001: THE CAGE Review & Discussion

Star Trek School is in session!

Just like Star Trek itself began, we filmed a pilot episode that originally wasn’t going to air. But we’re pulling it out of the vault anyway.

We learned a lot doing this, and can't wait to do more. Future episodes will include live watch parties, live zoom calls, special guests, and most importantly: lots of learning about Star Trek.

TEE001 - Star Trek: TOS s1e1 "The Cage"
The crew from The Shuttlepod Show sits down and watches the one that started it all: THE CAGE

Resident film/television critic Joe Banno has reviewed The Cage. We all discuss it and the episode and have a lot of fun.

Izaak Brown from Unplanned Trek podcast joins us to hand out medals for best and worst moments and challenges us to a game of The Cage Trivia.

We have a lot of fun and learn a lot about how to do this new show and hope you enjoy learning more about Star Trek as much as we do!
