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."

Case and Sam are joined by DJ Nik to revivify some Xenomorphs!   Overview   In the latest episode of the Another Pass podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, along with guest DJ Nik, delve into the complexities of "Alien Resurrection," the fourth installment of the renowned Alien franchise. They discuss the film's controversial elements, including its scientific plausibility, character dynamics, and Joss Whedon's unique screenplay style. The conversation highlights the film's shift towards a more campy tone and examines the visual aesthetics brought by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, particularly the impressive underwater sequences. The hosts critique the character motivations and propose improvements, with Sam suggesting clearer intentions for the scientists and more depth for the space pirates, while Nick proposes focusing primarily on the scientists and Ripley in a more claustrophobic setting. Case adds ideas for restructuring the narrative arc to enhance suspense. The episode concludes with a tease for their next discussion covering "Highlander 2: The Quickening."   Notes Introduction to Alien Resurrection Discussion (00:00 - 10:27) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea host Another Pass podcast with guest DJ Nik They're discussing Alien Resurrection, the fourth film in the Alien franchise Nik introduces himself as a host of multiple podcasts including Whiskey and Cigarettes Case positions this film as less respected than Alien 3, which he previously defended Nick describes his love for the franchise, noting the Xenomorph as 'the greatest creature ever created' He appreciates how each film in the franchise has different directors with different visual styles Sam admits she only watched the Alien films because of the podcast, as she's 'afraid of everything' Plot Elements and Science Issues (10:27 - 20:35) The group discusses the questionable science of cloning Ripley to harvest the alien inside her The movie is set 200 years after Alien 3, with Ripley having died in the previous film Sam suggests the genetic material might have been recovered like in Jurassic Park Case notes the first three films maintained scientific plausibility while this one stretches credibility The movie explores Ripley as a superhuman hybrid, shifting the franchise toward sci-fi adventure Nick points out that Sigourney Weaver was brought back as the flagship character Case questions the scientists' motives for bringing the aliens to Earth Characters and Crew Dynamic (20:35 - 30:37) The movie features a crew of space pirates rather than soldiers or workers as in previous films Sam notes the villain motivations aren't properly established, raising questions about their plans The group questions why the aliens are kept together in cells where they can conspire to escape Nick suggests this is due to 'human hubris' and scientists wanting to study their interactions The movie has a distinct 'Joss Whedon' style, as he wrote the screenplay Case appreciates the lived-in world aesthetic consistent with previous Alien films Sam praises the film's beautiful visuals and camera work despite her criticisms Alien Sequences and Visual Elements (30:38 - 39:45) The underwater sequence with aliens swimming is praised as visually impressive Sam notes the unrealistic breath-holding duration in the underwater scene The group appreciates creative kills and set pieces in the film They discuss how director Jean-Pierre Jeunet brought a different visual style The film is described as more campy than previous entries, closer to a slasher film in space The cast is discussed, with Michael Wincott as the captain and Ron Perlman as an abrasive character Winona Ryder is described as distractingly famous for her role as the android Call The Xenomorphs and Newborn Design (39:45 - 49:46) The aliens show intelligence when escaping their cells by sacrificing one of their own The group discusses the alien queen's live birth ability instead of egg-laying Case questions how this is an 'evolutionary upgrade' when it seems painful and inefficient The newborn hybrid alien design is praised as appropriately freaky and different The theme of motherhood continues from previous films in the franchise Nick points out how the newborn looks more human than regular xenomorphs Sam simply finds the newborn 'gross' and disturbing Improving the Film - Sam's Pitch (49:46 - 01:01:06) Sam suggests clarifying the scientists' motives early in the film She proposes establishing that the main goal is creating super-soldiers like Ripley Sam recommends making the pirates more likeable so viewers care when they die She suggests giving hints about Winona Ryder's character being an android earlier Sam recommends establishing a military base on Earth as the destination for the specimens For the underwater scene, she suggests allowing characters to surface for air occasionally She would keep the film's ending but focus on fixing the first act and character development Nick's Alternative Approach (01:01:06 - 01:10:07) Nick proposes eliminating the space pirates entirely He suggests focusing on scientists, Ripley, and Call (Winona Ryder's character) He recommends a more claustrophobic setting with military presence to explore ethics Nick suggests adding communication between the space station and Earth He proposes showing how Ripley's DNA was extracted to address audience questions Nick mentions that Joss Whedon's original script featured Newt instead of Ripley He wonders how the film might have been different if directed by Danny Boyle, who was approached first Case's Restructuring Proposal (01:10:08 - 01:18:51) Case suggests making the space pirates the focus of the first act, with Winona Ryder as the viewpoint character He proposes revealing Ripley later as a surprise, during the basketball scene He recommends establishing that scientists have been successfully cloning aliens already Case suggests the aliens should have been in captivity longer to justify their escape methods He likes keeping the back half of the movie mostly intact The hosts share that Sigourney Weaver actually made the backward basketball shot in one take They conclude by mentioning their next episode will cover Highlander 2: The Quickening

Send us a Question!PARTY PLEASER: Shirleon joins Melvin to summarize a late-90s retelling-with-a-twist adaptation of a beloved fairytale: Snow White: A Tale of Terror! From its surprisingly nuanced characters to its downright diabolical antagonist, the two enjoy discussing the horrific ins-and-outs of this late-20th century oddity! Topics:The opening tone-setter for Snow White: A Tale of Terror really sells the atmosphere of dark fantasy.Interestingly, the opening dynamic between Claudia, the "Evil Queen" equivalent, and Lilli, the "Snow White" equivalent, is more of Claudia seeking a good relationship with Lilli while Lilli acts consistently bratty.Once the movie goes grimdark, it doesn't stop topping itself with bizarre dark fantasy ideas.Discussing why they think classic fairytale villains, Disney or otherwise, are so compelling.The film is undeniably a horror film, but it's largely psychological with some horror-lite sequences.The "Seven Dwarves" equivalent are essentially Highwaymen, and each one has some form of physical deformity or ailment which contrasts with Claudia's unabashed vanity.The whole "catatonic Snow White" sequence that the fairytale is famous for starts and ends near immediately.The film is loaded with "show don't tell", but sometimes it's to a fault.Recommendations:Fairest of All by Serena Valentino (2009) (Book)Mirror, Mirror by Jen Calonia (2019) (Book)Event Horizon (1997) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

Bad Bitch, Cyborg, & Liquid Metal: James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement Day Go to last week's introduction to James Cameron's The Terminator . . . fast-forward seven years. Sarah Connor is no longer a "damsel in distress". James Cameron has worked his Sigourney Weaver magical transformation on another heroine, creating one of the great female action stars in all of cinema. Once again, Sarah Connor is facing the destruction of the world. However this time she is fully aware of the danger in front, behind, above, and below. Cameron's imagination - coupled with a sheer will and an (at that time) unheard of and unlimited budget, would unleash one of the greatest sequels of all time. Basically a remake of the first film with a series of adjustments to continue the story in a logical manner, Cameron proved that imagination and drive could make up for the simplicity of a plot that had been presented before - Cinema is no stranger to The Apocalypse in its many forms. Take a listen as we reminisce on this incredible film and continue falling down the rabbit hole as we dive further into the struggles, dangers, and promise of AI. It's a good talk. Let us know what you think - gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many, Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

Welcome back to another edition of the Video Store Podcast. In honor of Women's History Month, I've selected four films featuring what I like to call “Wonder Women.” These are women who are brave, kind, strong, and all-around wonderful. This isn't meant to be an exhaustive list—simply four films that resonate with me personally as a woman, and you should watch, whether you're a woman or not. Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)First up is the 1991 Oscar-nominated film, Fried Green Tomatoes. The film stars Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary-Louise Parker, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Tandy, among others. Fried Green Tomatoes is based on the book Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, who also wrote the first draft of the screenplay. This film flashes between the 1920s and the 1980s, looking at Wonder Women through all stages of life. No matter where you find yourself, Fried Green Tomatoes is a great film to enjoy with the wonderful women in your life. Steel Magnolias (1989)Next up is Steel Magnolias from 1989. Focusing on southern women's culture in the 1980s, Steel Magnolias highlights the friendship among six women who must persevere through difficult circumstances. Starring Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, and Tom Skerritt, Steel Magnolias expertly blends comedy and drama, making a great movie full of Wonder Women. 9 to 5 (1980)The second Dolly Parton film in today's line-up is 9 to 5. The film, in addition to Dolly Parton, features Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dabney Coleman. Highlighting 1980s office politics that are unfortunately still all too relevant today, 9 to 5 tackles serious women's issues with humor, making their points even more effective and poignant. This is a great laugh after the tear-jerking drama after Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes. Alien (1979)The last film in our Wonder Women selections is 1979's Alien directed by Ridley Scott. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Yaphet Kotto, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, and Bolaji Badejo as the Xenomorph, Alien, is a phenomenal sci-fi horror film. Alien's leading wonder woman, Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, is an amazing sci-fi heroine. She's smart, brave, and resourceful, totes a flamethrower, and has a kitty-cat sidekick. What more do you want in a film about a Wonder Woman? We hope you enjoy these films and come back and see us next week on the Video Store Podcast. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!
