John Billingsley (Seen in Star Trek: Enterprise as well as Episodes 68 and 154 of Hungry Trilobyte) returns with Jonathan Del Arco (Star Trek: Picard) and the two are led by Natalia Castellanos (Bosch). Their goal is to round up as many Star Trek fans, talent, and supporters for the picketing event United We Trek, which aims to show up at the gates of Paramount Studios on Star Trek Day, September 8. This will voice support for the ongoing strike efforts by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. In this episode, the four of us focus on how the strike efforts can secure the quality of life of many creatives, and also how the AI components threaten people far outside Hollywood if the negotiations fail.

Ronald B. Moore’s work as a Visual Effects Producer was a major influence on Star Trek series such as The Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine. That doesn’t even account for his efforts in timeless movies such as Ghostbusters and The Muppet Movie! Today, Ron comes to Hungry Trilobyte to discuss how hard work can get you into film no matter what your background is, and he and I weigh the pros and cons of TNG being mastered on video rather than film.

Ron tends to keep his internet adventures to his Facebook account, where you’ll see him post about not only his love of Star Trek, but his fondness for pet spiders and his touring with the Enterprise Blues Band.
