With the recent passing of Special Effects Supervisor Douglass Trumbull, it seemed only fitting to have a discussion about this movie legend. Trumbull was responsible for the impressive special effects seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. What many don't know, though, is that he joined the prohect after the first special effects house had been fired for producing absolutley nothing that was usable on screen.

Trumbull and his team had just 6 months to create every special effects shot seen in the film: a ridiculously small amount of time!

Yet Trumbull was able to get the shots dine and delivered on time.

Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto share a past episode of the podcast 70s Trek to pay tribute to Doug Trumbull.

In The Unofficial Trek Podcast, hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto give their "Unofficial" take on the Star Trek universe. 

From 2019 through 2019, Bob and Kelly hosted the show 70s Trek. It was a look at the events that brought a cancelled, 1960s TV show back from the dead to become a blockbuster movie in 1979. It was a decade that created a multi-million dollar franchise.

Now Bob and Kelly will look at the minutia, the concepts, the people and the news pertaining to the Star Trek Universe. It's a fascinating time for Star Trek, with a flood of content about it on the internet.

Bob and Kelly will give their "Unofficial" take. Why unofficial? Because their views are just that, they are theirs and are, therefore, "unofficial."

It's a fresh look at Star Trek from two lifelong fans who have been talking Trek for over 35 years! We hope you'll join Bob and Kelly for their next venture, The Unofficial Trek Podcast.
