The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular, Episode 3: Star Trek Beyond Trailer, Star Wars: The Force Awakens Score

The month’s humongous sci-fi premiere has arrived with the big-screen debut of the Star Trek Beyond trailer, and PTBN’s Brothers of Discussion, Glenn & Scott Butler, are ON IT. What is there to look forward to, or not, in Star Trek XIII? Other topics covered include the balance of action and ideas in Star Trek movies, Kirk’s characterization, the new uniforms, and the Hater Brigade.

Following that, the BOD give their thoughts on John Williams’ new score to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Where does it lie on the spectrum between the trilogy and prequel scores? Does every Williams action score from the last fifteen years sound the same? How do the new themes measure up? The actual movie might come up as well.
