The movie
Show notes
Join hosts Nick, Stephen, Cam, and Katherine as they fire up the wormhole and travel back to 1994 to review the cult classic sci-fi adventure film Stargate! In this episode, the Gen Wars crew dives deep into the intergalactic mythology, the film’s impact on '90s science fiction, and whether it still holds up today. Directed by Roland Emmerich, Stargate stars Kurt Russell as the hardened Colonel Jack O’Neil and James Spader as the brilliant but eccentric Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Jackson. The story begins when a mysterious ancient artifact—unearthed in Egypt—turns out to be a portal to another world. What follows is a journey through space and time, ancient alien civilizations, and high-stakes rebellion. Though it inspired a massive franchise including Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe, this 1994 original was the movie that launched it all—featuring iconic visuals, military sci-fi action, and themes of language, myth, and colonization. In this episode: Is Stargate underrated or overhyped? Which host connected most with the movie—and who was left cold? Did the film age well, or is it a relic best left buried?
