STAR TREK, geek culture, and doomsday cults? We head down the WTF rabbit hole as we investigate Trek 3, Simon Pegg, and the government’s secret agenda against sci-fi shows. Plus the studio behind Star Trek Beyond is worried that the script is too “Star Trek-y”, whatever that means!! Dan Casey slaps on a tin foil hat to get to the bottom of all of this for Nerdist News.
