We choose to go to the moon this week. We start with Philip Kaufman’s three hour epic The Right Stuff (1983), detailing the ups and downs of the Mercury 7 star voyagers. Next up is the view from down under as Sam Neill keeps The Dish (2000) pointed at Apollo 11 from a sheep paddock. We finish with Damien Chazelle’s spiritual sequel to The Right Stuff, First Man (2008) taking us through Neil Armstrong’s time as a Gemini and Apollo astronaut and up to that first step. Also: Pudknocking. Scott Glenn USMC. The Magical Negro trope. Beemans. Sally Rand. $1 Corvette. An idiot gets a well-deserved punch. From the Earth to the Moon (1998). The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994). Patrick Warburton. Black Sheep (2006). Space Cowboys (2000). Early Edition (1996). Neil Armstrong won’t eat his cereal. 1202 alarm. Apollo 11 (2019). GANGSTER SQUAD (2013). We play a game of “But who’s gonna fly it, kid?”
