All Access Star Trek - A TrekMovie.com Podcast

Anthony and Laurie sort through the latest on the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger after hearing that the antitrust suit has been settled and talk about what that could mean for Star Trek, as well as the unfulfilled plan of SNW producers to get William Shatner on the show. Then it’s time to talk about Strange New Worlds‘ season 4 finale, “Tomorrow’s Enterprise,” with heaps of praise for Celia Rose Gooding’s performance as two different Uhuras. They wrap up with William Shatner going metal in a Billboard interview and some fascinating facts about late TOS guest star Leslie Parrish. Keep an eye (ear) out this weekend for our in-depth interview with “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” director (and SNW producing director) Chris Fisher.

[Review starts at 9:45] Bob Cesca of the Trek Politics podcast joins Anthony and Laurie this week to review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ season 4 penultimate episode, “Once La’An a Time.”

Anthony and Laurie start with a wrap-up of this year’s Star Trek Day, highlighting some of the more interesting merchandise announcements and looking back at bigger events of the past. Then they review Strange New Worlds‘ “Orders of Magnitude,” which they both agreed was the best Jim Kirk episode yet despite having the flimsiest excuse ever for why he’s back in the Enterprise again. They talk about guest star Joe Morton, Uhura’s heroics, and more, then wrap things up by playing the audio from Tony’s very fun interview with Rebecca Romijn, done on Star Trek Day.

For Star Trek Day 2026 we have a bonus episode of the podcast with an interview with Star Trek superfan and the CEO of the Nacelle Company, Brian Volk-Weiss.

The series is produced by the Nacelle Company and directed by Volk-Weiss. Now the second season picks up where they left off, covering the TNG movies and the Kelvin movies with 5 more episodes, titled The Center Seat II: 60 Years of Star Trek. And it all drops today (Star Trek Day, September 8), Together Tony, Laurie and Brian take a deep dive into the 5-episode second season, all of which dropped today for Star Trek Day. We really get into the weeds on how to make a Star Trek documentary, who were the biggest interviews, how getting people like Rick Berman to open up, coolest insights revealed in season 2, and much more.
