The Beastie Boys and Mr. Spock
This isn’t like the last few Trek movies where the die-hards would go to watch it on opening day and then have to go back into the Trek closet come Monday morning.
But there’s one thing that’s been bothering me and I finally put my finger on it. It’s quite possible that the Beastie Boys inadvertently invented Mr. Spock’s Vulcan nerve pinch.
At the very least the Brooklyn rappers prophesied Spock’s existence 200 years before his birth.
