Star Trek, Gladiator, Skyfall - The Stories Behind the Names with John Logan
About this episode
In this episode, John Logan sits down to reflect on a career shaped by bold choices and stories that have defined modern film, television, and theater... from Gladiator and Skyfall to Star Trek, Broadway, and beyond.
It’s a candid, wide-ranging look at the moments and relationships that shaped his path as a writer, dramatist, and creative force. We talk about storytelling at scale, protecting the soul of a franchise, collaborating with iconic performers and directors, and what it means to create work that lasts.
Dropping Names ...and other things, is a podcast featuring Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes stepping away from the spotlight to share the real stories... the fans, the friendships, the near-misses, the unexpected moments, and the names you never thought they’d drop.
