On this episode, I  join in on a roundtable conversation with Jess Bush and Babs Olusanmokun,  who play Nurse Christine Chappell and Dr. M'Benga respectively in Star Trek Strange New Worlds.  They share their experiences with fight choreography training, the portrayal of Majel's character, and the love for their jobs on Star Trek. The conversation includes the embracing of history and  respect in the workplace, the complex interplay between ambition and avoidance in Chapel's character, and a desire for further exploration of queer representation on the show.  Jess Bush "The main thing that I took from Magel's character and also from Majel herself, I think, is that she is, like,  she's pretty Badass, like, the way that she got her way into Star Trek and what she wanted for Nurse  Chapel, which  probably wasn't fully satisfied." Babs Olusanmokun (On being physical) "Just to be clear. Intellect plus physicality, just to be clear. Yes. Right. Yeah. No, it's exciting. It's exciting,  it's lovely, it's dynamic and it's interesting and it's kicking ass. But there is more under it than just  kicking ass. It's protecting those around him. It's protecting his shipmates.

Byte Jess Bush And Babs Olusanmokun

The Star Trek posts continue! A couple of episodes ago I spoke to writer, producer and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” Co-Executive Producer Akela Cooper. Then I caught up with Strange New Worlds actress Celia Rose Gooding who plays Uhura. This episode I’m talking to the ship’s doctor Babs Olusanmokun aka Dr. Mbenga about that magical episode 8 that was straight out of a fairytale! In  “The Elysian Kingdom” the entire ship is taken over by an entity that turns Captain Pike and his crew into fairytale characters that suspiciously resemble Dr. Menga’s daughter’s favorite book. I spoke to Olusanmokun about what it’s been like joining this larger than life cast and what this very special episode meant to him.
