Beam Me Up: A Star Trek Podcast Brent Allen

This is a re-release of our very first episode, the Corbomite Manuever.  For some reason, when we ported our show over to a new podcast hosting platform, the first two episodes refused to port.  So here it is again, so all of those who are just joining us, or maybe even revisiting the journey.

This is Star Trek First Watch/Rewatch Podcast.
 
Matt doesn't know anything about Star Trek.  Brent has been a Trekkie for over 20 years, having watched every episode and movie multiple times.
Join Matt as he explores for the first time why is Trek the Cultural Phenomenon that it is today.  Relive all those early moment when you first watched Trek.  But since there are over 740+ hours of Star Trek Episodes and 13 movies, Brent's take will be to find the best 150 or so that best represent what Star Trek is, the story of Star Trek, and paint Gene Roddenberry's vision of the Future. 
This episode is Balance of Terror.  
We meet a new bad guy (spoiler alert, these guys stick around for a while).  But we also get a submarine warfare in space episode and we see two commanders going head to head while dealing with deep seeded racism.  Which one will come out on top?  Find out in Balance of Terror.  
If you're watching with us, the next episode will be: Arena

Matt gets familiar with an iconic character in Trek history as well as the 60's camp that TOS often gets labeled with.  What did Matt think of this episode, of the Gorn, and how often has he seen references of the Gorn in pop culture and not known what it is?

Matt meets Khan, the one who many people think is the greatest villain in all of Trek.  Matt will even admit, he was a bit mesmerized by Khan.  Not only that, we also get a lot of in-universe history of what happened between today and the future when we catch up with Kirk and crew.  Lots to discuss and dive into for a first watch of Trek.
