Star Trek (2009)

When Mike begins to doubt whether he is fit to hold the rank of Acting Store Manager, an old friend appears from the store’s air vents with the perfect late 2000’s reboot to help coach Mike on his leadership difficulties.
Acting Managers Log, Stardate...unknown (time’s weird in the Wasteland). Dave has been gone for a month and I'm already feeling...uneasy. I’ll admit, the burden of his duties has taken me off guard. I had assumed that Dave was a lazy, do-nothing leader who relegated all of the grunt work to myself. Alas, I have found that Dave’s duties include hobnobbing with the Barons of Bartertown, making supply runs to Citadel, and collecting payment on late fees from the mutants in Sector 5...by any means necessary. It’s hard work, and I'm beginning to doubt my abilities as a leader.
Thankfully, Jackie popped in for her monthly visit to skim some of our irradiated Skittles and offered some leadership tips, courtesy of the 2009 J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek. If this film has taught me anything, the key to being a good leader is to have sex with a lot of women and get choked out...a lot. Needless to say, I am less enthused about the latter.
Listen as we discuss a remake that ditches the metaphors and introspectiveness of the original in favor of sexiness and ‘splosions; we compare Leonard Nimoy’s wholesome Twitter history to William Shatner’s bizarre rant-scapade; and finally, we ask the all important question, “Who let Kirk bring an apple on the Kobayashi Maru test?!”.
