We talk about the 1999 Sci Fi film!

IS MONSTER PARTY HAVIN' A LAUGH? JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD ponder the age-old question of whether humor and genre topics can live and laugh comfortably together. So, as Elvis Costello might ask… WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT HORROR, SCI-FI, AND FANTASY? Let's face it, making a truly funny horror, sci-fi, or fantasy film or television show can be tricky business. There's a fine line between a loving send-up and an uninformed attack. And even with the best intentions, that doesn't guarantee you'll be watching a knee-slapper. In this side-splitting study of genre jocularity, MONSTER PARTY puts all their funny favorites (and not-so-favorites) to the test. How did films like ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN manage to find the sweet spot between over-the-top comedy and a loving homage to Universal horror films? Is SPACEBALLS a better film than we remember, or should we just push that reassessment aside and watch GALAXY QUEST instead? How do genre TV shows like RED DWARF and WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS generate laughs while presenting often thought-provoking horror and sci-fi concepts? Where do cult classics like DR. STRANGELOVE, REPO MAN, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, and THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI fit in? And are superhero vehicles like THE BOYS, PEACEMAKER, and the DEADPOOL film series the best comedies coming out of Hollywood today? Helping us answer these important questions while tickling our ribs in her own right is a return guest who is no stranger to the world of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy humor. She is a mega-talented writer who has worked on such beloved genre comedy projects as MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 and HANGING WITH DR. Z. Please welcome back… TAMMY GOLDEN! OH, AND YES, WE DID JUST WIN THE 2026 RONDO AWARD FOR BEST PODCAST! OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO ALL THE MONSTER PARTIERS OUT THERE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS HAPPEN! NOW, LET'S START CANVASSING FOR 2027!    

Around the same time that cinematic universes began to dominate every multiplex, one satire landed like a live grenade tossed directly into Hollywood's lap. Co-written, directed by, and starring Ben Stiller, the movie follows the catastrophically doomed production of an over-budget Vietnam War epic whose cast of self-absorbed actors - including Stiller's fading action hero, Jack Black's substance-abusing comedy star, and Robert Downey Jr. as a thespian who goes a little too method - find themselves dropped into a real jungle conflict in a parody proudly following in the footsteps of The Three Amigos and Galaxy Quest. Along with a platoon of scene-stealers and a nearly unrecognizable Tom Cruise, the film took a proverbial machete to prestige filmmaking, Oscar bait performances, and celebrity egos with a ferocity rarely seen in big-budget studio comedies. While it's undeniable that the film was a critical and commercial success, it feels equally unbelievable that Downey's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. But nearly twenty years later, does this savage send-up of Hollywood excess still land laughs with explosive energy, or has "cancel" culture invaded film discourse to the point that merely discussing it feels like wading into a minefield?

Remember Galaxy Quest? The movie sci-fi fans swear is one of the best Star Trek films ever made… despite not actually being Star Trek. Join us as we revisit the cult comedy loaded with an absurdly stacked cast including Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and Tony Shalhoub. By Grabthar's Hammer… we had a lot to talk about.

Back in 1966, a little science fiction show boldly went where no television series had gone before. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, we assembled a pod dedicated to the show that changed TV with its swashbuckling adventure, big ideas, and thoughtful morality tales. We discuss the initial vision for the series and the unforgettable cast who brought it to life — including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, and the rest of that legendary bridge crew. Along the way, we revisit our favorite episodes like “Amok Time” and “The Enemy Within,” and explore why these stories still hold up.  We also shout-out parodies and homages to Trek like Galaxy Quest, Free Enterprise, and the chilling Black Mirror episode “USS Callister.” So grab your communicator, set phasers to fun, and join us as we celebrate sixty years of Star Trek: The Original Series! Special guest host: Warren Drummond (Los Angeles-based storyboard artist and author of "A Hard Day's Work.") Special featured guests: RobinTreks, Harley M, and Thomas N. Perkins. 

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Johnson, Academy Award-winning producer of Rain Man and Emmy Award-winning executive producer of Breaking Bad, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by creative restlessness and uncommon decency. The interview ranges from his transformative partnership with Barry Levinson, which produced Diner, The Natural, and Good Morning Vietnam, to shepherding beloved films like The Notebook, A Little Princess, Donnie Brasco, and Galaxy Quest to championing an unknown writer named Vince Gilligan, Johnson reflects on what it means to serve a director's vision, why he refuses to make the same movie twice, and how audience testing changed the way he thinks about filmmaking.Never the Same Movie Twice (02:14): Johnson explains his resistance to repeating himself across genres. From Galaxy Quest to The Notebook to Breaking Bad, he compares his varied tastes to simply deciding what he wants for breakfast.Meeting Barry Levinson (04:07): Johnson recalls how a chance connection on the Mel Brooks comedy launched one of Hollywood's most fruitful producing partnerships, and what he learned from working alongside a director who always began with character.The Lesson of Good Morning Vietnam (13:12): Johnson describes how audience testing transformed his understanding of filmmaking, including working with the mercurial and brilliant Robin Williams and the pivotal decision to restore a scene with J.T. Walsh.Winning the Oscar for Rain Man (18:29): Johnson reflects on the bittersweet experience of winning Best Picture for a film he credits largely to others, Tom Cruise's underappreciated subtlety in the role, and the one name he forgot to thank from the podium.The Closest Thing to a Perfect Movie (26:08): Johnson singles out Alfonso Cuarón's A Little Princess as the film he holds most dear as a lesson in collaborative craftsmanship.Discovering Vince Gilligan (30:06): In 1988, Johnson read a script by an unknown writer at a Virginia Film Festival jury and knew immediately he was in the presence of singular talent. He details how he championed Gilligan for years before Breaking Bad made the world take notice.The Producer's True Role (38:57): Johnson shares what he hopes listeners take away — that his passion for moviemaking is as alive today as when he started, and that a producer's job is never to claim ownership of a film, but to help a director realize their vision.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Mark JohnsonProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Mark Johnson:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Johnson_(producer)IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0425741/LFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

This year the theme is Cocodona the Musical.In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, Kevin sits down solo with Allison Powell — returning ultrarunner, storyteller, coach, Montana community builder, and Jeff Garmire's fiancée — for one of the most fun conversations in the series. Allison talks about what last year actually looked like out there when the weather came in and survival mode took over, why she's ditching the multi-universe structure this year in favor of one overarching theme of whimsy, and what it means to race the same 250-mile race as your partner while keeping everything completely separate — different crews, different bubbles, different tents the night before.She also talks about the Montana chapter of Women in Ultrarunning, why she's running for Runners for Public Lands this year, and what getting more women to the start line of races like Cocodona actually requires.Her chalkboard message at Mingus is about Air Bud.

Since we love all things witches, you know we had to read it.Show NotesWe loved Abitha and Samson and support all their witchery.Brom is also an artist and full colour paintings are included in Slewfoot, which was especially helpful for picturing Forest, Sky, and Creek with their strange child faces in the mouths of animals.Brom has done film concept art for Galaxy Quest (1999), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Scooby Doo (2002), and Van Helsing (2004). He has never taken any formal art classes.In an effort to crush our TBR, we're reading books we both have on our shelves, and so for our next episode we'll be talking about M Train by Patti Smith.Don't forget to read along with our book club book, Orwell's Roses by Rebecca Solnit, which we'll be talking about in early May.

Episode 147: John DuncanIn this episode, I'm joined by model maker John Duncan, whose career spans nearly fifteen years at Industrial Light & Magic and includes work across Star Wars, Star Trek, Galaxy Quest, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix and more.John talks about his early fascination with building miniatures as a kid, making models out of paper and cardboard, and how that instinct to just try things eventually led him into the film industry. What started as architectural model work and a stint in television quickly turned into a career at ILM, beginning in 1993, where he arrived for what was meant to be a two-week job and stayed for over a decade .We get into the realities of model making for film, learning to build for the camera rather than for close inspection, working under tight deadlines, and letting go of work when it needs to be modified or destroyed for the shot.John also discusses his time as a concept model maker on the Star Wars prequels, working with Doug Chiang to create what he describes as “3D blueprints” for the wider production. These models helped bridge the gap between design, practical builds and digital assets, ensuring consistency across departments.There's plenty here on specific projects too, including building the Enterprise-E for Star Trek: First Contact, working on the ships for Galaxy Quest, and contributing to the large-scale pirate ships in Pirates of the Caribbean. He also shares stories about unusual materials, problem-solving on the fly, and the collaborative nature of the ILM model shop.We also talk about the shift from practical models to digital effects, where miniatures still have a place today, and why physical builds continue to resonate with filmmakers and audiences alike.John is thoughtful, practical, and clearly still passionate about the craft. This is a great insight into a side of filmmaking that often goes unnoticed, but is absolutely fundamental to how these films were made.Topics coveredGrowing up building models and early creative influencesFirst steps into the film industry via architectural modelsJoining ILM in 1993 and working alongside industry legendsBuilding models for camera vs building for displayWorking on Star Trek: First Contact and Galaxy QuestConcept model making on the Star Wars prequelsCollaborating with Doug Chiang and George LucasThe idea of “3D blueprints” in film productionPractical effects vs digital effectsWorking on Pirates of the CaribbeanMaterials, techniques and problem-solving in the model shopReplica prop community and fan researchWhy physical models still matterThis podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

TVC 731.1: TV Confidential commemorates the recent passing of Chuck Norris by bringing you an encore of our conversation with Wayne Péré, the actor known to fans of Walker: Texas Ranger as the villainous Victor LaRue. At the time we spoke to Wayne in November 2018, he was starring as Dr. Emerson in the hit Sony/Marvel feature Venom, while his many other film and television credits include Friends, That 70s Show, Tracey Takes On…, The Practice, Third Rock from the Sun, Nip/Tuck, Star Trek: Voyager, NCIS, SpiderMan: Homecoming, Out of Sight, The Limey, Galaxy Quest, Trumbo, Ocean's Thirteen, and Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down The White House. Topics in this segment include the appeal of Walker: Texas Ranger; how Wayne did some of his own stunt work on Walker while filming an episode in New Mexico; and his experience riding a horse while filming the miniseries Roots.

Today we visit Kevin Smith's quaint View Askewniverse with the most thought provoking movie featuring a poop monster, DOGMA (1999)! We talk about the controversy surrounding the religious nature of the movie, the outstanding Alan Rickman elevating every scene, and probably the best version of God ever put on film! We also play a game celebrating 450 episodes, create a new food-toy-product called PopPeels, and we decide to continue the Alan Rickman crush-fest next week with GALAXY QUEST (1999)! ———————————————————— To see images of the stuff discussed, look at your device's screen while listening!

It's a classic switcheroo scenario! Erin is taking over hosting duties this week for a banner episode on one of our favourites and one of the very best Star Trek films: GALAXY QUEST!We're charting how the creative team found their perfect cast, including how Tim Allen learned what Acting was throughout the film, Sigourney Weaver's campaign to be part of the film, Alan Rickman's need to do comedy, and how Tony Shalhoub wound up playing a character with an Asian name. But how did the Star Trek cast feel about it? The answer may surprise you!Come and share our appreciation of Canadian treasure Enrico Colantoni while we look at deleted scenes, alternate plots, and how to simulate 70's TV aesthetics.We're also getting into our personal Galaxy Quests, the fandoms that have consumed us for better and worse, how we learned to recognize "bad" media, and 1999's mammoth cinema moment. Plus, Erin brings us the Straight Dope!

En este episodio de Frikimalismo FM nos metemos en el terreno más meta posible: las películas que hablan de nosotros, los fans. Delirio, tribu, peligro, vocación, conocimiento y heroísmo friki: recorremos cómo el cine ha convertido al fan en protagonista, desde psicópatas que confunden fama con afecto hasta comunidades que salvan series y mantienen vivo el culto pop. Usando títulos como The King of Comedy, Fanboys, The Fan, Almost Famous, Galaxy Quest o Scream, analizamos al fan obsesivo, al comunitario, al tóxico, al profesional, al experto y al héroe, preguntándonos hasta qué punto nuestra identidad está pegada a las historias que amamos. Porque sin fans no hay cultura pop… y sin cultura pop, no hay Frikimalismo. Con Mon Suárez. Y los memes de @diamocasin. Con El Selenita a cargo de la creatividad digital. Y el Dictador Supremo Frikimalismo se meterá con vosotros por ver esta maravilla de programa y para recordaros que hay que mandar MX Dollars.

A deep friendship between scientist and High School teacher Ryland Grace and an alien resembling a smaller version of Galaxy Quest's rock monster, brings together friends from the LAMB to sing it's praises. "Project Hail Mary" based on a novel from the same author as "The Martian", Andy Weir, postulates a natural element as the source of Earth's demise, as well as significant parts of the universe. Ryan Gosling goes to space to look for solutions, and although it looks like he might be alone, the universe has other plans. Rabid readers Lisa Leaheey and Heather Baxendale-Walsh join Howard Casner and Tony Cogan for a lively cheer squad discussion of the film. 

Movie Night! Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah as they trek through the stars with the 1999 comedy space epic "Galaxy Quest"! Campy sci-fi tropes are ubiquitous enough that you can make a mainstream hit parodying them, right? If not, the outstanding character work of Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and Tony Shalhoub is enough to rocket this movie into the stratosphere of middling family-friendly comedies that the Paragon Marathon loves to revisit. From dazzling 90's era CG space battles, big campy rubber suit alien costumes, to Sci-fi legend Sigourney Weaver, Galaxy Quest has it all! Even casting Tim Allen as the leading man miraculously doesn't ruin the film; in fact, making him play a washed up hack of an actor that no one likes is strangely cathartic! Contained within: Stellar screams, Star trek lore, and a healthy amount of Tim Allen grunts.

This week, we review Galaxy Quest (1999), Dean Parisot's cult-favorite sci-fi comedy that lovingly parodies—and pays tribute to—classic space operas and fandom culture. Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman star as washed-up actors from a defunct sci-fi TV series who are mistaken for real space heroes by an alien race in desperate need of help. Thrust into a real interstellar conflict, they must rise to the occasion using nothing but their scripted catchphrases and questionable improvisation skills.Is fandom the ultimate fantasy—or a cosmic responsibility?

Charlie and Miles have ‘gifted' each other episodes of Star Trek to talk about, both good and bad. The problem with being casual about Star Trek is you just don't know all of what's out there. That's what the Casual Trek mission is for, after all. This year the gang are doing something different, talking about a film that's adjacent to Star Trek, and even some Trek actors say is the best Star Trek movie: Galaxy Quest.

Charlie and Miles have ‘gifted' each other episodes of Star Trek to talk about, both good and bad. The problem with being casual about Star Trek is you just don't know all of what's out there. That's what the Casual Trek mission is for, after all. This year the gang are doing something different, talking about a film that's adjacent to Star Trek, and even some Trek actors say is the best Star Trek movie: Galaxy Quest. They've even got guest stars Reanna Reid-Lobatto and Sean Corse from off of the Famicom Dojo joining the festivities. So sit by the fire, get a nice drink and listen to some nerds getting rabid about a fun film, even if it has Tim Allen in it.

Friend of the pod Katherine Scheil is the author of Imagining Shakespeare's Wife: The Afterlife of Anne Hathaway and the co-editor of the upcoming Palgrave Handbook of Shakespearean Biofiction, is the perfect person to talk about Chloé Zhao's film version of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell's 2020 novel. Scheil highlights some of the differences between the novel and the film; some head-scratching marketing choices; how the novel and (especially) Jessie Buckley's performance, empower Shakespeare's wife in a way we've never seen before; and a curious similarity between Paul Mescal in Hamnet and Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest. (Length 23:21) The post Hamnet, The Movie appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

We head to space for our finale of our Stan Winston Month! GalaxyQuest is an all time great and we are so excited to finally get the opportunity to talk about it on the show. Are there a lot of Tim Allan mannerisms....yes. Do we talk like Alan Rickman in this one.....yes again. But none the less, we had a really good time talking about this one!

This week, Guest Host Donovan Adkisson joins Jason DeFilippo to wade through the usual tech chaos; California is attempting to regulate the inevitable AI companion chatbots, which is timely, considering ChatGPT is about to launch erotica (with age verification, natch). Turns out, most of the world is less stoked about our algorithmic future than Silicon Valley is. Speaking of chaos, Elon Musk's Boring Company racked up nearly 800 environmental violations in Vegas, and his Starlink satellites are burning up the atmosphere, validating the Kessler Syndrome predictions (and ruining backyard astronomy). On the ground, Georgia Tech is deploying drone first responders, ensuring campus security is instantly airborne, while the UK's Online Safety Act slapped 4chan with a hefty fine. We also mourn a Crypto Kingpin who met his end in a Lamborghini following a market crash. Finally, beware that "perfect" house listing, as the owner likely used AI to virtually enhance that curb appeal.It seems even the guy who coined the term "Vibe Coding" admits that relying on AI for complex software is "Net Unhelpful," proving that humans still have to do the heavy lifting—a fact Uber might ignore, as they plan to pay drivers to train AI between rides. Speaking of dumb human stunts, some genius launched the "World's First Waymo DDoS" by summoning 50 robotaxis to a dead end. On the entertainment side, it's time to binge Gen V before Season 5 of The Boys drops; also, why did Apple rename Apple TV+ to Apple TV? The guys also discuss the eternal cultural resonance of Idiocracy and the perfection of Galaxy Quest (and its fantastic documentary, Never Surrender). On the work front, Jason switched back to Things 3 because life is too short for ugly software, even as Windows 10's impending end-of-life threatens to create an e-waste disaster. Also, Wi-Fi 8 is coming soon, because the recently ratified Wi-Fi 7 just wasn't cutting it.Finally, the Grumpy Old Geeks wish a happy birthday to friends of the show and offer remembrance for the recently deceased, including screen icon Diane Keaton and KISS founding member Ace Frehley (though, honestly, no one here watched KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park).

She is a legend for a thousand reasons but most of all for Ripley.

In this episode, Phil and Janelle talk about The Prayer Chain, Poor Old Lu, Galaxy Quest, Nashville, Mortal, Dorney Park, improv, vacation pants, Idiocracy, and more.

Take a movie that is so beloved by the people that it was satirizing that it ranks in the top ten of THEIR greatest movies. That's Galaxy Quest. It is a perfect complement to Star Trek, and every aspect of it sings a love song to the movies that bore it. This movie is golden.

This week on So Many Sequels, we've got a stacked lineup of movie and TV talk! Josh breaks down the wild new Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, a dystopian thriller that mixes The Hunger Games with Stephen King's signature horror. Plus, we dive into HIM, the new sports-horror film produced by Jordan Peele, and share why it didn't quite live up to the hype.But that's not all—Garrett gives his first impressions of The Paper, a spinoff in the world of The Office, and David takes us on a comfort-movie binge that includes Galaxy Quest, Tropic Thunder, A Knight's Tale, and even The Phantom Menace. We also cover the Emmy winners, the return of The Muppet Show, and the hilarious new Paul Rudd & Jack Black Anaconda remake trailer.

Never give up! Never surrender! Even if you're late putting out the podcast! Oops. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

We're kicking off Season 3 with a comedy legend and sci‑fi favorite. Tim Allen joins Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer for a wide‑ranging conversation about Galaxy Quest lore, finding the line between parody and homage, and what it was like working alongside Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, and the rest of that unforgettable cast. We also rewind to the early days of Home Improvement and stand-up, and look ahead to Tim's return to network TV with Shifting Gears. Along the way he gets candid about craft, shifting from comedy to drama on set, and the lessons that stick after decades in the business.Each week, we explore and celebrate the lives that the Star Trek universe has forever changed. From former and future cast and crew members to celebrities, scientists, and astronauts whose personal and professional journeys have been affected by the franchise, we sit down and dive deep with a new friend, laughing and learning from their stories. Sit back, grab a drink, and join our hosts, Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer, as we get geeky in The D-Con Chamber.Let's get social!

Guests: Enrico Colantoni – Mathesar, the earnest Thermian leader Missi Pyle – Laliari, the wide-eyed Thermian engineer In this delightfully weird and wonderful episode of Byte, Tony chatted with Enrico Colantoni and Missi Pyle for a mini-reunion that celebrates the cult classic Galaxy Quest. With warmth, wit, and a few tentacle jokes, the two actors reflect on their time as Thermians—those lovable, tentacled aliens who misunderstood Earth's sci-fi as historical fact. Thermian Talk & Tentacle Technique → Enrico and Missi share how they developed the alien speech patterns and body language that became iconic.

The Thomas Crown Affair was the 31st-highest grossing movie of 1999, coming in one slot below another entry, Galaxy Quest, opening August 6th at number 3 at the box office behind the debut of the juggernaut The Sixth Sense at number one and Runaway Bride at number 2. The first of two 1999 film besides (besides The 13th Warrior, which we also recently discussed) from Die Hard director John McTiernan, The Thomas Crown Affair is a remake of the 1968 Steve McQueen-Faye Dunaway caper of the same name. Starring Pierce Brosnan in the title role - at the height of his Bond tenure -  alongside Rene Russo, the film was praised for featuring two (very attractive) actors who were north of 40 and portraying them in an overtly sexy light, with particular ink spilled on how refreshing it was to see the then 45-year-old Russo presented as a femme fatale. The Thomas Crown Affair was pretty well received at the time, which is interesting because it has not, on a number of fronts, aged very well. What did people see in it at the time? And does it hold up at all today? John and Julia invited critic/writer/internet pioneer Sarah Bunting, the co-creator of Television Without Pity (among many other things) to take a trip down memory lane with us as we talk sex scenes in the 1990s, the importance of getting the right director, and what separates a "heist" from a "caper".

Join Sis and Big Pops for a fun, fun talk about one of the things we love most—Nerd Stuff. We discuss our fav bits of nerd news: There's an ASMR video of Daredevil in his lair. Krysten Ritter is in one of the new Daredevil seasons, Spider-Man Noir is going to be a live-action, and Netflix is going to be making a “Little House on the Prairie” TV-Show, Fallout has been greenlit for season 3, and Atlita Battle Angel 2 is still in the works, Magic the Gathering has a new car set that is final fantasy based, and K2SO intro was kinda like a horror episode. For bingeing, Big Pops has been watching Andor, the director's cut of Batman v Superman, Galaxy Quest documentary, The Hunt for Red October, and Conan O'Brien getting the Mark Twain comedy. Sis has read 144 Books, she has watched Iron Man, Hulk, The Pitt on Max, and Dune Part 2. Instead of a pull-list, Pop's shares with us his top 10 comic book doctors in order from 10 to 1 they are: (10) Doc Sampson, (9) Dr. Midnight, (8) Dr. Spectrum, (7) Dr. Fate, (6) Dr. Light the villain, (5) Doc Savage, (4) Dr. Strange, (3) Dr. Doom, (2) Dr. Manhattan, and (1) Doc Octopus, with an honorable mention of the Doctor from The Authority. And last but not least, we review the first “Doctor Strange” Movie.

Galaxy Quest (1999) is one of the most clever and affectionate love letters ever written to sci-fi fandom. It follows the washed-up cast of a cult sci-fi TV series who, after years of coasting on convention appearances, suddenly find themselves whisked into a real interstellar conflict by aliens who believe their show was genuine historical record. While it hilariously pokes fun at sci-fi tropes—like overblown captains, technobabble, and obsessive fans—it does so with deep respect and affection for the genre and its community. The film balances sharp parody with genuine heart, delivering a story that's equal parts comedic romp and heartfelt adventure, anchored by excellent humor, tight pacing, and a fantastic ensemble cast featuring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, and the wonderful Sam Rockwell.This summer, Galaxy Quest kicks off our “Summer of Sam,” a movie marathon celebrating films featuring actors named Sam. Here, Sam Rockwell absolutely shines as Guy, the anxious extra terrified he's destined to be the expendable crewman—a role that's both hysterical and surprisingly relatable for any sci-fi fan. If you've never seen Galaxy Quest, it's a must-watch, especially if you love Star Trek or sci-fi in general. It's not just a parody; it's a joyful tribute that understands why fans adore starships, aliens, and the hope woven into these stories. By the time the credits roll, you'll be laughing, a little misty-eyed, and absolutely convinced that, even in space, never giving up and never surrendering is the way to go.Stick around until the end for a round of Star Wars Trivia!Safe travels, nomads!
