The right stuff is another great movie about the space program with a great cast and it’s referenced in armagedon when the astronauts sees willis and is gang arrive and says “talk about the wrong stuff”

Angela D. Mitchell

I love this movie -- still can't believe Ron Howard wasn't nominated for Best Director despite the Best Picture and other nominations (ironically, Ron Howard did win the DGA award that year). This was pretty factually accurate, although it's not really a fair portrait of Swigert, who was extremely competent and who actually wrote the Malfunction Procedures they used during the mission! Fred Haise picked up the UTI during the mission from having to continually wear the urinary hose and ended up with a kidney infection -- he was very ill after the mission but recovered. Hanks, Paxton and Bacon went up in the NASA KC-135 "vomit comet" over 600 times in order to film the short 20-second bursts of weightlessness we see in the movie -- they were actually weightless, which is why it's so realistic! Ron Howard's family is all over this movie. His brother Clint Howard plays one of the NASA scientists, his mother plays Lovell's mother, his father plays a priest see in the Lovell home watching the television with the family, and his wife is in the launch scene as an onlooker. Ron Howard's daughter Bryce Dallas Howard filmed an homage to one of the rocket sequences here in one of the episodes she directed for "The Mandalorian." I definitely recommend "The Right Stuff" and Hanks's HBO miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon," which is a gorgeous look at the U.S. race to the moon. Several actors from this movie are also astronauts in that.

I know I'm years late on seconding this, but I wholly second From the Earth to the Moon. My favorite HBO miniseries. I've seen it so many times. No one has ever reacted to it.

Years late commenting - I joined your Patreon a few months ago and working through the backlog of full lengths I want to watch with you. Someone suggested From the Earth to the Moon, the HBO miniseries Tom Hanks was one of the exec producers on. I've never seen a reaction channel do it. While it too plays a bit with embellishments, it's fairly accurate to the time it covers, the Apollo missions. They glaze over Mercury and Gemini missions but there are films/shows which cover those eras. One comment made I didn't see anyone clarify was why it was such a big deal Jim was losing his cool on VOX. At that time, the regular public ham operators could tune into those frequencies and listen to chatter between the ships and mission control. You can imagine, they really wanted their astronaut corps to maintain a squeaky clean image. So Jim cursing over the radio was more of an issue with NASA than anything else. Also, it's interesting Simone brought up velcro, given how many times she mentioned the Apollo 1 fire. Velcro was a huge component to the fire in the cabin spreading as quickly as it did. They were doing a plugs out test (as close to an actual launch scenario as possible while on the ground) in a pure oxygen environment. Again, they were creating launch pad conditions as much as possible. What they didn't know at the time was how flammable velcro could be become in a pure pressurized oxygen environment with a very tiny spark. A short in a wire underneath Gus Grisssom's seat - which none of them would have ever seen - combined with the conditions in the cabin, created a flash fire. The crew had placed velcro everywhere for the convenience it gave them with things they used regularly and wanted to keep readily within reach. Add on that the capsule door was designed to open inward instead of out, the amount of pressure inside the cabin made it impossible for them to pull it open to escape. I believe the emergency hatch explosive did not work either. Wether that was due to damage to the circuitry or not, I can't recall off the top of my head. The Apollo 1 capsule design had a lot of issues. In a way, it was fortunate it happened how it did. It exposed all kinds of dangers in design as well as launch pad testing procedures.

I feel like it's so underrated, but I love the little kid's line: "Was it the door?"

Kai Lucas Zachary

"32 Earths" is barely anything in the grand scheme of space

Love this reaction, guys. Late commenting here, but I just watched this a second time, and it was just as good this time. If you want another great Tom Hanks movie, I highly recommend Philadelphia. I believe it was his first serious role. The movie is wonderful, and he's great in it. It likely has no chance of winning a poll because it's one of those movies that kind of dropped off the radar with time, but I think you guys would love it.

Mario

looking forward again to watch your reaction. Ron Howard is an amazing director. he worked a lot with Tom Hanks from 1984. He directed also Backdraft, A beautifull mind, The Robert Langdon trilogie (all with Tom Hanks), Rush and even a Star Wars movie Solo. I really love his work. He really knows how to get the suspence into a scene....

Alex Funnell

You guys should see Apollo 11 all real footage from the original apollo 11 fight

So a few facts for you regarding all of this. 1. The Saturn 5 rocket is still the most powerful machine devised by man. It was 363 (roughly the size of a 35 story office building) and carries a million gallons of rocket fuel. One minute after lift off the Saturn 5 would already be supersonic, it is consuming 20 tons of fuel per second and generating 7.5 million pounds of thrust. This first phase of 5 engines blast the Saturn 5 to seven times the speed of sounds, even at 40 miles high...its was still accelerating. 2. While it adds good drama to the movie, there is no evidence to support that there was tension between the any of the crew. The scene in which they are all arguing is most likely poetic license as Jim Lovell himself said that never happened. 3. Speaking of Jim Lovell, he makes a cameo in the movie. He plays the Captain of the aircraft carrier at the of the movie. (You see him saluting Tom Hanks) 4. The scene with the men at mission control sleeping on the floor is also accurate. Many of the men were so invested and determined to solve the growing list of problems and issues that they never left the complex. 5. The weightless scenes were filmed in what is know as the "Vomet Comet" lol. It refers to a NASA program that introduces astronauts to the feeling of zero-gravity spaceflight. Recruits climb aboard a specially fitted aircraft that dips and climbs through the air to simulate the feeling of weightlessness in 20- to 25-second intervals. The downside? The sudden changes make a lot of astronauts feel ill. Very, very ill. Hence the tongue-in-cheek name. This is one of my favorite movies and I am so happy you had the chance to watch and react to it. I get goosebumps every time I hear some of the lines..."We've never lost an American in space we sure as hell arent going to lose on on my watch, failure is not an option!" Again loved the reaction, keep the great content coming!!

I think the comment was made that by the time filming wrapped, those three actors had more time in zero-g than any astronaut cared to. Of course, that was before the ISS, so I doubt that's true anymore.

There are some things here that might seem like Hollywood embellishments, but actually happened, Marilyn's ring, for example (she got it back, by the way). There were apparently a LOT of strange things surrounding this mission, like one instance of someone's car just catching fire outside the Vehicle Assembly Building where the Apollo 13 rocket was being put together. A fun little bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2kOMm8p4C8

The Martian is another good space movie. It's not based on real events like Apollo 13 but the science in it is pretty realistic for Hollywood. Another few Ron Howard movies to watch are Parenthood, A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon and Backdraft. Of these movies, Backdraft is probably my favourite. If you're looking for more on what NASA was like during the space race, watch From the Earth to the Moon. Like what Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg did after Saving Private Ryan in creating Band of Brothers, Hanks and Ron Howard created this after Apollo 13. It's a 12 episode mini series that they did for HBO that runs from the first men in space to the last Apollo mission in 1972. A lot of the same people that worked on Band of Brothers also worked on this one and it's really well done.

Excited to hear you might be watching more Ron Howard films, he's got a great filmography. This is probably my favorite of his I'll say, but a few other favorites of mine are from the 80s, a comedy with Michael Keaton, "Gung Ho", and a cute and funny, I guess it might be considered dramady, "Parenthood", with Steve Martin. And he also directed "In The Heart of the Sea"; which was based on the true story of the whaling ship Essex, which inspired Herman Melville to write "Moby Dick", which in turn inspired Steven Spielberg to adapt a novel also based on it, into "Jaws". I was going to suggest as space exploration themed movies "Interstellar" but I think you've reacted to it already. " The Martian" is great. I would recommend "The Right Stuff" because it's very well made for its time and it's about the early US space program, and it's entertaining; but it's pretty long and I'm not sure if it would make for a good reaction. "Moon" is a good little indie type flick with Sam Rockwell, who was also in "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which reminds me of "Galaxy Quest" just because of the name, both are great though 👍

THE MARTIAN! It's fictional and based on more current/hypothetical technology; but on all accounts it seems to be extremely realistic as to how the situation would occur. The one gripe I have with it is gravity on Mars seems to be the same as Earth in the film, but other than that it's very close to another Apollo 13

I’m trying to swear off Google and rely on my fellow man... How big a difference is it? Makes sense, Mars is smaller.

YoureMrLebowski
>>69823369

Galaxy Quest, I saw it but remember little. At the time it didn’t really leave an impression, but appearently I wasn’t paying attention because I recently watched a documentary that clearly showed it’s awesome.

YoureMrLebowski

I agree, The Martian is a great movie, the second in the “Matt Damon: Lost in Space” trilogy*. I would also suggest Gravity (Bullock, Clooney) but I WON’T because I want you to react to The Big Lebowski so I’m not going to keep adding to your list. *title and date tbd

Herman Orff

Oh, see “The Right Stuff”! What a thrill — that one is amazing. Don’t be put off by its length. It tells a giant of a story, about the beginnings of the NASA manned space flight program. Very much what you said you'd like to see: based on real life, about the technical and human challenges they all faced -- the pilots, astronauts, scientists, and their families. It's largely accurate (with one main controversial exception). Terrific cast, led by an impossibly handsome and intense Sam Shepard. (About Shepard: In addition to being a profound and charismatic actor, he was also a genius author, a director, a musician, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. Nobody should be trusted with that amount of talent. It's just not fair.) The rest of the cast includes Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Barbara Hershey, Scott Glenn, etc, etc. Lots of amazing actors you’ve seen before.

You should consider following NASAs social media. They have YouTube and Twitch channels and stream fairly regularly. You can see anything from SpaceX launches and landings (INSANELY COOL to watch a booster take off with mounted cameras, detach, and then land. You can watch from start to finish), ISS spacewalks and they also live-streamed the Perseverance landing on Mars which you can find on Nasa dot gov or YT.

Marko T.

This is one of my favorite space movies. The real astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks' character) and his wife recorded a great commentary track for the dvd release. I recommend listening it.

Ricardo Alanis

To answer one of your questions, when Fredo mentions hurting when he urinates, he says that Jack was using his relief tube and gave him an STD, Chlamydia aka The Clap and that’s why it hurts.

Steve Arnold

So many great reactions by the two of you! Fantastic! You really should watch „Backdraft“. After this one probably Ron Howard‘s best film. I also recommend „First Man“ with a stunning performance by Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong on his way to walk on the Moon.
