Put on your latex head-cap and grab your Thermian translator — this week, your starfleet of snark is diving headfirst into the unlikely sci-fi cult classic that beamed itself into nerd hearts everywhere. Jordan and Heigl travel back to 1999 to explore how a fake show about fake space heroes somehow made real Trekkies weep with joy — and earned an honorary place alongside the actual Star Trek movies. You'll hear how Leonard Nimoy accidentally inspired the original script, why Kevin Kline (not Buzz Lightyear) was supposed to lead the crew, and how Alan Rickman — literal Shakespearean royalty — somehow found himself next to a farting Tim Allen...and hated every second of it. (So did everyone on the set.) Heigl delves deep into Allen’s pre-fame life as a coke mule with a prison stint under his belt, Jordan talks about psychologic effects of space travel and Orson Welles’ touching friendship with Winston Churchill (for some reason), and they both luxuriate in the decades-long feuds between Star Trek cast members. The pair go on to discuss the worst-dubbed F-bomb in cinematic history, why comedy legend Harold Ramis prematurely departed the project, and all the reasons why the producers were terrified they were going to get sued. You’ll also discover how the film’s parody became prophecy, predicting not just the rise of fandom, but the emotional power of obsessive nerdery years before Comic-Con went corporate. So whether you’re a diehard fan or just here for the fart jokes, this one’s for you. By Grabthar’s Hammer — it’s podcast time!

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." (Thomas on the film's editing and structure) Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to Challenge Accepted, leave us a review, and share the podcast with a fellow movie lover.

Frank and Thomas dive into Pride and Prejudice (2005) with a surprising amount of insight. After catching a recent theatrical re-release of the Jane Austen adaptation, the hosts unpack its romantic tension, cinematography, performances, and themes of societal expectations. Along the way, they reflect on Keira Knightley's breakout role, Matthew Macfadyen's modern take on Mr. Darcy, and how 19th-century courtship still hits in 2025. With some help from Frank's wife and linked video essays, they make sense of the story's deeper layers—reluctantly, but respectfully. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Welcome and Thomas's reluctant movie pick 00:00:41 The theatrical re-release and first impressions 00:01:17 Breakdown of the plot, scene by scene 00:04:47 What this movie says about power, class, and gender 00:06:50 The Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth dynamic 00:09:15 Mr. Darcy's character and casting impact 00:14:32 Understanding the dialog and social codes 00:17:12 Cinematography and standout shots 00:20:26 The iconic rain scene and its symbolism 00:24:23 Keira Knightley's performance and casting 00:26:18 Star-studded supporting cast 00:27:06 Comparing both proposals as visual storytelling 00:29:44 Does the movie feel too rushed? 00:33:03 Trivia: red flags, fake book titles, and bad eyesight 00:36:00 Final thoughts and star ratings 00:37:04 Next movie pick revealed: Galaxy Quest Key Takeaways: Pride & Prejudice (2005) is a well-crafted adaptation that, despite not being made for everyone, earns respect for its care and attention to detail. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen bring depth to iconic characters, especially through subtext and physical acting. Joe Wright's direction is subtle but powerful, using natural lighting, one-shot sequences, and thoughtful framing. The story critiques societal norms by centering a woman (Elizabeth Bennet) who refuses to play by the rules. The movie has become a beloved comfort film, especially for those drawn to emotionally charged slow-burn romances. Quotes:

Ken, Greg and Kyle are joined by special guest Jason Godbey to review/discuss the 1999 Star Trek homage film, Dean Parisot's Galaxy Quest.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas unpack the intense and divisive finale of The Last of Us Season 2. With Ellie and Abby's storylines colliding once more, the co-hosts share honest reactions on the pacing, character arcs, and controversial narrative choices. From missing emotional beats to major changes from the game, this episode offers a deep dive into what worked, what fell short, and what it all means for Season 3. They also reflect on the show's broader themes of revenge, survival, and morality, and how they compare to Joel's legacy. Plus, they tease upcoming reviews of Ironheart and Galaxy Quest. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Challenge Accepted 00:00:22 First impressions on the finale and frustrations with pacing 00:01:15 Viewer disconnect with Abby and Ellie's arcs 00:02:07 Trusting the showrunners into Season 3 00:03:09 Why seven episodes wasn't enough 00:04:13 Ellie's rage vs. likability 00:05:27 Changes from the game's story 00:07:19 Favorite new character and wasted potential 00:08:21 The boat sequence and story logic issues 00:10:00 Ellie's revenge path and moral cost 00:12:37 Comparing Ellie's choices to Joel's 00:15:27 Maturity, trauma, and how the writing shaped Ellie 00:17:13 Why Joel's absence broke the show's emotional core 00:19:03 Season comparisons to Game of Thrones and Andor 00:20:56 Favorite quiet moments: bookstore and community talk 00:23:06 Seattle setting and visuals 00:24:55 Bella Ramsey's performance vs. the writing 00:25:49 The lost potential of Tommy's character 00:27:57 Frank and Thomas' hopes for Season 3 00:28:40 Concern over the series' future 00:30:11 Why a Bill and Frank-style episode was needed 00:31:24 Dreaming of a “day in the life” episode in Jackson 00:32:07 Final thoughts and season wrap-up 00:32:30 What's next: Ironheart and Galaxy Quest 00:33:52 Summer movie season preview and send-off Key Takeaways: The finale was emotionally uneven, especially for non-gamers unfamiliar with Abby's arc. The seven-episode structure left major character arcs feeling rushed or incomplete. Ellie's decisions feel less justified than Joel's, lacking the emotional maturity to anchor her actions. Key relationships, like Ellie and Tommy's, needed more development. Seattle's visual portrayal and Bella Ramsey's acting were highlights, despite the script's weaknesses. The show missed opportunities to slow down and reflect, such as a standalone character episode. Season 3's success may hinge on how it handles Abby and reconnects with the show's emotional roots. Quotes: “They're asking us to trust them for Season 3—but they didn't earn that trust this time.” “Joel was hollow after his loss. Ellie should be too, but the show never truly commits to that.” “You can't expect the audience to love Abby if you give them no reason to care.” “Bella Ramsey crushed it—some of the dialog just didn't do her justice.” “Seattle felt alive, dangerous, and immersive. That's one thing they got right.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this breakdown of The Last of Us finale, make sure to subscribe to Challenge Accepted, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, and share the episode using #ChallengeAcceptedPodcast.

In the thirty-fourth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and actor Dan Bauer to discuss the joyous satire of lo-fi science-fiction fandom and the actors who have taken the gift of a show's community and philosophy for granted in Dean Parisot's wonderful ode to how pop culture can be more than simply a commercialized product in the hilarious Galaxy Quest (1999).

Rivka and Frank are joined by MVC editor John for a deep-dive into the sci-fi parody Galaxy Quest. They unpack the film's clear affection for Star Trek, its sharp satire of fan culture and conventions, and why David Mamet once praised it as one of the best-structured screenplays in modern film. Speaking of space, Frank and Rivka give their take on girlboss billionaire's modern day galaxy quest in today's topical.  For next week we'll be talking about TV, discussing Severance and White Lotus.

Rivka and Frank return with another duet to revisit a childhood staple: Jumanji, the Robin Williams-led adventure that shaped a generation's imagination. But as they unpack the film, it becomes clear that it's doing more than telling the story of a man trapped in a magical board game. Beneath the surface, Jumanji reflects deeper currents—tracing the shadows of American and European imperialism, colonial legacy, and the quiet manipulations of capitalist logic. 

In 1999, a year packed with iconic films, Galaxy Quest hit theaters, blending sci-fi adventure with sharp comedy. Directed by Dean Parisot, the movie follows a group of washed-up TV actors who find themselves in a real intergalactic conflict after being mistaken for their on-screen characters. In this episode, the guys revisit Galaxy Quest, sharing their memories of seeing it for the first time and diving into some behind-the-scenes trivia.

David Howard's most visible credit is DreamWorks' major feature film, Galaxy Quest, the story and screenplay of which we discuss. He also has an arm's length of television and live theatre credits. But interestingly enough, this is not why he is on this podcast. This is why he is my guest. Galaxy Press is easily confused with Galaxy Quest, and I routinely hear the public at conventions tell their friends they are standing by the Galaxy Quest booth. So, David became an obvious great guest when the opportunity presented itself at the Life, the Universe and Everything Symposium in Provo, Utah. We discuss script writing, what works and what to avoid. But more to the purpose of this podcast, he is the author of a delightful YA fantasy called ‟Penumbra,” which we discuss in this interview.

In episode 410, we delve into the creative process behind some of your favorite sci-fi, fantasy, and comic book stories. Tony Tellado as he speaks with a diverse group of creative minds, including Omar Morales discussing his graphic novel "Major Thomas," which interweaves personal heritage with interstellar adventure. Jessica Powers provides insight into the world of independent book reviews and the significance of obtaining professional reviews to elevate author visibility in today's crowded literary market. Adding to the richness of this episode, Luka Mosca shares intriguing details about costume design in the series Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Moreover, enjoy a nostalgic trip with actors Missy Pyle and Enrico Colantoni as they reminisce about the making of the beloved film, Galaxy Quest.

Happy New Year! Shoot off the fireworks, toot the noisemakers, and make yourself a nice plate of black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread. Do you have any resolutions this year? A word or mantra for the year? No? Well, you're in luck. We're here to help with that by way of four movie recommendations. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)First up is the 1986 John Hughes comedy classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The real righteous dudes in the audience will know why this film has a great movie mantra, but if you don't, you're in luck! We'll tell you all about it in today's show. Galaxy Quest (1999)Next is the 1999 love letter to Star Trek, Galaxy Quest. This comedy is a wonderful send-up of classic Star Trek, but is also a fascinating meta-commentary on stardom, fandom, and geek culture. By Grabthar's Hammer, you best pick this one up for another fantastic movie mantra.It's a Wonderful Life (1946)Frank Capra's 1946 film, It's a Wonderful Life, is a timeless Christmas classic, but it's got one of the best movie mantras in history. Starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Henry Travers, and Lionel Barrymore, this drama still rings true today and is worth watching as we start the new year. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)We close our movie mantras this week with another comedy, 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. While yes, the tagline reads, “History's about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell,” this is a comedy that still writes a wonderful movie mantra. Filled with cameos from comedians, rock stars, and more, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is a delightful sci-fi comedy. Strange things will be afoot at the Video Store if you don't pick this one up. From all of us here at the Video Store Podcast, we hope your new year is a great one. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Episode 9: Prime Directive What procedures did the NX-01 crew already have in place for the Prime Directive before it was a thing? Are T'Pol's Prime Directive actions questionable in these episodes? Why do people from other cultures always want to live in a pre-warp society? Why did the crew bring down more tech in “The Communicator”? Would T'Mir have given the Velcro invention if they weren't leaving? Join Ashlyn and Rhianna as we discuss the rest of the Enterprise Prime Directive episodes. This is the ninth episode of the Prime Directive series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the good and bad examples in every Star Trek show, starting with the Original Series and ending with Strange New Worlds.

With Christmas just a few days away, the 633rd episode on this Have You Ever Seen channel is the right time to talk about one of the funniest holiday movies. The Santa Clause is not just a consistent laugh-getter. It's also touching...and those are 2 good reasons the flick has been so rewatchable. Tim Allen made his film debut in John Pasquin's blockbuster and it's like we said about Galaxy Quest: cast him in the right role and it's hard to think of anyone better. He's the bad dad who's forced into being the jolly man in red...but was it all a set-up? We talk a lot about that. We also talked a lot about The Santa Clause 2, since we watched that a few days later. So bring your broken family together at the holidays, call off your amber alert (not "orange" alert) and use a snow globe to get your dad to come home from work as we have a good old time yapping about The Santa Clause. Order some Sparkplug Coffee for your New Year's party...or just because it's good and the holidays don't need to determine your drinking options. Our "HYES" promo code will save you 20%. So it's "sparkplug.coffee/hyes". Rate and review our podcast and subscribe to it in your app. Look for us on YouTube. It's "@hyesellis" in your browser. Email us (haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com). Fire off some bon mots on Twi-X (@moviefiend51 and @bevellisellis). Bev uses that @ on Threads too, plus no @, but "bevellisellis" on Bluesky. And Ryan is "ryan-ellis" on Bluesky.
