The way Alan Rickman delivers the "By Grabthar's hammer, what a savings" line towards the beginning of the movie is just so perfect. It kills me every time.
Its the perfect counter-point to his very genuine delivery later in the film when Quellek is dying. Since it shows how the line has become less than meaningless to his character, only for it to in that later instant become deeply important to him for what it means to somebody else.
Same!
@@Thegreatequalizer well said. i'm glad the guys touched on this too.
Here when this vid was called “galaxy quest YT” 😂
If you're doing 90's sci-fi you really need to do The Fifth Element
And certainly Gattaca and Dark City.
There’s a Wikipedia page about The Learning Annex. I remember it from my early 20s when I lived in New York in the 2000s. It was an adult education thing with courses and speakers and stuff. I think Sex & The City referenced it, too, in a few episodes. The Learning Annex felt a bit like a meme before memes existed. 😂 it might have also been more of a New York based thing and sort of an NY in joke.
They were in Los Angeles and San Francisco as well. The newsstands that held their monthly catalogs were everywhere in downtown areas. Courses offered ranged from actual useful skills such as financial management to wacky psychic stuff.
He misheard it as "Learning Addicts", so he was looking up the wrong thing.
Every week since episode one, I look forward to this show. You guys are rad.
That was infact a perfect De Niro face
Galaxy Quest holds a special place in my heart. Not only because it sits alongside one of my favorite movie release years I've experienced in my life but that it also shares an interesting genre I was introduced to with a lot of my other favorite movies coincidentally released that same year: metastorytelling.
Galaxy Quest, The Matrix, Fight Club, and to a slightly lesser degree South Park and Iron Giant all have their titles represented as a concept within their own story leading my pubescent mind to have a revelation of stories about storytelling/ers.
Not a unique genre today but back then it blew my mind that so many movies that fit this metastory genre came out in a single year.
The show galaxy quest within the movie galaxy quest had revealed this story of the power of storytelling and the tribulations of storytelling by team with Tim Allen's character being an analogue to a director that needs to learn to respect the human value of their production team.
The Matrix within the movie The Matrix reveals a meta commentary on the relationship between humanity's biology and psychology with storytelling and how that god-like power of drama is within every living person (observer).
Fight Club the concept within the movie revealing a story of Fincher's feelings towards his own Hollywood storytelling industry.
And Terrence and Phillip being an analogue to, while being within, South Park the movie reveals a story about the creators scathing feelings towards those that believe animation should be shackled to one specific set of values.
I love this freaking film. Showed it to my kids for the first time a few weeks ago and it definitely still holds up.
Sigourney 's role was a juxtaposition of her Alien character.. it made perfect sense.
Great episode talking about one of my favourite movies!
Although it says something about my inner lighting nerd that the first thing I noticed was the Astera control box on the table beside the iPad that no doubt is connected to it :)
34:00 There was a company called The LEarning Annex, but from what i remember a learning annex was like, a convention hall, that was used for regular people, to teach other people how to do everyday things that arent really taught anywhere sort of like a community-community college.
Like, if you wanted to know how to repair your dish washer, you looked to see if any of the places were going to have an in person class.
The way Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen's character) acts in the beginning of the movie is directly inspired by William Shatner in The Original Series, where he was kind of an *checks canadian thesaurus* unpleasant person on set, thinking and acting like the entire show centered around him.
Also you haven't watched Galaxy Quest until you've seen it with entirely Thermian dubbing :P (Yes it exists, iirc on both bluray and dvd releases)
Riley, I'm fairly certain that the ship scraping scene and the impossible physics of it, was intentional, not an oversight :)
It works because the actors are all A+, this cast is unbelievable, such a good movie
By Grabthar's hammer, what a podcast!
Oh and with the bathroom scenes (with the fans being overheard mocking him) being too on the nose. That's inspired by stories of Willian Shatner getting ready to go to a Star Trek convention and hearing similar criticism.
anyone else see the tiny thing crawling around in the top left quadrant of the video? on a separate note, i adored this movie! thanks for covering it!
ruclips.net/video/EUu0bnDNC-A/видео.html Probably this same spider. Linus isn't the only one constructing a home it seems.
I think, Galaxy Quest is one of the movies, I rated a perfect 100%!
I love this movie, it has a kind of magic - there were 1000 ways it could have been cringey or offensive but they manage to just get everything right. Even more amazing when there was so much confusion about what the movie was supposed to me. One of the things that stands out to me is the change of perspective of the cast who are trapped in the viewpoint of they did this little show that was inconsequential and either the outcome for them is a way to maintain fame, or something they are just reliant on for making a buck (or even a sense of shame this is what they are rememebered for, not their art). I remember the story of Nichelle Nichols having quit as Uhura and then being introduced to 'her greatest fan' at a fund raiser - Martin Luther King - who told her she had to stay as what she was doing was so important in what it was showing. There are countless stories of where shows like Star Trek have had a massive impact on people at low points in their lives or have been formative in how they grew up. For me I remember Quantum Leap in this way - it exposed me to so many ideas and thoughts on the world and it's good and it's bad. Anyway, the point being the cast in Galaxy Quest (as many real life genre actors have) came to understand and appreciate what it means to it's audience and that can be a completely different and valid thing beyond what it meant to actually act in the show, and that deserves respect and is something completely different you can appreciate and enjoy with the fandom.
Love the astera tube bridge box 🤘
I just watched this with a friend for the first time the other day. This movie is GOLD.
Star Trek = Galaxy Quest
Odd Job = Random Task
Missed the Weaver the character’s arc. The change in her is confidence and competence and how she views herself through that lense.
I saw it in the theater on a date. I loved it and laughed so much I ruined my make up.
It's one of my all time favorites. It's my go to happy place still.
Grew up in the Fandom, worked at JPL, had my wedding at the Cal Tech Anthenaeum, so I might be biased.
Think you heard learning addicts but it's learning annex. In the states anyhow its usually a rented public place that offers a day or week course for different things like cooking, pottery, arts, etc. From my understanding its not a single company and more just people doing it, I remember hearing and seeing references for it for years and years back before the internet and things like skillshare, etc
Just for fairness' sake, can you do another Riley favourite, since the Annihilation episode isn't going to be released?
Galaxy Quest... What a blast from the past (but in the best way, as it has kept its charm and humor with age!). I originally saw it in the cinema when I went for a friend's birthday - we were all 8 or 9 years old and enjoyed it then - so it's especially nice that it still held up when I watched it earlier this year. Also, Alan Rickman... There is just something so special about how he was able to pull off dark/surly characters with charm.
Hi guys, thanks for the mention at the end of the episode, I was the person who wrote in with the archaeological take on the Rings of Power. @RILEYismyname I addressed some of your points in the full email. It'd be great hear your lore based take on it if you have time!
3:28 If i remember correctly, that actor came up with the alien mannerisms and speech patterns and taught the other actors
In a show I did once (The Miser by Moliere), my voice was a combo of the aliens in Galaxy Quest and Maxwell Sheffield from The Nanny... try it... it's amazing. lol
43:14 can almost guarantee this movie James is talking about is Wild America
Petition to upload TJM highlights to the LMG Clips channel
Love you guys. Please consider doing an ep. on Cyberpunk Edgerunners. It’s a legit a cool, thoughtful, and impressive anime. It almost makes up for the disappointing launch condition of the game.
Wouldn't mind seeing this cast's cameo in the Orvill show.
Jame's probably would have liked it better back then as all the stars were at peak points in their careers.
The cast choice was absolutely amazing to us when it came out.
Even Star Trek conventions were at peak at the time. ;O)-
Oh man. Enrico is amazing in flashpoint... Gotta check that out, won a few awards
I adore this movie and have seen it many many times, but I think I agree with an 8, maybe 8.5. It has issues, but it basically accomplishes everything it set out to do.
"Galaxy Quest YT"
FYI - Enrico (Toronto represent!!) made up the Thermian speech pattern based on actor's vocal exercises, and the director liked it ;) And yes, Shaloob was s'pose to be stoned, but when the Suits said, "we can't do that", the editing and scenes end up weird...
Re: BTS comments from one of the producers, that some comedies should learn from, including Orville, "When doing comedy, play it straight (aka serious)"
the orville started off rough but that's actually been one of it's strengths imo.
Lol Galaxy Quest YT
Have you guys reviewed any of the insidious films?
Is it a SAG thing? Like, my company is a paying member of our area's Safety Council for local construction and industrial companies. We are required to attend so many safety, health and compliance meetings (courses?) per year
A 'learning annex' is (used to be?) a seperate segment of some 'standard' higher education institutions (hence the annex part) designed for the additional or continued education for adult students already engaged in a career. These were supplementary informational courses usually targeted toward specific training/skills and not designed to be taken as part of a degree program.
Good god, I must be old. It sounds like these aren't a thing anymore. I had no idea.
In LA, at the time, it was a hodge podge of classes. Some were really good continuing Ed or skill based cousres, some were just schlock- tarot reading, how to start a mail order motivational speaking course, and tons of acting adjacent courses. The mailer was thick and came free.
Literally anyone with $30-$100 bucks could show up.
I am old too.
My hubs was a writer on the Simpsons and would teach them to pay our health insurance.
Damm man I loved Galaxy Quest, great to see you guys covering it.
When choosing whether to say "homidge" or "oh mahj" consider whether you also say "or derves" or "horse doovers". Either carry the french accent through all french words or dont do any of them.
When I found out a family member worked on this film I fell in love. My favorite factoid was that ILM did the sfx for the film, the same company founded by George Lucas and who did the effects for Star Wars!
The Best Star Trek Movie*
* since First Contact
Small stupid anecdote: I didn't shed a tear when either of my grandparents died....
I cried when I heard, Alan Rickman died.....
Surely The Princess Bride after Starship Troopers
Never Surrender is a great documentary/behind the scenes look about Galaxy Quest, on Prime Video
14:00 If you start another podcast to review B movies/DV shows, you could call it Boot Campy
Yes! The trio
Only an hour and eleven minutes? I was hoping this would be a three hour extravaganza episode.
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone has many common things to galaxy quest, im not going to say which they are, just watch it and you guys will notice them from the start, not asking for a review, just a fun/b movie
I loved this movie and it does not matter if I watched it like a hundred times, when it on hbo, I rewatch it. To this day, I still don't know why they did not made a sequel.
James' De Niro impression >>
This is the first show of yours I caught. It will not be the last.
I love this movie! Happy to see this movie get some love.
David - Star Trek IV. Has a point. Is the best one. 🙂
Love Galaxy Quest I think another movie from the time is Mom and Dad Save the World.
manscape 90 min sounds noy enough
last time i sheared mine
took 4 highland shepherd's 8 days on 12 hour rotation
cool 😎 🆒️ 😎 8k
you need to do Johnny Mnemonic
It’s Learning Annex, not Learning Addicts :) The Learning Annex was this adult Ed company thing.
Did u guys forget about starship troopers this week or what?
do bullet train next
Do the new Star Trek movies they’re sick asf
Can't you be a fan of both star trek and star wars? I don't get why it seems it's either or.
...loved the movie !
It is ranked at no7 best star trek movie, its clearly 2. (Maybe 1)
So loved but so underrated, was destined for a series, but Alan died...FUCK.
There were plans 18y later....2017. Think it was greenlighted even
with the original cast. Alan's departure staled and in the end cancelled it.
Tim and Sig could not go on i think. Alan was intergral.
Tim Allen is not Buzz hes Jason Nezmith, but although ive watched the
movie 50times he is not JN hes is Peter Quincy Taggart, i dont ever remember that.
"Learning Annex" -- sounds like you searched 'addicts'?
The "screw this" was not something they wanted. It is the best out all possible options though. It is its own 4th wall break joke. A swear isn't funny. Saying "screw this" isn't funny. Having it dubbed in an over the top obvious way? -- that's hilarious! Unintentionally the best.
you gotta do dr strange love
41:40 What about being conservative makes Tim Allen unlikeable?
It's "learning annex" Completely googleable.
aaaww you guys
does somebodies want their danglies tickled
no
scaz raises hand
❤️ ×3
xx
The only character from RoP that breaks my immersion due to skin color is durin's wife princess disa...from my understanding dwarves spend most of their time mining/building underground? Other than that it doesn't really bother me and at the end of the day I'm just glad that we got more lotr content that isn't bad.
It's not the best Star Trek movie I'm so sick and tired of hearing that shit.
It's the third best Star Trek movie.🤣🤣🤣🤣
And then it exploded…
David just exudes "tolerant" liberal vibes. Not just here but in other movie reviews as well, but his Tim Allen comments cemented his stereotype. I actually had to Google and see what exactly Tim had done or said to earn his scorn, thinking he had made some hateful comments and I guess making fun of biden was enough?
I probably misspoke but the things I've heard about Tim Allen are that he is a huge asshole and that no one wants to hire him because he's exceptionally challenging to work with. You're right that just being conservative shouldn't necessarily be the thing that cancels him and that's my bad for communicating that. -DG
@41:42 HE'S CONSERVATIVE?? Thats ur reason. How do u get out of bed in the morning with all the stress
That wasn't the reason, just the most polite term for it.
@@zerorig thats even weaker. No need for politeness, be specific. I live in a country with more a system with more than two parties which offers a lot of choice and im certainly not conservative myself but to speak disparagingly about someone because of who they might vote for is part of the reason the world's on fire atm
Its a melancholic movie for me now, tim allens cancelled for not being a commie, alan rickmans long gone, star treks been awful for many years now....
What's wrong with being a conservative?
if u want to gaim views better is to review recent movies
check some movie review channels
Google didn't tell you about en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Learning_Annex ? How did it not bring this up?
