Everything GREAT About Galaxy Quest!

[00:09] I'm going to try to keep my geek flag

[00:11] low here, but even the first notes of

[00:12] the score get my little Trekky heart

[00:14] hyped up. It's not Star Trek, but it is.

[00:17] Somehow they own all the horns. And

[00:18] that's a Galaxy Quest style Galaxy Quest

[00:20] title card for Galaxy Quest. So,

[00:24] obviously, each character has a Trek

[00:25] counterpart, while the show itself was

[00:26] meant as a blend of the ' 60s and '8s

[00:28] eras. I think Weaver's character feels

[00:30] mostly like Troy out of all the female

[00:32] bridge crew. She was minorly sexualized

[00:34] with some occasional cleavage, some 80s

[00:35] aerobic stretching, and but Tawnie also

[00:39] has a little uhura in her. She did show

[00:40] belly button in season 2, but Gwen isn't

[00:42] playing the communications officer or

[00:44] the counselor.

[00:45] >> Systems register functional.

[00:47] >> All systems are working, Commander.

[00:49] >> Wait, is she actually just the human

[00:50] representation of the computer? Major

[00:52] Barrett Rodenberry in the flesh. May she

[00:54] rest in peace. But like not when she was

[00:56] nurse Chapel or Wana who did actually go

[00:58] naked for a wedding as is the betazoid

[01:00] tradition. I swear my geek flag is

[01:02] basically down. And yes, you should

[01:03] brush up on the actor's names. The names

[01:05] of the actors they're playing as well as

[01:06] their characters names because I'm going

[01:08] to use all of them all the time. If I

[01:10] had to suffer, so do you. Mullet already

[01:12] some Kirk Lazarus style shenanigans, but

[01:14] it's less a jab at method acting and

[01:16] instead mocking Hollywood's practice of

[01:17] the past of casting non-Asian actors for

[01:19] Asian roles. Ironically, Tony Shaloo is

[01:22] Lebanese, which is technically Asian,

[01:24] but he's credited as Fred Quan, even

[01:26] though that's not really his name, as we

[01:27] find out later. And the character's name

[01:29] is Chen, and he squints. It's almost too

[01:32] much, but it's real. At least they

[01:34] didn't do the Scotch tape.

[01:35] >> Never give up. Never surrender.

[01:37] >> It's no make it so, but it's a good

[01:39] catchphrase.

[01:40] >> Activate the Omega 13.

[01:45] And this is right on the money as both

[01:47] an elbow nudge to the next generation

[01:48] that loved to do two-parters with a huge

[01:50] cliffhanger where part two was the first

[01:51] episode of the next season and kind of

[01:53] epitomizes the entire film since it's a

[01:55] silly throwaway joke that becomes well

[01:58] everything. What I mean is omega 13

[02:00] shadowing. Loving the aspect ratio shift

[02:02] given us 43 for the show and slowly

[02:04] sliding out to widescreen for our movie.

[02:06] Almost as shocking as Kirk's demeanor in

[02:07] the motion picture or Alexander

[02:09] explained in one shot. Rest in peace

[02:10] Alan Rickman who is always a win. I

[02:12] played Richard the third.

[02:13] >> Five curtain calls.

[02:15] >> There were five curtain calls. I was an

[02:16] actor once. Damn it. Now look at me.

[02:18] Look at me.

[02:18] >> He really truly was. Alexander is

[02:20] primarily both Leonard Nemo and Spock.

[02:21] Nemo even titled his autobiography, I am

[02:23] not Spock, but Dr. Lazarus also has the

[02:25] over-the-top prosthetics and makeup like

[02:27] warf. Ultimately a real Tuix if you

[02:29] will. A sporf or a war if you won't.

[02:31] >> I mean, my TV guide interview was six

[02:33] paragraphs about my boobs and how they

[02:36] fit into my suit.

[02:37] >> I'd say to this day, but I can't totally

[02:39] prove it. The ScarJo interview is famous

[02:40] at this point. Hey, they are going to go

[02:42] on the adventure of a lifetime.

[02:43] >> For those four seasons, we developed the

[02:46] same affection for the crew as the crew

[02:48] had for each other. I mean, these

[02:49] weren't just adventurers exploring

[02:52] space.

[02:53] >> These were friends. Guy is obviously

[02:55] just stalling for time, but he's also

[02:56] totally right. Bones and Peard and

[02:58] Garrick and Paris and Jet and now Tendy

[03:00] and Pike are all my besties. Also, there

[03:02] only being four seasons makes them line

[03:03] up much more with the original series,

[03:05] which makes the show a cult classic,

[03:06] meaning the fans, well, you get it.

[03:08] >> There he goes.

[03:09] >> Alexander, WAIT. GRAB HIM. READY?

[03:11] >> Perfect scene. When we cut back to the

[03:12] green room, Alexander is already walking

[03:14] across hastily and then we see him pack

[03:16] up and grab his coat in the mirror.

[03:17] Amazing blocking and joke construction.

[03:20] >> Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

[03:22] Unless you're a warm welcome.

[03:23] >> The pose, the almost enthusiastic kick,

[03:25] even the saucy synth version of the

[03:26] Galaxy Quest theme. Incredible.

[03:28] >> You will go out there.

[03:30] >> I won't. And nothing you say will make

[03:32] me.

[03:32] >> The show must go on. Daniel.

[03:36] >> Daniel.

[03:37] >> Actors, am I right? But actually, this

[03:38] is our first hint at Neesmouth's true

[03:40] leadership and even more importantly,

[03:41] how much he cares about the fans. That's

[03:43] the only reason he cares if Alexander

[03:45] goes out on stage. The awkward stage

[03:47] run.

[03:47] >> My grandfather's hammer, you shall be

[03:50] avenged.

[03:52] >> Just an incredible setup in Knockdown.

[03:53] He keeps saying he won't say the line

[03:55] again. And so instead, it's blasted from

[03:56] the screen behind him. There's no

[03:58] escaping your past.

[03:59] >> The res

[04:01] full speed ahead, huh?

[04:02] >> So, our Shatner standin is painted as an

[04:04] attention hog, and he is. But I also see

[04:06] a guy who loves his job and his fans

[04:08] >> without my crew. I'm not a commander.

[04:10] Huh? I think we all remember what

[04:12] happened to that beast on Enoch 7,

[04:14] right?

[04:15] >> And like Gwen's about to say it, but

[04:16] this is just good guy behavior. He's

[04:18] talking to a kid, pretending it's real

[04:19] and that he cared about it and also

[04:21] teaching him a lesson about teamwork or

[04:22] something.

[04:23] >> They really do love him.

[04:25] >> Yeah, almost as much as he loves

[04:27] himself.

[04:27] >> I don't know, man. The whole opening is

[04:29] meant to show that he's self-involved,

[04:30] but I'm just seeing a guy that gives the

[04:31] fans what they want and engages with

[04:33] them. My understanding is that most

[04:34] actors have no clue what fans are

[04:36] talking about with specific episodes,

[04:37] let alone the names of one episode

[04:39] planets.

[04:39] >> Enoch 7.

[04:41] >> Well, we've seen them all dozens of

[04:42] times. It was just the once for them.

[04:43] >> You and the commander kind of had a

[04:45] thing, did you?

[04:47] >> No, the commander and I never had a

[04:49] thing.

[04:50] >> I know I wasn't the only one who hoped

[04:51] for a happily ever after for Bard and

[04:53] Crusher.

[04:53] >> They make sure there's a limo at my

[04:54] house.

[04:55] >> The Winston sound Matazar makes when

[04:56] Jason Bokesen. Plenty of homages,

[04:58] references, parodies, what have you. But

[05:00] these three are meant to be Cllingons

[05:02] and whatever IP issues they had to get

[05:03] around ironically made them straight

[05:05] upnosticans.

[05:06] >> Dude, he has no idea he's a

[05:07] laughingstock. Even to his buddies, he's

[05:10] pathetic.

[05:11] >> He is a jackass, but this would be rough

[05:12] to hear. What's also interesting about

[05:14] this is they're at a convention. These

[05:15] guys who don't like him are very much in

[05:16] the minority, but the few negative

[05:18] comments always have a bigger impact on

[05:19] the many positive ones. Tell me how I

[05:21] know.

[05:22] >> It's just a television show, that's all.

[05:24] Okay.

[05:26] >> Right. But

[05:27] >> the fake laugh/sigh is amazing. Justin

[05:29] Long often adopts this vibe, but it's

[05:30] clear he was destined for big things

[05:31] right in this role. Tusk. I'm talking

[05:33] about Tusk. 10 years ago, I would have

[05:35] yelled at Jason for putting Glenn Living

[05:37] on the rocks. But you know what? You do

[05:39] you. Some people say ice or water opens

[05:41] up the flavors. The disparity between

[05:43] Jason and Alexander's living spaces is

[05:45] actually a pretty accurate depiction of

[05:46] the wages between stars of shows and

[05:48] their supporting cast, especially in the

[05:49] 80s and 90s. And it really lands home

[05:51] why they're so upset at him for being

[05:52] late to the convention. Chhatner missed

[05:54] the boat on residuals, but Patrick

[05:55] Stewart would have been making more

[05:56] money from Star Trek reruns than a lot

[05:58] of the bridge crew made while filming.

[06:00] Now they're doing the convention circuit

[06:01] to earn a living, something Jason

[06:02] doesn't seem to even understand. He's

[06:04] just there for the love of the game.

[06:05] >> As long as there's injustice whenever a

[06:08] Targaryen baby cries out,

[06:09] >> "This fine ship

[06:10] >> fine ship."

[06:11] >> Although, back to my earlier point

[06:13] arguing with Laredo, if he's so

[06:14] self-involved that he actually watches

[06:15] the reruns, might have a better grasp on

[06:17] the lore.

[06:18] >> Please, Commander, you are our last

[06:21] hope. In a memorable film full of

[06:23] memorable stuff, Matazar's voice is

[06:25] maybe the most memorable. And

[06:27] unbeknownst to him, Enrico Colton is the

[06:29] one who came up with most of the way The

[06:30] Thurmanians speak and act.

[06:31] >> I am Lank, senior requisition officer.

[06:34] >> Senior to the requisition officer.

[06:35] >> Please let me know if you have any

[06:36] requirements.

[06:37] >> It's crazy how well Dwight fits in with

[06:38] the Theurians, but he was too busy, so

[06:40] he was relegated to coke getter.

[06:41] >> Doesn't she talk?

[06:43] >> Her translator is broken.

[06:47] >> Points for trying.

[06:48] >> I understand.

[06:49] >> I got most of it in the car. Saras is

[06:51] the bad guy, right?

[06:51] >> Honestly impressive that he picked that

[06:53] up whilst it's hung over.

[06:54] >> Captured our females for his own

[06:55] demented purposes.

[06:56] >> This sequence is fantastic. Nismouth

[06:58] keeps wandering off track, so Loliari

[07:00] has to gingerly redirect him all while

[07:01] trying to catch him up to speed on the

[07:02] grizzly details. And the specifically

[07:05] fixed her translator since it seemed

[07:06] like Commander Quincy would be most

[07:07] receptive to her.

[07:08] >> Sarah's Dominion in greater detail.

[07:10] >> How you doing?

[07:11] >> What's your name?

[07:14] >> The purely green huge ship is so Star

[07:16] Trek as well as the fantastic practical

[07:17] effects with amazing design. Love

[07:19] Allen's little pause at seeing Saras for

[07:21] the first time. Like a Wait, what?

[07:22] >> Let's spire blue particle cannons full

[07:25] red particle cannons full.

[07:30] Love that you can hear the explosions in

[07:32] the background. Ha, there's Sus's ship

[07:34] on fire. While some of the CGI is a

[07:35] little outdated, the sequence is great.

[07:37] the concept of the breathable goop pod

[07:39] transport thing. Jason standing on the

[07:40] launchpad staring at the expanse of a

[07:42] part of the universe he didn't even know

[07:43] existed being shotgun through the

[07:45] universe and then maybe the best shot of

[07:46] the film traveling through a wormhole to

[07:48] then pull back from Jason's eye

[07:50] >> by Grathar's hammer.

[07:54] What a savings.

[07:56] >> Amazing delivery. The pregnant pause

[07:58] just aces.

[07:59] >> Who knows the next time he'll ask us?

[08:01] >> Fred, he was drunk. You really think he

[08:02] was talking about a job?

[08:08] Jason's mansion versus their tiny

[08:09] apartments notwithstanding. It still

[08:11] went right over my head at 14 just how

[08:13] desperate these guys were. They're

[08:14] taking Teimu Radio Shack spokesperson

[08:16] gigs and the only reason they decide to

[08:17] go with him is because they need the

[08:18] money.

[08:19] >> But you live with your mother.

[08:20] >> Dang, that's so quick. Good for her for

[08:21] not taking any of Guy's whatever that

[08:23] was. Sam Rockwell's hunched in on

[08:25] himself pose is stellar. Genius move to

[08:28] not let the audience know what the

[08:29] Theians actually look like until now.

[08:30] We're experiencing these gooey muppets

[08:32] for the first time just like the crew.

[08:33] Of course they go to Tawnie with the

[08:35] speculum. Sexism.

[08:37] >> Who wants the grand tour?

[08:42] >> Sam Rockwell is always a win.

[08:45] >> Anybody else?

[08:45] >> But that might be Tim Allen's best line

[08:47] in the entire movie. It's just a perfect

[08:48] scene. Gwen's flinch when Guy starts

[08:50] screaming.

[08:51] >> That was a hell of a thing.

[08:55] >> What's wrong with him?

[08:56] >> Fred's unflapableness is genuinely

[08:57] something I aspire to.

[08:58] >> Dr. Lazarus. Dr. Lazarus. Dr.

[09:03] Lieutenant Madison,

[09:06] >> you

[09:08] know us.

[09:09] >> It is sort of surprising that Star Trek

[09:11] didn't make this movie because it would

[09:12] be fun to see the actors pretending to

[09:14] be honored as the characters they played

[09:15] by people who are technically fans. Cuz

[09:18] like when Picard landed on a random

[09:19] planet, no one knew him. He should

[09:20] finally get the respect he deserves.

[09:22] >> You've been watching the show,

[09:23] Lieutenant. Historical documents.

[09:26] >> We need more films with this concept.

[09:28] The only ones I can think of are This

[09:29] and Three Amigos, and they're both

[09:30] amazing films. We have modeled every

[09:32] aspect of our society from your example

[09:35] and it has saved us.

[09:37] >> If only we could do that.

[09:39] >> Would you guys like to see the ship?

[09:41] >> And continuing to rebuff the idea that

[09:43] Nezith is just a narcissist. This

[09:44] genuinely excited him. Beyond just being

[09:46] in space, seeing the show come to life

[09:48] hips him up. He's actually watching for

[09:49] their reactions before looking at the

[09:51] ship again.

[09:51] >> We're just here to negotiate this guy

[09:53] Sarah's surrender. It's no big deal.

[09:55] >> Optimism. I mean, if he's got one flaw,

[09:57] it's that everything has always gone my

[09:59] 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.
