By Grabthar's Hammer, What Actors, in which the crew discusses actors playing actors in Galaxy Quest and beyond. Special guest Barry "The Kid" Kidd, bassist of The Noise FM and the only actor we know, chimes in from the 2nd row bench as we cruise down I-35 in a van rapidly falling apart en route to South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. We're talking acting archetypes, movies with actors playing actors, and just now realizing that Galaxy Quest and Three Amigos are the same movie.
Had we edited this episode sooner, it would have been a great promotional tool for SXSW concert appearances by our bands The Noise FM and Archie Powell & The Exports. Ah well, better late than never.
Mark your calendars for Sci-Fi Spectacular 2016 at Patio Theater in Chicago! We're sponsoring a screening of Galaxy Quest and will be recording a live podcast! Galaxy Quest, Big Trouble in Little China, Westworld, Blade Runner and more!
