[@Spaceman_spiffy]

Not to mention all of they boys' hair was ON POINT in this movie

[@Rankerquat]

I always look at this movie as the transition point between the "Stuffy" feel of the first movie and the angst-sodden feel of the last few. I've always seen PoA as the comfortable balance between the two extremes.

[@WiqidBritt]

The first two movies felt stale and safe. The teachers and older students are constantly talking about how 'dangerous' everything is, and yes kids are being petrified in the second movie, but it never really felt threatening. It was like everyone was saying "You could die! (but you probably won't really even get hurt)" with a big smile on their face like it was all an amusement park ride. It kind of makes sense though, Harry's young and still new to all of what's going on. So the whimsical sense of wonder overshadows the real danger of these situations. That goes away as he gets older and the reality of the situation sets in.

[@DevinParker]

It remains my favorite Potter movie for precisely this reason, I think. It has the feel of a Grimms' fairy tale, with moments of levity and whimsicality, and moments of darkness and real danger. It is entirely infused with a sense of wonder throughout, but doesn't deny the dark side contained within that wonder.

[@hinasakukimi]

+Britton Stanaland nah son the second film was a lot darker than the first one. still had cutesy remnants but i'd say that there actually is a solid threat of death there (jesus christ those fucking spiders). i completely agree about the first one tho.

[@sarahhutchinson1644]

It's kind of perfect that, even if he hadn't read the books, the tonal shifts Cuaron made matched almost exactly with book's story-telling maturity.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

i've heard people say that PoA was the worst adapted screenplay in the series, and i just tell them to read the book again, because the dialogues different but the subtext and emotion is better adapted then the other books. I also think of PoA as the movie responsible for the final design of Hogwarts itself. Cuaron's set designers took what was built for the previous movies and the exterior shots of Hogwarts and built the final castle grounds that are used for the rest of the series. that effort really makes hogwarts feel like a real place, instead of just a castle overlooking a lake.

[@leontalbuquerque8281]

I think the movie was better than the books in the way it shifted tone, actually. Books 3 and 4 are still whimsical and childish, we get some grimdark, skincrawling tones only partially at the 5th book, and then full on in the 6th. meanwhile the 3rd movie is scarier then the 4th, and rightly so, since dementors are a pretty fucked up concept and they are supposed to traumatized the protagonist for years to come.

[@chefdean7257]

J.K. Simmons, lol. Instantly imagined J.Jonah Jameson yelling . . . "Potter!" 😂

[@nalbisgames]

I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE HOW GREAT THE BOGGART MIRROR EFFECT IS!!! But my non-filmmaking friends don't understand why they're such great shots!!! But yes as I always tell people this is the best Harry Potter FILM! It has a really gothic feel! It keeps you on edge with it's cinematography and just... ah!!! The music too!!! Also one thing I really enjoyed in this one is the set designs! Especially the shreaking shack as it sways left to right throughout the whole scene! In fact a lot of buildings and structures feel like they could fall or break at any moment! For example when Harry is in his hotel room at the Leaky Cauldron it shakes wildly as a train passes! Also while he stands on his bed to squash the monster book, the whole room shakes with dust falling all around! And even the knight bus has that feeling of un-safe-ness with all the beds rollings around a chandelier right in the centre!!! theres just a whole theme of things being unstable!!!!! thats the word!!! unstable!!!!!!

[@nalbisgames]

can you tell i like this movie?

[@nalbisgames]

i hope you appreciate my ramblings from a person who hasnt gotten tired of this film since seeing it in theatres!!! i feel like i could elaborate more

[@shermanriddick2694]

Yeah, I'm with you on that. The first time I saw a shot like that was in the opening of Contact.

[@natsudragion7790]

This is in my top three films of all time , I think its half nostalgia , and half that its a really good film

[@annalenaguptara7130]

@@nalbisgames i can tell you like exclamation marks

[@dvdmuckle]

Harry hearing the woman screaming (his mom) when he is attacked by Dementors is actually Voldemort's memory, as Dementor attacks force you to relive your worst memory, and the woman screaming is actually Voldemort's memory of dying. Fun facts! Also Harry thinking it was his dad casting the patronus is a nice way of putting that Harry basically has to be his own dad. Kinda. Basically he has to do it because... he has to. Which is the reasoning he gives for being able to cast the patronus at the end anyways.

[@thelowerlife]

It's funny you mention Marvel going back to a safer, more generic set of directors because I'd argue that Taika Waititi for Thor: Ragnarok, Ryan Coogler for Black Panther and the recently announced Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck for Captain Marvel are a continuation of finding unique voices for their films in the MCU.

[@filmjoy]

+Colin Kelly [m] I agree but I'm not sure that was true at the time...

[@thelowerlife]

Chainsawsuit Original yeah, you're right but they mos def had Coogler and Waititi in place in the beginning of 2016. maybe I shouldn't have said argue, that was a strong word. I just thought it was funny because it felt that way, but NOPE. We all just got Feige'd.

[@GAdmThrawn]

I wonder how long it will take before Lucasfilm decides to trust the director like Marvel does? The amount of backstage drama really shows that they don't trust the director's vision.

[@PetrosofSparta]

It was called The Last Jedi, they trusted Rian Johnson implicitly. For the most part, it was a rounding success critically and for the box office minus a sadly loud portion of people who didn't like it but that's what comes with a vision and not a cardboard cut out - people didn't like HP3 either when it first came out, but it was also much earlier in a series than TLJ.

[@GlacialScion]

Petros Ioannou The reason that the decision to trust a director's sole vision is a big deal is that it is a risk, and in the case of TLJ I would argue it's a risk that backfired in a substantial way. Not everyone who dislikes that movie are deranged idiots who think the problems with that movie had anything to do with casting. As you said yourself, those people are a loud bunch, but they don't represent the majority of people who found the film lacking.

[@findtheeyes]

I'm majorly biased, since it's my favorite Harry Potter film *and* book, but I completely agree with you. Cuaron took the series from cute and serviceable to legitimately great and I doubt that could've happened under Columbus.

[@tnttiger3079]

You're not biased. You subconciously knew how great it was beforehand and that's why it was your fave all along.

[@billc5433]

I'm surprised you didn't go into that long shot with Mr. Weasely and Harry. But this film took some turns that most "kid franchises" shy away from.

[@mastermarkus5307]

I'm not a big Harry Potter fan overall, but this is the one Harry Potter film I have watched _multiple_ times. I never really thought about why until now, but I _get it_ and I _like it_!

[@12395hobo]

I think on a deeper level the movie is about finding happiness in the face of adversity, as Dumbledore says "Happiness can be found Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light". The Lumos scene is representative of that as Harry is struggleing to create light in his dark world that is constantly in surveillance. In fact there are many shots in the movie of Harry looking at his reflection as even Harry's not sure if he fill find happiness with all the shit that keeps happening to him. In the exact midpoint of the movie, it seems as though he's given into the darkness when he woes to kill Sirius. But during the Expecto Patronum scene he understands that only he can bring light into his life when his spell literally creates a light so bright that it brightness up the blue world around him. The movie ends with a freeze-frame on his brightly lit smiling face indicating that he found happiness after all, at least for now.

[@Mooony1313]

I love you.

[@JenHurler]

I was expecting this to be an unintentional rehash of Nerdwriter's PoA video, but you brought so many new points to the table. Fantastic work.

[@misspaigeness]

This movie is what made me want to actually read the books unlike when I saw the first two. I cannot stress the impact this film had on me.

[@ryanallen2001]

I've been binging this series for a couple days and I love every bit of it! I really enjoy the thoughtfulness you bring to it, and especially how it's always a fresh look, even at movies that have been "covered to death" as it were. Also, I really dig the bill wurtz reference in here!

[@ryanallen2001]

So it now occurs to me that your songifying of Cuaron's name may not have been a deliberate reference to Bill Wurtz. I realize that is a thing you do. The particular way you did it here sounded like him, is all. If you're unfamiliar, check him out, his videos are like 5 seconds long on average, so it won't take much time :) Anyways, thanks for all the good stuff, and I look forward to more good stuff.

[@filmjoy]

I do not know who Bill Wurtz is, no, but it sounds intriguing! (I've been doing the songy-namey-thingy since ... Hugo? I think Scorsese was the first time I did it)

[@RichTapestry]

I'm new to the channel and I thought it was a Bill Wurtz inspired thing too. It must just be such an amazing idea multiple people thought of it at around the same time! Loved the episode btw.

[@askewman37]

Vote for Galaxy Quest. Gotta love it, almost as much as you've gotta love that you know Mikey used Phil Collins in this episode because of Mr. Robot

[@filmjoy]

[m] You are correct. The Mr. Robot episode, for whatever reason, made me think of Harry Potter on Buckbeak when the music faded in. So, I used that instinct :)

[@askewman37]

+Chainsawsuit Original Awesome. Also on that subject I know you were kind of joking since you said it would be like a 40 hour long episode, but I wanted to tell you if you ever did and episode/episodes on Mr. Robot like you said on Twitter the other day I think it/they would turn out amazing and would love to see your take on it.

[@Owlpunk]

Phil Collins' "Take Me Home"? You magnificent bastard. Anyway. Everybody is voting Galaxy Quest, because of course they are. That movie is a fucking masterpiece. _However_, its' excellence is well-established. Anyone who know anything knows that Galaxy Quest is a masterpiece. (And, let me say that as an unapologetic Trekkie: Pretty much the best Star Trek parody possible, simply for how damn *affectionate* it is.) Herein lies the problem. This show has the premise of appreciating underappreciated movies, fighting the fight for the underdogs. (Or at least, it _used_ to have that premise. You've been slacking off a little on that lately, haven't you. HAVEN'T YOU, MIKEY?) *In the spirit of the show*, i can therefore only do one thing: I vote for Interstellar. Because I'm somewhat dubious as to its' qualities as a piece of cinema, and godamnit, I wanna hear your take on it. So, yeah: Interstellar.

[@wetwebwork]

Good point. Totally agree, even though I voted for Galaxy Quest before I thought about it!

[@halcyon510]

That moment when Snape immediately goes from "I'm going to destroy you little brats" to "I'm momma bear, don't touch my cubs" upon seeing a transformed Lupin. Such a small, but powerful, moment.

[@thewolfofthestars1847]

As much as he hates these kids, they are his students and he is their teacher. A nice little moment of maturity for him, especially considering his character is built around being the bullied kid who never truly grew and matured out of his resentment for his bullies.

[@mbeecher9921]

Hey Mikey, I don't spend a lot of time commenting, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your stylistic visuals.

[@mbeecher9921]

Also, I've heard a lot of people say that Galaxy Quest is a great film, but I don't understand why. I'd like to get your view on it.

[@bretzawilski5869]

Just discovered your channel through this video, and wow! Currently binging the rest. Great work/analysis/editing/writing/humor!

[@TDawgBR]

Mikey, I'll be honest and say that I wasn't expecting much in the review, but I should've known you'd bring something interesting to the table. The focus on Cuarón rather than the details of the film was what I needed as a viewer. Thanks, and keep up the great work that continues to surprise and impress. Oh, and Galaxy Quest - I need to hear your thoughts.

[@EricKummerer]

Your spoken word poem in the opening is so dynamic and wonderful it moves me to tears at points. Good job. Thank you for these videos, and the feels.

[@rustybrooks]

I really enjoy your videos. You've made me think hard about a lot of movies I thought I already understood fairly well. You've also convinced me to watch several older movies that I hadn't seen, solely on the strength of your reviews of them, which I think is one of the main goals of your channel. I've seen all your reviews, and I look forward to seeing more.

[@nikkitv1875]

I honestly found your channel a few days ago and I’m a little bit obsessed and I love your intro like I absolutely adore your intro

[@adrianamelgar7216]

what i love about all this situation is that Guillermo del Toro was the one who convinced Alfonso Cuaron to do the movie, ´cause Cuaron was gonna pass because it was a children´s movie, and he was like 'Do you know anything about harry potter?'

[@JurTico]

I love how your "reviews" are more like a snippet of your thoughts on a movie, which gives us as an audience some room to appreciate and think about these films ourselves! So as always keep up the good work. Oh yea, and my vote goes to Interstellar!

[@cristonsloan]

Dude, I agree with everything you say soooo much, it's scary. Not just because of the actual content of that which you say, but because of the way in which you convey it with your editing, script and visuals. Awesome work, well done.:)

[@ShadowMonkey71]

This is also where the folly of Ron starts in favor of Hermione as she begins to become this infallible super character. She takes his bravery, magical knowledge, and spot as Harry's best friend. The whole action of Hermione protecting Harry from Serious as Ron is bleeding and rambling was supposed to be Ron bloody and courageously standing in between the two saying he would have to kill him to get to Harry. Rowling has stated that she was relieved that Warner Brothers were protecting Hermione from being a hollywood cliche, but she seriously screwed up letting the groups chemistry be dynamically changed this way.

[@lillyteeea9887]

I think that that already started in the first movie. For example in the scene with the devil's snare. In the book Ron was the only one to remember that they could use magic to survive, which was the only reason Hermione managed to fight the plant off and rescue everybody. While in the movie Ron was only used for comedic relief and made to look like a fool.

[@adriannaz7954]

ShadowMonkey71 same bro.

[@judahbea1401]

I think it's so funny that by changing her character to try to be less cliche, they made her into another cliche. we don't want her to be awkward and ugly and nerdy and stuck up (nevermind it's a part of her development!)... lets make her more capable and more knowing than any other character in the series, fuck the original intent

[@vodkatamarindo9387]

You should watch the youtube video adaptational attractiveness from trope academy, he really explains how they really screwed over ron in the movies

[@RossLopata]

Galaxy Quest for sure! I find each of your videos incredibly enjoyable, please keep them coming indefinitely.

[@JustinJones_now]

I’m currently reading the books with my kids, watching the films as we go. I’m absolutely fascinated by your takes on the movies and they enhance my film watching experience so much! Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban was my favorite book, and young naïve little me was actually quite disappointed in the film, mostly because I was used to the Chris Columbus screenplay style of filming. But watching them again I see how Alfonso Cuaron elevated the series to a whole new level, enabling it to become a film series rather than a series of screen plays.

[@kassard1]

I really enjoyed this, thank you for making it.

[@julesroy3469]

Your aesthetic and the apparent amount of love poured into your videos are something that is very difficult to find and I love it so... Keep going and uh um you are amazing!

[@thoriumhandler]

Galaxy Quest is my vote for the next one. This review was fantastic! Your effort really did show.

[@caseysv7772]

I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m seriously in love with your videos. I find myself agreeing with you so much. After watching a dozen or so, I thought I’d finally take a minute to comment about how great these videos are. PoA is far and away my favorite HP film. Thanks for helping me understand why! Off to binge the rest of your channel

[@Torresgamingchannel]

I cannot believe this was five years ago. I also can't believe this video is short. I had so much excitement for film and life in general back then. This film just had an absolute flow to it, this is nostalgic now.

[@TennelleFlowers]

Wow, you managed to change a lot of how I felt towards this movie. Still don't care for it much as an adaptation, but you're totally right that it did set up a lot of what made this film franchise good. Big props. Also, Galaxy Quest? Galaxy Quest.

[@TheGrayWolf727]

Yet another fantastic episode Mikey! I'd love to see Galaxy Quest next.

[@pipothefiddler]

Great episode! I'd love to hear you talk about any of the 3 next options, but would vote for Galaxy Quest.

[@JonathanPaulin]

I probably rented A Little Princess 20 times on VHS, then when I saw Azkaban I immediately recognised the style without even knowing who Cuaron was. The movie has that special dark/fantastical perfect balance Burton and del Toro work so hard to achieve. Goerge Miller and Chris Noonan's Babe come very close to it too, in a lighter way.

[@theoriginalkimerli]

Well, the last two seconds of this review gave me chills. Outstanding editing choice.

[@xelaworrierprincess7166]

Galaxy Quest!! This was great, love your videos.

[@muppethitman]

Seriously man these reviews are so awesome. This one was the best.

[@Timmayytoo]

Great episode Mike. Thanks for all the effort on these videos. I certainly appreciate it. And Galaxy Quest please.

[@yuriwalkiw]

Great episode Mikey! The hard work definitely shows, thanks for sticking with it!

[@clouserants]

Super awesome job on this one, Mikey! This might be one of my favorites you've done yet. Fun fact: Alfonso Cuarón has directed two of my favorite movies of all time, but I had no idea he directed this until I saw the vote at the end of the last video. This was one of the last harry potter films I saw before I stopped caring about the movies, and I always remembered it as the high point of the first four; and I'm DEFINITELY going to rewatch it now. Curse you for making me choose between Interstellar and MI3, both of which I've voted for before... but I gotta go with the Jabrams, if only because of how openly it embraces the fact it's MacGuffin the movie.

[@PoseRocks]

I absolutely adore the opening rhyme. It makes me feel like I'm in an underground poetry cafe where everyone snaps their fingers lol. Also the rhythm of it is entrancing. Keep up the good work!

[@dphrygian_old]

Fantastic stuff as always! Oh, and GALAXY QUEST!

[@nikolasdavidoff4643]

Absolutely brilliant episode. Azkaban has always been one of my favourites of the 'Potter series, back from when I first saw it in the theatre when I was but 14, and you have exposed grander reasons to admire it. 8 years ago I remember being impressed with how mature it felt after the first two. And I don't know if my comment is too late, but would love to see you talk about Interstellar, given the infamous amount of displeasure it found on our planet's surface. I'm a fairly recent viewer of your's but consider this show to be one of my favourite spots for intelligent, illuminating, and entertaining critical analysis.

[@feanor411]

GaDAMN, I enjoyed this video! Looking forward to your next video.

[@mattiemcdonald2477]

I cried of pure joy throughout this episode, thanks Mikey.

[@WooMaster777]

Your analysis of movies are just too awesome!! :D

[@largerock]

You deserve SO MUCH MORE views and subs. One of my favorite channels atm, thanks for the great content!

[@AttackOfTheBees]

While I like the other movies in the series, they're never more than enjoyable fantasy kids/young people's movies to me, whereas Azkaban I absolutely adore. It's just so beautifully crafted and the joy of that seeps through pretty much every scene in the film. Part of me wishes that Alfonso had stayed to complete the series, but I'm never sure if that would have diluted the achievement of the third film or if we'd have just got a hell of a lot more of this stunning and whimsical world.

[@Levyathyn]

Rewatching this movie a few years after I finished throwing up, I noticed a lot about the cinematography of this movie that helped win me over all over again. I think my favorite element of this is early on when Harry is first told about Sirius Black. He's dragged off all isolated, with him and Mr Weasley and the frame alongside a close up of a moving picture of Sirius; every step taken, every movement and angle observed is perfectly designed to showcase just how alone Harry is all of a sudden, and make clear that his life is now visibly darker for the changes.

[@PrivateCritter]

Lots of things you caught, like Volde-s bday. Thanks again for another solid MwM

[@kylo7092]

This is my favorite one so far! I also loved your A.I. video. Do you have any analyses of movies Kubrick directed?

[@nicudelpapa4056]

First video of your show that I watch, love it. I'm more a videogame guy than a movie one, but I always love to see the thoughts of people commenting/analizing on arts like this (and I like HP so that's a plus, btw I would love to hear your opinion on the others films of the franchise). Keep it up and sorry for any misspellings.

[@echo.echo08]

My absolute favorite HP movie! I grew up loving the books and the first movie was okay because honestly, the world was better in my imagination. but Cuaron's adaptation was much better from how I imagined it. He introduced a lot of new things and kind of expanded the universe and made me realize I can do that myself too. you're right, the magic started with Cuaron's Azkaban.

[@allien7987]

I love your taste in music! The Bach is always a treat.

[@WarrenApplebaum]

You have bottled up how I have come to appreciate films by focusing on the creators in the most fun way imaginable. Fuck man, keep doing what you're doing. LOVING. IT

[@kristianfischer9814]

Brilliant episode, Mikey. You can always find ways to chain movies together that I never thought of, and I fancy myself something of a cinephile. Great jerb! My vote goes to Galaxy Quest. Because Alan FREAKING Rickman, that's why.

[@AlexBalhatchet]

Amazing episode Mikey! The hard work definitely shows :) My vote for next episode has to be Galaxy Quest, saw it in the cinema and it was a huge surprise how good it was but it sure was good.

[@singingknightengale]

THANK YOU for this episode. PoA is still my favorite entry into the film series, for many of the reasons stated here. But you did something really cool, you pointed out something I legit hadn't noticed before with the Trelawny guessing the birthday "wrong" bit. Holy shit. Its hard to blow my mind with Potter these days but you just did it. Thanks.

[@Yensi-Leigh]

This is beautiful work. Greetings from Phoenix 🌵

[@GuitarEspMM]

Where have you been all my life? Your videos are superb.

[@elimshow]

Thank you for these. Your insights are great and these videos are smart and funny. Brilliant, keep up the good work. Please do Adaptation.

[@autumn_vasch]

I really like how you go into talking about the way you recognize a work based on the director. I'm starting to be able to do this for video games, but I'm not sure I'll ever be into movies enough to do it FOR movies. And that's fine. I mostly appreciate that you use MwM to break it down for people like me. Immmmmmmmmmmmmm gonna go with Interstellar. I haven't even seen the movie but a lot of my favorite MwMs are when you talk about a movie I know nothing about.

[@nathanielleon4163]

On Antman though, it was a lot of fun, but you can SEE the Edgar Wright movie in there that didn't happen. Like, almost every joke in that film feels like someone trying to film a joke that only Edgar Wright could get... right... I swear that was an accident.

[@casualepic2555]

OH MY GOSH GALAXY QUEST PLEASE! I really want to hear your takes on the parallels of this to Trek/Wars and insight into the individual performances (which I adore).

[@WyndWalker02]

Galaxy Quest is my vote. Was another excellent episode, as always. Keep it up, Mikey!

[@unit7_PL]

Galaxy Quest pls. Great ep as always!

[@Cerepr0]

Movies with Mikey is perfect. Pure perfection. Found my way to this series through Polygon linking a Movies with Mikey exploring John Wick. Keep up the great work.. truly eye-opening!

[@kylefoutz4920]

This video is so so good. Top 3 favorite videos on KZbin ever.

[@LostInTheFloatingWorld]

It can't be coincidence that you used Take Me Home so soon after Mr. Robot used it to such amazing effect in the two part season premiere, can it? This is in no way a criticism or 'gotcha', I love the way it fits here too! Ever since that MR episode, I've fallen back in love with that song and I perked up [perked up more, I was already perked for a new MwM] when I heard it quietly rising in the background. Anyway, PoA has always been my favorite of the franchise, and I'm glad you share my admiration for it (:

[@filmjoy]

[m] Yeah, that was purposeful. I heard it on MR and immediately thought of Harry Potter. Figured I should trust that instinct

[@ben_bernard]

I love the foreshadowing of the time turner with the Clock Tower

[@oof-rr5nf]

really, really, really good job on this one. Your hard work shows. Better that Nerdwriter's analysis on the same.

[@marcdenham7607]

great job, i really enjoyed that. galaxy quest next please

[@asooncw]

This is great! Would love to see the next one on MI III.

[@rhiannonhunt3174]

what an awesome episode, prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite and you always make me think of films I thought I knew in a new way (thank you for that). can we please have Galaxy Quest

[@jahnuafortescue5957]

This shit is the best movie, my favourite movie of all time there isn’t a time when I don’t want to just chill and watch this film

[@danalley6376]

Love your work, man. Keep it up.

[@whitefenix16]

Absolutely brilliant episode Mikey! I never appreciated this movie as much as some of the other ones so seeing you gush over it with such well thoughts arguments was really cool to see :)

[@YUNOBF3]

Made me smile, thank you for putting my thoughts about this movie into words.

[@Nodim1er]

I could have watched maybe two or three times as long a video as the one you've done. It's great, and the only disapointing thing in it is... It ended… abruptly. Loved it Mikey, and yeah, I know it's long and tedious job to do longer videos. Thanks.

[@AllenVersfeld]

As usual, it's like watching the film again, with cliff notes for the details we missed. Awesome work! Here's another vote for galaxy quest. Maintain that Alan Rickman trend!

[@antiproanti]

Excellent job on the intro wordplay!

[@amazingawesomepie77]

galaxy quest pleeeeease! :) that was an awesome ep, Mikey! thank you!

[@BeyondtheLens]

Great channel. Binging hard

[@Cotygeek]

Galaxy Quest is normally the oen I'd be foaming at the mouth for, but I'm intrigued to see where you go with MI3.

[@taylortate8082]

Your hard work definitely was demonstrated in the quality of the final product! Your program is one that I think best shows the mark of the time and energy of its creator. As for the vote I would like to see you deconstruct Interstellar I love Galaxy Quest dearly and would be very excited to hear and see what you have to say for that. So Galaxy Quest is my vote. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@lyz8908]

that was beautiful and it hit on so many points I've never thought of. thank you for these videos. they make my day. And with that my Vote is for Interstellar.

[@Cotygeek]

Top notch use of music, as always.

[@rngwrldngnr]

It's interesting hearing the discussion about Cuaron's effect on adaptations. When Azkaban came out I was 16, and in a lot of ways my ideas on adaptations were still growing and changing a lot, with the state their in know being in large part a result of comparing how the various Harry Potter adaptations worked. I noticed a lot of what was mentioned in the video, but I didn't really relate it to anything at the time.

[@KiroWhitefin]

Galaxy Quest, definitely. And now another movie I have to rewatch because of you. Dang.

[@aaront4494]

Thank you for being so awesome Mikey

[@kevinconn]

Do a video on Galaxy Quest before somebody kills Guy!

[@thenateman27]

A+ Galaxy Quest reference

[@kevinconn]

[@riparianlife97701]

Mikey has only one name, so he should NOT go down to the planet.

I'm always interested to see what stuff you pick up on in my favourite films, I'd love to see Galaxy Quest at some point.
