Ep. 99 Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

“Jim, you don't ask the Almighty for his I.D.” It’s something you
didn’t dream was possible, the unlikeliest scenario in all the
universe: four people sitting down together in praise of Star Trek
V: The Final Frontier. Hosts John Cribbs and Christopher Funderburg
are joined by a pair of friends the show (perhaps the best friends
of the show), John Arminio and Bill Teck, in defense of one of the
least-defended films in all of le cinema. The group discusses the
pros (and undeniable cons) of the film: from the brilliant casting
of virtual unknown Laurence Luckinbill as the Vulcan prophet Sybok
to what makes a Star Trek film Star Trek-y to how the success and
genial humor of Star Trek IV got the series pointed in the wrong
direction. Each of the group has a different perspective and
relationship to the series, so the discussion approaches from a
variety of directions the seemingly unapproachable task of recusing
the film’s reputation. Join us for a trip to the great beyond and
the fraudulence to be found there. Support our Patreon:
