First Man (2018)

Ryan Gosling in space. Ryan. Gosling. In. Space. How did this movie not blow up?

On today's episode, we're embarking on the Apollo 11 mission, venturing deep into the abyss of lunar craters both vast and impossibly lonely.

Not to spoil anything, but this is one of those movies that makes us remember why we started this podcast in the first place.
