[Khan review starts at 19:42] Anthony and Laurie are joined by TrekMovie reviewer Dénes House this week. They start with a quick look at the news—there’ll be a Star Trek panel and Starfleet Academy experience at New York Comic Con, Ethan Peck and Paul Wesley talk about the Spirk mind meld in the Strange New Worlds season 3 finale, Kate Mulgrew is still mad about the cancellation of Prodigy, Gates McFadden has a fun take on TNG’s “Sub Rosa,” and Jeri Taylor gets honored at last Sunday’s Emmy Awards. Then the trio is ready to talk about the new audio drama Star Trek: Khan. They review the first two episodes with all agreeing it is an excellent new part of Star Trek in terms of storytelling, performances, and production. We also play interviews from Khan co-writer Kirsten Beyer and stars Naveen Andrews (Lost) and Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind). They wrap up with bits of the week, including Rebecca Romijn’s Star Trek role as a clue on Jeopardy, the fun Target Audience reaction podcast watching Star Trek for the first time, and Laurie promoting her upcoming moderation of an online panel with Voyager’s Robert Duncan McNeill.

Brian Drew from The Shuttle Pod joins Anthony and Laurie to talk about the latest on the approved Paramount-Skydance merger and all the news from last week’s San Diego Comic-Con, which brought big reveals about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (including a teaser trailer, character bios, and more) and Strange New Worlds (with teases for season 3, season 4, and beyond… and puppets), plus long-awaited details—and a teaser—for the audio drama Star Trek: Khan. Then Anthony and Laurie review Strange New Worlds’ episode 304, “A Space Adventure Hour,” which they had very different takes on. They wrap up with the announcement of TrekMovie’s upcoming panels at Star Trek Las Vegas.

Real Life Ben spent the week playing nurse, but at least it was a summer cold—infinitely easier than juggling tissues and PTO requests during the school year. The only upside to a sick kid when the sun's out? More cartoons, fewer emails. Hearing Ben wiping noses and handing out popsicles, Steven got nostalgic about Scrubs. Remember Scrubs? Wholesome chaos. Heartfelt weirdness. Probably due for a chaotic Gen Z reboot starring TikTok doctors and JD's ghost AI. Devon was out of town. No details, just gone. Like a Vulcan on shore leave or a cowboy riding off into a logical sunset. We assume he's fine. Or at least reading a very dense novel. Steven went full social butterfly with a jam-packed weekend featuring a wedding and a birthday party. Somehow in between the formal wear and paper plates, he managed to catch Fantastic Four: First Steps. And? He says it's the best Fantastic Four movie he's ever seen. Not necessarily the best Marvel movie, but undeniably its own thing: scientists-turned-superheroes faced with a moral conundrum, wrapped in bright tones and a vibe that says hope isn't dead, it's just been on vacation. Earth 828 (a sweet nod to Jack Kirby's birthday) plays host to a story that takes a deliberate break from the usual “everything is pain” comic fare. Also, there's now a universe where Matt Shakman didn't make Fantastic Four, but instead gifted us a cheerful, boldly optimistic fourth Kelvin Star Trek movie. It lives only in our dreams and this deeply bittersweet TrekMovie article. Sigh. Future or Now Ben, our resident Trekspert, has bucketload of Star Trek news from San Diego Comic-Con: Starfleet Academy got a first trailer, and introduced us to the U.S.S. Athena. George Takei and Tim Russ are teaming up in the Khan audio series, where we'll get to hear Sulu and Tuvok in action. (We assume Tim Russ will sigh at Takei at least once.) Strange New Worlds Season 4 teased a bold new puppet frontier? Yep. Puppets. And then there's the Gwarm. What is a Gwarm, you ask? It's a Star Wars thing, and before you know it, Ben and Steven are back in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek sandbox, flinging references like action figures. (We don't stop them. It's too entertaining.) Meanwhile, Steven was also reading science headlines between existential sighs. The latest? Allegro-FM just pushed material science forward by enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous ones. That's like going from Tinker Toys to a Dyson Sphere. Or from The Pedestrian to a full Black Mirror season. Link Book Club This week, we read The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It's eerie how much this story hits in 2025. A man simply walking at night in Los Angeles gets stopped by an automated police car because being outside is just too suspicious. It's based on Bradbury's real address, and it feels uncomfortably like reality. Mausoleum houses, ghostly TV glow, no sidewalks—just suburban stillness and surveillance. If All Summer in a Day is melancholy, this one's… mournful. Next week we're sticking with Bradbury and reading All Summer in a Day. Rain, Venus, longing, and memory. If The Pedestrian feels like now, All Summer feels like childhood—brief, beautiful, and barely remembered. You can read it here or watch this version that captures the heartbreak with just the right number of slow pans and sad violins. That's it for this week. Whether you're dodging summer colds, traveling through alternate Marvels, or wondering if that sidewalk outside is still walkable, we'll be here—talking Trek, reading Bradbury, and keeping the lights on. Let us know what you thought of Fantastic Four: First Steps. And if you've ever been detained by a futuristic car for taking a stroll, uh… blink twice?
Along with the new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the All Access Star Trek podcast is back in action. Tony and Matt cover the latest news: an update on the Skydance/Paramount merger, Star Trek Emmy and TCA nominations, a Comic-Con preview, and some new comments from the last Star Trek 4 director about that film being shut down in 2022. We also talk about TrekMovie's exclusive coverage of Strange New Worlds, including Akiva's thoughts on the future of the series into season 5 and beyond, the showrunners' comments on the season 3 premiere and previews of what's next, and more commentary from the cast that included Martin Quinn's take on Scotty. Then Laurie (who's out of town this week and couldn't do the news) and Anthony review SNW's season 3 premiere, “Hegemony, Part II,” which wraps up last season's cliffhanger and sets some new stories in motion. Want our review of season 3's second episode, “Wedding Bell Blues”? Come back tomorrow for a bonus episode.

The Conversation about TV and Film Continues...
After a quick catch-up on the production status of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and the Inglorious Treksperts' plans for Star Trek Las Vegas, Anthony and Laurie dig into the questions sent in by podcast listeners. We also get an update from our sister podcast, the original TrekMovie pod, Shuttle Pod.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock are built around one key piece of technology which may or may not have real world implications.“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!”Admiral James Tiberius Kirk, 2285There are countless reasons why fans love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Up until that point, it was the most action-packed installment of Star Trek ever put on screen, so that certainly has something to do with it. William Shatner delivers an all-time great career performance in this one as Admiral James T. Kirk, full of downright Shakespearean drama with his old enemy, the diabolical Khan Noonien Singh. It's got at least one of the most memorable, shocking, and poignant moments in franchise history. Or maybe it's just Ricardo Montalban's magnificent chest. Who's to say?But possibly lost amidst all that magnificence is the fact that The Wrath of Khan is built around a truly great piece of science fiction with the Genesis Device. A project designed to help Starfleet terraform barren worlds is also potentially the ultimate weapon in the galaxy, given that in creating new life it first has to wipe out anything else that's there. Of course the wrong people want to get their grubby mitts on it!In this episode we're diving into just what it would take to truly terraform an alien world, and whether the Genesis Device follows its own rules in the Star Trek universe. Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…SUGGESTED VIEWING Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanYou mean to tell us you're watching or listening to a Roddenberry podcast and you somehow haven't seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? We sure hope you watched it before this episode spoiled the absolute hell out of it for you! But in all seriousness, there's a reason this is the most critically acclaimed and beloved Star Trek movie of all time and why we chose it for this week's topic. Star Trek III: The Search for SpockBut also, you can't watch The Wrath of Khan (or get a full picture of the scope of the Genesis Device's implications) without also watching Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Forget that even number/odd number nonsense about the Star Trek movies, this one is just as essential!Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1 Episode 22 “Space Seed”And just in case you've never done this, we also highly recommend “Space Seed” which first introduced Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh. It doesn't have anything to do with terraforming in space, but it's a classic bit of Star Trek lore, nonetheless!The Evolution of Planet EarthWant a real life taste of what the Genesis Device does…except over the course of millions/billions of years instead of minutes/hours? This video is pretty cool.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! TerraformingWhile still primarily a science fiction concept, the idea of using terraforming to make a planet or moon into something that can support life as we know it is gaining considerable steam as we look to our nearest neighbor, Mars. See also: Bionengineering“Is there life on…Venus?”Wait, that's not how the song goes! But the key here is that while Mars gets all the attention as the planet in our solar system with the most potential to support life, there's also a chance that Venus could, as well. Key to that is the presence of phosphine in the atmosphere, which scientists have gone back and forth on, but recently found new evidence that it may be present.“PIXAAAAAAR!”Read more about that funny connection between a beloved animation studio and these beloved Trek movies here.“Colonized by earth bacteria”It doesn't take long, just to give you an idea of how quickly “life finds a way.”The Mars TrilogyTamara brings up Kim Stanley Robinson's acclaimed trilogy about terraforming our nearest planetary neighbor, Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. There's also the follow-up The Martians which is a collection of short stories that expands this universe further.Project Hail MaryAnother Tamara recommendation this week is the Hugo Award-nominated Project Hail Mary from sci-fi author Andy Weir. You might also recognize Weir's name as the author of The Martian, which was adapted into a beloved film from director Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.The Wrath of Khan: The Novel!Even if you've seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan dozens of times, Vonda N. McIntyre's superb novelization of the film is full of surprises that will enrich your understanding of the story and your love of Trek in general. For extra credit, follow it up with her equally great (possibly better than the film it's based on!) novelization of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Go back to the very beginning with the first ever episode of Does it Fly? which tackled another iconic Star Trek concept: the transporter. Watch it right here!We're not particularly big on the whole Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate around these parts, so for those folks who love ‘em both, check out our episode on lightsabers right here!FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

This is a live recording of the TrekMovie.com “Star Trek Status Report: 2024 And Beyond” panel held on Saturday, August 3rd at Creation Entertainment’s STLV event in Las Vegas. This is the biggest Star Trek convention of the year and Tony and Laurie from the All Access Star Trek podcast were joined by Matt and Brian from the Shuttle Pod podcast to talk about the current status of the Star Trek franchise, focusing on TV and film, as well as where things are headed with announced, potential, and rumored projects. They also discuss how the changing media and business landscape is impacting the franchise, and what the pending Paramount/Skydance merger could mean for Star Trek.

[Review starts at 21:13] Matt from The Shuttle Pod fills in for Laurie this week to cover the news with Tony. We cover the latest award news, and speculate about the announced Star Trek collaborations, including the one with Doctor Who. There’s also a little casting update for Starfleet Academy and a story tidbit from the “Star Trek Origin Movie.” Turning to Prodigy the guys discuss our latest interview with the Hageman brothers and roll a preview clip of Tony’s brand-new interview with Wil Wheaton. We then run Tony and Laurie’s previously recorded review of Prodigy season 2 episodes 11-15, discussing how the show takes a bit of a pivot in tone, and takes deeper dives into the characters, with some fun diversions along the way. But we still can’t figure out where the show stands on the whole J/C thing. The podcast wraps up with a brief preview of STLV coming in the first week of August, which will include a TrekMovie.com panel.
