In its 50th year, Star Trek looks like a franchise set to live long and – well, you get the idea. Star Trek Beyond has blasted into cinemas around the world, and so naturally, we decided to have a big old bumper Empire Podcast spoiler special to mark it. Clocking in at two hours and six minutes, it's marginally longer than the actual film we're here to talk about.
To help us on our two-hour mission, we invited Star Trek Beyond's director, Justin Lin, and its co-writer/co-star, Simon Pegg, into the pod booth for extensive spoilery chats. Plus, we assembled three of Empire's biggest Trek nerds together to discuss the film in sometimes needlessly forensic detail. As ever, there are plentiful spoilers throughout this podcast, so make sure you've seen the film first.
You can listen to the Empire Podcast via our iTunes page, our SoundCloud page, this RSS feed (please note – we've switched to a new feed) or by pressing play below.
