Description

The Box Office Bucket List crew—Tim, Andrew, Adam, and Katie—break down Galaxy Quest as their first film in the sci-fi comedy category. They discuss casting highlights (Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Justin Long), the film's setup of actors who played a TV crew suddenly thrust into a real alien conflict, standout funny moments (convention scenes, the goo suits, the chompers, and the Omega-13 time device), behind-the-scenes trivia, and the film’s balance of parody and heart. The hosts share personal memories of viewing the film, rate it, and note favorite scenes like the historical documents reveal, the beryllium-sphere rescue, and the emotional Alan Rickman moment. The episode mixes laughs, movie analysis, and nostalgia while recommending Galaxy Quest as a rewatchable sci-fi comedy classic.   THE BUCKET LIST The Way The Cabin in the Woods Orgazmo Grind Split Dr Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/crafty-crime
