2024 First Contact Day Special - Star Trek: The Motion Picture (266)

39 years to go until the big day and Kneel Before Pod continues our annual coverage of Star Trek to celebrate. This year we cover Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The conversation covers Star Trek making the jump to the big screen, the potential loss of this sort of storytelling and pacing.

Craig McKenzie can be found on this very site and over on We Are Starfleet on the We Made This podcast network. Angus Ballantine can be found on this very site and over on SoundCloud.
