Trekcast Supplemental: Let's Talk About MK Ultra Mar 17, 2024

Show notes

It's a Star Trek Actor Spotlight. What does that mean? We will review a movie or TV show featuring a Star Trek actor. This week we are taking on the 2022 movie MK Ultra. It stars Captain Pike himself Anson Mount. If you're into conspiracy theory at all, get excited. It's currently on Amazon Prime as of the time of writing this.
MK Ultra is a 2022 American psychological thriller film written and directed by ex-intelligence officer Joseph Sorrentino.[1][2] Based on a true story about the human experimentation program MKUltra conducted by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the 1960s, the film follows Dr. Ford Strauss (Anson Mount), a psychiatrist who gets involved in a government experiment and conspiracy involving the use of psychedelic and other mind-controlling substances. It was released theatrically and on video on demand on October 7, 2022. - from Wikipedia
Stop me if you've heard this one, Paramount says they have a plan for a new Star Trek movie. Speaking of sequels, Black Mirror is returning to their Star Trek-inspired starship the USS Callister. We'll talk the details. Could Star Trek Legacy happen?
One actor gives some words of hope. And speaking of Star Trek Shows, the man himself Alex Kurtzman talks says we may have to wait a little longer for Star Trek Academy.
