Overview

For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA Protector — Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, Lieutenant Tawny Madison, and Doctor Lazarus — set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space ... until their series was cancelled! Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for "historical documents" and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe. With no script, no director, and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.

(Deep Dive begins at 1:06:50)

Grab your thermian communicator and a Coca-Cola and get ready for a role that's out of this world. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, and Liam, (Megs is lost in the Omega 13, Kev's hosting a session at ComicCon and Georgia’s negotiating with Sarris) as we're heading to the stars to protect our fandom in Galaxy Quest with our favourite Thermian, Norfolk Domus. We're warping through space with a dash of courage, a lot of laughs and somebody's hammer in our 257th episode as we discuss:

  • How many big stars are in this film?
  • Some more pre BFE lore for Ian or Liam
  • Ian and Liam needs some therapy as they go toe to toe
  • How can a film have both excellent CGI for the time it was made and terrible CGI for the time it was made
  • We discuss whether a film that satarises a point owes it to then correct that trope
  • Somebody reveals a bizarre talent as producing alien voices
  • We update everyone on Mariahgeddon
  • Someone settles a score as the revolution expands
  • Ian finds a way to compare this film to 3:10 to Yuma (legitimately)
  • Whether or not Galaxy Quest is the Best Film Ever
