Mind Meld is a 2001 American documentary film in which actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy (pictured) discuss the Star Trek science-fiction franchise and its effects on their lives. Among the topics discussed are the difficult relationships they had with Gene Roddenberry—the creator of Star Trek—and with the several fellow cast members who disliked Shatner. It was in Mind Meld that Nimoy first publicly revealed that he had struggled with alcoholism while he was acting in the 1960s Star Trek television series. Mind Meld attracted some notoriety because of an unintended sound in one scene that became a popular subject of flatulence humor among Star Trek fans and on morning zoo radio programs. Shatner denied being the source of this sound in multiple interviews.
