March 22, 2016 149: For the Love of Spock Premiere
Adam Nimoy's Documentary to Debut at Tribeca Film Festival.

Adam Nimoy's documentary about his dad, Leonard Nimoy, is a project that Adam originally set out to do with his dad; but, of course, circumstance changed that. The project went on to become the most successful documentary project in the history of Kickstarter raising $662,640 from 9,439 backers. Now it's done, and the premiere is coming up in April at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. We look at the project and the screening schedule.

March 19, 2016 148: Revenge Is a Dish Best Served In UHD
4K HDR Wrath of Khan headed our way.

Many fans have been waiting for new prints of the Star Trek films, which have been looking increasingly rough with each release. If you own the Blu-rays, you'll know that these movies don't look quite like what you expected when you dished out for the newer, high-definition format. Paramount is starting to do something about that—at least with the most popular of the films, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Nicholas Meyer revealed on Facebook that a 4K Ultra High Definition (or UHD) release is on the way.

March 18, 2016 176: Citizen Kane: Tokyo Drift
Lin, Part 3: The Fast and
the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Running Time: 1 hour 24
seconds

Less than five months after the
release of Annapolis, Justin Lin was handed the keys
to the Fast and the Furious franchise. His first of four
consecutive sequels was The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo
Drift. The film offers and interesting take on the franchise,
expanding the mythology by focusing on entirely new characters
instead of continuing the story established in the first two.
Written by Chris Morgan, the movie features Lucas Black, Nathalie
Kelley, Bow Wow, and Sung Kang.

In this episode
of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike are joined
by Brandon of Melodic Treks to discuss Lin's
third movie. We look at how it differs from the other films in the
franchise thus far, the members of the crew who are joining Lin
for Star Trek Beyond, and the return of Han
from Better Luck Tomorrow. We also discuss news,
including the release of J.J. Abrams' latest
production, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and the casting of
Shohreh Aghdashloo in Star Trek Beyond.

March 16, 2016 197: Life with the Safeties On
It’s Only a Paper Moon.
Events in Star Trek—even tragic ones—rarely have lasting
consequences. Deep Space Nine changed that with arcs that took
place during the Dominion War. In particular, in the final season,
Nog’s injuries in battle led to a deep exploration of the lasting
impact of a single moment in time—and they did it with the usual
DS9 mix of serious commentary and humor.
In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Zachary
Fruhling and Matthew Rushing to discuss Nog’s retreat to the
holosuite, his struggle to come to terms with the physical and
emotional damage of his experiences in “The Siege of AR-558,” and
the counseling tag-team of Ezri Dax and Vic Fontaine who brought
him back to reality.
In our news segment, we discuss additional shooting (reported as
reshoots by most media) for Star Trek Beyond, a special agreement
between CBS and Paramount that dictated a six-month post-film
waiting period for Star Trek’s return to TV, and Rod Roddenberry
joining the new series as Executive Producer.

March 15, 2016 147: Tuvala's Women of Star Trek
Polynesian Island Nation Issues New Stamps.

The nations of the world are again honoring Star Trek with special issue postage stamps. We talked about Palau and Guyana, who have issued DS9 collections, Liberia, who has issued an Enterprise collection, and of course the U.S., who will have a special 50th anniversary stamp this year. Now we add to the list the small Polynesian island nation of Tuvala, whose new six-stamp sheet honors the women of Star Trek. Plus, there a single-stamp sheet for one very popular character.

March 11, 2016 146: Is 60% a Plan?
Star Trek Fans Outside U.S. Still Waiting for Details.

CBS President Les Moonves recently made comments about interest from international distributors in the new Star Trek series. He said that international money will cover 60% of the production cost. Some took this as a sign that access to Star Trek 2017 will be plentiful for all, regardless of geography. But Moonves actually said nothing. There were no details. We share why we're still concerned and why only the details of an actual plan will put the minds of non-American fans at ease.

March 11, 2016 175: Quick and Angry
Lin, Part 2:
Annapolis.

Running Time: 1 hour 27
seconds

After the success of Better
Luck Tomorrow, Justin Lin was given the opportunity to work on
big studio productions with substantially larger budgets. The first
of these was Annapolis in 2006. The film, starring
James Franco, Tyrese Gibson and Jordan Brewster, looks at a cadet's
first year at the U.S. Naval Academy.

In this episode
of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John take a look
at Lin's second film. We discuss how it effectively uses cliches,
the similarities to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, and how
accurately it portrays the Academy. In news, we remember TNG and
DS9 visual effects supervisor Gary Hutzel, discuss the hiring of
Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth as executive producers on the new
Star Trek series, and touch on the order of Doug Jung's new
pilot, Scalped.

March 09, 2016 144: Return to the City On the Edge of Forever
Ellison's Original Teleplay Audiobook.

If you're a fan who loves Star Trek enough to be reading this, you're probably already familiar with the story and the drama that surrounded the famous TOS episode "The City On the Edge of Forever," and how Harlan Ellison's original story differed significantly from what made it to screen. Now SkyBoat Media, the Los Angeles-based audiobook publisher, is set to bring the original teleplay to life through an audio reenactment—working together with the author. We explore the details of the project and how you can help make it happen.

March 08, 2016 143: Remembering Gary Hutzel
TNG and DS9 Visual Artist Dies at 60.

We've lost a lot of members of the Star Trek family over the past year, and it's always sad. In many cases, we've lost those who worked on The Original Series, which is understandable as we're now in the 50th year since that show premiered. But when we lose those who are much younger, it's especially sad. And that's the case with the latest loss, Gary Hutzel, who has passed away at the young age of 60. He died of an apparent heart attack, according to Hollywood Reporter. We look back at his contributions to Star Trek.
