065 - The Axanar Rules

Published: June 28, 2016, 12:02 p.m.

In this week's episode, we'll take an in-depth look at the new Fan Film Guidelines released by CBS last week!

These guidelines seem to change fan films as we know them--and they're all the result of one production's actions. For months, Axanar Productions has complained that there were no guidelines. Their constant complaining has prompted CBS to give them exactly what they wanted--and now all fan films will have to pay the price. Be careful what you wish for, right?

There are still a lot of unknowns in this process, but we'll examine the new rules as fans and what we believe they translate to.

Plus, there is a LOT of huge news in this episode: Blu-Ray returns, a new Star Trek Beyond trailer, RIHANNA...it's all in Episode 65: The Axanar Rules!
