Star Trek. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the podcast FRANCHISOGRAPHY. Their 13-film mission: to learn the history behind the Star Trek film franchise. To understand the complex and frustrating tug of war between creator Gene Roddenberry, director Robert Wise, and two iconic, very opinionated lead actors. This is 1979’s STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE.

Returning guest Chris O’Connor is back in his best space disco outfit for the first and most controversial entry in this sprawling franchise.
