Comments | Alex: Anarchic comedy anime series basically made up of a slew of short sketches, sometimes dipping into live-action segments. Each episode is played twice, once with female voice actors for the protagonists, once with male voice actors. I can’t really do the show justice with a short description, so this Reddit post has a video of the Hellshake Yano bit, which I think gets across the tone of the show well: click here. | ||||||||

Comments | Blaine: With an average IMDB user score of 2.6/10, I thought it would still be on their list of the 100 worst movies of all time. That’s no longer the case, even though the films in spots 99 and 100 score 4.1/10. I’m confused. It should be right alongside Battlefied Earth, currently at #15. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “As not only a fan of Science Fiction, but also an Oregonian (LeGuin was from Oregon), I did not know The Worlds of Ursula K. LeGuin existed, and now that I do, I really need to pick this up.” Blaine says, “of those I’ve seen, Galaxy Quest is at the top of the list.”
Not surprised that they would release an anniversary edition of Heathers, given the way lip-synchs related to the musical adaptation have gone viral on Tik Tok. I’ve never seen the musical– apparently it’s quite toned down, which seems to defeat much of the point of Heathers— but the original remains a must-see piece of dark pop culture.
Unpopular opinion: Galaxy Quest bored the living daylights out of me. There was not a single line in that movie that was not 100% predictable.
I loved Galaxy Quest, and I love Blaine’s theory that if you count it as a Trek movie, the “Even numbered Trek movies don’t suck” rule stays true.
Coming up the middle, then. I enjoyed Galaxy Quest a good deal. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in SF who hasn’t seen it, but I have no particular desire to see it a second time.
