Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Tony and Carl talk Star Trek, and specifically how modern writers of the show are tackling societal change in comparison to older series. Have they gone too far?

Plus! Every 5 years, the BBFC do a survey about what audiences are okay with in modern movies, and it suggests a snapshot of where Britain is as a culture. What does it reveal?

And finally, Carl explains to a surprised Tony just how much The Sun newspaper in the UK has changed over time into a much more liberal proposition than it always seemed. Will Tony now need to buy one?
