All Access Star Trek - A TrekMovie.com Podcast

Anthony and Laurie give a quick recap of Star Trek Las Vegas, then talk through the news: The Pitt cast is doing a Star Trek table read, The Center Seat documentary is getting a second season and there’s a new Shatner doc on the way from Trekspert Mark Altman, Star Trek movies are rereleasing in theaters, and Pluto TV is launching new pop-up Trek channels. In the meantime, Mike McMahan has been talking about his hopes for a Lower Decks movie. Then it’s time to review the latest Strange New Worlds episode “A Case of Chiaroscuro,” which they have mixed feelings about. They wrap up with a quick look at Tony’s appearance on Virtual Trek Con and Laurie’s first script for Ranking with Roddenberry..

In this supplemental episode, Tony interviews Martin Quinn (Scotty) and Laurie interviews Dave Foley (Dendru) about the latest Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode, “Human Best Friend.”

Anthony and Laurie are at the big Trek to Vegas convention this week, so there’s no news this week as they pre-recorded their review. They talk about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ latest episode. “Human Best Friend,” digging into the stories they liked (Ortegas/Scotty), the comedy that really worked, and the areas where they felt it didn’t. A mixed bag! Laurie also briefly mention her favorite moment (which she forgot to mention last week) from Michael Dorn’s episode of Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny. You can listen to our panel at STLV here, and look for a supplemental episode tomorrow, featuring interviews with Martin Quinn (Scotty) and guest star Dave Foley. (Kids in the Hall! News Radio!)

This is a special bonus episode for both the TrekMovie podcasts: All Access Star Trek and Shuttle Pod. This is a live recording of the TrekMovie “Star Trek Status Report 2026” panel from Creation’s Trek to Vegas convention in Las Vegas, recorded on the opening day of the convention, Wednesday August 5. On the panel were TrekMovie founder Anthony Pascale along with his All Access Star Trek co-host Laurie Ulster, and Shuttle Pod co-hosts Matt Wright and Brian Drew, all TrekMovie.com editors. We had a spirited discussion about how Star Trek is at a pivot point, with things appearing to wind down while there are some some signs of optimism for the future. There were some interesting comments and questions from audience members as well. A regular episode of the All Access Star Trek podcast will post on Friday, with a review of SNW 403, followed by a supplemental featuring interviews with Scotty actor Martin Quinn and an exciting guest star from episode 403. Look for that supplemental to drop on Saturday.

In this supplementary episode, Anthony & Laurie talk with Axelle Carolyn, director of episode 402 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, “The Griffin Incident.” A horror vet and Star Trek fan, Axelle breaks down some specific scenes and talks about the choice to get gory and the unresolved ending.
