Episode 225 - Star Trek (w/ Friend of the Podcast: Ensign Ian Davies)

(Deep Dive begins at 34:20)

Live long and prosper. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam & Georgia (Megs is off on the USS Kelvin) as we're off to Vulcan to stop a madman in the 2009 science-fiction reboot, Star Trek and we're joined by Starfleet's finest in Ensign Ian Davies as we complete our training. We're preparing for the Kobayashi Maru in our 225th episode as we discuss:

• Salty fries once again
• What's the appeal of Star Trek and are Trekkies the original nerds?
• We ask Star Trek vs Star Wars
• Can a film be both an accessible jumping on point for new fans and still be rewarding for die-hard fans
• Felix has been commissioning some theme songs for the group
• Whether or not Star Trek is the Best Film Ever
