007 - Spidey’s Brand New Day and Star Trek Horror with Axelle Carolyn

Welcome back to The STARLOG Podcast!

In this episode, Jordan and Dave have also seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day like a lot of you, since it has recorded the largest domestic box-office take ever since we recorded this episode. After some Spidey-Talk, Jordan horrifies Dave with the true story of zombie sea cucumbers. Then, in the STARLOG Archive, a passionate essay against jackboot fandom cosplay from the early 1980s.

This week’s guest is Axelle Carolyn, the director of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episode 2 “The Griffin Incident.” Carolyn tells Jordan and Dave about the nitty gritty details of bringing the horror genre to Star Trek and where to look for spooky phantoms in the background of her episode. Make sure to have watched “The Griffin Incident,” as this conversation covers the shocking moments in the episode.

Next week, Director Louis Letterrier beams aboard the STARLOG podcast to talk about his newest Netflix movie The Last House starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura as the parents of a family trapped inside.
