Hello and welcome to the 23rd episode of Film Freakz, the podcast about movies!  Each episode is all about a single movie and this episode is about October Sky from 1999.  This podcast features YemmytheFerret (Yemmy), Coco Gamer (Coco), Taymation Studios (Tay), and GreedyWaffle (Nick).  This movie was recommended by Tay who is a huge fan of Sputnik.  John Hickam (Chris Cooper) is a West Virginia coal miner who loves his job and expects his sons, Jim (Scott Miles) and Homer (Jake Gyllenhaal), to follow in his footsteps. But Jim gets a football scholarship, and Homer becomes interested in rocket science after seeing Sputnik 1 crossing the sky. John disapproves of his son's new mania, but Homer begins building rockets with the help of friends and a sympathetic teacher (Laura Dern). Rocketry, he hopes, will prove his ticket to a better life. Directed by Joe Johnston.  Thanks for listening on all platforms!  We want YOUR recommendations for the FAN VOTE!  Send them in by commenting on the YouTube version, messaging us on our social medias, or sending us an email!
