60: Smooth And Polished And Pretty

Star Trek - The Motion Picture 35th Anniversary.   Thirty-five years ago this week, Star Trek was brought back from the dead in not just a movie, but a full-fledged Motion Picture. In this episode of Standard Orbit, Mike and Drew discuss our first times seeing the film in its various forms, our first impressions, and how our opinion might have changed in the meantime. We rave about the music and the dialog scenes, and try to view it from The Original Generation who had to have been so excited to see their favorite crew on the big screen for the first time.   Hosts Drew Stewart and Mike Schindler   Editor and Producer Drew Stewart   Associate Producers Become one!
