Hollywood keeps telling us budgets are “bigger than ever”… but where is all that money really going? 🤔
In this episode of Old Man Yelling at Star Trek, we dive deep into the real cost of making a modern Star Trek series—from jaw-dropping per-episode budgets to CGI overload, bloated production pipelines, and whether any of it actually shows up on screen.
We’re breaking down shows like Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard, Lower Decks, and Prodigy to compare what they cost vs what we actually get as fans. Is modern Trek delivering value… or just burning latinum?
Expect numbers, comparisons to classic Trek, and a few spicy takes about whether Star Trek has lost the ability to do more with less.
If you’ve ever wondered why modern Trek feels so expensive—but sometimes looks… questionable—this one’s for you.
🔥 Topics include:
• Cost per episode breakdowns
• Why streaming budgets are skyrocketing
• Practical effects vs CGI
• Animation vs live-action costs
