Star Trek: First Contact was ordered whilst the previous film in the series -&amp;nbsp;Generations - was still in cinemas. This time though, there'd be fewer studio mandates, but a very tight production schedule. The pressure with&amp;nbsp;The Big Sick was on getting the script right: it took years of work before the $5m film went before the cameras, and it all ended up with an Oscar nomination. Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support our work at www.patreon.com\/simonbrew.
