Ethan and Devin are joined by Will Nguyen, aka The Star Trek Communist, for a double-header episode tackling Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), Star Trek (2009), and the franchise more generally. We discuss Star Trek's utopian glimmer, the myth of finding technological solutions to social contradictions, and the sweet fizzy taste of a state-planned economy.
