Conversations: Alex Kurzman & Noga Landau

In this Conversations segment, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau sit down to discuss the vision behind the franchise’s boldest evolution yet.Set in the 32nd century, Starfleet Academy shifts the focus from command chairs to classrooms, asking how Starfleet’s values are taught, tested, and sometimes challenged by a new generation. Kurtzman and Landau break down why this was the right moment to tell an Academy story, how skepticism and failure are built into the show’s DNA, and why optimism still matters in a future shaped by uncertainty.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/keeping-it-reel-with-filmgordon--4671407/support.
