Episode 89: Karl Urban Reveals His Favorite Star Trek Movie and Episodes

Dammit, Jim -- he's a doctor, not a podcast guest! Karl Urban beams in to Transporter Room 3 for a chat about Star Trek Beyond, his favorite TOS episodes, and why he thinks The Motion Picture is the best Trek movie!

Yep, this is the second part of our Star Trek Beyond Fan Event-palooza. Last episode we broke down (like a degraded transporter pattern) all the details on the footage shown at that event, and now we talk to Doctor “Bones” McCoy himself about those scenes and more. Do you need a convincing argument for why Star Trek: The Motion Picture is way better than most people give it credit for? Then listen to what Urban has to say…



And of course we also pay tribute to another Red Shirt of the Week -- a whole bunch of them, actually. These guys may not have been Starfleet, but they sure loved them some ketracel-white…
