Mega64 Movie Club: Galaxy Quest
Galaxy Quest is a comedy from 1999 that has a LOT going against it. A spoof of Star Trek starring Tim Allen? This has to suck, right? Well, in this episode, we dig into why this movie somehow beats all odds into being a "well oiled machine" of a classic... join us as we try to figure out what the hell happened here!

guys you should consider Movie 43, just for the polarizing factor.
Stricks me more of an Andromeda. But I liked Andromeda so, eh.
Perfect. I needed my Movie Club fix.
does anyone know where Derrick's blue shirt/sweater is from?
The character is Koko the Clown, an old animation character by Max Fleischer. I believe he appeared in some Betty Boop cartoons, but may have just been a stand-alone character.
I also never picked up on Tony Shaloub’s character being stoned out of his gourd the entire movie too but that + him being totally nonchalant about literally everything was the funniest thing to me last time I watched it
I rewatched this relatively recently and was blown away by how well it held up. I think this movie and the Toy Story movies are the only movies Tim Allen is good in (though, at least in the case of Galaxy Quest, Tim is good in it the same way mark wahlberg is great in boogie nights — because he’s already kind of a dick)
