"NEVER SURRENDER: A GALAXY QUEST DOCUMENTARY"
Look, I have one job on this lousy website. It’ stupid, but I’m going to do it. OK? And by Grabthar’s hammer, I’m gonna do it. Beloved cult classic Galaxy Quest is finally getting a documentary. You like those movie reviews, recaps, and Honest Trailers that The Screen Junkies have put out on the YouTube? Well now, with Fathom Events, they have taken my second favorite movie in the world and made a very compelling documentary about the voyages of the NSEA Protector and her crew. It has been almost 20 years since we first heard Commander Taggert utter the his heroic catchphrase- “Never give up, never surrender.” and there is still so much we don’t now. hopefully we can all learn from something from this doc.
Enjoy a couple of quotes from the press release we received from Fathom Events:
