This week we compare two accounts of the same historical event (the Mercury rocket program) told from very different points of view, 1983's astronaut-focused Cold War propaganda piece The Right Stuff and 2016's Hidden Figures, the previously-untold story of the Black female mathematicians working behind the scenes.
Join us as we discuss why we personally aren't going to space; pitch a sequel to Snakes On A Plane starring Jeff Goldblum; discover maybe our favourite special effects mechanism ever; trap ourselves in an unfortunate digression about urine; and complain about one of our least-favourite bumper sticker slogans.
