Space Janitors: Episode One
- Thread starter Space Janitors
- Start date
Well the logos were for the "Independant Production Fund" and "Ontario Media Development Corporation". I'm guessing they got some start-up capital to make this show, so they were thanking their supporters. It's not like they had the support of some giant production company or anything.Mouse_Crouse said:
High Five. Having the slob and the go-getter paired is great, and I agree that it's very much like Lister and Rimmer.N.Manth said:
While this clearly isn't a Hollywood movie. Compare it to Loading Ready Run, Pro-Gamer Gauntlet, Top 5 or the like. Those shows are clearly filmed in and around those peoples homes and businesses. Aside from a small setup setup somewhere these aren't really BIG projects with funding and the like. Just stating the production value is markedly high.Avaholic03 said:
That's kind of what I mean. Most shows here don't HAVE their own mini-site. And those that do (LRR.com) is because they started it before coming to the Escapist. And this is exactly the kind of info I am looking for. Who won this contest? What exactly IS this contest. And how did them winning a Canadian contest land them on the Escapist? I'm just curious about all these things.Nasrin said:It's funded by the Canadian government, there should be a little badge on the bottom right of the Space Janitors mini site. They won a contest
first the bad. This was boring as all get out. Two guys talking about their stalled jobs and how they're the lowest of the low? yeah, that's not the comedy gold it should be. Especially because we have no idea who they are or empathize with them at all. RedvsBlue did this quite well, show the characters talking about stupid s*** make us like them then tackle the boring stuff.
The good. This show has gallons of potential. It looks to be really funny in the future. The effects aren't great but add charm to the cheese the show wants to exploit. the costumes were really well done for a spoof. And the actors seem comfortable in the roles they play.
Optimistic, look foward to more.

I get that this is the set-up to something bigger with more characters, etc., but right now all we saw was a couple guys complain about their boring space lives and get ignored by some clients (the rebels).
Hopefully by next episode you'll have something actually happen and add in another character or two to interact with the eponymous space janitors.

Certainly caught my eye. I'll be watching this in the future.
Only 8 episodes. Well it'll probably die while its still good. Which is always nice.

I was really hoping for a little more "Space Quest" and Roger Wilco.
But! This is worth keeping an eye on.

I thought that the moment I read the title, since Lister and Rimmer were essentially space janitors themselves.MorganL4 said:
I was honestly expecting a Red Dwarf rip off from the get go. That opening scene with the spray bottle is JUST the sort of thing RD would have pulled but it got a laugh from me and it just worked. They seem to have taken a formula that has been done before and somehow made it feel new and fresh and exciting. Frankly it looks to have higher production values than RD ever had as well!
I am loving the whole vibe that the exciting parts happen around and separate from the main characters. I cannot wait to see more of this.
