Episode Description

In this intergalactic episode of Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas, we’re joined by the one and only William Shatner—legendary actor, storyteller, and the man who brought Captain James T. Kirk to life. Shatner is on tour with a special live event that follows screenings of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, where he shares never-before-heard stories from the bridge and beyond.

In this candid conversation, Shatner dives into what made Wrath of Khan such a defining entry in the Star Trek franchise and reflects on the legacy of Captain Kirk—both the character and the mythos that surrounds him. He also opens up about some of his more unconventional opinions, including his musings on flat Earth theories, and how curiosity—not conformity—has always driven him.

From Hollywood to the Final Frontier, this is William Shatner as you’ve never heard him before—only on Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas.
