We wrap July with Barton Fink (1991); a film that was perhaps second only to Trust (1990) in it's influence on a teen Keithy.Turturro, Goodman, Buscemi, Mahoney, Shaloub -- there's lots to enjoy about this movie. Plus we talk: Holocaust/Nazi/WWII fetishism in the US, the Hollywood trap, and Cradle Will Rock (1999). Plus our reflection on this month's selections.

When listener Rob F. commissioned "Gattaca" in honor of his father, we all remembered it as beautiful, futuristic and distinct. Oddly enough, we couldn't remember much else. We remembered Ethan Hawke but not his lengthy voiceovers. We remembered Jude Law but not the incinerator scene. We remembered Uma Thurman but not her character's heart condition. This 1997 sci-fi debut for director Andrew Niccol made some interesting choices, like casting loads of TV talent and pretending Jude Law and Ethan Hawke look anything alike. And it also had some swagger, like pinstripe spacesuits and film-noir vibes. The Shat Crew was left to debate: Is "Gattaca" a case of style over substance, or is it a visionary film that went underappreciated for years?

Stark Raving Mad WAS a show. Starring comedic powerhouses Neil Patrick Harris and Tony Shaloub, this odd-couple type sitcom was about a fast-rising Junior Editor (Harris) paired with an eccentric bestselling horror novelist (Shaloub) to finish his latest hit. This oddball series made its way to NBC’s famous Must See Thursday lineup nestled between Fraiser and ER, but didn’t make it past the first season. We try not to write ourselves into a corner as we discover what went wrong. Email: thatwasashow@aol.com (Because 90s AOL still exists for some reason!)

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, perhaps no other Hollywood actress was more synonymous with romantic comedies than Meg Ryan. In this episode, Karen and Janet welcome the show’s first guest of the season, the inimitable Justin Donham— actor, stage manager, voiceover artist, and yoga instructor extraordinaire— to discuss two of Ryan’s less critically acclaimed yet well-liked films, I.Q. and Addicted to Love.
With the Southwood secure, 3-Tooth, Joreth, and Leo all return to the temple to find Shaloub ready to set out immediately. Wanting to rest their weary bones for just a moment, the party notices 3-Tooth acting strangely.
This week, we bid happy retirement to a listener to got the shaft from his employer, then realized he already had enough money to retire. Rob P. has been a longtime listener of both Shat on TV and Shat The Movies, and his film commission is nothing short of stellar. Boldly going where no Shatter has gone before, Rob chose a movie released in the final week of the '90s. And though "Galaxy Quest" never broke the top 5 in the box office, it might be the greatest sci-fi parody of all time. Gene Lyons, Roger Roeper, and Dick Ebert break down the difference between Trekkies and Trekkers, celebrate Galaxy Quest's outstanding casting, and contemplate the proper approach to sex with aliens. Rog and Gene also swap tales from Comic-Con, with Gene recounting how he stole from Lou Ferrigno and Rog worshipping Alec Baldwin's blue-collar roots. And, of course, we had to imitate Thermians and talk about boobs. Because we're adults.

Hop on your spaceship for this week's edition of Force Fed Sci-Fi and The Force Fed Sci-Fi Movie Podcast as we laugh out loud with the film Galaxy Quest as we cover the Galaxy Quest characters and aliens, mention some of our favorite Galaxy Quest quotes, discover just what exactly happened to a Galaxy Quest sequel and more. Strap in as we go on a Star Trek film spoof journey! Make sure to listen to our podcast episode and subscribe so you never miss an episode! Galaxy Quest Movie Cast Tim Allen as Jason Nesmeth The Home Improvement star was not the first choice as the actor who plays the actor who plays Commander Peter Quincy Taggart (I think that made sense?). In fact, some of the others who were offered / considered for the main role included Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Kevin Klein. We really thought Tim Allen fit the role perfectly. He sort of has that cheesy humor that fit well with this character as well as just the general idea of making comedic spoof of Star Trek. Sigourney Weaver as Gwen DeMarco Sci-fi star Sigourney Weaver didn't take on the role of someone opposite of aliens or ghosts in this film, but instead did a great job delivering humor to audiences as Gwen DeMarco, an actress who played Tawny Madison, a character that just repeated and posed questions to the spaceship's computer for the rest of the crew. While it sounds like one of the lamest jokes a Star Trek spoof could come up with, she delivers a performance that will make you laugh out loud. Alan Rickman as Alexander Dane We definitely argued whether or not Alan Rickman sort of stole the show a bit from Tim Allen. With his character being fed-up and negatively sarcastic about himself being a former star on a space exploration show mixed in with some brilliant acting (I love his facial expressions in this film), the comedic lines from the character are hard not to crack up about. Honestly, Alan Rickman was a vital part of this cast and without him, the quality of this movie would have been downgraded. Sam Rockwell as Guy Fleegman While Chris and Sean did have a Force Fed Sci-Fi redshirt pick for this movie (listen to the podcast episode to find out who ... rather what it was), Rockwell's character literally played a redshirt on the television show within the movie. Oh those poor Star Trek redshirts. Luckily, Rockwell's character gets to tag along for the movie's adventure, and kind of represents the character theme of "being able to grow." While Rockwell isn't the one you concentrate on a ton in this film, it's nice to watch one of his earlier roles where he still delivers a solid and funny performance. Tony Shaloub as Fred Kwan The Monk star actually and originally tried to obtain the role of Rockwell's character, but the filmmakers thought he was better suited for the role of Fred. Like Rockwell's character, Shaloub as Fred isn't focused on too much in this movie. Although, there is the awkward, but hilarious romance between he and Missi Pyle's character Laliari. Galaxy Quest Aliens The Thermians Mathesar, the leader of the Thermians - portrayed by Enrico Colantoni Quellek, a Thermian who admires Alan Rickman's character - portrayed by Patrick Breen Laliari (mentioned above already), a Thermian who plays the love interest of Tony Shaloub's character - portrayed by Missi Pyle Teb, the second-in-command for the Thermians - played by Jed Rees The Reptilian Humanoids General Roth'h'ar Sarris, the main protagonist in this film who seeks the destruction of the Thermians - played by Robin Sachs Lathe, Sarris' second-in-command - played by Wayne Péré Force Fed Sci-Fi's Favorite Galaxy Quest Quotes The humor holds up after twenty years of being released, especially for those of us who are Star Trek fans. A lot of one-liners that we love from this film: Before going out on stage at a convention, Rickman's character humorously and depressingly states, "I played Richard III ...

Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, Gattaca (1997) stars Ethan Hawke as Jerome Morrow… or is he? He’s actually Vincent Freeman, a naturally occurring person in a world where people can be genetically engineered…. for a price. This creates a new elite class where genes determine privilege. Vincent impersonates Jerome through a rather elaborate scheme in order to fulfill his dream of leaving this planet and becoming an astronaut. Chris Cummins and Skizz Cyzyk join Mike to discuss the film while interviewee Xander Berkeley talks about his role in Gattaca as Dr. Lamar as well as his work in Mommy Dearest, Leaving Las Vegas, Safe, Barb Wire, and more.
