‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Review: “Like Chronitons Through The Hourglass” + News

Anthony and Laurie discuss the latest interview with the filmmakers writing the next (not-yet-greenlit) Star Trek movie, list some of the events and promotions around Star Trek’s upcoming 60th anniversary (next week!), and talk about what to expect at New York Comic Con. Then they review this week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass,” with a lot of discussion about the choice of soap opera as genre, the tone of genres in general, and what really worked in the episode outside of that, as well as guest stars Rhys Darby and Deidre Hall. They wrap up with a reminder to check out Noah Wyle and The Pitt cast reading “The Man Trap” and Michelle Hurd on the Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny podcast. Look for a supplemental episode this weekend featuring Laurie’s interview with writers Dana Horgan & Bill Wolkoff and director Anna Dokoza.
