I did an entire report in film school about Desi Arnaz and his contribution to television and syndication glad to see it acknowledged here.
Desi did do the song for Star Trek that always made me smile. It does have a real latin flavor to it.
@@chaunceypope5492 Wait, what? Desi Arnaz arranged the Star Trek theme?
Guy Person actually so wrong it was Alexander Courage but DesiLou did produce Star Trek. Sorry damn.
Midnights edge did an episode about it too when explaining how we got a newer trek that was unrecognizable, because of the big break up that legally speaking, made it impossible.
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey... holy cow. This video is so full of care and love, not just for Star Trek but for the art of telling the story behind the story. I was already blown away last month, but this is something on a whole other level. I have a feeling I'll be coming back to this one many, many times.
Stay safe, and stay healthy! We love you too.
How the heck did you comment 18 hours ago? the video Just got released??
@@TheBoomamatic Patreon is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural ;)
@@SabertoothSeal I should have known!
New Star Trek tagline: "To boldly go where no one knows where they're going."
Basically sums up the entire franchise at this point
So....can we get a “No one know what they’re doing” shirt next?
I would buy one!
I work in independent film and I would DEFINITELY wear it to every set
Yes pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
This needs to happen. Please.
Yes! I need one!
"The keyboard......how quaint"
Still use that one.
Hello, Computer
"Smells like war crimes in here." Has taken me out😂🤣😂
They use a vehicle previously owned by Christopher Lloyd to travel through time. Coincidence? I think NOT!
By all means, take a break, you've earned it.
...But holy hell, do I want to see what you do with Next Gen.
Same, it's the Trek I'm most familiar with even if I haven't watched the entire tv series(seen all the movies though)
1987-2005 was basically uninterrupted for Trek. And that was 16 years ago now.
@@Squeekysquid I’m very sorry! Man those Next Gen. movies are roooough! I have a soft spot for Generations…and first contact to a lesser extent. But they are absolutely not very good next gen movies.
he did the vulcan salute at the camera in the end and i did it right back at my screen. god.
thank you for this, mikey.
Yeah, but did you do it correctly? Because he didn’t... it’s thumb out 🖖🏻 not in.
Nice effort though.
I guess 🎶No one knows what they’re doing 🎶
(See what I did there)
@@Scott__G i sure did, but i don't fault him for the slip-up. it's hard to remember that kind of thing when you're a busy being a vulcan that's having An Emotion
I saw The Motion Picture at a drive-in theater in Houston in winter 1980, when I was 7 years old. I embraced Star Trek and have never looked back or regretted falling in love.
The Motion Picture was my first drive-thru movie as a child. Unfortunately, it was shown as the second feature, being preceded by "Capricorn One." Between being unable to nap during the first movie (because of curiosity) and The Motion Picture being a snoozefest, I slept through most of it. But my memories of the experience are still crisp.
I remember we were all thrilled with it. Maybe we’re just sleepy people...
Ah, "nuclear wessels" 😂🤣 God I loved that movie.
I too adore how it is always "the one with the whales"
@@alicialauersen8737 everyone loves whales!
Can we put to bed the notion that Mikey doesn’t know what he’s doing? Mikey knows EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING.
Mission Impossible and Star Trek are brothers... They even were both directed by JJ Abrams for the current reboots... How ironic
Lord Cat Vader mind officially blown 🤯
however, the first Star Trek motion picture had the original cast. Mission: Impossible didn't.
Yeah, he also directed your franchise and we all know how that turned out
yeah that is not irony. Coincidence perhaps.
Irony is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
And star wars too. Huh. JJ is a legend
This is an amazing video.
I really couldn't even begin to comprehend when I started watching what I was getting into. This video alone is worth the price of any donation to Patreon I've ever given. Reminds me I should go increase that amount.
"...We have within our grasp to be patient, to be kind, to be understanding. That big problems will not be solved overnight."
Damn skippy.
I smashed that like button so hard because I need you to do a video on The Next Generation!
Ooooh. I second that emotion.
Me too
Ya'll forgot the Animated Series! It's worth discussing.
Just so everyone knows, the real trilogy is Star Trek 4 - Galaxy Quest - Thor (2011). Great video Mikey :)
Holy shit
Excellent portrayal of a Vulcan, a species which actually feels intense emotions, but control their display of emotions normally by embracing logic to guide them.
I effin' love the Undiscovered Country. I love the zerogee pepto bismol scene, I love toasting blue gatoraid, I love the frozen underground cave trial, all of it. It's my favorite Star Trek movie. Iiiiiiiiiit's great.
Not gonna lie, the only reason I drink blue Gatorade is because it reminds me of Romulan ale 😆
“Loving something won’t necessarily save it”
Another fantastic video! Your insight and analysis is great!
It's hard to put into words how much of a joy it was to watch this.
I'm far too young to have been around when all of this was happening, but I grew up watching ST:NG, DS9, the Trek movies, and seeing this aspect of the production of the movies was incredibly eye-opening, especially with how it influenced the content of the movies.
Thank you so much FilmJoy for the love and affection you've put into this! I see dozens of comments, all saying how much they enjoyed this work, and I just want to add my voice to what I imagine is a cacophony of love and support.
Keep on keepin' on, stay safe, stay healthy, and we love you.
We need a "No one knows what they're doing~" Shirt for catawampus.ink!
i first watched this when it premiered. the algorithm brought me back 3 years later. that end still brings me to tears. You've brought me hope that, even though "No One Knows What They're Doing(tm)", that maybe just maybe the hearts that have compassion, love, and kindness, can just maybe, make a difference.
So thank you
Mikey,
If you see this, I wanted to say how much you've moved me with your content and takes on film and the interpretations it can portray and what they mean to people. Everytime a new video pops (first video I watched was of Thor Ragnorak that Cinemawins recomended), theres this sorta elation I get before I watching that no matter what...this will move me emotionally.
You inspire me every day Mikey to be a better person especially in a time when kindness and love is needed right now in these strange times. I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
I have been singing no one knows what they're doing at work for weeks
My step-dad was one of those first wave sci-fi nerds so to this day I have seen every single Trek movie on the big screen. Thank you for this Mr. Mikey. You please take care in this time of struggle and please keep putting out amazing content.
I love this series you're doing on Star Trek. Keep at it! I desperately want to see your take on the Next Generation. Of course, don't burn yourself out on my account. Take a break and do something else first. I am a patient task master. ;)
Yes, by all means, take a break, use the restroom, grab a coffee and get back to work.
Day xx of quarantine ... thank goodness there are now 92(!!) episodes of Movies with Mikey to watch!
Mass love for “I Ran So Far Away” by Flock of Seagulls whole talking about Wrath if Kahn
I thought all the music cues were great.
I've been binging a lot of DS9 in self isolation. This was well timed, thank you. I always appreciate your videos, and for a great many reasons, I especially appreciate this one.
Please keep doing more. I have been sharing these videos and praising you as my favorite video essayist to everyone I know who enjoys film and especially Trek. These have been great as a lifelong Trek fan who started with TNG I would love to see you do all of it one day in the distant future (gotta pace yourself!)
So much Eisner I had to make sure I wasn’t watching Defunctland.
I’ve never seen an episode of any Star Trek show, and the only films I’ve seen were the Abrams ones, but I seem to know so much still about Star Trek lore - a pretty good testament to it’s legacy.
I also just watched 50 minutes about a film series I’ve never seen - a great testament to how good these videos are. Thanks!
Gaambit If you liked the new films definitely check out the original 60’s show and it’s films.
You should watch the OG series. Like, it's silly. It's incredibly silly. But it's got such heart and optimism that it's really hard to think of anything like it--even comparing it to other star trek series.
DCcalling I’d say Star Trek Beyond comes very close if not hits the nail right on the head.
I don’t comment on videos much, if at all, but I wanted to say just HOW MUCH I love all of the MwM continuity in this - the Papa bits most of all. It’s *chef’s kiss*.
(I also want to make mention of how excited I was to see a Master and Commander clip and then smash right into the Bach Prelude. M&C is one of my favorite movies of all time, and continuing the theme with the Prelude made me feel, like, ALL the feels.)
Thanks, dude! Stay strong!
Fun fact: the transparent aluminum from that Scotty scene is a real thing now en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride
So I guess he really did "invent tha' thing." XD
Laptops, tablets, the ability to talk to, and receive a response from the computer, video communications(though the concept was already around at the time of Star Trek, and was not in general practice, I think Star Trek helped get it to us faster). The Communicator is a cell phone, they just didn't know what a cell phone would look like.
It was actually a thing years before Star Trek IV, also - the first patents date back to 1979 or 1980 according to that article.
@@s13sil80 you don't remember the flip phone, do you? ah, youth
@@s13sil80 Yes yes. But where's my warp miniva- *ahem shuttlecraft for taking the kids on a weekend trip to Mars? :D
I lose my patience when it’s emphasized Robert Wise was a director of musicals (The Sound of Music/West Side Story) and it’s left out he’s also the director of ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still.’
Charley Deppner Also the original “The Haunting” which to this day is one of the spookiest fucking ghost stories ever told!
West side story is an epic feat too though
Grand and Campy....
Let's just say "GRANDCAMP" and posthumously give Montelban the first lifetime achievement award.
To Mikey and all involved behind the scenes; thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Mikey you are a notional treasure, not like the movie, like the actual treasure. Many of the best parts of my day are seeing new content from flimjoy. Be good, or be good at it...
Like, he's a jewel of having a quick random thought? I agree.
A thought so good it crystallised into a priceless rock... I like it! I'm using this term now, we're totally making it a thing! 😁
It's spelt National*
Like the Nicholas Cage movie.
@@SplitGoose I thought he was coining a new phrase
@@davincent98 I thought you might. That's why I clarified. No need to thank me, I already know you're thankful :)
The glory of Star Trek in all of its incarnations is that it provides an outlet for us to explore ourselves.
Mikey, you really are simply incredible. Every time I think I won't cry, you just manage to do it. You truly have a way with words. Stay safe and stay healthy
"Everyone smash that like button right meooowwwwww"
"Oooh smells like war crimes in here!"
This is incredibly well done. I'm really proud to be a supporter of this channel. Bravo, Mikey and everyone at Filmjoy.
I lived thru this era. This _Star Trek_ film was huge. It had a bigger impact on culture than the box office reflects. The lack of tons of action was a welcome break from the action filled films of the time that _Star Wars_ had spawned. The _Star Trek_ films of the that time were like contemplative breaks between the roller coaster _Star Wars,_ Rambo, etc. films. The twist, that the enemy was something from us, come back as a near god, was also an important break from the norm.
In a video full of excellent writing and great analysis, one line really stood out to me for its poetry: space has no horizon. That's an excellent, compelling line. I love it entirely.
Duel of the Fates behind Michael Eisner was so funny.
Halfway through this I though: could we get a Master and Commander Movies with Mikey? Please I've been ever so good
I REALLY love Master and Commander and always mused that it was "The Wrath of Khan" on the ocean. Lovely seeing the M & C bits here.
15:52 "Throw this movie on mute, and put on your favorite synth pop album, and you'll have a grand ol' time." I gotta good chuckle outta that!
Me: Man I need a snack while I watch this... Something Salty...
Video: Help yourself to some Nachos
Me: ...Damn strait....
My father’s cousin (Peter Krikes) was one of the screenwriters on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home aka “The One With Space Whales”. I grew up periodically hearing the crazy stories about that film’s production. Apparently Peter and Leonard didn’t get along and disagreements led to Peter being removed from the project, only to be brought back later on to fix script issues Leonard and the screenwriting crew were having trouble resolving. All in all a crazy film, but I do love the final result.
Phil M. Joy, you've done it again.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING. On the week here in the UK that a prince, a prime minister and a health secretary have come down with the thing sounds about right
Great Job!! please do a Next Gen vid, All I have is the "No one knows what they're doing" jingle running continuously through my mind and i love it!!
I gotta say... I took a break from Filmjoy. I once had a commentary (welcome or not) about how I felt Mikey was eating up way too much camera time in his latest videos. In my opinion we (or at least I) came here for the informative style of film review, more enjoying the documentary style editing, versus having to watch a video that was 50% Mikey acting on screen, and 50% actual information about the property being presented. I was happy to see this in my cue. Because I love Star Trek. But what made me even happier, was it seems Mikey found a really amazing balance of getting some screen time, and his scenes actually being a TREAT, versus feeling too long and forced in your face. I don't make these kind of videos, so I don't want to be overly critical, but as a consumer, I enjoyed what I loved in the initials about Filmjoy... the focus on the films. And this honestly I think is Mikey at the top of his game. This was spectacular. I cannot overstate not only what a great piece of work this is, but how it also honors Star Trek, and what it represents. Mikey's prologue quite literally had me in tears. So Bravo, sir, BRAVO. Well done. If we were not in an economic crisis and I was not so broke, I would immediately be going to support you on Patreon. But rest assured, keep operating on this level of genius, and I promise once things begin to level out that I will happily support. You deserve it. I feel almost like every Star Trek fan should enjoy this film. I hope more people see it. Cheers.
Me (Hearing Duel of the Fates on a Star Trek video): "Are they even allowed to do that!?"
Meta level: SupercalifragilisticexpialiBALLER!
Mikey! Never stop making these, man. You are a gem...
I have always loved these movies. Ok, not really a fan of V, but love the others. TMP is beautiful and immersive in a way that's never been captured since. II was just a whale of a ride, punch after punch after punch, gritty and raw, and arguably the pinnacle of Start Trek. III was quirky and odd, but somehow quite satisfying as a transition story (and surprisingly heavy emotionally), and IV was just a fun romp with our beloved crew, and a welcome lighter moment after the darkness of the previous two films. V was...it had redeeming qualities, but overall just didn't work for me.
And then VI, to finish the saga off in spectacular fashion. Man, that one is a banger, both from an action/cinematic point of view, and from a personal/philosophical standpoint, and was an honorable send-off for the crew. Legendary stuff...from such humble beginnings...
These Star Trek videos have done my heart good. You do such a good job of hitting on why Star Trek still touches us, still matters to us. Hi5.
I remember when part one of this came out and the thought that no one knows what they're doing was still funny.
Well I don't know about you, but I didn't plan on leaving here crying.
I love the "no one knows what they're doing" jingle. It soothes my ears in these times.
Honestly, as a demoralized, self-sabotaging creative, it is the single most encouraging thing I've heard in a long time.
I was happy to see the photo at 5:39. Might be hard to spot but I see my friend Eric, who sadly passed away a few years ago, dressed as the Penguin. It was surprising to see him here, but at the same time heartwarming. He loved Comic Con so much.
Eric sounds awesome! We're so glad you got to see him in this video.
You're an exceptional human being, Mikey. We love you too.
Christian Slater was in the movie because he loved Star Trek and his mom was the casting director for Undiscovered Country.
Or so I've heard.
Three years later i made the mistake of listening to yhis video like a podcast while at work and now i have to hide in the bathroom to cry it out. Much love.
I'm only 15 minutes in so far, but needed to make a comment. I was 11 when "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" came out and I remember going to see it with my dad and my brother. Maybe because of my age, certain things remain special to me about the film, especially V'GER. To this day, whenever I hear anything about either Voyager I or Voyager II, my inner 11 year old screams V'GER and I get sappy smile on my face. I can totally appreciate that aspect of the film forever.
Love the Peter Gabriel sample Mikey!
Just IN TIME!!! I was going squrrelly self isolating. A couple of things. Christian Slater is in the last one because his mother was the casting director, and he called in a favour. Who doesn't want to be in a Trek film? On the first day of the first year of Andromeda, they brought Majel Roddenberry by to christen the set. It was a big thrill to (sort of) meet her, even though Andromea was mostly a pile of hot garbage. I think you should have mentioned the Star Trek animated series, complete with original cast members doing their voices, if you were going to do a timeline of this. Beyond that, this was an awesome way to spend an hour and I am incredibly happy I spent it with you.
I don't think of IV: The Voyage Home as "the one with the whales." I think of it as the one where the core cast of TOS gets to have a fun time in my beloved San Francisco / Bay Area. And I will always love it for that. I somehow managed not to know the Time After Time connection before. I loved that movie also for that, but I love The Voyage Home even more, because it's just such a fun time.
And just a reminder - once this lockdown is over and it's safe to travel, San Francisco and the greater Bay Area is still a great place to have a fun time in.
Just watch out for all the human shit in the streets and you'll be fine!
Iniii
Iikiiiiiio
Yeps, the Star Trek rollercoaster - I've enjoyed (almost) every installment in this franchise and I continue to do so with the current batch of stuffs. Thanks for the perspective - you're a cool bean, Mikey.
My mom is going to love this series once she has a chance to watch it. She is a huge fan of your show and Star Trek. She has been a Trekkie since the show first aired. ST and the news were the only things she could watch without it counting as "TV time".
She would add that part of the fear with the death of Spock was that no one was certain if Leonard Nimoy would come back.
To this day, when someone plays "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes, my mother starts tearing up and people ask, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you lose someone?"
My Mom, "Yeah... SPOCK!!!"
People respond, "Didn't he come back?"
Mom: "IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL!"
that was a trip! as someone who only watched the old movies after the 2012 remake it was amazing to get all that context. great video
Yes please please please do a long essay of The Next Generation!!! 🖖🏼
“The stories about the stories we watch on screen add depth and nuance to the emotions being portrayed.”
That was so beautiful. ❤️
Although you're talking about 'the end' on Twitter at the moment. This right here is why that should not happen. Your work is incredible, especially the longer videos. Please don't stop Mikey
Damn Team FilmJoy why would you make me cry?
love you all stay safe!
Gosh that end made me tear up. Thanks, Mikey!
Great video. Your ending speech nearly had me in tears.
Absolute perfection. I can’t WAIT to watch each of these (admittedly for the first time)
No one knows what they are doing... except you Mikey!
Great video, thanks for still making them
My 12th day of lockdown has had a moment of joy. Thank you for sharing.
You are one of my faves. I love how passionate and respectful you are of any subject you do a video on. I’m always happy when a notification comes from Filmjoy. This goes for all videos whether I’ve watched or am even interested in the movie/tv show you’re covering or not. I just wanted u to know that I appreciate what you do. Thank you!
This is the most deeply entertaining and insightful Star Trek vid I've ever seen. Thank you for it!
The scene of Scotty talking into a mouse is a lot more credible once you've watched videos of teenagers struggling to work a rotary phone....
For decades, I've found myself quoting "Hello, Computer" in Scotty's tone of voice when trying to get a computer to do something. It's right up there with Monty Python and Princess Bride quotes in my little world.
I personally really like Search for Spock. I think what draws me to it is that in a lot of 'retcon films' that bring characters back, they often don't show the sacrifice that it takes and thus those stories don't earn their payoff. In SFS, Kirk loses everything for Spock: his career (as far as we knew), the genesis planet, his son and most of all our favourite starship. I personally will never forget those immortal words:
'My god Bones... What have I done?'
'You did what you always do; cheated death and turned it into a fighting chance to live'.
Thank you so much for making both of these videos. They're just awfully good.
darkest read ever of the usually optimistic "oh the places you'll go" at 27:20 😭💔
Love you Mikey! Hope you are staying well in these terrible times.
the "Soap" reference got me, bravo Mikey
'The Motion Picture' was a big pop culture event in 1979. There were many casual Star Trek watchers who went to the film and most of them didn't return to the franchise until the 4th film (if at all). The box office for 'Kahn' was inflated due to fans' multiple viewings.
Mikey I hope you and all your family are healthy and safe! I haven't even watched the video yet but I know it's gonna be good. Thank you for being you. I love you bud
Damn dude well done. Very insightful. You get it. Many laughs, much love.
38:25 Talk about "Whoa", Blossom's kitchen is also the Pinciotti's kitchen from That 70's Show. The Pinciottis are the next-door neighbors of the Formans. Red Forman is played by Kurtwood Smith, who plays the President of the Federation in Undiscovered Country.
Dude again you are wonderful! I bask in the joy of your production quality and I enjoy the level of insight that you bring to what I knew. Stay safe and please never stop these videos
Film Joy deserves full screen, which I happily gave.
Holy shit, Mikey! Thank you for tackling Star Trek. I've been a fan of it all my life (25 odd years) andyour videos on it have only made it more endearing to me, especially in this uncertain, confusing and I confess SCARY time in my life. In an attempt to get my shit back together as if I know exactly how to do so, you helped me remember that even the folks who created my much beloved universe found themselves in this very same boat. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I guess I kind of forgot that somewhere along the way. I'm probably gonna started singing that aloud whenever life gets me down now. I blame you. Lol
Stay safe my friend.
I haven't been a fan of your "characters" that you've been doing, and at first I almost clicked away from the video when I saw you were doing one here. However I stuck with it and I have to say this was one was in the end actually pretty enjoyable.
Thank you for the great video.
I love your voice and your style and your work. It is calming to me in a time when I need something comforting. Thank you
Terrific mini-series! Thank you for your great work. Definitely want a No On Knows What They're Doing shirt.
This is the best thing I've ever seen about the original series and the movies, hands down.
Thanks, Mikey. Your videos always make me feel better. Thank you.
"Pillaged alien Hot Topic..." I DIED!!!
