art at Cape Cod Community College (AKA: 4Cs)! I went to school there in the 1990s long after he was there, but the school was a great experience. Lots of professors who worked there part time and taught in the subject that was their day job. For example: my child psychology teacher was a practicing child psychologist. It was really great to get the benefit of their real life experiences.
Oh wow! Hahaha.
Great guest- thanks @The Shuttlepod Show !
The Vulcan 🖖 in star trek are the ancient Greek and the romulus are the Roman Empire
This is most definitely one of the best guests you cats have had so far. And considering that list, it's no small feat.
The show continues to improve and has become a weekly place for not only fans of Trek but the vast universe that encompasses those of us that love science fiction.
Thank you.
#triplives
After discovering this channel, I’ve started to rewatch all of the Enterprise episodes. They are excellent. 👍👍.
Any chance of the great Jolene Blalock doing your show ?
this
Yep, this ^^.
This was my first time attending live. I enjoyed watching the chat as much as the show. Thanks for making this trekker a happy camper!
Thanks for coming! Glad you had fun! Hope to see you next week!
Welcome! Hope to see ya again!
Interesting life and some deep discussion. Great show!
I am a long time Star Trek fan, since 1966. In the mid 1990s to the early 2000s I was studying American Kenpo Karate. I participated in many martial arts tournaments. I wanted to combine these two hobbies. I found a source to buy a demonstration Bat’leth. A friend gave me an (unauthorized) book containing a form for the Bat’leth. I adapted the form and performed it at a couple of tournaments. The first time was awful. But the second year I had it down and took home the second of only two 1st place trophies I ever won. The Bat’leth attracted quite a bit of attention. I was know as the guy with the crazy sword. Or maybe the crazy guy with the sword.
1:00:37 and amazing point. I’d never thought about the captain’s log like that before.
This was amazing. Had no idea that he’d been involved in the Top Gun title/ opening sequence. My all-time favorite opening sequence/ title segment in a film ever.
I love the romulus and the Vulcan in star trek
One of the many things I love about this show is that I often question my Trekkie credentials but when I ace the trivia on a near weekly basis i feel that maybe i deserve those credentials.
Hahaha. I know how you feel…
Please keep in touch with him so that we may hear about his "Space Rush" show! It's sounds great, and reminds me of Larry Niven's Belters and the Expanse's Belters.
Curry's life in Thailand would make an amazing movie.
Happy to hear my favorite ST series is getting more respect. Love the Shuttlepod Show, don't know how you get it together every week. I know there's a lot goes on behind the scenes.
Been a minute since I heard the theme. It's like coming home. =)
Great episode!
The talent behind the artistry in Star Trek fascinate me as much as those that star in it. I've collected pretty much all the Star Trek coffee table books over the years... and yes, Dan's book is in my library! 😀
Great guest, didn't know about Dan's Star Trek artistry book and I just bought it on Amazon. 😊
This episode was wonderful, Dan is amazing, I will never view the puffs of smoke from the glasses on Chuck the same way again now knowing how they were made! Thank you so much for presenting this and all of your hard work to make this show, it made a challenging day in world brighter! Much love to you ❤
I love whoever does the paintings that hang in the background.
AYE!
I went to Humboldt in the 2000s. Dan Curry spoke at my graduation.
"Just a black belt", probably means Dan has a "Cho Dan", or 1st degree black belt. They go up to 10 (Sip Dan).
OK guys, Dan Curry is BY FAR the most intriguing member of the Star Trek Universe I have ever heard. For me, this and the Rick Berman pods were the BEST!!!!
Been watching Enterprise lately and forgot how long ago that was. Seeng Connor snd Dom is like like watching ToS and seeing James Doohan. lol Time for the 2 week Micheal Dorn challenge boys. Need to keep you two around.
What a fascinating individual.
Yep the limitations on how many ships could be together really impacted Best of Both Worlds part 2. 3 small ships were Sol defense fleet.
It was nice to see Dan and hear his stories. You should have more below the line guests. Lets hear from the art department crew, construction , costumes, props, etc.
So many great episodes
Thanks 👍🏻 I like the Seahawks ball cap
A really fascinating episode. Thanks so much again.
Once again, an absolutely fabulous episode! Thoroughly ADORE backstories😀✨and staggering fun times
This was one of the most enjoyable episodes. Such amazing stories.
I saw the Seahawks hat and I got excited
I own Dan Curry’s Book thanks to the interview dune during Covid from The Delta Flyer’s Patreon before the book came out.
Very cool interview with Dan Curry! On the AI doing art question, it seems to me that humans will always be the ones *inducing* art and new concepts, not deducing as AI does. In other words, AI averages existing works, but humans invent whole new concepts and artistic styles.
Vermont is my home state! Small world!
Thank you guys for this great Ep, Dan Curry is a Star Trek legend 🖖
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing guest!
DAAANNNN!!!!! So nice to see you in great spirits and doing well!!! I miss your stories. :)
Very smart of art department to listen to Curry very carefully
Curry is brilliant! Very interesting interview.
There will always be value with things that are made by hand! AI art is wonderful to inspire and to help bring the imaginations of people that really don't have artistic talent into picture form. Love this episode! LLaP
34:42 wha wha wa wa what!!! Connor making a gangnam remix there.
Dan Curry is clearly brilliant at thinking of creative ways to do effects.
A lot more than 15 seconds worth of great show. I think I'll be looking at all of his suggestions 'the mortal storm' & 'the blade spares none' movies and Thomas B. Costain's books, TY for those suggestions. Another episode I really wasn't sure I was going to like but then did.
Great episode as always!!!
Thank you!
A very interesting interview. Thank you.
What a great show! Kudos to you all. 🖖
what an amazing guest
A fascinating man, thank you !
The bat-leth always reminded me of deer or moose antlers, with two bucks fighting. I wonder if this entered into Dan Curry's inspiration for it at all.
Wow, you have the best guests telling incredible stories 👏 👌. Dan you are amazing ❤, however, I couldn't get past the painting of you looking somewhat like Colonel Sanders 😅👍🥰
This is all very... fascinating 🖖🏻
Great show Dan is a treasure ❤
@0:39 not the reach around one wants lol 😂
I like Indian Curry. He always keeps things spicy!
Great show. BTW. Aside from TOS, Enterprise is my favorite Star Trek series. I watch it as a kid when Star Trek was still on NBC and then hit syndication I am an Orthodox Trekkie. I loved the mystery, possibility and danger that was ever present as well as the high standards of integrity and idealism in the characters. I feel Enterprise recaptured all of those elements.
happy to have joined😁
Love the "shuttlepod Show"
AMAZING ❤
Thanks, all! I enjoyed this show.
1:15:18 that’s cool to know about Worf and Tai Chi.
This would have been my dream job
So awesome.
Glad you think so! Thank you!
@ShuttlepodShow great show. I'm so glad I stumbled on this podcast.
amazing man. Thank you for your brilliant wrok Dan, ordering the book!
Would loved to see his designs for Magic Flute.
Me too, so cool to hear he did opera
Amazing interview
Thank you!
I love the klingon empire warships
Great interview, well done!!!!!!
Dan Curry is a great creative! But there is some confusion about Dan’s timeline. Graduating from Middleburry in 1968 (age 22 not 19 like one might understand from this interview), then to the Peace Corps/Asia creative time(early 70’s). Return to the US, Small College teaching job and medical illustration job, then admission to Humboldt State(mid 70’s). Introduction to ILM and others at Humboldt before graduating. By late 70’s he is beginning his adventures in film and TV (age early 30’s)
It seems that everyone interviewing him was surprised when he said how old he was when answered the questions about how old he was when he started the teaching job in New York. Perhaps he misheard the questions.

The Mortal Storm is and incredible movie
One of the first lessons I learned from movies not to believe in no win scenarios
Huzzah! 🎉 Huzzah, I say!
Another quality episode
I feel like I just earned my philosophy degree, lol, thank you 🤔
Klingon are the vikings of star trek
If you want to learn how to do special effects listen to the Fx Guide podcast. But formal academic subjects such as drawing & graphic/technical on the one hand design & Origarmi (Adam savage says whether it's metal, wood, plastic, paper, foam core, or flesh that it's all the same skills in how to fold) & on the other hand combine that with both pure & applied maths which computing is application of. And then on third hand learn to Act & Improv. Much of animation is performed first by the animators to understand what needs to be captured for example the army men in toy story was an animator with a pair of old sneakers nailed to a board
Speaking of Dyson sphere still hope for Ringworld in trek
Once again watching late so hope people don't mind running commentary. We go and watch movies in theater a few weeks after release. On yes Sunday.
