Episode 17 - Apollo 13 - a podcast by Movie Podcast

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.
