Show Notes
Houston may have a problem but for us, failure is not an option. Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam - as we blast off on the 1995 Ron Howard spectacular, Apollo 13. We're short a permaguest as Georgia is off this week but we've got Ellie riding shotgun to discuss a film with 2 distinct takes (and we discuss them both in depth). It's a 17th Episode that shoots us around the moon. Join us as we discuss:
- How exactly do you pronounce Gary Sinise's name?
- The lengths that Ron Howard went to in order to preserve historical accuracy
- Early casting choices for Jim, Fred, and Jack's characters
- When the film is called 'Apollo 13', how much do we really care about what's going on back down on Earth?
- Which member of our cast cried multiple times viewing this film?
- The history of chalkboards and whiteboards in various country's school systems
- Tom Hanks' impressive filmography
- If "Apollo 13" is the best space film ever.
- If "Apollo 13" is the Best Film Ever.
