Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Feat. Christopher Jay from Saturday Morning Podcast) Ep. 217

About this episode

Zo and Chris discuss the film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, exploring its themes, characters, and trivia.

Zo and Chris (a special guest and host of the Saturday Morning Podcast) embark on a trek to the final frontier. They board the USS Enterprise, but, unbeknownst to them, they are heading for a place that should not exist - a planet at the center of the galaxy where God is said to exist. This excursion, they've heard, is lead by a mysterious preacher named Sybok who is a Vulcan who has embraced his emotions. How Sybok convinced Captain Kirk, Captain Spock and Doctor McCoy to risk the safety of the ship in an attempt to cross The Great Barrier at the center of the Milky Way is anyone's guess. Was he really that convincing or was it mind control? 00:13:58 Opening Credits for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly 00:36:57 Favorite Parts of the 1989 film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier 01:43:35 Trivia from the comedy - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier 02:16:16 Critics' Thoughts on William Shatner's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier The Saturday Morning Podcast Links Link Tree: linktr.ee/SatMornPod Twitter: https://twitter.com/SatMornPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/satmornpod/ Bluesky…
