 that I'm unmuted. All right. Hey, Dan. What's going on? Oh, you know, just flying through space, so I did have some fun on one of my favorite movies. Sometimes, literally, yeah, this is a great one. I'm so glad we're able to talk about this one tonight. Hey, everybody who's joined us, we're going to talk in a minute, but for those of you who haven't used Zoom before, if you'd like to post a question or a comment or an observation or pretty much anything you'd like to say, at the bottom of your screen, there is a Q&A button, so just feel free to type in any thoughts you might have. We're going to have a good time with this. So tonight, we're talking about Galaxy Quest, which, as we were just talking about a minute ago, can you believe this movie is 21 years old? No. It seems like it came out yesterday. My gab's our hammer. I cannot believe it. All right. So we're actually going to show you some clips that we've put together. There's some deleted scenes in here and a few others, and we're going to show you that, and then we'll be back to talk about it. I can't wait. There's so many good scenes in here, so yeah. Yeah, of course there are. Like you said, they're deleted scenes, and then there are a couple ones of our favorites. All right. Let's go to Infinity and Beyond. Oh wait, different movie. Wrong one. Huh, I see. That is a puzzler. What do you think? That possibly the valence bonds have shifted bilaterally? What does that mean? What does that mean? Yes, I see. Uh, yes, it means that the bonding molecules have become covalent. So, so the solution is to introduce a bonding substrate, a two molecule compound sharing a free electron and bombard the ion with a reflective isotopes. Huh. He's got it. Yeah. Of course, it's so obvious, Sergeant Chen, you're a genius. Dr. Lazmonds, I hope I'm not reaching protocol, but I am so very humbled to stand in your presence. I have studied your missions extensively, though I am Thurmian, I have lived my life by your philosophy, by the code of the Mac time. Oh, good. Very nice. By Grabthar's hammer, Dr. Lazmonds? Don't do that. I'm not kidding. I'm sorry, sir, I was only- Just don't. Your quarters, sir. Open. This is it. Yes. Marvelous, isn't it? Completely distraction-less. Where's the bed? Just as on your home planet, sir. If I may say, it took me three years to master the spikes, but now I sleep with a piece I never thought possible. Isn't that the bathroom? Yes, sir. The use of your waste facilities were strangely absent from the historical documents, so we had to extrapolate purely on the basis of your anatomy. You're quite complicated, sir. It's about this much. No, it's a scale. Is it 10 miles or 100 miles? It's this much. Ah! It's coming! It's coming! Let's catch it! It's coming! I told you five minutes! Hey, come on! I told you five minutes! Get out of the way! Pull. It's your imagination. Your foot got caught in a rock. Something grabbed me. Something grabbed me. It's under control now. Look, he's playing his good side. What are you talking about? Let the sucked-in gut. Check out the foot on the rock. It's the rugged pose. Guy. Guy. Guy. Guy, let go of me. Guy, please. I'm just going to press this blue button, then we'll talk about whatever, all right? Shit is about to explode! Oh, the whole thing gone! It's a new one! There's no trick! This is not a trick! You know, this one is strangely attractive. Oh, great. Perfect. Go! That's it! As if you seek pleasure from an animal! Yes, I know. Oh, which is so very flattering. Okay, you really think you can handle me? When? Okay. When? Come on. Come on, give it to me. Come on, both of you. Give it to me, you great, big, burning, hunks of green computer. We're going to need some privacy. Can you please close blast section 19? Corey, estimated in 30 seconds. No one ever takes me seriously. Well, now how are you feeling, huh? Do you take me seriously now? Come on! By Graptar's hammer, by the sons of Warvan, I shall avenge you. By Graptar's hammer, I'll get him moved to the right. Would you sit your ass down? Sit! You want to drive this thing? Listen to me. This is Jason Nesmith, NSEA protector. We accidentally traded boxes the other day when we bumped into each other. Oh, Commander, I see. Okay. What's your name, son? Brandon, I remember you from the convention, right? You asked all those little technical questions about the ship. And I was a little short with you. Yes, yes. I know, Commander, and I actually want to, just wanted to tell you that I thought a lot about what you said. It's okay, now listen. But, but, I want you to know that I'm not a complete brain case, okay? Really, that is just a TV show. I know there's no premiums. Wait a minute. Stop, stop for a second. Stop, wait. No ship. It's all real. Oh my God, I knew it. I knew it! I knew it! The crew and I are in a lot of trouble and we need your help. I changed my mind, don't worry. Fuss you made about getting left behind. Yeah, but that's what I thought. I thought I was the crew man that stays on the ship and something is up there and it kills me. Five minutes after we land on the planet. You're not gonna die on the planet, guy. I'm not. What's my last name? You know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name. Because I'm gonna die. Five minutes in. Die. You have a last name. Do I! Do I! Number six! It's not too bad. We took the medical courses and you'll be fine. It has been my greatest honor to serve with you. I have been blessed, sir. We had never before met. I always considered you as a father to me. It's so amazing. I mean, it's not, I mean, you know, this has been jokingly called the best Star Trek movie ever made. But, I mean, there's references in this to, let's see, I can't, I lost count. Battlestar Galactica, Lost in Space, Buck Rogers, Kung Fu, Alien, Sigourney Weaver was an alien. Planet of the Apes, there's like a whole, like it just, like they keep rolling one right after the other. You know, I know you're more of a Star Wars guy. I was, you know, we felt like being a Star Trek movie. It actually got, there are 12 Star Trek movies, like official Star Trek movies. And I guess they did a poll of the fan base and this came in at number seven. I mean, it's such an excellent homage. I mean, I'm a Star Wars guy at heart, but I'm a big next generation fan. And I feel like, you know, there's a lot of the original Star Trek in there, but there's a good amount of nods to, you know, they're, you know, Patrick Stewart, Patrick Stewart, you know, was like one of those guys where like he was a serious actor and he doesn't want to be known for Star Wars. That's Alan Rickman, you know, in this. I mean, I, people, anybody who wants to join in can join in. I mean, you have the nameless crewman who gets killed, you know, or is afraid to get killed. You got the effect where they shake the camera to make it look like the ship's been hit and all. You know, Tim Allen loses his shirt in the fight with the rock monster, like Shatner used to. And they fight, you know, Tim Allen and Alan Rickman are always fighting, like supposedly Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were. Everything. And did you ever notice that the design of the ship looks like a Star Trek badge? Like the, the comb badge? Oh, yeah, yeah. I never, I never noticed that until the other day. It's the opposite. It's the opposite of the enterprise. The NTE on the, on the ship means not the enterprise. According to the effects guy. I mean, why not? I believe that's a good Easter egg. It's a great Easter egg. And, you know, they, the original director for this was going to be Harold Ramis. And he did not want Tim Allen. And I guess Dreamworks, when they were, when they were casting it, they wanted, Harold Ramis wanted Alec Baldwin. Because they went with the idea that they want, they would rather have an action guy playing comedy than having a comedian trying to be an action guy. And Alec Baldwin didn't want to do it. And then somehow, I don't know how they, exactly they ended up with Tim Allen, but Harold Ramis totally, he quit rather than work with Tim Allen. And I guess he had to like eat crow a few years later and, you know, say he was, say he was, you know, wrong. I guess for, for not wanting to use him in the park. But Sigourney Weaver, because remember, Sigourney Weaver worked with Harold Ramis and Ghostbusters. And she couldn't, she couldn't understand like why he didn't want to work with Tim Allen to begin with. But the original, you know, do you remember the mockumentary they made when this movie first came out? You probably, you might not have, you might not have seen it. No, I didn't. But I saw a couple trailers for it when I was looking for scenes. And I mean, it looks really cool. Yeah, on one of the cable networks, they actually produced a mockumentary as if Galaxy Quest was a real show coming back, you know, for its reunion or whatever. And if you didn't know what you were looking at, a lot of people bought into it because it was so, they thought it was real. I mean, it was, it was so, it was so accurate. And I guess the original idea came, some of the original writer, he gets some, he gets co-credited on the final script. But the original guy that they had had written this, I guess he was watching some NASA documentary that was being narrated by Leonard Nimoy. And he got the idea about how all those guys have been pigeonholed into their roles. And, you know, Nimoy wrote books about how he's not Spock. And I think, you know, what would happen, like, you know, if they actually encountered real aliens. And I guess it was not, it was really dark. I mean, like the original story was not a comedy. It was really like just this high concept of what happens if these washed up actors meet real aliens. And so they gave it to, when they optioned it, they gave it to another guy who put in all the humor. And he was a big Star Trek fan, but he didn't want to, I guess, you know, he didn't really want to poke fun at it. But once he bought into the idea, he, he kind of just like went, like the part about the ship hitting the wall when it's leaving the space dock. Like he took all those references from all these different movies and just, you know, put a little spin on it to make it look like, to look more ridiculous. I love the special effects of this movie because I think it's so underrated. Cause during that time, I mean, I think they still hold up. It's like, cause they really did a good job of blending practical effects and digital effects. Like the rock monsters, you can tell is all CGI and definitely looks a little dated now. But like the big thing that they beam up is like, you can tell it's practical and I still think we're so good. And yeah, it was the same guy. It was, you remember Stan Winston, right? Stan Winston was the guy who did Planet of the Apes. And he's the guy who, I think it was Planet of the Apes. Like he wanted the mass, the alien faces to actually have expressions. So you had to figure out a way for the actors, when the actors talked like, how do you make the masks mimic what their faces would be doing underneath? And that was like, I guess a big sticking point for them. But it's also, you know, that when they go down to the rock planet, you've seen that landscape in like half the shows on sci-fi TV, right? That's the episode where Kirk fights the Gorn and where, you know, like it's like every Buck Rogers episode that took place outside of the city, that they all use that same desolate landscape. It's like, you know, oh yeah, they're gonna, and he calls it. Remember, because like the whole point is that you're following the stereotypes and the contrivances of those movies. And so like they call what's happening, like as he goes along. Oh yeah, now, you know, when they meet the little, the little like midget things that look like babies. And he says, no, they're gonna do something horrible and multiply. And like, that's exactly what happens. Like they really, I mean, they really tapped into it. But I mean, I guess even if you were never a Star Trek fan, you can still, I mean, it's still really funny. I mean, you just, it just operates on a completely different level. Yeah, you probably wouldn't get some of the jokes, but I still think you'd really enjoy the film. And I mean, it's, it's core, it's like a great adventure, you know, because of just how the concept of them, you know, going up and seeing the actual, you know, one of my favorite lines is like, you know, all that stuff that I said is bogus, like it's all real. And he's like, I knew it. I knew it, right? I think that really taps into like the inner nerd of all of us who want it to be real so bad. And then the dreams finally come true. Yeah. And there's actually no, I was watching, when I was watching a couple of days ago, there's one scene. You remember, it's the one where they're, they're crawling, they're, they're trying to make their way through the ship to get to the, to the Omega 13. And they have to go to an obstacle course. And, and she, she looks at you, if you read her lips, she says something completely different. But Sigourney Weaver goes, screw this. And they dubbed it to get a PG 13 rating, because like that's not what she says when they filmed it. And it's really obvious. So I thought, am I watching like a made for TV version of this? Every version is like that. Like she never actually says it. But, and then, you know, I was like, why would you design a ship like this? You know, but I hate the writer who came up with this, you know, because I mimic the ship from the TV show. Yeah. But that was, you know, remember she says also, I mean, like the references are ridiculous. Like she says, why is it always crawling through ducks, which is what happens in Alien. You know, she does that in Alien. And Tony Shalhoub, you know, I mean, by all references, his character is supposed to be Asian, but he's not, which is like a reference to David Carradine playing, you know, Kung Fu. And the original series when they brought in Walter Koenig to be Chekhov. And, you know, he's like, you know, playing a nationality that he's really not. I mean, like all he's worth it. And Sam Rockwell has that scene where he does Bill Paxton from Aliens when he melts down, you know, like they're getting closer. What's this green dot? Oh, this is the red, green dot's us, where the red dot, you know, and trying to read all the stuff. I mean, it's just, it's one after another, after another. And you forget about half of it. I mean, you really do. Yeah. I mean, such a good cast too, with, like you said, Tony Shalhoub and Sam Rockwell, who at the time, I don't know if Tony Shalhoub had done Men in Black yet, but, you know. Yeah, he was a character actor. He wasn't a character actor. Especially Sam Rockwell who's done such a good job, but he really added such, I think, life to that part where, you know, that scene where he's crying for his mommy because he doesn't know what's my last name. Right, right. And you know, there's a guy, they named him. There was a guy who was like a stuntman on Next Generation that they modeled him off of. He did everything. He doubled for everybody. And he's like the unknown guy. He was always the guy who played the red shirt, who gets killed. And they named, they named Sam Rockwell's character after him. Yeah. Because he's like, you know, he's toast. Like, you know, the second something bad happens. And the funny thing is, you remember at the end, I'm not giving any spoilers, like I'm sure everybody here has seen it, but when they have that moment where they get attacked on the ship and everybody gets shot, he's the one guy who doesn't get killed before they reset the whole thing. But the guy who gets killed all the time is the one guy who doesn't get shot. And it was amazing. He, you know, I think the other thing I thought that I never realized was when they, remember at the end when they relaunched the show, it's like Galaxy Quest, the adventure continues. So it's 17 or 18 years since the original show had gone off the air, which is the exact amount of time between Star Trek and Star Trek The Next Generation. It was 17 years. They were mimicking it, like down to the bone, like everything was just like a little twist on whatever had really, really happened. And there's a great, I don't know if you know this, but you know David Mammet, you know, David Mammet wrote, yeah. So he has a great book about the movie business called Bambi vs. Godzilla. And he names in that book, he says there have been four perfect movies, which are in chronological order, Doddsworth, A Place in the Sun, The Godfather, and Galaxy Quest. That's awesome. So you don't generally hear Galaxy Quest lumped into the same category as The Godfather all that often, but you know what? I mean, I totally deserves it. It's like a perfect harmony of all things that shouldn't work, but are working together perfectly. Right. And supposedly, I mean, they said Tim Allen was not really trying to channel William Shatner, but there's that pose he assumes in the captain's chair, which is totally it, and all that great stuff. And you know the scene in the men's room when he overhears the guys in the convention talking about what a loser he is and how all his castmates happen to him. So I don't know if you remember this, but like around the time that that happened, that really happened to William Shatner. I mean, that's a true story. And in the late 80s, I think it was like 87 or 88, he Shatner hosted Saturday Night Live and did a sketch that just like eviscerated the Trekkies. Like, I mean, just totally made for it. He took so much flak for that. It took him years. Like he wasn't welcome at conventions. I mean, he really went after them. He's like, you guys are all losers. When was the last time you kissed a girl? Some people may remember that. It was, he got into a boatload of trouble. And now he's very like, if you see him now, he's very self-deprecating about it. Like he just figures, well, there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm just gonna accept it. And I don't know if you've ever seen, if you remember the movie Free Enterprise, where it's about Star Trek convention, Shatner plays himself. But he plays himself as like this big over-the-top buffoon. But he's playing William Shatner. That's a great movie too. Free Enterprise is another one that would be great to talk about. And they were talking about making a sequel for years up until Alan Rickman passed away. I mean, who does such a great job also. I can't talk more enough about how great the cast is in this. I mean, especially that scene with him and Quillick. I mean, like, I don't know why. Every time I watch it, it gives me goosebumps. Just because of the whole Greptar's hammer and how much he hated saying it. Like, it's just so good. Right. But you know, it's like, you remember, for all, I mean, obviously he's supposed to be Leonard Nimoy. And you know, and that was like the whole issue, that Nimoy hated being typecast like that. But you notice for all the stuff that he hates the role, you never, ever, ever see him without the headpiece on. Like even when he's in his house talking on the phone, he's still wearing it. So like you've never, there's never a moment where he's about it. And then like, you know, they were supposed to, you know, when they were talking about like his seriousness as an actor, like they, you know, they had all these Shakespearean references. Like his name is supposed to be a play of Hamlet. You know, he's Alexander Dane. And there's a whole bit. A lot of turkey balls. That's right. Right. I don't know if you saw it in the, if you found it across the deleted scenes, but there's a bit where, where they cut it, where they talk about him being a knight, like he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Oh no. I think that one. They got rid of it. I guess maybe they never even filmed it, but I guess it was in part of the script. If you watch the closing credits, his character's name is Sir Alexander Dane. That's great. Like, oh wait, we have a comment. Oh, Steve. Hey, Steve. Steve is just pointing out the reason that they used the call letters NTE on the ship was in case Paramount decided to sue. So they could say, look, it's not the enterprise. That makes perfect sense to me. You know, there was a whole thing. It's kind of complicated. I'm not even sure I can quite hammer it out, but there was a whole thing between Viacom and CBS as to who owned the rights to Star Trek. And so like, that's why, you know, Star Trek Picard is on CBS All Access and it's a whole like legal mess, but Paramount has been notoriously like tight-fisted with the franchise because you remember a couple of years ago when they rebooted it? It's actually, it's been more than that, right? The reboot started in 2009, I think. Yeah. Yes. With the new cast. Yeah. I forget what the show's called, but it's got. Well, no, the movie. They rebooted the whole thing with Chris Pine and Jackie Chan. Yeah, I thought you were talking about the... Yeah. There's been so many iterations of Star Trek. Yeah, no, no. I thought about the movies, the movies. Yeah, that when they rebooted the movies, when they rebooted Star Trek in the movies, I don't know if you remember, but after the third one, which I guess was the last one at this point, they were trying to figure out, like, you know, now they're doing more television, they're doing the Picard series, but they were trying to get Quentin Tarantino was going to do a Star Trek movie. Yes, I remember hearing about that. Yeah. It was going to be like the first R-rated Star Trek movie, and he was saying that. And everybody was like this, and he had apparently had written it, it was all set to go, and Paramount, I guess, got scared and chickened out. But, I mean, can you imagine? Like, how great that would have been. Yeah. I mean, I can't even... Captain Kirk F-bombs, that's for sure. I can't even imagine, like, how that would have worked. And you know, there's a couple of people, you know, they're so young in this movie, like you totally forget they're in a just and long place, the kid, you know, he's done a lot of other, like, teen comedies, and Rainn Wilson. Quite true. Right. He's almost unrecognizable, you know, but he's very early on. You actually don't see him later. You see him in the first couple of scenes as one of the Thermians. And then, I don't remember seeing him again. I was looking for him because I forgot it was him and I didn't catch him. But that whole way that they had of speaking, you know, the way that they all talked, was all completely made up by, I'm going to butcher his name. The guy who plays Malthazar, oh my god, I'm blanking on his name. You know who I'm talking about. Not any of Morconi, he was a composer, he just passed away. You know who I mean, the guy who played Malthazar came up with the voice and I guess was so great in his audition for it that they used his audition tape to show to everybody else who was auditioning to play an alien, which they never do. I mean, they never, ever show you. Not supposed to, yeah. You're not supposed to show anybody else's audition tape, but they broke the protocol. They said, oh no, this guy is like the one. And you know, the other thing that they mentioned about the ship, you know how it looks like the combadge was, you know, just to be a play on it, if you look at the enterprise, the enterprise is a round ship with two and the back is a cylinder. And on this ship, the front is the cylinder and the back is rather the two, yeah. They just did, I mean, the level of detail, like I always appreciate, like when people have all that detail that they think of and they literally just put a little bit of a twist on it and then it becomes something completely different that you don't even realize. Yeah. I mean, you totally, you totally don't even realize that it's happening. And you know, I'm really bummed because I have a galaxy quest badge, but I left it. Oh, what happened? I mean, I left it at home. I had to, I stopped by my parents' house and I'm not at my house, so I left it. It's what you get for not being prepared. But I said, never give up, never surrender. So that's right. You know, it says that on the back wall of the theater because a couple of people who named the back bankettes, that's their quote, never give up, never surrender. And in terms of like all the references to 60s television, I mean, it really is about 1960s and 1970s TV, if you watched a lot of it. And his character's name, I didn't know this. I mean, it's kind of, it's a little bit of a stretch, but his character's name was Jason Nesmith, was supposed to be like Mike Nesmith, who was on The Monkees, because Walter Koenig was supposed to be like Davey Jones on Star Trek. And they tried to sort of draw a connection. I mean, I don't know if that was really intentional or not, but I guess they figured it was a 60 sounding name. So we can use it for that. I mean, a lot of fun. I mean, this is a movie that really is so worth watching. And I mean, you can, it does, Steve pointed out also, it holds up really, really well. I mean, you can, if you watch Star Trek, watch any Star Trek and then watch this, I mean, the TV show, not so much the movies, but you watch the TV show, and then you watch this one, it's even that much better. And there's a lot of stuff, there's a lot of things that we could actually probably do in this series that are spoofs that are like that. I mean, not, you have like the really big like Mel Brooks stuff, but there's a lot of other, a lot of subtler things that are, that are complete, like literally shot for shot rip offs of other, of other films. Yeah, it's like a term for when something is satirical, but ends up being a prime example of what it's supposed to sound like. Yeah, yeah, I forget the name escapes me. But the one, the one that I always remember, do you, and not to get too far off topic, but there was a Monty Python or really, it was an Eric Idle thing called the Ruttles, right? Which he was about, there's supposed to be the Beatles, but it's the Ruttles and it's like, the songs are all parodies. There's a documentary that came out in like the, I think it was like the very early 80s, it was actually before John Lennon was killed, they did a documentary called the Complete Beatles. And if you watch that documentary, if it's like 90 minutes, and then you watch the Ruttles, it's literally scene by scene by scene, they go through and they just spoof the documentary. And he's got people like John Belushi in it, and Eric Idle's in it, and Gilda Radner's in it, and Dan Ackroyd, he got all these people to be in it. And it's another part, it's something very much like this one, where it's like almost a classic just on its ear. So a lot of fun. Anybody else have any comments or thoughts they'd like to share? I'd rather watch the documentary, because I think you told me actually, that there was a documentary made on about Galaxy Quest. Yeah, well there's two. There's the mockumentary that they made when the movie came out. It was like a 20 minute almost like a Blair Witch type fake thing about as if the show were a real thing. And then after the movie, because the movie was not that popular when it first came out, it was okay, but it wasn't really a big hit. Afterwards, they came out with another documentary that took it much more seriously. Right, Never Surrender. Where they do interviews with like, they call them what, they're not Trekkies, they're Costerians. They call them like they're Costerians. I gotta watch it, I haven't seen it. And they make it sound like it's almost like one of those spinal taps slash, you know, Christopher Guest type things where it's almost completely improvised. But they interview the cast and they interview like the Costerians and it's like, it makes you think the show really is coming back. And the mockumentary was only like to be like a commercial, like a promotional tool. But the topumentary, they didn't know what they had. Yeah, and then we're gonna do a sequel, right? Yeah, yeah, I mean, I saw something, I actually looked it up today. Supposedly someone still has the rights to it and they could in theory still do it. But I don't know how you do it without them. I mean, it's just that would be like, you know, it'd be like doing Star Trek without Spock. I mean, literally it would be like doing Star Trek without Spock. I don't know how you get past it. Oh yeah, Steve says, well, if they really wanted to show the 60s, they would have had Sigourney Weaver in a mini dress. It's very true. Well, you know, it's funny because in the movie, I always wondered, like, I guess I just assumed it was like campy, like you didn't need reason for why her at the end or shirt kind of busts open, but... Well, now you know, because you have the deleted scene, you're right. Supposedly why. So it's like, oh, okay, it kind of makes sense now. Right, now you understand. And they gave, you know, the part, you know, you recognize the actress who plays the alien, the female alien that Tony Shalu falls in love with. You know, Miss T Pile, she's a character actor. She's been in a lot of stuff. She was, they fleshed out her part because they realized that Sigourney Weaver was the only woman in the movie. And they had to, I guess they thought, well, we can't have that. So we have to put another woman in the cast. And I mean, not that she says all that much, but you know, the part where she starts kissing him and like the tentacles and the look on Sam Rockwell's face when that happens, because you know, it's right in front of him and he's like, okay. I mean, it's brilliant. I mean, like these guys, what they all went on to do, I mean, Tim Allen was already and Sigourney Weaver was already a movie star. And I mean, I guess Alan Riffman was more or less, you know, from Effort Die Hard was pretty famous. But all these other guys in the cast, supporting cast were like not who they are now. And it's amazing. I mean, Sam Rockwell is such a great actor. And he has such a really weird sense of humor that you see in a lot of his other stuff. But it starts with this, because I mean, that bit, you played in the clip where he's crying on the way down. And then if you remember that when they first get up to the ship, when they all get taken up and then they don't believe him at first. And there's a moment where like, after this big pause on Sam Rockwell just screams at the top of his lungs. And if you watch the reactions, he improvised that. And you watch Sigourney Weaver's reaction. And she's like, oh my God, what's wrong with him? Like, she had a moment where it was real. She was not expecting him to scream. That's great. I mean, it was, it was, it's such a great movie. I really hope, right. And the universal translator was broken. You know, and when they're so non, you know, with all the tentacles and all the, I mean, they're like, I don't even know, they're what, squids? I mean. They are like octopus creatures. Something like that. Something like that. And the blood. You're right. And the blood is blue. I mean. Well, the bad guys, too, I thought were also such great characters because they, you know, they're actually, I think, a little different from any real Star Trek villain, I think I've ever seen. I mean. Yeah. Much about the old school. I was a die hard next generation fan in life. There wasn't too much in that that I saw as like insectoid bad guys, but I thought. No, it was really the original series. It was very cheesy. I mean, you had, I mean, the Klingons looked nothing like the Klingons that we saw in Next Generation. They were just like guys with, you know, dark makeup on Romulans. I know they were the Romulans. I mean, they didn't, they had a couple. They were the guys, the Andorians, just how much of a geek I am with the blue guys with the antenna. That was like almost the extent of it. But if, you know, in the scene that they referenced, the famous one that they referenced in the movie where he's fighting the rock monster, which is when the scene where Kirk goes down to fight the lizard thing. It's called a Gorn. Like that, even that was like, I mean, it was the fakest looking thing you ever saw in your life. It was supposed to be like this supposed to be this lizard man. And it was like, it was obviously some guy in a rubber suit. Probably running through the rocks chasing him. And again, and again, you know, he loses his shirt because like, you know, every time they could show off, someone told me a funny story once that you could always tell where in the season an episode was shot of Star Trek. Because at the beginning of the season, when they were coming back from break, Shatner was in like really, really good shape. And so he'd like, he'd lose his shirt, like all the time. But as they got later and later, and he couldn't like, you know, exercise or whatever, he didn't do that anymore because he started, he started getting out of shape. So, if you know, so there you go. If William Shatner's shirt comes off, it's an early part of the season. It's like the first half of, you know, that season's episodes. Really, really great stuff. You know, I'm kind of torn. I hope, I kind of hope they would make a sequel, but I don't think I want them to do it without Alan Rickman. Yeah, I don't know. And then you always run the risk of the sequel never being as good as the first one. I mean, every once in a while, it's better and I feel like Galaxy Quest is such a off, you know, like it's such a, I don't know, exception that it could be, but who knows? Yeah, I doubt they will. I really doubt they will. There'd be an uproar. I mean, how could you? Unless you do like Galaxy Quest the next generation. That would be good. That would be good. They couldn't afford anybody now. They couldn't afford like, Tim Allen and Sam Rockwell and all those guys. I mean, this was not a very high level production. The guy who directed it, the only other movie he had ever done prior to this one. Did you remember Home Fries? Do you remember the movie Home Fries? No, I didn't see that. Like, it was like one of those, like, it was one of those comedies kind of like half baked and like Friday. And the guy, what's his name? Farrell Mitchell who plays the pilot was in that. And that's how that's how he got the part in this one. And that was like his only credit, but they knew he was good at comedy and they really wanted it to be more of a comedy than a drama or an action movie. And supposedly, I don't know if you can find the original, the original original script is lurking on the internet somewhere. It's called Captain Sunshine. And it's like, yeah. Well, titles were maybe we're not that thing. But it's called, but it's called Captain Sunshine and the if you can find, I've never, I've never seen a copy. I know if someone told me once that they had read it and it's like, it's not, it's not a comedy. I mean, it's really not a comedy. It's about, you know, like it's about the depths of these guys who are washed up actors fall into at the end of, you know, their careers when they realize that that's all they have, you know, that they're always going to be that guy. So I would, I'd love to try to find it. I've never been able to, but if it's out there, if anybody else finds it and let us know because I would love to read it. Any, any, any closing thoughts? I think we've, we've covered pretty much the whole nine yards with this one. I mean, it's so great. I may go watch it again with the kids. Yeah, I'm probably going to watch it again too. I just, you know, I remember watching it with my dad and my mom and they're the ones who also we would watch Star Trek next generation. I was too young for the original. But you know, it was just, I have such a fond memory of first watching it and I can't remember where we saw it. We didn't see it in theaters. I think we like rented it on vacation in the hotel room or something like that. We're like, oh, let's all watch this. And my dad just loved it. I mean, well, because you can really, I mean, you know, I've been to, I've been to one Star Trek convention in my life and one Star Wars convention in my life just so that I can say I've done it because people are nuts. I mean, they are nuts. The hardcore guys, I mean, yes, some of them look like they could have stepped right off the screen. I mean, they really do. But that bit towards the end when his mother makes him take the garbage out, the funniest part because I mean, that was totally my life when I was a kid, you know, I'd be glued to the set and be like, don't forget to take the garbage out. And you have to sprint outside so you didn't miss anything because there was no pausing. There was no rewinding. There was no nothing. And if you missed it, you had to wait for the rerun, which was God knows how long. I mean, that scene is such a great like correlation of, you know, like that's the person's whole universe and it's actually the whole universe, you know, is on the line. Right. And he's got all the fireworks when he goes running out the toy. It's got like that arm load of Roman. Like where did he get that from? Nobody questions. Nobody questions the logic of that. He had this like, like arsenal of Roman candles in his room. All right, well, this has been great. So I want to thank everybody who's tuned in for this one. And we're going to be taking a break, a little bit of a break for the summer. So we will be back as soon as possible with this, but we have a couple of things coming up that I hope everybody will tune in for and find interesting. We have Andrew Solomon on Sunday. Dr. Andrew Solomon is going to be talking about mental health during COVID-19 and quarantining and isolation and the effect that that can have on you and your family. We've got, what else do we have coming up after that? In a couple of weeks on the 21st, we have Classic Tuesdays, which is going to be Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn. And then we're going to be doing some outdoor stuff. We have an outdoor concert planned for July 20th. We have Tribune Night, don't forget. Tribune Night, yes, Tribune Night. We have Tribune Night on the 16th that's coming up. Riley Goldstein, a very talented young songwriter and singer, is going to be performing outdoors next to the theater on the 22nd. And I think that's all our short terms. And Tribune will be again on the 30th. And then we'll have some more stuff posted for August. So I hope you'll tune in. And if you are so inclined, please consider going to our website, which is bedforplayhouse.org, and making a contribution on clicking ways to give. Every little bit helps while our doors are shut. We're trying really, really hard to reopen as soon as they'll allow us to. And in the meantime, we have some expenses that we can't recover, that we just any contribution that can be made to help us offset those would be fantastic. We, my grandfathers hammer, avenge us. That's right. It's hard to avenge a virus. But yes, with a little bit of knock knock, it'll be sooner rather than later. So thanks very much, everybody. Have a great night. As we always say, never give up. Never surrender. Never surrender. That's right. Don't surrender. Yep. Good night, everybody. Bye, guys.
