40th Anniversary Celebration of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
2026 has been a big year for Star Trek fans! Lots of anniversaries to celebrate, and in this episode, the crew of WE ARE STARFLEET get together to discuss STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME - sometimes better known as, "The one with the whales." As it was collectively re-released in select theaters, we all had an excellent opportunity to return to 1986 San Francisco and experience it on the big screen!
The through-line of character arcs from Wrath of Khan all the way through The Undiscovered Country, the Death & Resurrection of Ch- Er, Spock - Admiral Kirk getting friend-zoned... These things and more are discussed at length in our coverage. Listen now!
*Shout out to Matt Ferguson for the incredible 40th Anniversary Poster!*
