It's a Star Trek Actor Spotlight. What does that mean? We will review a movie or TV show featuring a Star Trek actor. This week we are taking on the 2022 movie MK Ultra. It stars Captain Pike himself Anson Mount. If you're into conspiracy theory at all, get excited. It's currently on Amazon Prime as of the time of writing this. 

MK Ultra is a 2022 American psychological thriller film written and directed by ex-intelligence officer Joseph Sorrentino.[1][2] Based on a true story about the human experimentation program MKUltra conducted by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the 1960s, the film follows Dr. Ford Strauss (Anson Mount), a psychiatrist who gets involved in a government experiment and conspiracy involving the use of psychedelic and other mind-controlling substances. It was released theatrically and on video on demand on October 7, 2022. - from Wikipedia
