The TrekMovie.com Star Trek Podcast Network

This year’s San Diego Comic-Con was quite a bit different, with pre-recorded virtual panels. Join Brian, Jared Kayla, and Matt as they break down everything from the CBS Star Trek Universe event.

Brian, Kayla, and Matt catch up about the latest goings on with the CBS Star Trek Universe — including ‘Discovery’ season 3, ‘Picard’ season 2, and what 2021 will probably look like for Trek content. Then the crew review “Second Contact” the first episode of the highly anticipated animated comedy ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks.’ And they give their (spoiler free) impressions of the next three episodes.

This week on the podcast, Tony and Laurie recap all the Star Trek Day news, offering up their theories on Discovery‘s “cataclysmic event” and the possibilities for a Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover. They also look at clues that Jason Isaacs might be returning to the franchise, and review “Terminal Provocations,” the latest episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks. As they wrap things up with their Trekbits suggestions, Tony talks about interviewing Bob Justman back in the earliest days of TrekMovie.

Anthony and Laurie are very happy the SAG-AFTRA strike is over! They briefly cover what this could mean for the various Star Trek productions, then keep celebrating good news as Prodigy season 1 has a launch date on Netflix and scored an Emmy nomination. They talk about Walter Koenig joining The 7th Rule podcast, then play interviews they both did with Star Trek: Picard production designer Dave Blass and makeup artist James MacKinnon, done to help promote the new Picard Legacy Blu-ray box set.
