[0:09] I'm going to try to keep my geek flag
[0:11] low here, but even the first notes of
[0:12] the score get my little Trekky heart
[0:14] hyped up. It's not Star Trek, but it is.
[0:17] Somehow they own all the horns. And
[0:18] that's a Galaxy Quest style Galaxy Quest
[0:20] title card for Galaxy Quest. So,
[0:24] obviously, each character has a Trek
[0:25] counterpart, while the show itself was
[0:26] meant as a blend of the ' 60s and '8s
[0:28] eras. I think Weaver's character feels
[0:30] mostly like Troy out of all the female
[0:32] bridge crew. She was minorly sexualized
[0:34] with some occasional cleavage, some 80s
[0:35] aerobic stretching, and but Tawnie also
[0:39] has a little uhura in her. She did show
[0:40] belly button in season 2, but Gwen isn't
[0:42] playing the communications officer or
[0:44] the counselor.
[0:45] >> Systems register functional.
[0:47] >> All systems are working, Commander.
[0:49] >> Wait, is she actually just the human
[0:50] representation of the computer? Major
[0:52] Barrett Rodenberry in the flesh. May she
[0:54] rest in peace. But like not when she was
[0:56] nurse Chapel or Wana who did actually go
[0:58] naked for a wedding as is the betazoid
[1:00] tradition. I swear my geek flag is
[1:02] basically down. And yes, you should
[1:03] brush up on the actor's names. The names
[1:05] of the actors they're playing as well as
[1:06] their characters names because I'm going
[1:08] to use all of them all the time. If I
[1:10] had to suffer, so do you. Mullet already
[1:12] some Kirk Lazarus style shenanigans, but
[1:14] it's less a jab at method acting and
[1:16] instead mocking Hollywood's practice of
[1:17] the past of casting non-Asian actors for
[1:19] Asian roles. Ironically, Tony Shaloo is
[1:22] Lebanese, which is technically Asian,
[1:24] but he's credited as Fred Quan, even
[1:26] though that's not really his name, as we
[1:27] find out later. And the character's name
[1:29] is Chen, and he squints. It's almost too
[1:32] much, but it's real. At least they
[1:34] didn't do the Scotch tape.
[1:35] >> Never give up. Never surrender.
[1:37] >> It's no make it so, but it's a good
[1:39] catchphrase.
[1:40] >> Activate the Omega 13.
[1:45] And this is right on the money as both
[1:47] an elbow nudge to the next generation
[1:48] that loved to do two-parters with a huge
[1:50] cliffhanger where part two was the first
[1:51] episode of the next season and kind of
[1:53] epitomizes the entire film since it's a
[1:55] silly throwaway joke that becomes well
[1:58] everything. What I mean is omega 13
[2:00] shadowing. Loving the aspect ratio shift
[2:02] given us 43 for the show and slowly
[2:04] sliding out to widescreen for our movie.
[2:06] Almost as shocking as Kirk's demeanor in
[2:07] the motion picture or Alexander
[2:09] explained in one shot. Rest in peace
[2:10] Alan Rickman who is always a win. I
[2:12] played Richard the third.
[2:13] >> Five curtain calls.
[2:15] >> There were five curtain calls. I was an
[2:16] actor once. Damn it. Now look at me.
[2:18] Look at me.
[2:18] >> He really truly was. Alexander is
[2:20] primarily both Leonard Nemo and Spock.
[2:21] Nemo even titled his autobiography, I am
[2:23] not Spock, but Dr. Lazarus also has the
[2:25] over-the-top prosthetics and makeup like
[2:27] warf. Ultimately a real Tuix if you
[2:29] will. A sporf or a war if you won't.
[2:31] >> I mean, my TV guide interview was six
[2:33] paragraphs about my boobs and how they
[2:36] fit into my suit.
[2:37] >> I'd say to this day, but I can't totally
[2:39] prove it. The ScarJo interview is famous
[2:40] at this point. Hey, they are going to go
[2:42] on the adventure of a lifetime.
[2:43] >> For those four seasons, we developed the
[2:46] same affection for the crew as the crew
[2:48] had for each other. I mean, these
[2:49] weren't just adventurers exploring
[2:52] space.
[2:53] >> These were friends. Guy is obviously
[2:55] just stalling for time, but he's also
[2:56] totally right. Bones and Peard and
[2:58] Garrick and Paris and Jet and now Tendy
[3:00] and Pike are all my besties. Also, there
[3:02] only being four seasons makes them line
[3:03] up much more with the original series,
[3:05] which makes the show a cult classic,
[3:06] meaning the fans, well, you get it.
[3:08] >> There he goes.
[3:09] >> Alexander, WAIT. GRAB HIM. READY?
[3:11] >> Perfect scene. When we cut back to the
[3:12] green room, Alexander is already walking
[3:14] across hastily and then we see him pack
[3:16] up and grab his coat in the mirror.
[3:17] Amazing blocking and joke construction.
[3:20] >> Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
[3:22] Unless you're a warm welcome.
[3:23] >> The pose, the almost enthusiastic kick,
[3:25] even the saucy synth version of the
[3:26] Galaxy Quest theme. Incredible.
[3:28] >> You will go out there.
[3:30] >> I won't. And nothing you say will make
[3:32] me.
[3:32] >> The show must go on. Daniel.
[3:36] >> Daniel.
[3:37] >> Actors, am I right? But actually, this
[3:38] is our first hint at Neesmouth's true
[3:40] leadership and even more importantly,
[3:41] how much he cares about the fans. That's
[3:43] the only reason he cares if Alexander
[3:45] goes out on stage. The awkward stage
[3:47] run.
[3:47] >> My grandfather's hammer, you shall be
[3:50] avenged.
[3:52] >> Just an incredible setup in Knockdown.
[3:53] He keeps saying he won't say the line
[3:55] again. And so instead, it's blasted from
[3:56] the screen behind him. There's no
[3:58] escaping your past.
[3:59] >> The res
[4:01] full speed ahead, huh?
[4:02] >> So, our Shatner standin is painted as an
[4:04] attention hog, and he is. But I also see
[4:06] a guy who loves his job and his fans
[4:08] >> without my crew. I'm not a commander.
[4:10] Huh? I think we all remember what
[4:12] happened to that beast on Enoch 7,
[4:14] right?
[4:15] >> And like Gwen's about to say it, but
[4:16] this is just good guy behavior. He's
[4:18] talking to a kid, pretending it's real
[4:19] and that he cared about it and also
[4:21] teaching him a lesson about teamwork or
[4:22] something.
[4:23] >> They really do love him.
[4:25] >> Yeah, almost as much as he loves
[4:27] himself.
[4:27] >> I don't know, man. The whole opening is
[4:29] meant to show that he's self-involved,
[4:30] but I'm just seeing a guy that gives the
[4:31] fans what they want and engages with
[4:33] them. My understanding is that most
[4:34] actors have no clue what fans are
[4:36] talking about with specific episodes,
[4:37] let alone the names of one episode
[4:39] planets.
[4:39] >> Enoch 7.
[4:41] >> Well, we've seen them all dozens of
[4:42] times. It was just the once for them.
[4:43] >> You and the commander kind of had a
[4:45] thing, did you?
[4:47] >> No, the commander and I never had a
[4:49] thing.
[4:50] >> I know I wasn't the only one who hoped
[4:51] for a happily ever after for Bard and
[4:53] Crusher.
[4:53] >> They make sure there's a limo at my
[4:54] house.
[4:55] >> The Winston sound Matazar makes when
[4:56] Jason Bokesen. Plenty of homages,
[4:58] references, parodies, what have you. But
[5:00] these three are meant to be Cllingons
[5:02] and whatever IP issues they had to get
[5:03] around ironically made them straight
[5:05] upnosticans.
[5:06] >> Dude, he has no idea he's a
[5:07] laughingstock. Even to his buddies, he's
[5:10] pathetic.
[5:11] >> He is a jackass, but this would be rough
[5:12] to hear. What's also interesting about
[5:14] this is they're at a convention. These
[5:15] guys who don't like him are very much in
[5:16] the minority, but the few negative
[5:18] comments always have a bigger impact on
[5:19] the many positive ones. Tell me how I
[5:21] know.
[5:22] >> It's just a television show, that's all.
[5:24] Okay.
[5:26] >> Right. But
[5:27] >> the fake laugh/sigh is amazing. Justin
[5:29] Long often adopts this vibe, but it's
[5:30] clear he was destined for big things
[5:31] right in this role. Tusk. I'm talking
[5:33] about Tusk. 10 years ago, I would have
[5:35] yelled at Jason for putting Glenn Living
[5:37] on the rocks. But you know what? You do
[5:39] you. Some people say ice or water opens
[5:41] up the flavors. The disparity between
[5:43] Jason and Alexander's living spaces is
[5:45] actually a pretty accurate depiction of
[5:46] the wages between stars of shows and
[5:48] their supporting cast, especially in the
[5:49] 80s and 90s. And it really lands home
[5:51] why they're so upset at him for being
[5:52] late to the convention. Chhatner missed
[5:54] the boat on residuals, but Patrick
[5:55] Stewart would have been making more
[5:56] money from Star Trek reruns than a lot
[5:58] of the bridge crew made while filming.
[6:00] Now they're doing the convention circuit
[6:01] to earn a living, something Jason
[6:02] doesn't seem to even understand. He's
[6:04] just there for the love of the game.
[6:05] >> As long as there's injustice whenever a
[6:08] Targaryen baby cries out,
[6:09] >> "This fine ship
[6:10] >> fine ship."
[6:11] >> Although, back to my earlier point
[6:13] arguing with Laredo, if he's so
[6:14] self-involved that he actually watches
[6:15] the reruns, might have a better grasp on
[6:17] the lore.
[6:18] >> Please, Commander, you are our last
[6:21] hope. In a memorable film full of
[6:23] memorable stuff, Matazar's voice is
[6:25] maybe the most memorable. And
[6:27] unbeknownst to him, Enrico Colton is the
[6:29] one who came up with most of the way The
[6:30] Thurmanians speak and act.
[6:31] >> I am Lank, senior requisition officer.
[6:34] >> Senior to the requisition officer.
[6:35] >> Please let me know if you have any
[6:36] requirements.
[6:37] >> It's crazy how well Dwight fits in with
[6:38] the Theurians, but he was too busy, so
[6:40] he was relegated to coke getter.
[6:41] >> Doesn't she talk?
[6:43] >> Her translator is broken.
[6:47] >> Points for trying.
[6:48] >> I understand.
[6:49] >> I got most of it in the car. Saras is
[6:51] the bad guy, right?
[6:51] >> Honestly impressive that he picked that
[6:53] up whilst it's hung over.
[6:54] >> Captured our females for his own
[6:55] demented purposes.
[6:56] >> This sequence is fantastic. Nismouth
[6:58] keeps wandering off track, so Loliari
[7:00] has to gingerly redirect him all while
[7:01] trying to catch him up to speed on the
[7:02] grizzly details. And the specifically
[7:05] fixed her translator since it seemed
[7:06] like Commander Quincy would be most
[7:07] receptive to her.
[7:08] >> Sarah's Dominion in greater detail.
[7:10] >> How you doing?
[7:11] >> What's your name?
[7:14] >> The purely green huge ship is so Star
[7:16] Trek as well as the fantastic practical
[7:17] effects with amazing design. Love
[7:19] Allen's little pause at seeing Saras for
[7:21] the first time. Like a Wait, what?
[7:22] >> Let's spire blue particle cannons full
[7:25] red particle cannons full.
[7:30] Love that you can hear the explosions in
[7:32] the background. Ha, there's Sus's ship
[7:34] on fire. While some of the CGI is a
[7:35] little outdated, the sequence is great.
[7:37] the concept of the breathable goop pod
[7:39] transport thing. Jason standing on the
[7:40] launchpad staring at the expanse of a
[7:42] part of the universe he didn't even know
[7:43] existed being shotgun through the
[7:45] universe and then maybe the best shot of
[7:46] the film traveling through a wormhole to
[7:48] then pull back from Jason's eye
[7:50] >> by Grathar's hammer.
[7:54] What a savings.
[7:56] >> Amazing delivery. The pregnant pause
[7:58] just aces.
[7:59] >> Who knows the next time he'll ask us?
[8:01] >> Fred, he was drunk. You really think he
[8:02] was talking about a job?
[8:08] Jason's mansion versus their tiny
[8:09] apartments notwithstanding. It still
[8:11] went right over my head at 14 just how
[8:13] desperate these guys were. They're
[8:14] taking Teimu Radio Shack spokesperson
[8:16] gigs and the only reason they decide to
[8:17] go with him is because they need the
[8:18] money.
[8:19] >> But you live with your mother.
[8:20] >> Dang, that's so quick. Good for her for
[8:21] not taking any of Guy's whatever that
[8:23] was. Sam Rockwell's hunched in on
[8:25] himself pose is stellar. Genius move to
[8:28] not let the audience know what the
[8:29] Theians actually look like until now.
[8:30] We're experiencing these gooey muppets
[8:32] for the first time just like the crew.
[8:33] Of course they go to Tawnie with the
[8:35] speculum. Sexism.
[8:37] >> Who wants the grand tour?
[8:42] >> Sam Rockwell is always a win.
[8:45] >> Anybody else?
[8:45] >> But that might be Tim Allen's best line
[8:47] in the entire movie. It's just a perfect
[8:48] scene. Gwen's flinch when Guy starts
[8:50] screaming.
[8:51] >> That was a hell of a thing.
[8:55] >> What's wrong with him?
[8:56] >> Fred's unflapableness is genuinely
[8:57] something I aspire to.
[8:58] >> Dr. Lazarus. Dr. Lazarus. Dr.
[9:03] Lieutenant Madison,
[9:06] >> you
[9:08] know us.
[9:09] >> It is sort of surprising that Star Trek
[9:11] didn't make this movie because it would
[9:12] be fun to see the actors pretending to
[9:14] be honored as the characters they played
[9:15] by people who are technically fans. Cuz
[9:18] like when Picard landed on a random
[9:19] planet, no one knew him. He should
[9:20] finally get the respect he deserves.
[9:22] >> You've been watching the show,
[9:23] Lieutenant. Historical documents.
[9:26] >> We need more films with this concept.
[9:28] The only ones I can think of are This
[9:29] and Three Amigos, and they're both
[9:30] amazing films. We have modeled every
[9:32] aspect of our society from your example
[9:35] and it has saved us.
[9:37] >> If only we could do that.
[9:39] >> Would you guys like to see the ship?
[9:41] >> And continuing to rebuff the idea that
[9:43] Nezith is just a narcissist. This
[9:44] genuinely excited him. Beyond just being
[9:46] in space, seeing the show come to life
[9:48] hips him up. He's actually watching for
[9:49] their reactions before looking at the
[9:51] ship again.
[9:51] >> We're just here to negotiate this guy
[9:53] Sarah's surrender. It's no big deal.
[9:55] >> Optimism. I mean, if he's got one flaw,
[9:57] it's that everything has always gone my
[9:59] way. Why should that change now? Some
[10:00] thermids have adapted to their human
[10:02] forms better than others. The barracks
[10:04] seemingly continuing on at Infinite and
[10:05] must be a wink at the Enterprise D
[10:07] holding a thousand personnel, but other
[10:08] than lower decks, we mainly see huge
[10:10] stateaterooms for everyone on board.
[10:12] >> I'm just jazzed about being on the show,
[10:14] man.
[10:14] >> He's a fan and obviously also jazzed
[10:16] about seeing his favorite characters in
[10:18] their natural habitats. Just noticing
[10:20] that guy's uniform definitely isn't a
[10:21] uniform. It doesn't match the crew is
[10:23] clearly production level uniform since
[10:25] he wouldn't have been allowed to keep
[10:26] his. He has no patch. The engineering
[10:27] department color doesn't continue into
[10:29] the V and the zipper is totally
[10:30] different. He probably had to buy his at
[10:31] Spirit Halloween.
[10:32] >> They designed those controls after
[10:34] watching you
[10:36] pick her out.
[10:38] >> Okay. Right.
[10:41] >> Even though Jason was the first to
[10:42] experience that it's all real, it
[10:44] clearly hasn't hit him yet, he's still
[10:45] enjoying the idea of being the star and
[10:47] having no consequences. The crew are
[10:48] realizing how bad things are going to
[10:49] get in this moment.
[10:53] >> Okay,
[10:53] >> we can feel them trying to pull the ship
[10:55] away from the wall with their minds. Got
[10:56] to move to the right. Move more to the
[10:58] right.
[10:58] >> But leave it to guy to come right out
[10:59] and say it and really flipping the ship
[11:01] worship from the motion picture on its
[11:02] head. I'm not the only one who thought
[11:03] that was excessive, right? Feel like I
[11:04] bring it up a lot, but I just assume
[11:05] we're all on the same page. It's 4 and
[11:07] 1/2 minutes and every time it cuts back
[11:08] to Kirk, you think they're done, but
[11:10] then they cut back to the ship again.
[11:11] Look, I'm not complaining. Or maybe I
[11:13] am. This video is going to be long.
[11:20] The Theian clap is iconic. So, the space
[11:23] is just built into a destroyed planet. A
[11:25] little nod to GK, the Cllingon delicacy
[11:27] of living serpent worms. And Alexander
[11:29] commits to the craft so much he doesn't
[11:30] even ask for other food. Acting.
[11:32] >> Why don't you just turn it on and see
[11:34] what it does?
[11:36] >> Appropriate reaction from both of them.
[11:37] >> He failed to activate the ship's neutron
[11:40] armor as quickly as I'd hoped on our
[11:42] last encounter.
[11:43] >> Which is why Saras has the dope eye
[11:45] patch, meaning Jason's plan wasn't the
[11:47] worst. Pretty close, though.
[11:49] >> Perhaps I'm NOT AS STUPID AS I AM UGLY.
[11:52] COMMANDER,
[11:53] >> my literal nightmare. Not the homicidal
[11:55] anthropomorphic grasshopper hunting me
[11:57] part, but the accidentally saying
[11:58] something about someone while not
[11:59] realizing they're listening part. You
[12:01] all check your phones to make sure you
[12:02] didn't actually call them too, right?
[12:03] >> Yeah. No, you gave me the word dead
[12:05] signal. I was agreeing with you. Like I
[12:07] know where the hold button is.
[12:08] >> It's a great bit, but it's another stark
[12:10] example of the difference between a real
[12:11] crew. Something Jason believes they are
[12:13] and well, people pretending the thing
[12:16] they actually are.
[12:19] >> Although we got to see them act like
[12:21] they're losing their balance in the
[12:22] opening to compare against the real
[12:23] thing. Now, it's not easy.
[12:26] >> Enthusiasm. The
[12:27] >> generators won't take it. The ship is
[12:30] breaking apart and all that. Just FYI.
[12:33] >> The funniest thing about watching movies
[12:34] for the first time when you're younger
[12:36] is missing the really obvious stuff so
[12:38] that even when you watch it again later,
[12:39] your brain just kind of skips over it at
[12:41] first. And Fred is stoned, right? That's
[12:43] why he's so mellow, always getting
[12:45] snacks. Yeah, I thought it was just his
[12:46] weird cope. Haven't even mentioned the
[12:48] design of the Fatu Craze ship. Something
[12:49] that's only ever on screen for a few
[12:51] seconds at a time. It's like a giant
[12:52] exoskeleton with these little hissing
[12:54] cockroach or pillbug looking accents.
[12:56] They're clearly insecttoid. And did
[12:57] anyone ever feel like the zindy
[12:58] insecttoids and the zindy reptilians
[13:00] came from splitting the fat gray? Look,
[13:02] I know someone out there still loves
[13:03] enterprise. The pole, come on.
[13:06] Guy crawled under the console earlier
[13:08] and he's still there. Survival
[13:09] instincts.
[13:13] We all express our pain in different
[13:14] ways, but honestly, the historical
[13:16] documents showed him as a little Wesley
[13:17] Crusher Tikeke, so this wouldn't be out
[13:19] of character from the point of view. Can
[13:20] it be repaired,
[13:22] >> computer? Can it be repaired?
[13:24] >> Damage to Brillian's fear. Ireparable.
[13:27] >> This is an amazing bit and also oddly
[13:28] preient since Siri ain't listening to
[13:30] you until you say her name.
[13:31] >> You know that is really getting
[13:33] annoying.
[13:33] >> Look, I have one job on this lousy ship.
[13:36] It's stupid, BUT I'M GOING TO DO IT.
[13:38] OKAY,
[13:39] >> we all need to feel valuable, right? But
[13:40] also, I'd like to point out that I
[13:42] haven't made an alien reference yet
[13:43] because Gwen and Ripley are just two
[13:44] completely different beings. So the joke
[13:46] is that her role was boobs, but even in
[13:48] the movie, inside the movie, Sigourney
[13:50] Weaver reinvented herself as a
[13:51] spacewoman.
[13:52] >> Surely you don't think that Gilligan's
[13:54] Island is a
[13:56] >> those poor people. A
[13:58] >> joke you see coming that ends up being
[13:59] so much funnier because of how upset
[14:01] they get.
[14:02] >> You are speaking of
[14:04] >> deception, lies. We have only recently
[14:07] become aware of this concept in our
[14:10] dealings with Saras.
[14:11] >> They're just so innocent. It's
[14:12] heartbreaking. But it makes Saras's
[14:14] design even more brilliant. He's like an
[14:16] evolutionary nightmare for the
[14:17] Theurians. They're some kind of squishy
[14:19] sephalopods with no skeletons, making
[14:21] them defenseless targets for heavily
[14:22] armored deceitful bugs.
[14:30] The Theurian laugh is iconic and it
[14:32] being punctuated with guy's laugh is
[14:34] fantastic.
[14:34] >> That's right. Again, that's Come on.
[14:37] Group hug. Come on.
[14:39] >> Group hugging. Look, I never watched
[14:41] Monk. I might now, but my gut feeling is
[14:42] that Tony Shaloo has always been
[14:44] underutilized and might be one of the
[14:46] funniest people alive. In a show about
[14:48] comedians, he was the funniest part of
[14:49] the marvelous Mrs. Masel. Guy is always
[14:51] the first to do the salute. He was even
[14:53] continuing to hold it when they came in
[14:54] earlier. Fred is eating cracker sticks
[14:56] with cheese dip.
[14:57] >> Guy, you have a last name.
[15:00] >> Do I? DO I?
[15:02] >> I wasn't the giant Sam Rockwell super
[15:04] fan I am now at this point, but I do
[15:05] remember thinking he had a standout
[15:06] performance and my memory was correct.
[15:08] >> Is there air? YOU DON'T KNOW. But bro
[15:10] has clearly never heard of an M-class
[15:12] planet. Did I say Tony Shaloo is always
[15:13] a win? Tony Shaloo is always a win. This
[15:15] is an actual place in Utah called Goblin
[15:17] Valley State Park, and they even set up
[15:18] the desert from space.
[15:19] >> You know, with all that makeup and
[15:20] stuff, I actually thought you were smart
[15:22] for a second.
[15:22] >> I honestly constantly forget that
[15:24] Alexander is wearing makeup and
[15:25] prosthetics. It just kind of becomes
[15:26] him. He's even wearing it in his
[15:28] apartment after the con.
[15:29] >> Something bad happened here.
[15:30] >> Classic away mission setup.
[15:32] >> Could they be the miners?
[15:34] >> Sure. I mean, they're like 3 years old.
[15:38] >> Miners, not miners.
[15:40] You lost me. A minor cute now. In a
[15:44] second they're going to get mean and
[15:46] they're going to get ugly somehow and
[15:47] there's going to be a million more of
[15:48] them.
[15:49] >> Correct. Also, they're called blue
[15:50] demons in the script and that makes them
[15:51] even scarier.
[15:53] >> Hey, there's a cop.
[15:56] >> Did you guys ever watch the show?
[15:58] >> Love that without the actual fan of the
[15:59] show, they'd be cooked. He knows how bad
[16:01] it can get.
[16:01] >> Let's get out of here before one of
[16:03] those things kills guy.
[16:04] >> To be fair, Gwen, you're the one in the
[16:05] red shirt.
[16:06] >> All right. All right. Listen up. Here's
[16:07] the plan. Gwen, Fred, Alex, we'll go
[16:09] down to the sphere. Flegman, you set up
[16:10] a perimeter and Tommy your look at you.
[16:12] >> A Jason used guy's last name to reassure
[16:14] him that he's not gonna die. Ain't no
[16:15] skin of evil here.
[16:17] >> Data never really recovered from
[16:20] >> Does the rolling help?
[16:22] >> It helps.
[16:23] >> Tim was 45. No way that wasn't a double.
[16:25] And yet, I absolutely would have rolled.
[16:27] Fred's got to have his snacks. He's been
[16:29] carrying the bag this entire time.
[16:31] Nah. Everyone being disgusted is perfect
[16:33] because Star Trek definitely had weird
[16:35] looking aliens, but most of the sensient
[16:37] ones were humanoid because CGIing a
[16:39] bunch of mini blue demons wasn't in the
[16:40] budget. And when they came across a
[16:41] gross pig lizard, they had to be
[16:43] professionals about it. But these are
[16:44] actors.
[16:46] >> Now, it's perfectly safe, isn't it, T?
[16:48] >> It has never been successfully tested.
[16:51] >> What did he say?
[16:52] >> Hold, please.
[16:53] >> Excellent delivery.
[16:54] >> It's very exciting to watch the master
[16:55] at the controls. The operation of the
[16:57] conveyor is much more art than science.
[16:59] Gosh, that's a perfect line because of
[17:01] course it is when you're pretending the
[17:02] movements are never the same twice. It's
[17:04] all vibes.
[17:08] >> And it exploded.
[17:10] >> Great moment, but also a nice reminder
[17:11] that the Theurians don't understand
[17:13] lying. They all want to keep it from
[17:14] Jason. And the the pretty much can't or
[17:16] wouldn't even consider it.
[17:17] >> Hello.
[17:21] >> Hold, please.
[17:22] >> Even more excellent delivery this time.
[17:28] Gorg,
[17:29] >> I'm not the guy. I'm not I'm not I'm not
[17:30] a text. I'm afraid Guan. I'm not even
[17:32] Guan's not even my real name. I mean,
[17:33] there it is.
[17:34] >> You construct a weapon. Look around you.
[17:36] Can you form some sort of rudimentary
[17:38] lathe?
[17:40] >> Helpfulness. I don't know if it's the
[17:41] rudimentary or the lathe or just that
[17:43] Sam Rockwell is perfect. But I'm not
[17:45] sure there's a funnier line in the film,
[17:47] especially because I'm 99% sure guy
[17:49] doesn't know what a lathe is. Tim
[17:51] Allen's workout routine. Yeah. Okay. I'm
[17:54] as surprised as you. You can do this,
[17:56] Fred. I know in my heart you're going to
[17:57] save my life.
[17:58] >> I am
[17:59] >> a He's finally captaining.
[18:00] >> Fred.
[18:03] >> Fred, can you hear me?
[18:04] >> Sometimes you just need that little
[18:05] extra love push.
[18:06] >> We have no reason to go back.
[18:08] >> Sure you do. Family, friends. Come on.
[18:10] We are all that is left.
[18:12] >> Oh,
[18:15] I didn't know that. The second half of
[18:16] this movie takes a turn, starting right
[18:18] here, which is honestly great because
[18:19] Star Trek definitely had schlocky
[18:21] moments, but at its heart, it was a
[18:22] serious drama about people.
[18:25] Top-notch sound design for Saras.
[18:27] >> Leave him alone.
[18:28] >> You wish to save the life of this man.
[18:31] >> Yeah.
[18:32] >> None of the character arcs seem
[18:33] implausible. Jason isn't a terrible
[18:35] person. He's just kind of aloof and
[18:36] ignorant and maybe a bit of a dick. So,
[18:38] the fact that his new experiences are
[18:39] changing him makes sense. He's willing
[18:41] to speak up and put himself in danger to
[18:42] save Matazar. Prepare a tear harness for
[18:46] the female.
[18:47] >> We already know Saras has his
[18:49] >> purposes female. So that's a terrifying
[18:51] line.
[18:52] >> You have all done far greater damage
[18:55] than I ever could have.
[18:57] >> Saras is clearly trying to twist the
[18:58] knife, but he's dead wrong. The show
[19:00] objectively saved the theians. And human
[19:02] history is packed with great cultures
[19:04] built on foundational myths, and Galaxy
[19:06] Quest is theirs. It doesn't matter if
[19:07] our societal ideals are rooted in
[19:09] fiction. All that actually matters is
[19:10] that we try to live up to them. We uh we
[19:13] pretended
[19:16] we lied.
[19:18] >> A
[19:19] >> this comes off seeming like a harsher
[19:20] admission than necessary, but beyond
[19:22] acting generally being a lie, they did
[19:24] lie about who they were to the so that's
[19:26] honesty.
[19:30] The most crushing but why in all of
[19:32] film, I am so sorry. God, I am so sorry.
[19:38] The entire scene is so heartbreaking
[19:39] thanks to the abilities of Enrico Colton
[19:41] Tony that he can be in that silly of a
[19:43] costume with that silly of a voice and
[19:44] still put a lump in my throat. And
[19:46] honestly Tim Allen too. I thought Home
[19:48] Improvement rocked growing up, but it's
[19:50] not like the dude is known for his
[19:51] acting chops. Is this his best
[19:52] performance? I think this is his best
[19:54] role ever.
[19:55] >> Lieutenant Laith. Maybe Guy was on to
[19:57] something after all.
[19:58] >> You're starting to act like you did in
[20:00] episode 17. You seen stealing hack.
[20:05] >> Oh, right. untouchable response. Alan
[20:08] Rickman was also underutilized in
[20:10] comedy. I love when great actors pretend
[20:11] to be bad at acting. Guy is an
[20:14] interesting guy.
[20:16] By
[20:19] >> and now they're acting more like a crew,
[20:20] but it's because Jason referenced
[20:22] something they actually did together.
[20:23] They both understand what the next move
[20:25] is without ever explicitly saying it
[20:26] because they did work together for a
[20:28] long time. They really are friends.
[20:30] >> Used to pull your punches.
[20:31] >> It was seen stealing hack.
[20:33] >> And right back at it.
[20:34] >> The door's a little sticky. Did you see
[20:36] that? I'll get one of my boys up here
[20:37] with a can of WD40.
[20:39] >> It reminds me of the time Costello
[20:41] shoots someone and then says she fell
[20:42] funny. And Fred really belongs in space.
[20:44] >> Take Guy and Laar. You find that valve
[20:46] shut off or those the Thurmans run out
[20:47] of hair. And about me? What do I do? You
[20:49] got to practice driving.
[20:50] >> I love that they questioned him the
[20:52] first few times he took charge, but he
[20:53] actually is good at delegating. And man,
[20:55] someone's got to do it.
[20:56] >> Listen to me. This is Jason Nesmouth.
[20:58] >> I play Commander Peter Quincy Tagert of
[21:01] NSEA Protector. We accidentally traded
[21:03] voxes the other day when we bumped into
[21:05] each other.
[21:06] >> Oh, Commander, I see.
[21:10] Okay, that Okay, it's [ __ ] perfect. And
[21:13] bringing Brandon in is possibly the best
[21:15] decision of the entire movie. Not only
[21:17] does it redeem Jason and is totally an
[21:19] unexpected call back, it also elevates
[21:20] the thing about Brandon that Jason
[21:22] mocked, his nerdy knowledge of Galaxy
[21:24] Quest. Brandon's supposed weakness
[21:25] becomes his strength, and that is the
[21:27] type of hero's journey we love at Cinema
[21:29] Global Incorporated United Technologies
[21:31] Corp. TMCR. I'm not a complete brain
[21:33] case. Okay, I understand completely that
[21:35] it's just a TV show.
[21:37] >> There. No ship.
[21:38] >> It's all real. Oh my god. I knew it. I
[21:41] knew it. I knew it.
[21:42] >> Second best moment of the movie. He
[21:44] doesn't hesitate for a second. This is
[21:45] what so many of us wanted when we were
[21:47] kids. Shoot. I'm still hoping this
[21:48] happens. Brandon has a rain meter type
[21:50] customization thing in Galaxy Quest
[21:52] style. He probably coded himself, which
[21:54] is amazing. But Brandon, buddy, no one
[21:56] is getting fooled by weird stuff.
[22:01] Spin guy finally finding his purpose.
[22:03] Look, I never really had an inclination
[22:04] to put bosoms breasting bubbly on my
[22:06] wall as a teen. I had Kobe Jones and
[22:08] Carlos Valdderama cutouts from
[22:09] Eurosport, but whose parents were
[22:10] letting them do this in the '90s? If
[22:12] movies like Don't Tell Mom the
[22:13] babysitter's dead are to be believed, it
[22:15] was a lot of mothers. It's an incredible
[22:17] design, but I do find it genuinely
[22:19] unnerving when Saras's things go up. Uh
[22:22] there will be a slight drop
[22:24] >> fun line. But this is also the scene
[22:26] where they start the meta bit where
[22:27] Gwen's clothes slowly start to rip off
[22:29] because reasons.
[22:30] >> Dumb spinning fan that we have in every
[22:32] single
[22:38] >> All right, that's cool.
[22:39] >> Well, why 13 seconds? That's really not
[22:41] enough time to do anything of any
[22:42] importance.
[22:43] >> Be time to redeem a single mistake.
[22:45] >> For a guy who specifically didn't
[22:46] attempt to model Tagert or Nazmouth
[22:48] after Captain Kirk, he's really starting
[22:49] to capture some of his best qualities.
[22:51] guy. Maybe you're the plucky comic
[22:54] relief. You ever think about that,
[22:57] >> Plucky?
[22:58] >> I mean, he is, but only because Tony
[23:00] Shalub's comedic genius is too powerful
[23:01] to ever be called Plucky. Not a bad
[23:03] reminder that we don't always have to be
[23:04] the person we think others want us to
[23:06] be. Thanks, Fred.
[23:08] >> Are you stunned?
[23:09] >> Apparently, yes.
[23:12] >> Well, screw that.
[23:14] >> A yippy cay Mr. Falcon moment in the
[23:16] final cut of the film because it was
[23:18] planned to be rated R and had lots of
[23:20] profanity. And supposedly Sigourney
[23:21] Weaver tried to make her dub even more
[23:23] obvious and bad in protest of the studio
[23:25] changing the film.
[23:26] >> Unbelievable.
[23:26] >> YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT, MAN.
[23:28] >> And I bet you thought I missed this one,
[23:30] but I sure didn't. He clearly does not
[23:32] say it.
[23:32] >> YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT, MAN.
[23:35] >> ON THE TELEVISION SHOW.
[23:36] >> FORGET IT. I'M NOT DOING IT. THIS
[23:38] EPISODE WAS BADLY WRITTEN.
[23:40] >> GWEN IS all of us when we can't get past
[23:42] awful plot devices. Sometimes even I'm
[23:44] stumped. Not here. Obviously, they're
[23:45] appear because her speech is superb.
[23:47] Sure, it's been 19 minutes of the movie,
[23:48] but it was right after Fred teleported,
[23:50] sorry, digitized, digitally conveyed
[23:52] Jason off the rock planet that Sarah's
[23:54] boarded the ship, so they're probably
[23:55] still in orbit, if decayed a little bit,
[23:57] since no one is on the bridge, as far as
[23:58] we know. I have questions. Pentai has
[24:01] answers. Well, actually, the original
[24:02] R-rated cut also has some answers.
[24:04] >> I'm I'm shot.
[24:08] >> That line delivery is both so funny and
[24:10] so sad. They're so innocent. Quaka,
[24:16] By Grappler's hammer, by the sons of
[24:20] Waran, you shall be
[24:25] avenged.
[24:26] >> There it is. Best moment of the film.
[24:28] They build it up the whole movie as a
[24:29] punchline, so we know it's coming. But
[24:31] Alan Rickman was a true actor. He
[24:33] doesn't do it over the top or vamp it
[24:34] up. He doesn't cry while saying it. He
[24:37] does it subtly like the professional he
[24:39] was. It genuinely rivals the original
[24:41] Wrath of Khan moment that came from
[24:42] another professional. For the record, he
[24:44] wrote, "I am not Spock before Wrath of
[24:46] Khan and wrote, "I am Spock after Wrath
[24:47] of Khan." Alexander did a speedrun of
[24:49] the whole arc, and it still works. It's
[24:51] as if Alexander finally realized what
[24:53] the line meant and how it had grown
[24:54] beyond him. Fun fact, his mom gave him
[24:56] the 10 minutes. She asked at 11:04, and
[24:59] he's running outside now at 122:45, so
[25:01] she had had it.
[25:02] >> 8 7 6 5
[25:07] >> 4. Well, then neither of them say it and
[25:09] they don't kiss. Yeah, there's tension
[25:10] and sure, they might secretly be in love
[25:12] with each other, but more than that,
[25:13] they're friends. Amazing that they don't
[25:15] even try to explain why Gwen's shirt is
[25:16] wide open. It's just a zipper and it's
[25:18] zipped 5 seconds earlier. Ratings,
[25:20] that's why. I'd call it a continuity
[25:22] error, but I honestly don't think it is.
[25:23] For some reason, Saras is much wetter
[25:25] than before, and it makes him look way
[25:27] creepier. Unexplained wetness is a no
[25:29] for me. Also, I'm probably reading into
[25:30] it a bit much, but have you noticed that
[25:32] the Fatuk Cray have oblong pupils like
[25:34] many prey animals have? Makes me think
[25:35] they moved beyond the revolution, which
[25:37] would be an interesting explanation for
[25:38] the ruthlessness.
[25:39] >> You're sweaty.
[25:41] >> That's what that is. Seriously, all the
[25:42] little movements in his head thingies
[25:44] and his shoulder thingies. Honestly,
[25:46] dope plan. The writing of this film is
[25:48] genuinely great.
[25:50] >> God, you're alive.
[25:52] >> ARE THEY just happy noises?
[25:54] >> The ship was a marvel as big as this. A
[25:58] very clever deception indeed.
[26:04] Oh, he's not even mad at Jason. I mean,
[26:06] sure, it's because he doesn't understand
[26:08] that he wasn't actually telling the
[26:09] truth, but still. Iconic laughter,
[26:10] iconic clapping.
[26:11] >> My people have no commander.
[26:13] >> Mazar, I think your people have a great
[26:17] commander.
[26:24] >> Love me a feelood moment.
[26:25] >> Jason, before the black hole, there was
[26:28] an energy surge from Cyrus's ship.
[26:30] >> Honestly, another real Star Trek moment.
[26:32] Spock and data were always telling their
[26:33] respective captains superfluous
[26:34] information and sometimes said captains
[26:36] didn't filter correctly. Smart to shoot
[26:38] this scene in slow motion so no one can
[26:40] nitpick about how far the Omega 13
[26:42] actually sends you back. Also, Guy, the
[26:44] guy who was convinced he would die, is
[26:45] the only guy who isn't shot when Saras's
[26:47] bullets fly. Bye.
[26:52] >> Activate the Omega 13.
[26:57] Again, visual effects that were
[26:59] mind-blowing at the time and are still
[27:00] stellar today.
[27:02] >> Systems register functional.
[27:05] >> All systems are working, Commander.
[27:06] >> Earlier, a horn played when Jason got an
[27:08] idea, and it gave me Mission Impossible
[27:10] feels, and I think it was a coincidence.
[27:16] >> But now, I'm 99% sure they're
[27:18] acknowledging that they have the baddest
[27:19] of the badass ladies on their crew.
[27:22] >> Systems register functional.
[27:24] >> All systems are working, Commander.
[27:30] I enjoy this McGuffin because I think it
[27:32] works for the plot, but it also feels
[27:33] like a very in universe McGuffin that
[27:35] absolutely would have been on the show.
[27:36] Every single Star Trek crew has
[27:38] timeraveled at least a little. Maybe not
[27:39] Lord X, but some discovered a lot of
[27:43] time travel. I'll work on it.
[27:46] >> Never give up. Never surrender.
[27:49] >> Got him. Friendship.
[27:54] >> Now there's a commander.
[27:57] Hey, Brandon, where are you going with
[27:58] all those fireworks?
[27:59] >> The protector got super accelerated
[28:00] coming out of the black hole and it's
[28:02] like nailed the atmosphere at Mark 15,
[28:04] which you guys know is pretty unstable,
[28:06] obviously. So,
[28:07] >> I love that. While sure, Brandon could
[28:09] be 90% sure this wasn't all a big prank.
[28:11] He reacts like he absolutely never
[28:12] doubted it for a second, even when he
[28:14] sees the ship. What a payoff to all our
[28:15] little nerd hearts to have the annoying
[28:17] fans from the convention be the ones to
[28:19] save the day. Third best shot. Look,
[28:21] you're not keeping track. Let's just say
[28:22] this is a phenomenal shot. Definitely a
[28:24] seven dead and dozens injured situation.
[28:26] Apparently the R-rated version had
[28:27] convention goers getting squished and
[28:29] decapitated. It would totally change the
[28:30] tone, but good lord, I think we all want
[28:32] to see that version.
[28:37] >> Takes an experienced MC to turn a
[28:39] literal spaceship crash into an intro.
[28:41] >> YES. WOW. WHAT EFFECTS?
[28:43] >> Someone in the editing room moved that
[28:45] line around, I have no doubt. But Ripley
[28:47] was never shy about her attire.
[28:48] >> Give a big hand. He's British.
[28:50] >> And obviously Ple could deal. Bro is
[28:52] always bringing the laughs. His
[28:53] exasperated smile is aces. He was never
[28:56] a villain on the show, but the crowd
[28:57] immediately knows he's a baddie and
[28:58] shoots him. The role helps and
[29:00] absolutely pumps that Saras goes out
[29:02] like an 80s or '90s villain. He just
[29:04] kind of explodes into a poof of smoke.
[29:06] Borderline corny the way it should be.
[29:08] Love. I actually do root for them. Dang,
[29:10] this movie just keeps on getting us.
[29:12] It's a stupid fake salute. It's been a
[29:14] joke the entire movie. Stop making me
[29:15] feel things. Brandon is living out every
[29:17] Treky's dream. I stand by my assertion
[29:19] that Jason was mostly a decent guy who
[29:21] loved his fans in the show. And since he
[29:23] didn't have to worry about money, was
[29:24] just having fun, but they still give him
[29:26] an arc, which is great. Just because
[29:27] you're not a total piece of crap doesn't
[29:28] mean you don't have room to grow. Salty
[29:31] be damned. She doesn't even get a zipper
[29:32] this time. If you're going to breast
[29:33] bubbly, you might as well bust them
[29:35] bazooms the bosomist. Considering I'm
[29:36] not entirely sure Loliari understands
[29:38] that she's on a show, it makes sense
[29:40] they use her real name as her
[29:41] character's name. Sam Rockwell is always
[29:43] a win. Plus, security chief is
[29:44] definitely what he was born to play.
[29:46] >> Never give up. surrender.
[29:48] >> Love how quiet this is just for the
[29:50] nerds like us who waited till the end of
[29:51] the credits. This is one of those times
[29:53] I'm happy they didn't try a sequel right
[29:55] away cuz they probably would have early
[29:56] as flubbed it. But I'm totally down for
[29:57] a legacy sequel now or limited series
[29:59] like Paramount has been talking about
[30:01] for a decade. But for now, we have this
[30:03] near perfect movie. At least according
[30:04] to David Mamemoth. Actually, he said it
[30:06] was perfect. And it's definitely
[30:07] special. Such a simple concept, but so
[30:09] compelling. I wonder if it would work
[30:11] without the Star Trek Foundation.
[30:12] There's some close versions like Tropic
[30:14] Thunder and like I mentioned, Three
[30:15] Amigos. Nurse Betty comes to mind as
[30:17] well, but it would be hard to do any
[30:18] sci-fi version of this while trying to
[30:20] ignore Star Trek, so it might be
[30:22] impossible. But regardless, the story
[30:23] works on its own. Obviously, you can
[30:25] enjoy Galaxy Quest completely fine
[30:27] without ever even hearing of Star Trek.
[30:29] In fact, I definitely saw this movie
[30:30] long before I got into Star Trek. So,
[30:32] there you have it. End of one. Anyway,
[30:34] the sequel would definitely have an Alan
[30:35] Rickman size hole, so I completely
[30:37] understand why it's been on hold since
[30:38] we lost him. And the truth is that no
[30:40] one can replace him, nor should anyone
[30:42] try. I think you can honor him by
[30:43] casting equally gifted and practiced
[30:45] actors. I believe Bill Nye or Gary
[30:47] Oldman could step in as his equally
[30:48] bitter brother, but then would lay the
[30:50] gravitas on even heavier in an attempt
[30:52] to live up to Rickman/Aexander/
[30:54] Lazarus, but failing spectacularly. Or
[30:56] better yet, cast Daniel Craig and have
[30:57] him play it totally straight, no shame
[30:59] in playing a silly alien doctor. Dames
[31:01] Helen Mirren or Judy Dench would be
[31:02] fantastic choices for a gender swap.
[31:04] Serious renowned stage actors who,
[31:06] instead of rehashing how Rickman felt
[31:07] about it, they go full method. The
[31:09] options are endless. Make it cowards.
[31:11] Next week, a nonm movie.
[31:27] He's finished. He's finished. Alexander,
[31:29] listen to me. It's okay.
