Episode 4: Commercial Enterprise
Manage episode 290853216 series 2902895
Star Trek is a show about big dreams, that looks to the best and purest impulses of human nature, and a future without material needs...but it's also a owned by a major studio, and its artistic impulses are tempered by capitalism as much as anything. In this episode we look at how Trek has struggled with the demands of being a major, big-budget franchise that's owned by a corporation, and how the movies in particular have always attempted to be "Trek's big break" but never quite got there (and maybe that's for the best).
Note: we're going to be updating every Monday for nine weeks, but you can listen to more episodes RIGHT NOW by subscribing to Adam's Patreon! The entire run of the show will be available there within a week or two (as soon as we finish editing them).
