On this episode we attempt to survive in space with Hadas from the Common Room podcast, and thankfully we have a couple of movies on the subject to entertain us. In APOLLO 13, Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Bacon rely on each other and the crew back on Earth to put together a plan to return home after a failed trip to the moon, whereas in GRAVITY it’s Sandra Bullock in a solo quest to return to our home planet, although George Clooney does provide a brief pep talk. But before all that grim business, we express a little bit of joy with Jess and Non of the Joy Sandwich podcast, as we admire the humor with which Matt Damon approaches being stranded on Mars in new release THE MARTIAN.

For TOMORROWLAND, we look at former animated film directors making the leap to big budget live action properties with Tim Burton's very successful BATMAN going up against Andrew Stanton's box office disaster JOHN CARTER. Hopefully with his new expensive summer film, Brad Bird continues to carry over his success from MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. GUEST: Josh Dotson from the podcast PROJECTING FILM helps us project the fortunes of TOMORROWLAND and warns of the peril of Bat-Dancing breaking out again.
