William Shatner | The D-Con Chamber - Ep. 1

Welcome to our first episode of The D-Con Chamber! We're beyond honored to welcome our first guest - the man, the myth, the legend - William Shatner!
Each week, we explore and celebrate the lives that the Star Trek universe has forever changed. From former and future cast and crew members to celebrities, scientists, and astronauts whose personal and professional journeys have been affected by the franchise, we sit down and dive deep with a new friend, laughing and learning from their stories. Sit back, grab a drink, and join alongside our hosts, Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer, as we get geeky in The D-Con Chamber.

Would love to see T'Pol

[@andymatt4620]

That would be difficult seeing as T'pol is a fictional character. Jolene won't do it.

[@JeffEyges]

@@andymatt4620 I'm not convinced of that. She has hard feelings (justifiably) about the oversexualization of her character, but she always cared for her castmates. And she occasionally does Enterprise-related events. Rarely, but she does them.

[@alvincura]

​@@JeffEygesHoping so

[@mikey2363]

Surely we can get Scott Bakula on! Be awesome to get as many Enterprise crew as possible.

[@jameswinn3281]

AGREED 😁

Who's we?. You aren't the one doing the booking.

@@andymatt4620 the Fans Matt, the fans .

[@andymatt4620]

@@mikey2363 That "we" talk is so cringe. The fans have no hand or part in creating this show so no idea what you are babbling on about. Sadly, the awful 455 films are running this one. Lay off the colorista/magic bullet guys. It looks awful.

[@mikey2363]

@@andymatt4620 thank you for your opinion, now, I’ve got to get back - your wife is asking for round 3 with me.

Wonderful to see Dominic and Connor back together again!! Great show!! 💜🖖🏾🪐💫✨

[@daogier]

Thanks for not giving up on the show. You two are great interviewers and have a chemistry I love. Keep up the good work!!

[@christianfecteau6436]

Great to have you back, guys! We missed you!

[@sparky955]

I’ve been watching that man since 1966 & you two presented the most relaxed, honest & insightful interview I’ve ever seen. I am SO glad you’re back !!

[@user-ht1xu4gv2u]

Twilight zone here and he was in the 50s. TV. Live

[@dee_mcgee11]

Shatner: "Well, now I have to live up to all that." 😁 Congratulations Dominic and Connor! What an incredible 1st episode!

[@mayborello1461]

Thank you The D-Con Chamber and 455 Films! What an amazing first episode!!

[@philmarsh5593]

And no trek-chat. Very refreshing, just talking about stuff he's interested in. Looking forward to this show going forward; thank you to all concerned.

[@VoltesWithElias]

I was looking for the Trek talk to be honest considering they are all Star Trek actors. But anyway.

[@philmarsh5593]

@@VoltesWithElias Honest? Why wasn't it honest? I've heard Shatner talk about Trek a million times. Refreshing to hear something different this time.

[@VoltesWithElias]

@@philmarsh5593 Did I say it wasn't honest? I'm just saying to be honest I would have liked some trek talk especially considering it is a trek podcast including three trek actors. Yes it's refreshing to hear Shatner talk about horses but Trek is why they are all there. They could have touched on it a little at the very least.

[@roddungan560]

This was one of the better interviews with William Shatner. You both did a fantastic job.

[@DavidZappone455]

Hard to believe I’ve known Bill for 17 years, and he hasn’t lost a step

[@TheRealSnowCat]

Absolutely fantastic show! So great to see Connor and Dominic back, and Bill Shatner was an amazing guest! Thanks to the 455 Films crew for an amazing production!

[@josephkornbrodt737]

Nice to see our collective labour being so well received! 🎉

[@seanflude3984]

What a wonderful interview. Both Dominic and Connor always get the best out of people. That's a real talent in itself. Parkinson would be proud of you both.

[@colinfischer3628]

I was expecting this to be the same interview I'd seen a thousand times before with Mr. Shatner, and it just wasn't. What a fantastic hour. How insightful and how charming the entire show was. Well Done!

[@armsman5322]

I doubt I'll live to 93; but yeah, Mr. Shatner really looks like he's still in amazing shape physically and mentally. A truly incredible person. Wonderful interview.

[@JuanSanson73]

Wonderful to have these two back! As much as i love other Star Trek actors who have interview / review shows, you two consistently present a great experience in viewing , that just hits all the right notes , cant wait to see you grow on this channel!

[@jonathanencarnacion8184]

What a way to kick off the new series: William Shatner!! Fantastic episode. So glad to see you guys back!

[@imzadi66642]

Our Sunday afternoons are right again!! Happy that you are back. Great interview!

[@ChrisC-vj5dr]

This really was a wonderful interview, thank you. I loved seeing this more considered version of Bill Shatner (much as I love his often over-the-top persona), hearing about his charity work, environmentalism, and his reaction to seeing earth counterposed against the void space. Great work, team. And also lovely to have Dominic and Connor back too of course!

[@johnglielmi6428]

It's great to hear Bill Shatner not talking about Star Trek. He is such an eclectic personality, that we need more interviews of him just talking about life in general. Great inaugural show as well. Hope you have a long run.

[@christopherallen9580]

It's great to see Connor and Dom having a conversation with guests again!

[@ProfessD]

The new show is everything I’d hoped for. Awesome production value, and overall presentation. Stoked this is happening

[@johndavis6119]

I think this is the best interview I've seen Bill Shatner give. Kudos to you two for being great interviewers.

[@snake211987]

The boys are back! So excited!

[@prometheusonealpha7580]

Its amazing how good he looks at the age of 93. He doesnt act nor talked like a 93 year old man comparing to others like Sir Patrick Steward who is 83 years old, 10 years younger than Shatner who unfortunetly looks more like an elder and talks like a very tired old man. Of course everyone is different.

[@djkramit]

Great to see Mr William Shatner on set. Welcome back all. 👏👏👏🥂

[@therandomredshirtpodcast]

So excited to see you both back! We can’t wait!

[@benjaminmcgregor1250]

Cannot wait.

[@TheHedgehogsDelimma]

What a great opening show! It is so wonderful to have you both back. Much love and success going forward.

[@jameswinn3281]

Pounced on it 😍. 🖖🏼

[@saucyduckglobalomnihyperme7510]

This is the best interview of Shatner I've ever seen.

[@dylan-reece]

WOOO HOOOO! Ive miss Dom and Conner like crazy!

[@warmflash]

There is nobody smarter or more talented and fearless than William Shatner. God bless you.

[@fleetadmiralmatteo4123]

It is wonderful to see the two of you back at it, and as ever, William Shatner is a veritable force of nature. Can’t wait to see and hear more of your new show.

[@Scorpwanna]

Dom always hitting home runs with his research!🙂

[@daveagreg]

Yay!!!! So glad you guys are back and fantastic episode! Score one for 455 Films! Looking forward to more @D-ConChamberPod ❤💛💙🤓🖖🏾

[@justinmalmo600]

Please don't go away again, Guys... Oh, how I've missed You both!!! ❤🖖❤

[@Knightfall182]

Its unfortunate how the NuTrek/Kurtzman regime have kept *Shatner* out. He *IS* Star Trek and could easily appear on an upcoming Trek project. 🙃 Hopefully Matalas can bring Kirk back

[@jacquelinekemp4074]

they don't warrant him

[@danielgalway8395]

With Terry now moving onto marvel I sadly doubt legacy will happen anytime soon. Bill has said he’d love to come back if the right story idea got conceived. I still think having Kirk be resurrected in a cartoon then sailing off into the stars would be the best way to go. Shatner performed Kirk’s death fantastically it just wasn’t a death worthy of someone as important as Kirk.

[@andymatt4620]

The only person that has kept Shatner out is Shatner demanding more money for an appearance on Enterprise etc.

[@j.r.marchley1563]

Bill Shatner is amazing. Connor & Dominic glad to see you back, missed the camaraderie you engender. Some sage advice for you given to me by my niece who died at a very young 39. Never regret growing older in life, it is a privilege denied to many.🖖

[@jameswinn3281]

Great debut show guys! Very enjoyable, it was really nice to see the side of Bill Shatner that wasn’t Star Trek … cos like you guys, he’s so much more 🖖🏼

[@MichelePridgeon]

1,000% Expected Star Trek talk and was delighted to experience the human side we can all relate and inspire to (supporting human kind in our own way).

[@Trekfanwanda]

So exciting!!

[@katyality]

This is very exciting! Mr. Shatner is so tenacious Love it!

[@mafnoor]

Lovely first episode, and SO great having Dominic and Connor back! Thanks much-- looking forward to more!

[@robvangessel3766]

Horses have an odd history with the American continent. The very first horses evolved on the North American grasslands millions of years ago. Then they deserted North America and migrated across the Bering land bridge into what is now Siberia. And, then, of course, so much later, the Spaniards brought them back here.

[@debra7615]

I'm impressed with Dom's Yiddish 😘

I’m so glad you are back. I was so confused as to why you had seemingly given up on such a promising concept. Keep up the amazing work.

[@rochamonica]

Welcome back, and with a great journey to all of us!! 🖖

[@davidlavigne207]

After discovering this new channel, I was so gratified to see that episode 1 brought us this wonderful interview with William Shatner. I appreciate his sharing of his love of horses, something which I share, but also his love of ecology and humanity. I also appreciated his stories of his time with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford on Avon. Having Christopher Plummer playing opposite him in "Star Trek Vi The Undiscovered Country" must have been an interesting reunion considering how he played his role of "Henry the V" so many years earlier. This was a fantastic debut for Dom and Conner. God bless them in their endeavors.

[@ScottMartin1701]

Quite a glow-up! Wonderful job to all involved. We're so happy to see you back!

[@sandynathan4023]

Absolutely thrilled to see you two back! Have really missed not seeing you these past months. Great job all around and really enjoyed the laid back interview with Bill. Looking so forward to more shows and interesting guests!

[@margitmargann3099]

What a great start! Many thanks to you Dominic and Connor for this entertaining, interesting interview! I am proud of you. Thanks to Bonnie for your theme song. Many thanks to the whole team for their excellent work. You can tell that real friends are working together here. I'm looking forward to the future episodes and hope to be able to spend some fun time with you all in the chat again. Even though I realize that my English needs to be refreshed again. 😂 That's what I've been missing a lot on that many Sundays. As far as Patreon is concerned, as your first subscriber I feel all the more obliged to promote you. 😉 See you around soon! Margit💙🧡💛🌻
