A podcast about the latest new episodes of Star Trek by two higher education faculty, a media prof and a philosophy prof.
We go beyond fan reaction to talk about the character development; story arcs; the production design; and the philosophy, ethics, and lessons learned from the story, which makes sense, given that we are real faculty.
All Mastodon posts are by the media prof, Michael.
@jan We did a podcast about Section31 on March 16 and it is now our 5th most listened to (or downloaded) podcast out of 155 total.
We put it in the middle of the pack of all Star Trek ever produced. The Enterprise D turning into an Aztec temple, Picard devolving into a vole, Star Trek Into Darkness, and of course Spock’s Brain are all empirically worse, we concluded. 🙂 :trek: 🖖
Here's our new podcast about Star Trek: The Search for Spock. We're rewatching the Trek theatrical films while waiting for new Star Trek.

Remember the great day of 5 April 2063, but also the tragedy of 5 April 2385.

"This summer."
One week from today, our podcast drops about the Wrath of Khan.
We'll address the production details, but also the deep themes and Star Trek philosophy seen in the film.
It's a great time for a rewatch. Please plan to join us!
Our main podcast mission is about NEW Star Trek, but we don't expect anything new this year other than Strange New Worlds.
So, we're rewatching the Star Trek movies, about one every three weeks, until SNW comes along. We'll resume the movie rewatches when SNW concludes.
Two weeks from today, we're podcasting about Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (while we wait for the new SNW season).
It's a great time to rewatch, so the movie is fresh in your mind when you join us for the conversation about the production design, themes, and ethics.

New podcast:
Until new Star Trek comes back, we're taking fresh looks at the Star Trek theatrical movies. This time, Star Trek The Motion Picture.
Join us for our rewatch!

A week from today we will podcast about Star Trek The Motion Picture...
Including the themes, ethics, philosophy, and character development (which aren't talked about much anymore).
Rewatch with us.
We're mainly using the TMP version on P+ but any version of the movie will work for you to rewatch with us.
Announcement!
Starting March 16, this podcast will start a new series, going beyond “new” TV Star Trek.
When 10 weeks of Strange New Worlds premieres, we will podcast about them, but for the rest of the year we'll be rewatching the Star Trek theatrical movies.
Often today, fan talk about the movies is only good/bad claims. We’ll apply our trademark examination of the themes, philosophy, and ethics portrayed in the story. Using this approach, we're guaranteed to find meaning in the script/story that is often overlooked.
Rewatch TMP and join us March 16.
With ONLY Strange New Worlds S3 for new Star Trek until 2026, we've been pondering what to do with our podcast so we don't have a months-long hiatus.
Watch for an announcement tomorrow.
Starfleet Academy completes filming, which means it probably won't be on the air this year.

Spoiler: We see problems with this movie, but also some strengths. We're not totally trashing it, like some folks are.
