Join us as we talk about this cult classic 90s Star trek parody! We'll break down this icon Tim Allen role where he leads his crew of... well... actors into space to battle the evil green dude, and save the remaining Termites.... or Thermians. Find out what we think of this star studded space comedy.
Sometimes we turn into a fanboy and a fangirl for an entire episode...and this is one of those times. Have You Ever Seen #626 has us absolutely loving Galaxy Quest, which is director Dean Parisot's best film and it's also probably the best-ever Star Trek movie. All the characters get terrific arcs, but particularly Tim Allen as the arrogant commander. As great as he is in the leading role, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Enrico Colantoni and especially Sam Rockwell are hilarious throughout too. They play bad actors from a cancelled sci-fi TV show who get to become heroes, as Colantoni and the alien Thermians enlist the humans to battle a great villain (Robin Sachs as Sarris). And the obsessive nerds who worship the stars of their favourite show get to be heroes too. So discover that intense fandom can be what saves your life as we rave and then rave some more about Galaxy Quest.

"Galaxy Quest," a film that transcends the traditional boundaries of sci-fi comedy, cleverly satirises the tropes of classic science fiction television series while simultaneously paying heartfelt homage to them. Directed by Dean Parisot and released in 1999, the movie stars an ensemble cast including Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, and Daryl Mitchell. It's a film that not only fans of sci-fi can appreciate but also offers plenty of laughs, excitement, and emotional depth for a broader audience.The premise of "Galaxy Quest" is both a parody and a tribute to the cult phenomenon of TV shows like "Star Trek" and their fervent fan bases. The story follows the washed-up cast of the fictional '80s television series "Galaxy Quest," who, decades after the show's cancellation, make their living through re-runs and sci-fi conventions. The twist comes when they are mistaken for real space heroes by an alien race, the Thermians, who have modelled their entire society on the "Galaxy Quest" TV series, believing the episodes to be historical documents.Tim Allen's portrayal of Jason Nesmith, who played the show's commander, Peter Quincy Taggart, is a standout. Allen captures the bravado and the vulnerability of a man struggling to reconcile his past glory with his present reality. Sigourney Weaver, as Gwen DeMarco, provides not only comic relief but also a strong and savvy presence, challenging the typical damsel-in-distress trope often seen in sci-fi. Alan Rickman, in the role of Alexander Dane, a classically trained actor who resents his typecasting as the alien Dr. Lazarus, delivers his lines with a delicious mix of disdain and despair, providing one of the film's most heartfelt performances.The brilliance of "Galaxy Quest" lies in its ability to poke fun at the clichés of the genre while also respecting the source material. The film cleverly uses the conventions of science fiction—such as teleportation, space battles, and alien encounters—to both parody and celebrate the genre. The Thermians, with their octopus-like true forms hidden beneath human exteriors, symbolise the sometimes awkward but genuine passion of the sci-fi fandom. Their naivety and earnestness in seeking the help of the "Galaxy Quest" crew to save their civilization from the malevolent warlord Sarris (played menacingly by Robin Sachs) add to the film's charm and humour.One of the movie's most significant achievements is its commentary on the nature of fandom and celebrity. "Galaxy Quest" depicts the actors' initial disdain for the conventions and the fans, seeing them as reminders of their failed careers. However, as the story progresses, they come to appreciate the impact their roles have had on their fans' lives, especially the Thermians. This evolution mirrors the journey many actors associated with typecast roles undergo, eventually embracing the love and adoration of the fan community.The screenplay, written by David Howard and Robert Gordon, balances the comedic and dramatic elements seamlessly, creating a narrative that is engaging and emotionally resonant. The dialogue is sharp, filled with memorable lines that have become quotable among fans. The visual effects, while not groundbreaking, effectively serve the story, adding to the film's charm rather than distracting from it."Galaxy Quest" also explores themes of identity, redemption, and the power of belief. Each character undergoes a personal journey, discovering their strength and value beyond their typecast roles. The film's climax, involving a "Galaxy Quest" convention, underscores the idea that belief in oneself and in others can lead to real-world heroism, a message that resonates well beyond the confines of the story.In retrospect, "Galaxy Quest" has grown from a cult classic into a beloved gem, appreciated for its witty satire, emotional depth, and loving tribute to the sci-fi genre and its fans. The film's enduring popularity is a testament to its quality, humor, and the universal appeal of its underlying themes. It serves as a reminder that, sometimes, to find our true selves, we need to embrace the roles we've been given, no matter how alien they may seem.In conclusion, "Galaxy Quest" stands as a pinnacle of sci-fi comedy, expertly blending satire, heart, and adventure. Its clever script, combined with strong performances from the cast, makes it a standout film that continues to entertain and inspire. Whether you're a die-hard sci-fi aficionado or simply in search of a film that offers laughs and a warm heart, "Galaxy Quest" is a journey worth taking. Its message of unity, understanding, and the transformative power of believing in one's self and others is as relevant today as it was at the time of its release.

By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, the BeWBs will not stop until they've conquered every space show and movie under and beyond the sun! This time, Meg and Carla take their aim at 1999's Galaxy Quest (DreamWorks / Universal).Unlike the well-meaning bit dopey Thermians, we know this is all just entertainment. It doesn't make it any easier to separate the actors from their characters, however, and believe it or not this ends up working out for the best. Our trio is made up of Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman) Gwen DeMarco (Sigourney Weaver), and Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), and we have a lot to say about each! So, who gets the ring, the fling, or the guillotine? Press play and find out!
We're kicking off season 2 with a sci-fi film month, starting with one of our all-time favorites, fake Star Trek masterpiece Galaxy Quest! We welcome Katherine Pyeatt to discuss Star Trek fandom, the majestic Alan Rickman, celebrity restroom encounters, Galaxy Quest's influence on the Kelvin timeline, our love for the Thermians whether in human or octopus form, and the awesome intersection of fantasy and reality that makes this movie so great. By Grabthar's hammer, what an episode!

Welcome abroad the FCPV (From a Certain Point of View) 4520 Starship Pretender. Our crew is accosted by Thermians and compelled to review one of the greatest parody films ever made. From sly references to Jim Kirk's hubris to Sigourney Weaver climbing through airducts, again, this film is filled with all the easter eggs sci-fi fans love. We fight Gorignak the Rock Monster, we love Fred falling in love with tentacle girls (gotta skirt that line very carefully), and all the while hoping Guy doesn't go the way of the "red shirts" to be offed on an alien planet. There are really so many references that we want to say here but that's for the podcast to explain about the movie we just watched. By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of- SHUT UP!!!!
We are back! And talking about Galaxy Quest – the most perfect of movies…except that it doesn't have a lot of science, oops Show Notes -Beryllium: from the movie, from reality –Thermians
In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing GALAXY QUEST (1999), which we watched on STARZ, but available for rent on other platforms. With screenplay credits to David Howard and Robert Gordon, and directed by Dean Parisot; the film follows the story of actors from an old sci fi TV show, Galaxy Quest, who are at another Con, meeting fans and engaging in the same repetitive theater that comes along with this type of fame. However at one event, extraordinary events lead to this ragtag cast of actors to really learn the value of team work and for their leader played by Jason Nesmith (a very charming Tim Allen) to suddenly realize the true value of his fellow actors all the while saving Earth and the Thermians, all the while trying to get back in time to fulfill their obligations at the Con. A fun comedy that's all heart and fun family viewing - a definite MUST watch for any lover of comedy or just good storytelling. The film has a run time of 1 h 42 m and is rated PG. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. Opening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library. This first episode of the new year is lovingly dedicated to a dear friend, Che Allen, a fantastic colleague and friend. I am privileged and honored to know her! This episode also goes out to Jack M for his thoughtfulness and generosity - TY! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jokagoge/support
This week Stu and James leave planet Pod and take to outer space to review Galaxy Quest - The sci-fi adventure series "Galaxy Quest" took place aboard the intergalactic spaceship NSEA Protector. Eighteen years after their series was canceled, actors Jason Nesmith, Gwen DeMarco, Sir Alexander Dane, Tommy Webber and Fred Kwan (along with Guy Fleegman) are making appearances in costume and character at sci-fi conventions and electronic store openings. The cast members are wallowing in despair and at each other's throats until aliens known as Thermians arrive and, having mistaken the series for reality and consequently modeling their entire culture around this, take them into outer space to save them from the genocidal warlord General Sarris.

This week on The Tape Store we wrap up our 2-part discussion on Galaxy Quest. We cover the individual character arcs of the Galaxy Quest crew and how they went from washed-up actors to real-life heroes as they found true courage in themselves. This was of course, only made possible by the pure-hearted Thermians like the brave and benevolent Mathasar (Enrico Colantoni), and the loyal Quellek (Patrick Breen). We also discussed how the "pretending" in acting and theatre creates real and tangible feelings and inspiration for fans and followers, and how the power of the things we do to help others should never be underestimated.

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 ...

A bit of review Because we really enjoyed this movie. The team A human, a green humanoid, an enhanced raccoon, Drax, and a hypermobile hyperintelligent tree. Rocket Raccoon Cybernetic skeletons. Animal intelligence. Cognitive enhancement and different types of intelligence. Drax Kinda like a grey hulk. Putting our lack of comics expertise on display. Groot How plants work. Nitrogen from the air making 50% of tree biomass. Plant regeneration and communication. Language considerations! Yay! Possible layers of complexity under “I am Groot.” The different ways that could or could not represent language. The complexity of metaphors and similar linguistic mechanisms, and how Drax’s people could lack understanding. Thermians. Tamarians. Old Terran technology Chris Pratt’s cassette tapes. Batteries. Audio cassette technology. Wearing oxides and tape-stretching. Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly? by Patrick Willems: YouTube Guardians of the Galaxy 2: iTunesAmazon Support the show!
