New Year, Same Us. We're back for another season of Give it 5.
Houston, we have a podcast. Desperate to save face in light of the embarrassment of admitting he had never seen Apollo 13 (go back and listen to our Backdraft episode), Frank brings Mike Lacy back on to right a great wrong. After Matt sent him a 4k blu ray of it for the holidays, all their fates were pretty much sealed.
One of the biggest films of the 90s, and the grandfather to all these space thrillers they make like once a year, Apollo 13 is Ron Howards magnum opus, chronicling the harrowing flight of Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. It's also the first film that started a new chapter of Tom Hanks films, which we sort of dub the Captain/America's Dad series. It's a fantastic film with spectacular special effects and a magnificent score (by the late James Horner 2 years before he gave us Titanic).
Mike Lacy has a forthcoming podcast centered around the filmography of one Thomas Cruise, so be sure to keep an eye (and ear) out for that. Days of Thetan: A Mission into the Impossible Tom Cruise, available soon where ever you get your podcasts.
