I love the score in this movie!! Just like "The Intouchables" a beautiful score can really bring out the emotions!!

Odd Thomas

For more Kirsten Dunst: Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) For more Nic Cage being normal-ish: City of Angels (1996) Kevin Costner: JFK (1991)

Martin Roca

A good "not so long" serie to watch is Space Force, its a comedy with steve carell

Scott Souza

you should watch The Right Stuff (1983)

Vidal (BillyG!) Gomez jr

Another great reaction from you guys. As a recommendation, I would suggest another great historic NASA based movie called "The Right Stuff" (1983)!

Brazilian_Rebel

Definitely suggest y’all watch Crooklyn !!

Brandon

I'm still hoping you guys add 'For All Mankind' to your TV watch list at some point as I think you guys could really love it. It's a great alternate-reality series where the Russians make it to the moon before the US and the space race lasts for decades. As far as Hollywood biopics go, this is definitely one of the best in the last 10 years. Even with the scenes that are written in an explain-ery way for the audience, it never feels like we're being talked down to, since most of us probably can't do math at that level. Glad you guys liked this one so much.

King_Panarisi

Please watch 'The Right Stuff' (1983)

Maiki

After a long day of helping with a move, this is exactly what I need <3

REDR58

Hate to tell you George, but “The Cos” was a nickname for Bill Cosby.

Ron K

Recommended once already but worth recommending again. If you liked the story about the actual Mercury program then you should watch The Right Stuff.

Funny That

Not knocking the other suggestions [all solid], but please 'Drop Dead Gorgeous'. For all ourselves, as it may be a tough year. It is a comedy that follows best The Simpson's philosophy: start funny and then grow, and grow, and then have third act that WOWs. Like 'The Death of Stalin' it is a story that starts ridiculing the specific and then grows to let you know how deep it idiocy/silliness goes.

Funny That

Not saying I vote for movies based on any assumed reaction from either of Simone|George. (I don't, I swear). Still, despite the response from both being what I'd expect, it was still a surprise and a delight. And was glad of the fact checking at the end there. Even when you explain things in your job, one always "finesses", but I wish there were more discussion videos on adaptation choices.

One of the reasons the Russians were ahead of the US with regard to putting a satellite and then a man into orbit was because their nuclear warheads were much larger and heavier than those made by the US, so they required a larger rocket to carry them. This gave them an edge in the "space race" because they already had built and tested those larger rockets. Also, yes... watch The Right Stuff.

Stevtrek

I was going to watch this movie on MLK Day, but I love it so much that I watch it at least twice a year, so I watched Green Book instead. Glad I waited and got to watch it with the two of you and my fellow patrons. Three fantastic women to be celebrated and admired.

FranciscoGios

If you guys feel to watch another “rocket engineer” movie based on a true story and from a book(which I haven’t read) watch October Sky from 1999. 👍

Thomas Hilbert

As much as I am sorry for the loss of the Lord Of War audio track - which must have been devastating for you given the amount of work you put in and the demand from us viewers - I am still very happy that you finally got to watch Hidden Figures.

JayF

So glad you watched this one. Great reaction. Some others to consider for Black History Month - Amistad Glory The Tuskegee Airmen (made for TV movie but really good)

dys

Great movie. Jake Gyllenhaal's first big role.

dys

One bit of trivia that didn't come up: John Glenn went on to become a US Senator and then went back to space decades later on the Space Shuttle, becoming the oldest person in space to that point.

REDR58

Yes in 1998, Glenn at age 77 flew on flew aboard Shuttle Discovery becoming the oldest person to orbit Earth.

REDR58

Nice reaction. Very enjoyable. Liberty Bell 7 was indeed lost in 1961 after Virgil Grissom’s splashdown but it was ultimately recovered on July 20, 1999. It is on display at The Cosmosphere, in Hutchinson, Kansas.

Jesus F Christ

Adding to the chorus suggesting you watch "The Right Stuff (1983)". It takes place before, during, and after the events of this film, and it's all about the events leading to the selection of the Mercury Seven, and their launches. Competent people doing things competently. If you skip a poll and just watch it soon, you'll get a lot more out of it since you just watched this.

Flerb

i can't believe this movie is a decade old already

djKENTO

Highly recommend the documentary For All Mankind which is in the Criteron collection because it’s so god damn good. Incredible documentary about the Apollo 11 space launch. Just beautiful. Also, the documentary Apollo 11 which is made entirely from lost 65mm footage. It is just GORGEOUS insanely high detail footage of the launch including the spectators, mission control and the launch. I know docs aren’t normally your thing but they’d both work, especially Apollo 11 which is cut like a normal narrative film. Also the TV series For All Mankind which was the first Tom Hanks series with HBO but all about space travel. Just got an HD remaster a few years ago too.

Skyruff

The Jim Parsons scene with the recap of the issue they were having seemed real to me, not a movie only monologue for relaying info. I have been in so many meeting were that is how we started by recapping everything everyone should already know, making absolutely sure everyone is on the same page. Then again, in most of those same meeting, someone was also unaware of the info confirming they were behind / not doing their jobs.

Jacob King

The nuclear drills that people did on the 60s were probably based on studies of Hiroshima survivors where it did make a difference if you were standing in a window (melted) or behind a wall (cancer/ radiation sickness). One detail that has always haunted me was a woman whose burn marks matched the white stripes on her black and white dress. In the event of a nuclear detonation covering your eyes and scrunching up under a wooden desk isn’t much but it’s the best option.

Mr Mafuchi

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Stop the clock! Schedule shows 'Lord of War' was today. Don't get me wrong, 'Hidden Figures' is an amazing film, but I can't help and feel trickered. I won't say I watched 'Lord of War' for nothing, but c'mon, now. Content ID sucks, right?! Lol

Big MCD

They already uploaded Lord of War four days ago because there was a problem with the audio. Hidden Figures is the replacement film. If you scroll down, there's a video explaining what happened.

Brazilian_Rebel

Can you guys suggest “Good Boys” on your comedy poll !!

attackthehole

i guess now we understand why George has to spam the same info across multiple posts whenever theres an update or change to things. cant assume everyone will see a single post, or even multiples of the same post/update. prob should've spammed the info in this video too.

Onno Smits

"There's only been one Blade, there's only ever gonna be one Blade." 😂 But in all seriousness, Mahershala Ali is fucking awesome, but I'd say at this point it's like a 50-50 whether it'll ever come to fruition.

Logan Kerlee

Yeah! This is a cool story, George/Simone! I've watched this already once before. Yup, George! This is their story, plus they're black women that's doing this. :) The Cos! xD hahahaha, good one George. :D lmap, smart call Simone! xD I don't remember Kevin Costner being the antagonist. "That terrible show?" lmao, I don't remember which show that was! I'll look it up after if I remember. xD This is a very good movie George. This wasn't the day and age of nice cops, but that one clearly was. I'm glad! Sets a good tempo for the film. Racism was alive and strong at this time in Florida. She's a cunt of woman, wow. I've been super interested in all things science for many years. Scientists and engineers are very particular about their work, yeah - but this is a very vital time for the world. lol, good job George! Thank you for saying that you were becoming emotional! All of that's because I had a tear forming in my eyes as well. That astronaut is top class, for sure! I hate writing with chalk simply because it's chalk. Fuck the way that feels in my hand! That's Kirstin Dunst! Wow, I wouldn't have expected her to be in this. lmao, <3 for modern tech in general! Bravery is a huge thing with every astronaut. Each of the men that went up first were incredible! That man's charisma score is definitely top tier. lol, he'd definitely be a Paladin in Dungeons and Dragons! That was an EXCELLENT pitch! Hell yeah! hahahaha, love how Dorothy fixed that problem in no time! The actor playing that role is excellent. That movie was damn excellent! Major props to ALL involve in making this! I enjoyed this movie so much. It hit me emotionally a number of times! Amazing cast with a beautiful true story. I'm very happy that I watched this and it was so cool that I got to watch it with you both! It's awesome that John Glenn's actor's name was Glen Powell! xD It's amazing that this movie had SO MANY people working on this with SO MUCH time invested! I know that films take a great deal of work but this one feels especially so with the difficulty and need for accuracy. I'm going off the final bit of text shown onscreen "The making and authorized distribution of this film supported over 13,000 jobs and involved hundreds of thousands of work hours." Shit's crazy! xD

It won't help if you're at the center but if you're farther from the blast, you might not be instantly incinerated or even receive a lethal dose of radiation, but still be in danger from flying glass and other debris which being under a desk COULD protect you from.

REDR58

Mahershala Ali is not to be missed in the Luke Cage series.

Philipp Roensch

I honestly don't know why I've put this off for so long. This movie is great! Love how they stuck to a lot of the real story, and with so much charisma on screen, you are right - this is among the best feel good movies. Nice to see we all had a blast with this one!

Jeff I.

This movie always makes me think of the Shane Gillis joke about his dad calling it "Madea Goes To Space". It's a decent movie overall, but it also feels like a high budget Hallmark Channel movie, with a lot of cliche scenes, stock characters, and formulaic plot points from similar movies in the past. I also didn't like how much stuff was just made up or heavy embellished, like the whole bathroom thing. Some of the dialogue was goofy as well. I had to roll my eyes at the daughter poorly reading that unnecessary "He's a good man." line during the proposal scene and made the same face as Simone at that odd "we all pee the same color" line. Great acting from the three lead women though.

joejud1017

You've seen the 3rd lady Janelle Monae in Glass Onion

simon brouillard

That was great. For a different kind of movie but again about the space program I woul suggest The Right Stuff

China Andronicus

An amazing film. My grandfather actually worked with Neil Armstrong once. I have framed photo of the moon landing that Armstrong addressed to him after their time working together. One of the cooler things I own. My Dad was probably the world's biggest space geek. When we visited Cape Canaveral, he was like a five-year-old, nerding out about everything he had to see before he left. It's a favorite memory. I miss him terribly. But if you want to see cool Nasa stuff, it's a good place to go. I know he liked it more than the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, and he had us there for four hours.
