This has probably been mentioned, but have you seen the Galaxy Quest "20th Anniversary Special" fake documentary that came out before the movie? https://youtu.be/XT4gWFDR_w0?si=lNmDL4vwLfqDIjP_

I can't believe Mike didnt know the voice of Sarris is the late Robin Sachs who was in a bunch of star trek stuff too...

Robin Phillips

them pointing out that galaxy quest is just 3 amigos meets star trek may or may not have given me a minor existential crisis

Goldy Loxx

Jason Long’s character is clearly teenage Mike

erin hawco

love this movie! Always remember the scene when they first took the ship out of the dock, and crying laughing. Lol, i didn’t get the feeling that Mike, in fact liked the movie, despite his claims.

Any chance on a restock of redlettermedia beer glasses? I want to further support to show but I want to do it my way

I watched this one in the theaters when it came out. I certainly didn't hate it and laughed a few times, but I just felt kinda disappointed with it without really knowing why I felt that way, and I haven't watched it since that first time. after listening to mike I wonder if that disappointment was from me feeling like I was tricked into watching something they tried to turn into a kids movie.

I'd kill for a Galaxy Quest: The Next Generation. I have no idea how you would write the idea, but it would be great to see posturing between a Patrick Stewart like character and Tim Allen's.

Interruptions are legally mandated when you’re gay married

Jay has been talking over Mike for years, don't see why it's a problem if Jack does it.

Gotta get back Back to the past Samurai Jack (Jack Jack Jack)

Did they intentionally name the video "Review" instead of "re:View" ?

Jesper Lindberg

Awesome re:view! Galaxy Quest is one of those movies that my very cold, and otherwise dead, heart beats for ❤️

Juan Calvo

Partially unrelated, but if there is not at least a RLM cameo on The Boys season 5, then they should start right away rewriting the thing.

Daniel Snyder

When the fuck did you guys have time to touch the Beryllium Sphere?

Around 48:05, Jack Quaid realizes he’s stayed too long.

Jack calling Galaxy Quest the perfect sleepover movie made me google his age to see how wide the age gap is between us.

Rhea

That little montage between the Galaxy Quest and Three Amigos comparison shots was pretty cool! Good job editor Mike. RIP Alan Rickman you were too sexy for the world.

Fun conversation about yet another movie I haven't watched. Didn't even know it's Star Trek related. Those tentacle aliens remind me of the aliens in By Any Other Name. It's an episode with an abysmally bad tonal shift from serious and dramatic to comedic halfway through. Well, I guess, the most important part of that episode is "It's green." A bad tonal shift, by any other name, is still a bad tonal shift. The edit of this re:View though is flawless. 10/10!

I am disappointed that I didn't get to see Mike talk about this movie with Rich. Or Jay. Or Colin from Canada. Or Tim. Or the Wizard. Or Rich again. Or Freddie Williams. Or that other guy from Canada thats not on anymore. Or non nepo-Jack. Or Len Kabisinski.

Rhea

Oh man, he (Jack) did that on the last BotW too, always talking over people.

Damon Killian

I like Jack, he's a good shit. The only thing I would change, would be the ending. Much like Chekov tossing a 23rd century phaser to a 1980's FBI agent in ST 4, the consequences of an advanced alien spaceship, crash landing on earth, would sort of, I don't know...change the course of human history! The government would seize everything, and incarcerate every, Living Witness at that event. No one would care about the Galaxy Quest TV show being renewed, they would care about being annihilated in a global, technological arms race. A sort of...TeKWar.

Bill Wilson

It took 56 minutes before finally getting Rich Evans' expert opinion. That's one of the longest opening credits ever.

Sean LaVista

Ok Jack Quiad can join the cast full time. thx

Keara

This was a great re:view! Jaquaid

Micah Campbell

Mike, maybe-maybe, gets to finish a single thought without interruption a single time.

Amanda Thompson

I also don't believe there's anything wrong with putting a fresh coat of paint on a familiar formula. It's only when the execution is lazy that it becomes a problem.

Amanda Thompson

I can't wait until I'm off to watch this. I bet Mike's son has some great insights into this movie!

Drip Dingus

It took 12 years to review!

Lee Noble

Saw this and loved it at the cinema on original release. It didn’t get overly good reviews at the time. When it first appeared in my TV listings magazine it got 3*, but every time it was rebroadcast it would pick up an extra half star. Now solidly in the 5* category for good.

Hunter Clifton Mann

I miss my wife

Amanda B.

Almost crashed my car rushing home to watch this.

Manuel Johnen

Good luck.

Joan Scott Brockie

That's amazing! I finally get to watch Galaxy Quest and have Jack watch my reaction to it! Take THAT, video store that wouldn't let me rent the film at 12 years old in '99!

Anthony

Let's see Jack Re:View Inner Space

Zoran Basic

I love that movie, thank you

Banta

I feel awkward watching this, it’s like seeing the bitter old Grinch telling the wide eyed young Huey that Santa is a drunk. Being close to Grinch age myself, I feel a bit like Mike that something is missing. I remember thinking the trailers for this movie sold it as more of a comedy, and it does seem like a lot of the jokes were cut out for a family friendly fun adventure. It ends up being a tight movie that isn’t really hilarious… funny moments, sure, but it’s actually sort of similar to the bait and switch with The Orville 100 years later, where it’s actually just a solid sci-fi jaunt instead of a laugh a minute comedy.

michael cook

Great review! Love jack quaid.

toon123ful

Yooo congrats!!!!!

Mike Conlin

Three Amigos, this movie, and A Bug's Life all have the same plot, and I keep waiting for the next take on it. It's a great formula.

BoyEinstein

This is one of the most coveted Re:view's, and now it's finally on the interwebs to see!

C_DOES

I have been waiting for this review. FOR 10 YEARS!

Marco Cabibbo

Kinda offtopic (if that is even possible in this comment section), but I'm going to marry my girlfriend tomorrow, I'm nervous as fuck, but this re:view is going to help me to get off some steam. Thanks RLM!
