On this very special WLM edition of The Nexus, the guys are chatting about the most overlooked and under-watched Trek film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture! 

How amazingly (and eagerly) does Kirk totally screw over that turd, Captain Decker? Would Lieutenant Commander Sonak still be alive if Kirk hadn't bogarted the transporter controls and just let Rand do her job? Has there been better model work in any other Trek movie? And can we please bring back introductory overtures? Because this Jerry Goldsmith score rules! PLUS: Don't we all want to hang out with College Spock? 

Star Trek: The Motion Picture stars William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Majel Barrett, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Persis Khambatta, Grace Lee Whitney, and noted piece of shit, Stephen Collins as Decker; directed by Robert Wise.

The Nexus is a WHM podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time. Thank you so much for continuing to support this weird thing we do—we couldn't do it without you!

Why has there never been a Disco Bones action figure?

Nathan Lemire

"Well, you didn't make the X-Files" LOL

Sec Def Bill Belicheck was preferable to what we got

Slappy White

I unapologetically love this movie. I love the fx, the fly overs, fly bys and I love the costumes that allow you to see the outline of everyone’s hog.

Matt Doenges

PLEASE do the Trekkies commentary!!!!

Stan Engle

My wife, kiddo, and I all really like this movie. There was a time when the kiddo was watching it almost everyday during the tail end of the pandemic. Gotta pass along a pretty good fan edit of TMP I stumbled across a few years ago. https://vimeo.com/217336882

Winson Paine

The Captain to Commander thing is a navy thing, there is only one captain on a boat and it is the person in charge so any other folks of captain rank are commander while onboard presumably to avoid confusion and out of respect

Drew Stewart

Please, everyone read the novelization. It’s BONKERS. Roddenberry got asked to do the book, so it opens with Admiral Kirk saying how it’s what really happened, despite what you may see in other formats (Gene was fighting with the co-writer of the movie every day). This is after he IMMEDIATELY says the name “James” comes from his mother’s first “love instructor” with NO EXPLANATION. There are footnotes that LITERALLY TALK ABOUT SLASH FICTION, there are indeed boners… it’s everything.

Felipe Sobreiro

Do you think Stephen Collins' is also into Musical Youth?

Melvin shermen

Collage spock is listing to his pop punk and Metalcore

Darryl Bowen

Unless I misses you bringing it up, there was a book I believe Shatner wrote set after he died in Generations where the Borg come and did him up and bring back to life to assassinate someone. Also in it they bring up that VGer was created by the Bprg

Darryl Bowen

Also speaking of slashfiction my late aunt use to write TNG sex stories. She babysat me when I was younger and accidentally came across one and started reading it, she saw and freaked out. Wish I knew if those are floating around anywhere. Also have another aunt who wrote a few Romance/srx novels. Both were Mormon so of course they were into writing weird sex stuff

The Novelization (available on Kindle!) is pretty out there. I bought and read it 20 years ago. It is wild. It has love coaches, Kirk swimming (naked I believe) in San Francisco bay with his girlfriend (who we see in the movie) and some weird new race of humans called New Humans. That is an episode waiting to happen.

Dennis C

BTW I recommend a Side Order of Sleeze episode on "Pretty Maids in a Row." It is a 1971 movie starring Rock Hudson, ‎Angie Dickinson and Telly Savalas; who are in a sex-teen comedy written by Gene Roddenberry! It's on YouTube

Zane Magers

I had to fly out to St Louis and work 14 hrs days for a week, I watched this movie every night in the hotel to try and fall asleep.... i never made it past the 35 min mark 😁 great fucking movie, so comfy and relaxing to throw on.

WarOfTheBees

Trekkies just makes me sad. It's not fun weirdos like American Movie, it's just...sad.

Robin Fry

This is the first film I can remember seeing on the big screen as a kid. My dad took me to see it as he was a big Trek fan. I mainly remember being dazzled by the scale and the trippy effects. He’d also taken me to see Star Wars prior to that but I was far too young to remember that experience.

Sarah Nichols

They make you sad?! That’s…sad. Maybe you should care less about strangers

Jesse Whiting

Bones with horny Santa beard and disco medallion could 100% smash.

WarOfTheBees

Human compassion doesn't cost anything. The movie Trekkies is just mean spirited. It isn't really funny.

martin ford

This movie is a screensaver

Melvin shermen

No my headcanon is spock is into pop punk and Metalcore kid. Or scene guy If bones mcoy is into nu metal and 90s spock is into pop punk and emo and Metalcore With mcoy hate

Melvin shermen

I think whm movie guys make joke about spock being in college

Smaug

That's a good head canon, I dig it! I was just making a cheap joke about "collage" vs "college" Spock

Smaug

Yeah it wasn't for me. Even though it was superficially like Cinemania, Cinemania hit me more like just voyeurism. Whereas Trekkies was mean gawking and poking

Melvin shermen

I understand the joke. I remember whm guys Said spock is pop punk guy. I am like yes. But make him into scene kids. Scene spock let him listing to crappy simple plan music or Metalcore I want mcoy and spock got rival How mush the got worst music tase And also bones hate Metalcore emo pop punk music and also post grunge for being to whiny for his tase

The Great Wheel

Moondragon is an outer space psychic and martial artist. In the comics she is Drax's daughter.

Smaug

Oh man, my Pendleton sweater is my absolute favorite piece of winterwear. It was pricey, but it's the best piece of clothing I've ever bought myself

Frank Grimes

Great america here in the bay area, California was once called paramount's great America. We had top gun, days of thunder, and other paramount licensed rides. I think there was a star trek experience but I don't remember exactly.

Mark D Myers

A plant of living machines, you are describing cybertron.

Drew Stewart

Yeah, Kings Island in Ohio once had walk-around Klingons and Starfleet members. It was a wild time.

Andy Ward

I read the book (I was that kind of kid) and there was definitely talk about the super horniness but I don't specfically recall Sulu having such a problem with boners in the workplace.
