The Arkham Sessions, Ep. 247 – SDCC 2025: The Psychology of Star Trek vs. Star Wars, Episode VII
This is not your typical space battle! Turbocharged with brain science and fun facts, this discussion will explore, explain, and celebrate the “psy” in sci-fi! Squaring off are pop culture psychologists Dr. Drea Letamendi (UCLA, The Arkham Sessions) and Dr. Ali Mattu (YouTube’s Dr. Ali), who will team up with the persuasive viewpoints of guests Ronald D. Moore (writer, Star Trek: The Next Generation; Deep Space Nine) and Diana Lee Inosanto (actress, Ahsoka; Star Wars: Tales of the Empire). Impartially moderated by Brian Ward (The Arkham Sessions).
