Star Trek Beyond has arrived, and The Glenn Butler Podcast
Hour Spectacular is ON IT. In this reaction show, Glenn & Scott
follow their Star Trek vault series with their take on the
fiftieth-anniversary film offering, including a spoiler-free section to
start. After that they discuss the villain’s motivations, Starfleet’s
mission, Kirk’s journey, the nature of family, and much more. The
occasion of Rihanna’s contribution brings up the history of Star Trek movies’ engagement with the pop music. Also, of course, the film must deal with the losses of Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin.
The spoiler-free section at the beginning of the show contains no spoilers for anything. The rest of the show contains SPOILERS for Star Trek Beyond, the Destiny trilogy, two Harry Potter books, and amazingly enough, the yet-to-be-written Star Trek 14.
If you have any questions or suggested topics for a future Star Trek mailbag episode of the Spectacular, contact Glenn (Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook)

complete, the mailbag episode looms ever closer, so get your questions
