In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank revisit the 1999 sci-fi comedy classic Galaxy Quest. They break down why the movie has earned cult status, analyze how it parodies and celebrates Star Trek and fandom itself, and share insights from the 2019 documentary Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary. From Tim Allen's heartfelt arc to Alan Rickman's legendary performance and the layered comedy, the duo unpacks what makes this film timeless. They also debate whether Galaxy Quest belongs in their Top 100 Movies list and tease what's next for the franchise. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Welcome and Galaxy Quest intro 00:00:24 First impressions and what holds up visually 00:01:00 Parody vs. praise of fandom 00:02:17 Star Trek influences on Galaxy Quest 00:02:51 All-star cast and career highlights 00:03:59 How the film won over Star Trek actors and fans 00:05:39 Plot breakdown and key story beats 00:08:08 Deeper Star Trek parallels and franchise impact 00:09:15 Character arcs: Jason Nesmith and Alexander Dane 00:12:19 Alan Rickman's standout arc 00:14:52 Sigourney Weaver's layered performance 00:17:37 Classic sci-fi tropes and commentary 00:19:04 Sam Rockwell's redshirt satire 00:21:02 Brandon's arc and fandom representation 00:25:15 Daryl Mitchell's growth and embracing fandom 00:28:31 Tony Shalhoub's iconic chill energy 00:34:15 Alien planet tropes and subversions 00:36:17 Heartbreak and emotional beats with the aliens 00:38:10 Layers of comedy and visual gags 00:41:01 The climactic battle and villain design 00:44:14 Pacing and storytelling craftsmanship 00:45:25 Fun facts from Never Surrender documentary 00:54:00 Rainn Wilson and Justin Long's early roles 00:55:34 Why a modern series could work 00:58:48 Should Galaxy Quest be in the Top 100? 01:01:08 Tease for next episode: How to Train Your Dragon Key Takeaways Galaxy Quest balances parody and heartfelt celebration of Star Trek and fandom. Every main character undergoes a clear arc, moving from cynicism to heroism. Alan Rickman's subtle performance stands out even in a broad comedy. The film smartly deconstructs sci-fi tropes while respecting their place in the genre. Galaxy Quest was ahead of its time in showing the value and meaning of geek culture. The 2019 documentary Never Surrender deepens appreciation for the film's legacy. The upcoming Galaxy Quest series has potential if it honors the original's spirit. Memorable Quotes "You deserve that. And for me, at my best, I need to feel this in my soul to give that to you." (Frank on Alan Rickman's final catchphrase scene) "If the cast of the show was bigger fans of their own show, they would have survived better." (Thomas on how fandom knowledge matters in Galaxy Quest's story) "Tim Allen went from Home Improvement uncertainty to being Buzz Lightyear. This movie came right at that transition." (Frank on Tim Allen's career at the time of Galaxy Quest) "Every conversation moves the story forward. This movie is so well-paced and tight."

Send us a textThis week on Entertain This!, Hayden, Mitch, and Tom boldly venture into the cinematic fever dream that is John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. We're talking about a movie where the hero is arguably the sidekick, ancient Chinese magic involves lightning bolts and floating heads, and the true protagonist might just be Kurt Russell's unparalleled confidence in the face of utter bewilderment. Join us as we try to unpack how this glorious, nonsensical masterpiece manages to be simultaneously one of the greatest action-comedies ever made and a solid argument for why truck drivers should probably stick to driving trucks. We'll dissect Lo Pan's surprisingly convoluted evil plan and ponder whether Jack Burton ever actually understood what was going on. So, buckle up, grab your own questionable beverages, and prepare for a deep dive into the reflex-fueled chaos. At the end of it all, we'll ask you: Did Big Trouble in Little China...

In this episode of Nerd Legion, we dive into 'The Sword and the Sorcerer' (1982), a surprising hit from the 1980s fantasy craze. We explore the film's strengths, including its impressive special effects, compelling acting, and memorable cinematography. We also discuss its humorous tonal inconsistencies and the charm of its goofy yet creative elements, such as the unique three-bladed sword. Director Albert Pyun shows how to maximize each penny of a small budget while lead actor Lee Horsley demonstrates surprising acting chops as Talon in a difficult, mostly unlikeable role. Additionally, comparisons are made with other iconic films and characters of the era, including 'Conan the Barbarian' and 'Dragonslayer,' signaling its relevance and impact on the fantasy genre. Stay tuned for our verdict on whether this cult classic is worth a watch today, and get ready for our coverage of 'Andor' in the next episode.

Today we talk about moral panics. Specifically, the "Video Nasty" moral panic that happened in the UK in the early 1980s, and then again in the 1990s, when there was widespread fear that by kids watching horror movies with titles like Cannibal Holocaust, Flesh for Frankenstein, I Spit on Your Grave, and The Last House on the Left, they would literally be turned into rapists and killers. Was there any justification for this panic? Can hyper-violent or hyper-sexualized media in general erode the morality of children?

GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com One year ago, Taylor Swift dropped her messiest, most divisive album yet: The Tortured Poets Department. Critics rolled their eyes. Fans fought in the comments. But what really happened? And why does this era still haunt us? In this episode, we review the rollout, the reviews, the backlash, and the brilliance. We unpack the most savage takedowns, the misunderstood lyrics, and the cultural moment Taylor tried to close the book on, only for it to linger louder than ever. Was it a flop? A cult classic? Or something even weirder: a misunderstood masterpiece hiding in plain sight?
