Episode 134: APOLLO 13 (1995)

We are go for launch as NostalgiaCast welcomes friend, scholar, and Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic Manuel São Bento for a rocket-fueled chat about Ron Howard's APOLLO 13, starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Kathleen Quinlan, Gary Sinese, and Ed Harris. Manuel joins Jonny and Darin to discuss the movie's technical mastery, stellar performances, and out-of-this-world historical accuracy, plus an exploration of the introspective nature of film, and how our reactions say infinitely more about us than we possibly realize.
