About this episode
The episode features a discussion about the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, reflecting on its elements and the context of its original release.
This episode was originally released as an episode of our Star Trek re-cap show, The Nexus on December 29, 2020 “I love how he says ‘Black Hole’ in this movie” - Eric on Elder Spock On this special WHM Vault Unlock, we’re adding some Star Trek to the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza with a lengthy discussion about the better-than-we-remembered 2009 reboot, Star Trek. Were the lens flares really that bad? Are we still cool with the Beasties on the soundtrack? How rad was that Sulu swordplay? And Bones is just throwing around "hobgoblin" in this movie? PLUS: Remember, this was recorded in August 2020, so the months of lockdown madness are in full-effect. It's probably why this episode was three hours long! Star Trek stars Leonard Nimoy, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Ben Cross, Winona Ryder, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Morrison, and Clifton Collins Jr.; directed by J. J. Abrams. This episode is sponsored by Storyblocks! Head to Storyblocks dot com slash WHM to access the human-made stock media library that's essential to your workflow.
