Chewie, Get Us Out of Here

  • Brent Alles: Chewie, Get Us Out of Here

    Incredibly fun piece that had this admitted sci-fi geek grinning from ear to ear at all the references. And the comedy is just great as well in terms of the good-natured takedown of all this ridiculous stuff (that, again admittedly, many of us love beyond measure). Even those who don't know their Wookies from their Klingons will have a lot of fun watching this piece. Highly encourage any ten-minute festival to put it on the bill to beam their audiences up into pure hilarity.

    Chewie, Get Us Out of Here is a lot of fun for anyone, more so for us sci-fi nerds who will catch the multitude of references packed into the ten minutes of away-mission chaos. Williams wisely uses the OG Star Trek characters as focal - Kirk's overbearing ridiculousness is a perfect fit here - and the voyage careens merrily along until the dreaded dramaturgs create urgency in a return to the ship. Poor, poor Chekhov.

    Williams's gut-busting sci-fi parody has all the laughs in all the right places in this swiftly-paced, hysterical comedy!
