00:00:13.679Hello and welcome to the We Recommend Podcast, a movie podcast where every week we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss.
00:00:13.839 -->
00:00:14.560I'm Jesse.
00:00:14.960 -->
00:00:15.839I'm Jason.
00:00:16.160 -->
00:00:17.600I hate space.
00:00:17.839 -->
00:00:20.640Cuz this week we recommend Gravity.
00:00:28.000 -->
00:00:34.240Let's go! So, um, how many times have you seen this before?
00:00:34.399 -->
00:00:34.960I have.
00:00:35.200 -->
00:00:36.079Well, how'd you watch it?
00:00:36.240 -->
00:00:38.719Like theaters or did you just at home?
00:00:39.119 -->
00:00:39.759Like it?
00:00:40.000 -->
00:00:40.640I loved it.
00:00:40.799 -->
00:00:41.039Yeah.
00:00:41.200 -->
00:00:42.960This movie, oh my god.
00:00:43.200 -->
00:00:44.000It's incredible.
00:00:44.399 -->
00:00:46.399It's a spectacle to behold.
00:00:46.960 -->
00:00:49.200Just like the camera floating in space.
00:00:49.359 -->
00:00:53.039Like just at the beginning, just slowly zooming in, going around them.
00:00:53.119 -->
00:00:56.000I'm like, I was just like, this is so pretty.
00:00:56.320 -->
00:00:57.039It's a beautiful.
00:00:57.200 -->
00:00:59.200I wish I would have seen this in IMAX or something.
00:00:59.840 -->
00:01:00.960Like IMAX for VDE.
00:01:01.200 -->
00:01:01.759It was amazing.
00:01:01.840 -->
00:01:09.040Like when she's spinning and flipping, it was like you give her a go and you like to throw up a little bit into your popcorn bucket.
00:01:09.840 -->
00:01:11.120It wasn't too bad.
00:01:11.439 -->
00:01:16.640One of the movies that gave me that feeling was um Joseph Gordon Levitt and The Walk.
00:01:16.719 -->
00:01:19.040It's like where he walked between two buildings.
00:01:19.200 -->
00:01:22.159That one guy, the French guy.
00:01:22.400 -->
00:01:22.879Anything?
00:01:23.200 -->
00:01:24.799Anybody testing one, two, three?
00:01:26.239 -->
00:01:29.920I can't remember his name, but it was a mediocre movie.
00:01:30.000 -->
00:01:38.799But there was just like one shot where, like, you know, I saw an IMAX and it just kind of pans down where he's like on the uh, I think it was the Twin Towers that they walked over.
00:01:38.959 -->
00:01:41.680Um, and it was just like immediately like sink.
00:01:41.920 -->
00:01:42.959I was like, whoa.
00:01:43.760 -->
00:01:45.920And then the rest of the movie was a disappointment.
00:01:46.959 -->
00:01:51.680No, but this uh I don't know, it's just the camera floating through space is so fantastic.
00:01:51.760 -->
00:01:54.959And this movie's like 80% CGI, I read.
00:01:55.200 -->
00:01:56.879Um looks great.
00:01:57.120 -->
00:01:58.079No, it looks incredible.
00:01:58.239 -->
00:02:12.960I mean, looks all everything always looks better in the theater, but even on my TV, I'm like, man, the CGI is amazing, other than some of the floating objects where it's like eh, you know, it's rough around the edges, but that's how all especially watching on the TV, it always looks a little worse.
00:02:13.280 -->
00:02:13.680For sure.
00:02:13.759 -->
00:02:14.240Yeah, I don't know.
00:02:14.400 -->
00:02:23.680I thought it had a lot uh it reminded me a lot of like Space Odyssey and like Apollo 13 and a lot of stuff.
00:02:24.400 -->
00:02:33.840Um so when do you think like so you really just in a movie like this you need someone that you really like like acting in it?
00:02:34.080 -->
00:02:49.039Do you think George Clooney and Sandy Bullocks was like the perfect combination in terms of like just being like alright, you got two people in the movie that you're really gonna hear from, other than Ed Harris, and you know, you gotta be comforted when Ed Harris is in Houston, you know.
00:02:49.199 -->
00:02:52.800Uh but it's like you kind of want to be comforted throughout the movie.
00:02:52.960 -->
00:02:56.639You also want people that can make it feel really bad about.
00:02:56.879 -->
00:03:05.599And I feel like if they pick the two perfect people, especially when George Clooney pops up and she's having the hallucination, he pops up and he's got that his charming, suave smile.
00:03:05.680 -->
00:03:09.599And I'm like, yeah, this would make me get back to Earth too.
00:03:09.840 -->
00:03:12.400George Clooney just popped in here, and then you know I don't know.
00:03:12.560 -->
00:03:15.280And no woman would ever let George Clooney go.
00:03:15.520 -->
00:03:22.319And then yeah, and Sandra Bullock, she's you know, I don't know, she's one of my favorite actresses.
00:03:22.560 -->
00:03:23.280She's incredible.
00:03:23.439 -->
00:03:29.919She's always like just brings joy to me because she's funny and great, and seeing her in so much distress made me really feel bad.
00:03:30.080 -->
00:03:30.479I know.
00:03:30.719 -->
00:03:35.520So it was I think the other name for this movie was probably Clenched Anus.
00:03:36.240 -->
00:03:36.800Yeah.
00:03:37.360 -->
00:03:40.319Or like forget to breathe for a little while.
00:03:40.560 -->
00:03:41.120Yeah.
00:03:41.360 -->
00:03:42.240And I don't know.
00:03:42.319 -->
00:03:48.800It's like I could see like other people just do going a little too overboard, especially with like the hyperventilating.
00:03:48.879 -->
00:03:50.400I thought she did a great job with that.
00:03:50.560 -->
00:03:56.800Um, only reason I asked that is because two people that almost were in the movie, I guess, were Robert Downey Jr.
00:03:57.120 -->
00:04:00.159and um oh my god, how am I forgetting her name?
00:04:00.319 -->
00:04:02.560Laura Croft, Angelina Jolie.
00:04:03.039 -->
00:04:04.960Um, those were two options for it.
00:04:05.120 -->
00:04:08.159And I was just like I think they've probably been good.
00:04:08.319 -->
00:04:10.800I mean, but I'm just like, I don't know.
00:04:11.039 -->
00:04:12.159The script is so minimal.
00:04:12.479 -->
00:04:12.879Yeah.
00:04:13.520 -->
00:04:18.160Like, I feel like with that kind of script, Robert Downer Jr.
00:04:18.399 -->
00:04:24.319would probably be been okay, but like Angelina Jolie, you know, it's just Angelina Jolie would be like, shut up.
00:04:24.560 -->
00:04:25.839I'm trying to do a mission here.
00:04:27.600 -->
00:04:28.399Um no.
00:04:29.519 -->
00:04:33.360Um, do you do you find the plot um too unbelievable?
00:04:34.639 -->
00:04:39.439Uh no, because like destroying satellites in space is a real thing.
00:04:39.839 -->
00:04:46.959Yeah, it's just like the I don't think any human would be able to do this, but some people just there is just some comments on the internet.
00:04:47.199 -->
00:04:54.000I was like, it looks great and it was fun, but it's just like I couldn't get out of my head on just like how ridiculous this plot is.
00:04:54.079 -->
00:04:54.480I'm like, what?
00:04:54.720 -->
00:05:02.319It's a fucking well, you know, like float all the floating through space and then you know, like barely having to grab things.
00:05:02.399 -->
00:05:06.959I mean, they bump into things so hard in this movie, it's like y'all are your helmets would die, right?
00:05:07.120 -->
00:05:09.279I mean, like I mean, I think they're designed for that.
00:05:09.680 -->
00:05:10.959I don't think it's too unbelievable.
00:05:11.199 -->
00:05:12.240Also, because it's a movie.
00:05:12.480 -->
00:05:15.360It was just I saw some comments and I was like, chill out, guys.
00:05:15.519 -->
00:05:17.439Yeah, it's an hour and three-minute fun day.
00:05:18.879 -->
00:05:37.120I watched um I was I was looking at videos about this movie, and Neil deGrasse Tyson was saying that he really applauded the realism of the movie, and like he the only things he had a problem with were like, why would you send a medical doctor to space to fix a satellite?
00:05:37.600 -->
00:05:44.000And then also the surface, like when she was crying, like the tears bubbled out and like floated.
00:05:44.319 -->
00:05:48.480Like, really, your tears have so much surface tension on your face that they wouldn't double.
00:05:48.800 -->
00:05:49.279They wouldn't do that.
00:05:49.439 -->
00:05:51.120But that was like that was it, yeah.
00:05:51.360 -->
00:05:56.560And and he's a he's an astrophysicist.
00:05:56.879 -->
00:05:57.279Yeah.
00:05:57.519 -->
00:06:03.040It's like I wonder if maybe after like her daughter died, she's like, I want to get into astronaut business.
00:06:03.199 -->
00:06:07.199Yeah, I feel like, yeah, and I feel like that's kind of her whole thing.
00:06:07.279 -->
00:06:12.079It's like her daughter died, so she was willing to leave the planet.
00:06:12.240 -->
00:06:13.279Yeah, to get away from it.
00:06:16.079 -->
00:06:16.879Yeah, the galaxy.
00:06:17.279 -->
00:06:24.800Or she just wanted to do anything to to leave and and not think about get as far away from the memory of her daughter as possible, yeah.
00:06:25.040 -->
00:06:29.600And it's like, what's the most stressful situation that would make me not think about anything possible?
00:06:29.759 -->
00:06:30.959Oh, in space.
00:06:32.079 -->
00:06:33.439Working on a panel.
00:06:33.759 -->
00:06:37.040And not grabbing my wrench or tethering it to myself.
00:06:37.279 -->
00:06:37.600Yeah.
00:06:38.079 -->
00:06:40.160Do you have a favorite space movie?
00:06:41.040 -->
00:06:42.560Uh yeah, for sure.
00:06:42.720 -->
00:06:44.399I mean Well, what what's one of them?
00:06:44.639 -->
00:06:47.600Or like I think one of them is uh the fifth element.
00:06:48.079 -->
00:06:48.480Oh yeah.
00:06:48.720 -->
00:06:56.240But I mean, it that's kind of a I don't know if that kind of fits this, but like as far as this realm, I was a huge fan of Apollo 13.
00:06:56.399 -->
00:06:57.040Yeah.
00:06:57.920 -->
00:06:59.519Um of course Star Wars.
00:06:59.600 -->
00:07:00.480I always like Star Wars.
00:07:00.720 -->
00:07:01.040Star Wars.
00:07:01.279 -->
00:07:03.360But honestly, this is one of my and then Alien.
00:07:03.680 -->
00:07:04.560Yeah, Alien's.
00:07:04.800 -->
00:07:07.759But Gravity is definitely one of my favorite space movies.
00:07:07.839 -->
00:07:08.879It's probably in the top five.
00:07:08.959 -->
00:07:10.399It's just it rips.
00:07:10.560 -->
00:07:11.199It fucking rips.
00:07:11.439 -->
00:07:11.920It does rip.
00:07:12.639 -->
00:07:13.279It's beautiful.
00:07:13.439 -->
00:07:14.720It's a beautiful movie to watch.
00:07:14.800 -->
00:07:14.959Yeah.
00:07:15.199 -->
00:07:20.879But it's I caught myself just holding my breath for a while.
00:07:21.040 -->
00:07:21.439Mm-hmm.
00:07:22.000 -->
00:07:28.800And you know, my wife was in the room watching like while I was watching the movie, and she's like, Are you okay?
00:07:31.759 -->
00:07:32.319Action scene.
00:07:32.480 -->
00:07:34.879It was like, yeah.
00:07:35.199 -->
00:07:41.360Yeah, this is in terms of movies that have made me like realize, like, oh, I sh I didn't breathe for a while.
00:07:41.600 -->
00:07:51.600It's like between this and Mad Max Fury Road, like the chase scene, and then when it finally goes quiet for a minute, it's like, oh god, I was so stressed.
00:07:52.000 -->
00:07:58.079But yeah, this movie gives probably two to three times where I'm just like my shoulders are pushed punched forward.
00:07:58.240 -->
00:08:01.199I'm like, uh, we'll get there when we get to the plot.
00:08:01.279 -->
00:08:03.680But yeah, have you ever wanted to be an astronaut?
00:08:03.920 -->
00:08:11.600Yeah, I mean, I think every kid dreams of that, but like I I yeah, I never thought of it as being a reality for myself.
00:08:11.839 -->
00:08:13.439As a kid, I don't even think I wanted it.
00:08:13.519 -->
00:08:16.000I always think I think I think space is a little creepy.
00:08:16.240 -->
00:08:17.360Well creepy.
00:08:17.519 -->
00:08:22.160It's one of those things where it's like most space movies when you're a kid, they're all like, oh, they're taking their helmets off.
00:08:22.240 -->
00:08:23.360They can toss everything.
00:08:23.680 -->
00:08:24.639Nothing's a big deal.
00:08:25.439 -->
00:08:25.680Magic.
00:08:25.920 -->
00:08:31.519But then once you get to like, you know, you start watching more mature movies, and it's like, I don't know, space kind of sucks.
00:08:31.839 -->
00:08:32.080I know.
00:08:32.159 -->
00:08:33.759I think Apollo, but it sucks.
00:08:33.919 -->
00:08:36.639I think Apollo 13 really shaped a lot of that for me.
00:08:36.879 -->
00:08:39.440Because I saw them like being like super stressed out.
00:08:39.600 -->
00:08:40.399I'm like, I don't know.
00:08:40.639 -->
00:08:41.360I don't think I could do that.
00:08:41.519 -->
00:08:42.879Yeah, I don't I don't think I want to do that.
00:08:42.960 -->
00:08:44.799There's also just too many buttons in a spaceshop.
00:08:44.960 -->
00:08:45.519There's so many buttons.
00:08:45.919 -->
00:08:46.559Why is there so many?
00:08:46.879 -->
00:08:48.159And they don't have names on them.
00:08:48.559 -->
00:08:49.440They're not marked.
00:08:49.519 -->
00:08:51.519Like like, I mean, they may be to the side.
00:08:52.000 -->
00:08:52.879They might have a number or something like that.
00:08:53.039 -->
00:08:55.679They're just like lights, light, lit lit up buttons.
00:08:55.840 -->
00:08:57.279It's like, I'm sorry, could you put a paragraph on there?
00:08:57.840 -->
00:08:58.879So many goddamn buttons.
00:09:00.159 -->
00:09:02.480Like, how do you know what you're gonna press?
00:09:03.919 -->
00:09:07.519I do love when like people get in spaceships and just start pressing buttons.
00:09:07.600 -->
00:09:09.440I'm always like, they know exactly which one.
00:09:10.240 -->
00:09:14.080Which I like that because Sandra Bullock, like she got into the Shin Zu.
00:09:14.320 -->
00:09:17.360Yeah, the Chinese one when she's just like, I don't know.
00:09:17.679 -->
00:09:18.799She's like, maybe this one.
00:09:18.879 -->
00:09:22.639Yeah, try the next.
00:09:23.360 -->
00:09:25.200So last little question.
00:09:25.360 -->
00:09:29.279If you were left floating in space, what would you do?
00:09:29.519 -->
00:09:35.679Would you just would you open your helmet and just die, or would you just wait till your oxygen ran out?
00:09:35.919 -->
00:09:38.080Yeah, no, I'd I'd do what George did.
00:09:38.159 -->
00:09:44.159I'd turn on Hank Williams or whatever I had loaded into my wrist, my my pit boy.
00:09:44.320 -->
00:09:45.919And just float just float.
00:09:46.000 -->
00:09:46.320Yeah.
00:09:46.480 -->
00:09:56.320And just enjoy the I think the best, the easiest and best thing death was probably uh I can't remember his name, but the guy that was just kind of right in the face.
00:09:56.399 -->
00:09:58.320I'm like, it seemed like a pretty quick death.
00:09:58.720 -->
00:10:01.279It seemed like, oh, through face you're dead, now frozen.
00:10:01.440 -->
00:10:03.759Dude, half of his face was fucking gone.
00:10:03.840 -->
00:10:04.480That was weird.
00:10:06.559 -->
00:10:10.639And then whenever I saw, I was like, ooh, I forgot you can see through it.
00:10:11.840 -->
00:10:13.279That was incredible.
00:10:13.600 -->
00:10:14.240Yeah.
00:10:14.639 -->
00:10:17.759It's just fucking Two Face.
00:10:18.080 -->
00:10:23.279So this movie is directed by Alfonso Curon, who um man, the guy has some bangers.
00:10:23.360 -->
00:10:25.039Uh Children of Men in this.
00:10:25.360 -->
00:10:28.240I mean perfect films here.
00:10:28.559 -->
00:10:30.080Children of Men is really good.
00:10:30.240 -->
00:10:30.639Yeah.
00:10:30.799 -->
00:10:36.080I mean, and then he's got he's also did Roma, which is up for best pick.
00:10:36.320 -->
00:10:41.200Um then I'm not gonna say it because I always say it wrong.
00:10:42.399 -->
00:10:42.960Uh yeah.
00:10:43.039 -->
00:10:45.039Uh it's his first movie, it's really good.
00:10:45.200 -->
00:10:48.960Um trying to think, like, how many what Oscars did this get?
00:10:50.799 -->
00:10:53.120So it won seven Academy Awards.
00:10:53.279 -->
00:11:02.320Uh Alfonso Carran has best director, best cinematography, best film editing, best original score, best sound editing, best sound mixing, best visual effects.
00:11:02.480 -->
00:11:04.480Um, and it's like, uh duh.
00:11:04.639 -->
00:11:05.759Of course they got all those.
00:11:05.919 -->
00:11:18.080But um this time watching it, because I was kind of thinking, I was like, oh, I think it's mostly a quiet movie because they're in space, um, and all the of course sound design, like when they're doing their drills and it's like sound doesn't drive all the time.
00:11:18.240 -->
00:11:28.240Yeah, and apparently they use like guitars underwater to get like a lot of the uh you know when you're in their helmets hearing their microphones and hearing the outside of space.
00:11:28.720 -->
00:11:37.679The only way they would hear it is it vibrating through their arm or something, and so I guess that's how they got the guitar, yeah, no, which was really cool.
00:11:37.919 -->
00:11:48.639So uh um, but yeah, when for this like the score of it, I was like, shit, when the first attack started happening with the debris, I'm I guess I'll call it an attack.
00:11:49.120 -->
00:11:53.440Um and it's just like the sound starts like getting really loud and intense.
00:11:53.519 -->
00:11:56.159I was like, fuck, I forgot this score kind of rules too.
00:11:56.879 -->
00:11:57.840The music is awesome.
00:11:58.000 -->
00:12:05.360It's like I remember the visuals and stuff, and it's so impressive that way that whenever it gets to the music, I'm like, oh shit, I forgot this is perfect as well.
00:12:07.360 -->
00:12:10.320Yeah, what a roller coaster of a movie.
00:12:10.480 -->
00:12:16.799So, uh, for some little uh trivia, the film's cascade of debris is a very real possibility.
00:12:16.879 -->
00:12:20.960The scenario is known as the Kessler syndrome, named after NASA scientist Donald J.
00:12:21.120 -->
00:12:24.080Kessler, who first proposed a theory in 1978.
00:12:24.480 -->
00:12:39.120A cascading Kessler syndrome syndrome involving an object the size of an international space station would trigger a catastrophic chain reaction of debris, the orbiting debris field would make it impossible to launch space exploration missions or satellites for many decades.
00:12:39.360 -->
00:12:39.840Damn.
00:12:40.000 -->
00:12:41.279That's crazy.
00:12:41.519 -->
00:12:45.279You see a leaf blower out there onto space.
00:12:45.679 -->
00:12:52.559Kind of makes the the whole makes sense of like why was every space station abandoned?
00:12:52.720 -->
00:12:54.320Because they saw this coming?
00:12:55.039 -->
00:13:00.159Um, yeah, that's that was something I was curious about because there's never anybody in any of the space stations that they went to.
00:13:00.559 -->
00:13:03.039I'm assuming maybe they didn't have anybody up there at the time.
00:13:03.440 -->
00:13:08.639Well, or they got out before they before the rocket was launched from Russia.
00:13:09.039 -->
00:13:15.519They weren't uh yeah, because they weren't potentially out doing stuff, so maybe they were able to just kind of leave.
00:13:15.679 -->
00:13:26.000Yeah, no, well, it's because one of the the qu the things that George Clooney's George the singular George Clooney said was that the Facebook just went out.
00:13:26.159 -->
00:13:28.480Like were they fixing Facebook's satellite?
00:13:28.879 -->
00:13:34.080No, I I think it's just gonna but like that that made so much sense.
00:13:34.159 -->
00:13:47.360So like capitalism, like they were up there to fix this satellite, but every other nation that had a s that had a space station, they knew that was that there was gonna be a rocket destroyed, so they were like, get the fuck out of there.
00:13:47.519 -->
00:13:48.159Yeah.
00:13:48.480 -->
00:13:52.240This might cause problems and everything will be destroyed.
00:13:52.480 -->
00:13:54.799I know it seemed like they should have gotten out of the way a little bit faster.
00:13:54.960 -->
00:13:58.480Once because the first time he says, hey, there is a satellite that just exploded.
00:13:58.559 -->
00:14:06.879I mean, I guess they didn't know the debris was coming straight for them yet, but I guess when it I guess maybe they were a little bit closer to the debris than the other satellites.
00:14:06.960 -->
00:14:11.120Maybe it had to go a full rotation, which was like 90 minutes to get to the other ones.
00:14:11.279 -->
00:14:15.840So maybe that was what it was, but it still hit the one, so yeah, I don't know.
00:14:16.000 -->
00:14:16.799I don't know.
00:14:17.279 -->
00:14:25.039Um so there's a I guess a long time rumor claims that NASA provides suicide pills to astronauts for worst-case scenarios.
00:14:25.840 -->
00:14:27.440NASA's denied this, though.
00:14:27.600 -->
00:14:35.679Um, some people have said that it would be easier and more comfortable to reduce oxygen in the chamber as depicted in the film, just because you'll slowly die.
00:14:36.000 -->
00:14:37.039Like you'll just fall asleep.
00:14:37.919 -->
00:14:45.600She just did it because she wanted to conserve oxygen while she slept, and she knows that she because she's smart, like she's super duper smart.
00:14:45.919 -->
00:14:50.639Well, this is like after she talks to the guy and starts barking and stuff like that one?
00:14:50.799 -->
00:14:52.240Because that one she was definitely trying to die.
00:14:52.480 -->
00:14:58.159Well, like when she is right before she has the the dream of George Clooney coming into her.
00:14:58.559 -->
00:15:02.080No, that's her, that's her like, I'm I'm I'm out.
00:15:03.279 -->
00:15:06.000Yeah, because she's thinking about her daughter, she's ready to be with her daughter.
00:15:06.399 -->
00:15:08.240I've well because she hears the baby.
00:15:08.799 -->
00:15:09.440Yeah.
00:15:10.000 -->
00:15:20.320I thought it was just because she was wanting to conserve oxygen and because you consume less oxygen when you're sleeping, I suppose.
00:15:20.720 -->
00:15:24.480And like and then when she wakes up, but yeah, you're probably right.
00:15:24.559 -->
00:15:25.840She probably wanted to die.
00:15:26.080 -->
00:15:27.039That that's how I took it.
00:15:27.120 -->
00:15:31.840I mean, especially after the hearing the baby and just being like, I love you, I love my daughter, I'm sad.
00:15:32.080 -->
00:15:38.000I don't know why I said it in such a rude way like that, but that's how I took it at least.
00:15:38.240 -->
00:15:43.519So um Alfonso and Jonas Koran wrote the script before it was possible to shoot it.
00:15:43.600 -->
00:15:47.600So after writing the script for Gravity with his son's Jonas Curan.
00:15:47.919 -->
00:15:49.360Kuron.
00:15:49.600 -->
00:15:49.919Kron.
00:15:50.320 -->
00:15:50.480Ah!
00:15:51.039 -->
00:15:53.279Alfonso thought it would take a year to make.
00:15:53.360 -->
00:15:58.159However, it ended up taking four and a half years as technology had yet to catch up with their vision for the film.
00:15:58.320 -->
00:16:06.720A turning point for the project came when James James Cameron developed revolutionary shooting techniques to bring the sci-fi environments of Avatar to life.
00:16:06.799 -->
00:16:08.399So thank you, Avatar.
00:16:08.960 -->
00:16:11.679Yeah, like none of that makes sense.
00:16:12.000 -->
00:16:14.960But I have no idea.
00:16:15.200 -->
00:16:19.039Well, they just didn't have like the technology to make it look as good as it was.
00:16:19.200 -->
00:16:23.600Like so in Avatar, you know, it's like the whole movie's like CGI essentially in Avatar.
00:16:23.840 -->
00:16:26.080Um so essentially it was that.
00:16:26.240 -->
00:16:36.159James Cameron just really revolutionized like CGI and uh and for some reason people aren't like we should make it every movie should look as good as Avatar.
00:16:36.240 -->
00:16:37.759They're like, nah, we're good.
00:16:38.000 -->
00:16:47.200But yeah, so they had to wait four and a half years for like the technology to catch up, essentially to make it doable and possible and not look like uh hot trash.
00:16:48.080 -->
00:16:54.879Um so apparently it was uh Sandra Bullock's idea for a character's daughter to have died.
00:16:55.200 -->
00:17:00.639So um this was actually Bullock's own idea in the script.
00:17:00.720 -->
00:17:04.640Her daughter was alive, which gives her a reason to desperately want to return to Earth.
00:17:04.799 -->
00:17:07.759Bullock thought it would be more interesting if her daughter was dead.
00:17:07.920 -->
00:17:11.599She didn't really have a reason not to just give up and let herself die in space.
00:17:11.839 -->
00:17:12.319That's right.
00:17:12.400 -->
00:17:12.960I mean, that's true.
00:17:13.279 -->
00:17:18.319So just be like, oh, she was more than just like, uh, I'm just like my daughter's dead.
00:17:18.400 -->
00:17:18.880I suck.
00:17:18.960 -->
00:17:21.599It's like, no, there's still life worth living.
00:17:21.759 -->
00:17:24.720Fight for your life through space.
00:17:25.359 -->
00:17:35.839But that's that's what kind of whenever she's talking to the um the guy that has no idea, like the Chinese guy, I guess it was a Chinese guy.
00:17:36.000 -->
00:17:36.240Yeah.
00:17:36.559 -->
00:17:38.319Oh wait, like on the intercom?
00:17:38.960 -->
00:17:39.359Yeah, yeah.
00:17:39.440 -->
00:17:43.920When she's part of the it was like a a somebody from Greenland.
00:17:44.880 -->
00:17:47.440It was like an uh Inuit from Greenland.
00:17:47.759 -->
00:17:48.079Okay.
00:17:48.559 -->
00:17:56.240The only reason I know that is because Alfonso Cron actually got the idea because he was doing scouting locations in Greenland for another movie.
00:17:57.359 -->
00:18:04.480And then he like ran up, he's like he just like came upon like this guy ice fishing who's just like out there alone all the time.
00:18:04.720 -->
00:18:09.599And like they invited him over and they're like and it kind of was like the spark of the idea of the movie, actually.
00:18:09.920 -->
00:18:10.160Wow.
00:18:10.319 -->
00:18:10.640Yeah.
00:18:11.039 -->
00:18:11.680That's crazy.
00:18:11.839 -->
00:18:12.079Yeah.
00:18:12.319 -->
00:18:14.799So that that's the only reason I knew it was from Greenland.
00:18:15.599 -->
00:18:28.319But uh that that was a good call for Sandra Bullock, because it kind of made me feel like this movie has uh such little script, it kind of like it leaves you a lot of time to think about what's going on.
00:18:28.720 -->
00:18:31.680Yeah, especially the times where she's just like slowly floating.
00:18:32.400 -->
00:18:32.799Yeah.
00:18:33.039 -->
00:18:56.160But it also makes you think about like overcoming depression and uh whenever you think your life is over, and like maybe you talk to someone and like their life is still going on, but like you you can't quite grasp the fact that life is like continuing on, and when you see it, it kind of gives you a little bit of hope.
00:18:56.480 -->
00:18:56.880Yeah.
00:18:57.359 -->
00:19:02.640And this and that scene was like very touching.
00:19:02.799 -->
00:19:11.680And she it kind of I don't know, it was very t it just made me think a lot.
00:19:11.920 -->
00:19:12.160Yeah.
00:19:14.480 -->
00:19:14.880Yeah.
00:19:15.200 -->
00:19:19.440It's especially I I can only imagine like having kids and watching stuff like that.
00:19:21.759 -->
00:19:25.279Yeah, like and then you hear a baby crying and you're like, Yeah.
00:19:26.079 -->
00:19:26.720Couldn't imagine it.
00:19:26.799 -->
00:19:26.880Yeah.
00:19:27.119 -->
00:19:32.799I know, especially it just like literally the kid died just by hitting his head on the like while playing on a playground.
00:19:32.880 -->
00:19:35.200It's like Is that what Yeah, that's how she explains it.
00:19:35.440 -->
00:19:38.880Just like she was playing at school and then hit her head and she died.
00:19:39.119 -->
00:19:39.279Yep.
00:19:39.519 -->
00:19:40.720Yeah, that's fucked up.
00:19:41.119 -->
00:19:41.680Yep.
00:19:42.480 -->
00:19:44.240Bit of a bummer, I'd say.
00:19:47.519 -->
00:19:53.440Well, if you ever sat out there, just listen to Greenland, uh not Greenland.
00:19:55.119 -->
00:19:58.559Well, it's it's it goes back to what George Clooney's character was saying.
00:19:59.039 -->
00:20:03.440Like, you just have to keep talking because someone out there might hear you and save your life.
00:20:03.839 -->
00:20:04.880And that's what he did.
00:20:05.039 -->
00:20:05.279Yes.
00:20:05.599 -->
00:20:10.079Like it's just some random dude was listening to this frequency.
00:20:10.319 -->
00:20:15.519Yeah, and it's even though they didn't understand each other, he he seemed to be like, And he seemed very playful.
00:20:15.680 -->
00:20:18.240Yeah, like being playful, like wither really helped.
00:20:18.319 -->
00:20:20.079I feel like it's like make your dog bark.
00:20:20.240 -->
00:20:21.279Woof, woof, woof.
00:20:24.319 -->
00:20:28.720Should have been like a cringy part of the scene, but I'm just like, you fucking bark, Sandra.
00:20:28.960 -->
00:20:29.680You bark.
00:20:29.920 -->
00:20:30.559All right.
00:20:31.039 -->
00:20:34.079But then hearing the baby cooing was very like, mm.
00:20:34.640 -->
00:20:36.000Oh it hurts.
00:20:36.079 -->
00:20:37.200She loves her daughter.
00:20:37.440 -->
00:20:41.519So speaking of Sandra, she underwent six months of physical training before shooting.
00:20:41.599 -->
00:20:44.559So before shooting Gravity, Sandra underwent the six months.
00:20:44.640 -->
00:20:54.799Uh, this time she also went through the script with director Alfonso Carran to discuss the themes of the story and how our character would feel, reborn after escaping the terrifying lost in space conflict.
00:20:55.200 -->
00:20:59.839Um, and so there was another thing.
00:21:00.079 -->
00:21:04.960Yeah, so during filming, Sandra Bullock spent 10 hours a day in a huge mechanical rig.
00:21:05.599 -->
00:21:16.319So, because in most of the shots of the movie, she's inside, she's, you know, essentially either in a little tube, yeah, essentially, or like it's probably just screen screen around her.
00:21:16.640 -->
00:21:22.160So, um, and they just kind of digitally erase the you know, like rig around it.
00:21:22.319 -->
00:21:24.640But it took a long period of time to get in and out of this rig.
00:21:24.799 -->
00:21:27.440So Bullock decided to spend 10-hour days in there.
00:21:27.599 -->
00:21:32.720She wore a headset to be able to communicate with a crew whose nicknamed the rig Sandy's Cage.
00:21:33.039 -->
00:21:35.519They even put a sign like a neon sign above it.
00:21:35.839 -->
00:21:36.880Work will set you free.
00:21:36.960 -->
00:21:37.279Yeah.
00:21:38.799 -->
00:21:44.640According to Alfonso Carran, the toughest challenge was ensuring Bullock didn't get a sense of claustrophobia from being stuck.
00:21:44.799 -->
00:21:52.400The crew tried to make it more welcoming by celebrating every time Bullock arrived on set and giving the rig a lit sign to invite her in.
00:21:53.279 -->
00:21:56.400Sam Drosser, get in the cage.
00:21:56.640 -->
00:21:59.519But they also so yeah, like every time she got in and out.
00:22:00.160 -->
00:22:01.279Had like a little party for.
00:22:01.680 -->
00:22:02.160That's great.
00:22:06.000 -->
00:22:06.240Yeah.
00:22:06.400 -->
00:22:08.799I'm just like, oh I mean, she's a single earth.
00:22:08.880 -->
00:22:10.000It's not that crazy.
00:22:11.599 -->
00:22:15.759Um there was a I think that's all the little notes I got.
00:22:16.079 -->
00:22:21.359So we are gonna hop into the plot of gravity.
00:22:21.680 -->
00:22:26.640But before so, we would like you at home to think about what is the point of this movie?
00:22:27.039 -->
00:22:30.799What what is it trying to say about space and life?
00:22:31.119 -->
00:22:34.720Um, and to leave us some fan and so tell us what you think the point is.
00:22:34.880 -->
00:22:40.240You can go over to the description where there's a link at the top and you can click it and text us right from your phone or the very bottom.
00:22:40.319 -->
00:22:46.240Uh we have our email, we recommend mailbag at gmail.com, where you can type that way a message for us.
00:22:46.319 -->
00:22:50.160And then there's also YouTube, but you know that place.
00:22:50.799 -->
00:22:53.440All right, Jason, you ready to hop into the plot?
00:22:53.599 -->
00:22:54.400Yeah, let's go.
00:22:54.640 -->
00:23:05.359So at 60 kilometers above planet Earth, the temperature fluctuated between 258 degrees and negative 148 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:23:10.720 -->
00:23:14.400There's nothing to carry sound, no oxygen, no air pressure.
00:23:14.640 -->
00:23:16.640Life in space is impossible.
00:23:18.640 -->
00:23:26.559So essentially the movie starts with like a silence, and then it builds to a lot of noise, and the title was displayed before sudden silence and a shot of Earth from space.
00:23:26.799 -->
00:23:31.599The Explorer space shuttle floated 370 miles above the Earth's surface.
00:23:31.759 -->
00:23:38.000Veteran astronaut Matt Kow Whoa, did not know I could not say that name.
00:23:38.400 -->
00:23:38.960You say it.
00:23:39.680 -->
00:23:40.640How do you spell it?
00:23:40.960 -->
00:23:43.599K-O-W-A-L-S-K-K-I.
00:23:48.559 -->
00:23:50.559Oh my gosh, that's hard for me to say, apparently.
00:23:50.799 -->
00:23:54.720Everybody at home's like, yell like every fucking word in the English language.
00:23:54.880 -->
00:23:58.960Uh Matt is propelled above it, strapped into an experimental propulsion pack.
00:23:59.200 -->
00:24:09.599He radioed his compliments down to Houston before regaling the control room with the story of his trip to Tijuana from when his wife left him while he was on his first spacewalk.
00:24:09.759 -->
00:24:17.680Um Houston reminded him that most of the workers down on Earth heard about the story and before congratulating him on his upcoming retirement.
00:24:17.920 -->
00:24:22.480This would be his last spacewalk as he zipped around in a potion pack.
00:24:22.720 -->
00:24:24.319Matt took it all in.
00:24:25.599 -->
00:24:26.799That is insane to me.
00:24:26.880 -->
00:24:32.480Like when he's just like, just like, dude, what are we doing?
00:24:32.799 -->
00:24:40.160And his wife back home was like, Yeah, my husband's a fucking astronaut, but I'm gonna go with you instead.
00:24:41.200 -->
00:24:43.039Like, get the fuck out of here.
00:24:43.839 -->
00:24:44.960It's also George Clooney.
00:24:45.279 -->
00:24:45.759Yeah, I know.
00:24:45.839 -->
00:24:47.920It's like he made an espresso.
00:24:49.680 -->
00:24:52.640You could, you'd be a and he's got wine.
00:24:52.720 -->
00:24:54.319You could be a millionaire.
00:24:55.680 -->
00:24:59.599Uh below him are two other astronaut astronauts working on the shuttle.
00:24:59.839 -->
00:25:06.960Sharif, that's his name, a flight engineer, gleefully jumped around on his uh tether, thoroughly enjoyed with the weightlessness.
00:25:07.039 -->
00:25:08.079It's like, hey, dude.
00:25:08.319 -->
00:25:09.039You went to Harvard.
00:25:09.279 -->
00:25:12.240It's like, how have you is this the first time being weightless?
00:25:12.400 -->
00:25:15.759I mean, I know it's in space, but I'm like, he should be used to this by now.
00:25:16.720 -->
00:25:23.680Though I do remember like seeing space videos of like astronauts first in space, and they're always just having a great ass time.
00:25:23.839 -->
00:25:26.079It's always, I'm like, oh, lucky.
00:25:26.319 -->
00:25:30.480Um, nearby on the Doc Hubble Space Telescope, medical engineer Dr.
00:25:30.640 -->
00:25:35.519Ryan Stone uh Dilling worked on repairing the faulty transmission card.
00:25:35.680 -->
00:25:40.480Houston informed her that they are not receiving a signal before asking her to provide a new estimate.
00:25:40.559 -->
00:25:43.039She says, 60 minutes, baby.
00:25:43.599 -->
00:25:46.720Um, yeah, so I guess she's a medical engineer.
00:25:46.880 -->
00:25:49.359So maybe she has no reason to be out there.
00:25:49.519 -->
00:25:54.799Well, maybe like maybe the stuff she works on is similar to something up there.
00:25:56.559 -->
00:25:57.039I don't know.
00:25:57.119 -->
00:25:58.000I'm just trying here.
00:25:58.160 -->
00:25:58.480I'm trying.
00:25:58.960 -->
00:26:02.720You know, some people can have, you know, can do two things.
00:26:03.039 -->
00:26:03.519Yeah.
00:26:03.759 -->
00:26:07.839And that's what I feel like she's obviously a doctor, so she's gotta be smart.
00:26:08.079 -->
00:26:15.920Yeah, they're like, it'd probably be good to have a doctor who's also an astronaut to help with like herpes or something in space.
00:26:16.160 -->
00:26:16.400That's true.
00:26:16.480 -->
00:26:16.880Space herpes.
00:26:17.039 -->
00:26:20.400Space herpes is it's a huge problem.
00:26:21.039 -->
00:26:24.400By God, I got a case of space herpes.
00:26:27.839 -->
00:26:32.480So um, Matt zipped over to Ryan and asked her if he could be some of assistance.
00:26:32.640 -->
00:26:36.480He playfully flirts with her, asking her about her training and complimenting her blue eyes.
00:26:36.640 -->
00:26:37.839She is brown.
00:26:38.240 -->
00:26:46.880Um Kulowski lamented that he would not be breaking the record for the longest spacewalk before he retired, which was a personal career ambition.
00:26:46.960 -->
00:26:48.799He's only off by 75 minutes.
00:26:49.039 -->
00:26:52.160Uh, Houston confirmed that Matt would fall shy of the current record.
00:26:52.319 -->
00:27:03.920While Matt assists Ryan with unscrewing the panel, a bolt floats away from the structure, and Matt hopped off after it with a safety tether, catching him as the line went uh tight, closing his hand around the floating bolt.
00:27:04.079 -->
00:27:07.839That scene, that little shot is just so fucking good.
00:27:08.000 -->
00:27:08.160Yeah.
00:27:08.400 -->
00:27:10.799I'm just like, none of that's there, and it looks so good.
00:27:10.960 -->
00:27:17.920It's like, ah, I'm like, it's not and you know, obviously that was probably gonna be in 3D, but even still not in 3D.
00:27:18.079 -->
00:27:20.880It's such a great effect, it's insane.
00:27:21.279 -->
00:27:25.920Um, Ryan apologized, claiming that she was used to a basement lab where things fell to the floor.
00:27:26.079 -->
00:27:31.920Matt decided to take his mind off telling a story of his time in New Orleans with like some hairy guy or something.
00:27:32.240 -->
00:27:41.200Before Matt could complete the story, Houston's like, yo, astronauts from Russia like shot a missile at a damn satellite.
00:27:41.279 -->
00:27:42.880Y'all gotta get out of there.
00:27:43.440 -->
00:27:50.400Um, but yeah, so the satellite debris is hurtling right for them at over five fifty thousand miles per hour.
00:27:50.720 -->
00:27:51.119Fuck.
00:27:51.359 -->
00:27:52.559I hear that's fast.
00:27:52.960 -->
00:27:56.160Yeah, seems like that debris's gonna get a ticket.
00:27:57.440 -->
00:27:58.559Space police.
00:27:58.640 -->
00:27:59.839They could have solved everything.
00:28:00.000 -->
00:28:00.400Yeah.
00:28:01.039 -->
00:28:14.480So Matt uh makes his way back towards Sheriff and the explorer while Houston explained a Russian satellite blew up from a missile, and the resulting cloud of debris was hurtling towards the shuttle, which uh lied directly in its orbit.
00:28:14.640 -->
00:28:19.359The debris hurtles forward through space towards the shuttle as Matt turns to see it.
00:28:19.519 -->
00:28:22.240He goes to help Ryan, who is attached to a platform.
00:28:22.400 -->
00:28:29.359Just as he reached her, the first bits of the debris began to pepper the explorer, striking Sharif in the head, killing him instantly.
00:28:29.599 -->
00:28:30.160R.I.P.
00:28:30.559 -->
00:28:35.519The storm of the debris ripped through the shuttle and destroyed the structure, sending Ryan off into the void.
00:28:35.680 -->
00:28:44.559Matt, shielded by a large chunk of structure, continued issuing commands to Ryan, insisting that she could detach herself from the structure or else be carried too far from the shuttle.
00:28:44.720 -->
00:28:46.160Already could not see her anymore.
00:28:46.319 -->
00:28:51.200Stunk uh complied and released the strap and flung it even further out into space.
00:28:51.440 -->
00:29:01.680When she's attached to that fucking arm, just like please get off that I know this like whole God, I couldn't, I couldn't could barely breathe.
00:29:01.839 -->
00:29:03.599And like I was so tense.
00:29:03.759 -->
00:29:04.160Yeah.
00:29:04.480 -->
00:29:05.680And how crazy is it?
00:29:05.759 -->
00:29:17.359Because we did Armageddon, not once did I feel anything that in the first like 15 minutes of this film, I'm like, uh, this was done very well.
00:29:17.920 -->
00:29:27.839It's just it's the angles that they get in this film of because they never kind of they never go away from a character in the shot of destruction.
00:29:28.160 -->
00:29:33.680And my favorite part is later is when Sandra is getting um like on the ISS.
00:29:34.400 -->
00:29:50.559But it's just like the way they chose to put the camera in certain situations where you see someone frantically doing something, but then like behind, there's just like but and like the most fantastic part about it is it makes no sound, yeah, and it's so eerie.
00:29:50.640 -->
00:29:53.440It's like so destructive and horrifying.
00:29:53.599 -->
00:29:56.000It like almost makes you kind of feel deaf.
00:29:56.160 -->
00:30:03.680And it's just like, and because you know it was people that can hear, kind of is terrifying if you lost all your hearing suddenly and just things are happening around you.
00:30:04.000 -->
00:30:09.039Like what when you're in that situation, you're probably in shock and you're not hearing everything.
00:30:09.279 -->
00:30:14.880And then all you really hear is standard going, oh it's just terrifying.
00:30:15.200 -->
00:30:16.799It's very human and terrifying.
00:30:17.039 -->
00:30:25.359Yeah, and it and because like if something touches something in space, it just starts spinning, and there's nothing to stop it ever.
00:30:25.519 -->
00:30:28.240You're just that's just your life if you start spinning in space.
00:30:28.319 -->
00:30:29.920Like, here I am forever.
00:30:30.480 -->
00:30:31.920And it's just it's scary.
00:30:32.079 -->
00:30:32.400I don't know.
00:30:32.640 -->
00:30:34.079It is super scary, yeah.
00:30:34.480 -->
00:30:36.000It's I don't know.
00:30:36.240 -->
00:30:39.359I'm I got chills just kind of thinking about it.
00:30:39.599 -->
00:30:45.839But then like her being flung out into space, it's gotta be just a nightmare.
00:30:46.000 -->
00:30:51.680It's just it's the same as like being out in ocean, like open water in the middle of the ocean at night.
00:30:51.759 -->
00:30:57.200It'd just be like except it might be a little scarier in the ocean, actually, because you know, you might get eaten.
00:30:57.599 -->
00:31:03.440Yeah, but at least you're like grounded, like you're not just careening endless.
00:31:04.000 -->
00:31:05.599Not being able to move or anything.
00:31:05.680 -->
00:31:06.160Ugh.
00:31:06.799 -->
00:31:07.680Crazy.
00:31:08.160 -->
00:31:17.839So uh Ryan quickly tumbles away through vast expanse of space with no control over her movements, which was the slightest one with the potential to leave her spinning out into space forever.
00:31:18.000 -->
00:31:19.200Fucking terrifying.
00:31:19.440 -->
00:31:29.359Matt continued to radio instructions while she begged for assistance, ordering her to give him any information that she could that would help him locate her position, but she was spinning too fast to observe her environment.
00:31:29.519 -->
00:31:32.559As she started to slow down, Matt's voice cut out.
00:31:32.720 -->
00:31:34.240She was left floating forward.
00:31:34.400 -->
00:31:39.359Although she manages to see the International Space Station in the distance, her oxygen was dropping dangerously low.
00:31:39.519 -->
00:31:44.079Ryan panics, breathing heavily and calling out despite not receiving a transmission.
00:31:44.240 -->
00:31:49.680After a few tense moments of Stone desperately trying to signal with her flight, her radio crackled to life.
00:31:49.839 -->
00:31:52.880Matt, using his propulsion pack, found her.
00:31:53.039 -->
00:31:59.920He blasts forward, colliding with her and tethering her to him so he could tow her back to the shuttle.
00:32:00.000 -->
00:32:03.920After recovering Ryan, he transmitted his radio message to Houston's but received no response.
00:32:04.079 -->
00:32:06.720Ryan asked him, What's the point of radioing in the dark?
00:32:06.799 -->
00:32:08.799And Matt simply said, Anybody could be listening.
00:32:08.880 -->
00:32:09.839You never know.
00:32:10.079 -->
00:32:11.920Um could save their lives.
00:32:12.000 -->
00:32:14.559He also explains that they have 90 minutes to let a Briggie come back.
00:32:14.799 -->
00:32:36.079So, yeah, that stuff of where she's just alone in space, and it's just like close-ups of her face and her like the breath on her mask, and just her like labored breathing, and then cut to seeing what she sees, and it's like, hey Matt, can't see brother, brother.
00:32:36.240 -->
00:32:39.759Everything's black out here, it's just darkness.
00:32:40.160 -->
00:32:52.640Um, and then you know, the first uh this is our first collision with someone like really at a distance closing in and colliding on something, and just being like it's like, geez lease.
00:32:53.680 -->
00:32:57.839It's like, how are y'all not like just poking holes through their suits?
00:32:57.920 -->
00:32:59.519Have you ever been around a spaceship suit?
00:32:59.920 -->
00:33:00.640Like and held one?
00:33:01.119 -->
00:33:02.079Damn, I really want to.
00:33:02.160 -->
00:33:03.680I want to see feel how tough they are.
00:33:04.000 -->
00:33:04.720I bet they're thick.
00:33:05.039 -->
00:33:05.759They have to be kind of tough.
00:33:06.000 -->
00:33:06.559Want to wear one?
00:33:08.720 -->
00:33:09.279Yeah, that's true.
00:33:09.599 -->
00:33:09.920Or whatever.
00:33:10.319 -->
00:33:18.400I mean it's just I mean, I assume they I think I actually did look it up, and I think there is like a lot of layers, like different types of layers of things.
00:33:18.960 -->
00:33:21.119Probably like Kevlar in there somewhere.
00:33:21.440 -->
00:33:22.079Yeah.
00:33:22.880 -->
00:33:23.519So rad.
00:33:24.000 -->
00:33:35.599Um yeah, and this is also just kind of a scene of Matt just it's the beginning of Matt and Sandra learning, don't give up hope.
00:33:35.920 -->
00:33:38.799Continue to call out to people, don't give up hope.
00:33:39.039 -->
00:33:47.680Um, so the duo begins their return toward the shuttle and um and I love when they're like floating together and she's on the stream.
00:33:47.920 -->
00:33:48.720She's getting jerked around.
00:33:48.960 -->
00:33:54.000She's like, Matt's like, can you knock it off down there?
00:33:54.720 -->
00:33:56.559It's like it's kind of hard here, man.
00:33:56.799 -->
00:34:01.839But what I thought was really smart is like you always see him adjusting because he knows that that's gonna happen.
00:34:02.000 -->
00:34:02.319Yeah.
00:34:02.799 -->
00:34:04.480Yeah, then it's really cool.
00:34:04.720 -->
00:34:05.119I know.
00:34:05.200 -->
00:34:10.000Yeah, there was just like not a better person to put in that role, I think, than George Clooney.
00:34:10.239 -->
00:34:12.639And it's obviously because I haven't seen anybody else in that role.
00:34:12.719 -->
00:34:24.559But I'm just he's also like just like a calm, he's always calm and calm and cool, and there's like in one of our few actors where it's like he's really good at being cool, suave, but also very neurotic.
00:34:24.800 -->
00:34:32.480And it's like, but when you this is the perfect situation, yeah, and like it's just like, all right, thank God we got the cool suave George Cloney.
00:34:33.280 -->
00:34:35.360So um keep talking forever.
00:34:35.519 -->
00:34:35.760Yeah.
00:34:36.000 -->
00:34:44.719Once they're kind of getting close to um the uh their space shuttle thing, um, they see a body floating beneath them.
00:34:44.880 -->
00:34:49.280It's Sheriff's body, uh, separated from the shuttle by his broken tether as well.
00:34:49.440 -->
00:34:54.719Matt guided the propulsion back towards Sheriff and ordered Ryan to grab him.
00:34:54.880 -->
00:35:00.400Looking at Shrif, she sees that a chunk of debris ripped through his helmet, leaving a hole through his face.
00:35:00.639 -->
00:35:01.280Have face.
00:35:01.599 -->
00:35:01.840Yeah.
00:35:02.079 -->
00:35:03.679Through which she could see clean through.
00:35:03.760 -->
00:35:10.880She looks away, noticing the first time a laminate eliminated photo tethered to Shreef's suit to his family down below.
00:35:11.119 -->
00:35:12.960Oh, he used to look normal.
00:35:13.199 -->
00:35:15.679It's like, oh, that's what he looked like without a hole in his face.
00:35:16.320 -->
00:35:16.880Yeah.
00:35:17.760 -->
00:35:20.559Uh yeah, that that was insane.
00:35:20.719 -->
00:35:24.719And I liked her reaction of just like stunned silence instead of being like, ah.
00:35:25.519 -->
00:35:25.760Yeah.
00:35:26.000 -->
00:35:28.320Though at this point it's like she can't breathe barely.
00:35:28.400 -->
00:35:33.199So um because they were talking about like, what's your favorite thing about being up here?
00:35:33.440 -->
00:35:33.599Yeah.
00:35:33.840 -->
00:35:35.760And she's like, I like the silence.
00:35:36.000 -->
00:35:36.559Yeah.
00:35:37.679 -->
00:35:43.519I will say, you know, she gets she gets to tell Sharice's family like he died the way he wanted to go.
00:35:43.760 -->
00:35:45.039With a with a hole in his face.
00:35:48.159 -->
00:35:48.639Yeah.
00:35:50.000 -->
00:35:58.000So arriving at the wreckage of the shuttle, they see that the hole was breached and the rest of the crew died from exp uh being exposed to freezing vacuum of space.
00:35:58.559 -->
00:35:59.679Just lack of oxygen.
00:36:00.000 -->
00:36:03.280We also get uh um the a great jump scare.
00:36:03.360 -->
00:36:08.480Yeah, which is I completely forgot there was a jump scare, and actually I was just like typing, and I was like, ugh.
00:36:10.800 -->
00:36:11.599This is great.
00:36:11.840 -->
00:36:17.679Um so uh with life support running dry, Matt made their next move clear.
00:36:17.840 -->
00:36:23.440They need to get to the International Space Station nearby and use the escape pod to get back to Earth.
00:36:23.679 -->
00:36:26.239It's only a quick jaunt across the globe.
00:36:26.559 -->
00:36:27.199Yeah, right.
00:36:28.800 -->
00:36:31.119Oh, I'd be like, I don't know, man.
00:36:31.199 -->
00:36:32.400Maybe I'll just die.
00:36:33.039 -->
00:36:34.400That seems scary.
00:36:35.039 -->
00:36:35.519Or no.
00:36:36.400 -->
00:36:38.320Do a face dive into Earth.
00:36:39.199 -->
00:36:40.000Bright up in the air.
00:36:40.239 -->
00:36:41.760I wish there was like some way.
00:36:42.000 -->
00:36:47.920Like once we eventually are able to get into space and just kind of do stuff on space, which will probably never happen.
00:36:48.079 -->
00:36:51.199Um, this would be a great ride for a theme park.
00:36:51.280 -->
00:36:51.599Yeah.
00:36:51.840 -->
00:36:54.239Just like slowly go across space.
00:36:55.199 -->
00:36:59.440And like you're you're kind of just locked into this traject trajectory.
00:36:59.519 -->
00:36:59.599Yeah.
00:36:59.760 -->
00:37:00.480You have to survive.
00:37:00.719 -->
00:37:01.840It's like there's nothing you can do.
00:37:01.920 -->
00:37:02.960You can wiggle your arms and stuff.
00:37:03.119 -->
00:37:05.920They lower the oxygen in your ride, and you're like, sip.
00:37:06.000 -->
00:37:06.400It's wine.
00:37:06.480 -->
00:37:07.119It's not beer.
00:37:07.440 -->
00:37:12.079It's like now you'll start seeing hallucinations, and it's like, whoa, this is gonna be a trippy ride.
00:37:12.400 -->
00:37:14.880Ooh, doing mushrooms just floating out in space.
00:37:15.039 -->
00:37:16.719Oh, that'd be crazy.
00:37:17.039 -->
00:37:18.239Never done them, so I wouldn't know.
00:37:18.400 -->
00:37:20.320But I would probably be crazy.
00:37:23.039 -->
00:37:26.719All right, so they travel leisurely and listen to country music.
00:37:26.960 -->
00:37:27.280Lol.
00:37:27.599 -->
00:37:29.760I'd be like, dude, you couldn't be into any other John.
00:37:32.400 -->
00:37:36.000It's like at least it wasn't like at least it seemed like it seemed like pretty decent country music.
00:37:36.159 -->
00:37:36.960It was Hank Williams.
00:37:37.119 -->
00:37:37.360Yeah.
00:37:37.519 -->
00:37:38.079All right.
00:37:38.960 -->
00:37:44.239It's like I guess if you're gonna be out in space and listen to country music, that country music's not too bad.
00:37:44.320 -->
00:37:44.639Right.
00:37:44.800 -->
00:37:46.159So as Ryan continues to note her.
00:37:46.639 -->
00:37:48.320She thinks my tracks are six.
00:37:49.280 -->
00:37:51.440Honky tunk, but don't kid.
00:37:53.519 -->
00:37:54.800Like, Matt, can we maybe change the session?
00:37:55.760 -->
00:37:57.039Can we change the section, please?
00:37:58.559 -->
00:38:00.559I just turned my oxygen down to zero.
00:38:00.719 -->
00:38:00.960Yeah.
00:38:01.199 -->
00:38:03.280Just like time into one of those things.
00:38:03.440 -->
00:38:03.679Yeah.
00:38:04.159 -->
00:38:07.039Dude, I was so obsessed with that song, honky tonk, but don't kid.
00:38:08.079 -->
00:38:18.800That was when I was in junior high and I was still listening, I still listen to a lot of country, and I had that I had that album, and I just remember being on the bus with that song on repeat over and over.
00:38:19.280 -->
00:38:21.199It's like an hour drive.
00:38:22.159 -->
00:38:23.360Such a horn dog.
00:38:23.840 -->
00:38:25.599It was just such a funny song.
00:38:25.840 -->
00:38:28.800It's like a good, it's a bad song that's good.
00:38:30.480 -->
00:38:31.760It's catchy and bad.
00:38:31.920 -->
00:38:39.280It's the worst, it is the pinnacle of bad country music, and that's where we're that's where all honestly I think it's better than a lot of modern day country.
00:38:39.440 -->
00:38:40.079You're right.
00:38:42.719 -->
00:38:50.000No, but I mean that is kind of whenever it's just like, you know, like country music was starting to not be country music and just mainly just pop music.
00:38:50.239 -->
00:38:51.760Yeah, it's horrible.
00:38:52.159 -->
00:38:52.880Hot take.
00:38:53.039 -->
00:38:54.079Country music sucks.
00:38:54.239 -->
00:38:56.960And if you like country music, that's okay.
00:38:57.280 -->
00:39:01.119Uh, Neon Moon and Time Marches On.
00:39:01.280 -->
00:39:03.440Fucking two good ass songs.
00:39:06.400 -->
00:39:07.760God, that song is so good.
00:39:07.920 -->
00:39:17.760So, as Ryan continues to note her dwindling oxygen supply, Matt tries to calm her down by asking her about her normal life on Earth and if there was anyone thinking about her.
00:39:18.079 -->
00:39:23.280Uh, Ryan's very evasive about this, but Matt's prodding resulted in quiet confession.
00:39:23.440 -->
00:39:29.519Years prior, her four-year-old daughter, Sarah, had an accident on the school playground and died when she hit her head too hard.
00:39:29.760 -->
00:39:30.239Don't.
00:39:30.559 -->
00:39:36.559Uh, Stone revealed that every day after work at the hospital, she drove and listened to the radio to avoid thinking about it.
00:39:36.719 -->
00:39:39.519Ryan looks out at Earth, lost in her own head.
00:39:39.920 -->
00:39:41.199Yeah, she wouldn't even go home.
00:39:41.280 -->
00:39:42.559She would just drive forever.
00:39:42.719 -->
00:39:43.039Yeah.
00:39:43.199 -->
00:39:51.280It's something that this movie does that it just it ups it into like, I don't know, like a four-star movie to a five-star movie.
00:39:51.519 -->
00:39:54.400Is it multiple times during the movie?
00:39:54.639 -->
00:40:00.719You'll just a character will be talking about something, and as they're about to start trailing off, the camera just pans the earth.
00:40:00.880 -->
00:40:01.039Yeah.
00:40:01.280 -->
00:40:02.239And then pans back around.
00:40:02.480 -->
00:40:02.960It's a bigger picture.
00:40:03.199 -->
00:40:12.159It did it earlier to Matt, and now it's doing it to her, and it's just like I don't know, it's just like who the fuck are we to be so upset about our problems?
00:40:12.480 -->
00:40:16.000Like we have this whole earth that we could just go and do anything on.
00:40:16.639 -->
00:40:22.960That's also the line that made me realize that she would just do anything to get away from normal everyday life.
00:40:23.119 -->
00:40:23.360Yeah.
00:40:23.599 -->
00:40:24.239Like be in space.
00:40:24.719 -->
00:40:29.199Yeah, and I think there's a little bit of her looking out of the earth and it's being like, Do I really want to go back?
00:40:29.440 -->
00:40:30.480No, I don't think she does.
00:40:31.039 -->
00:40:31.840What's the point?
00:40:32.079 -->
00:40:32.719Yeah.
00:40:33.440 -->
00:40:34.079Yeah.
00:40:34.719 -->
00:40:36.239Just going through it up there, man.
00:40:36.719 -->
00:40:38.639Tough time in space, apparently.
00:40:39.440 -->
00:40:48.480So the I ISS is in view while Ryan's auction is uh dwindling, but there are clear signs of structural damage from the debris strike to the ISS.
00:40:48.719 -->
00:40:53.920The pair noticed that one of the Suyez re-entry modules of the ISS was gone.
00:40:54.000 -->
00:40:57.280So yeah, they I guess the team got out of there.
00:40:57.360 -->
00:40:58.719The crew abandoned the station.
00:40:58.800 -->
00:41:03.599The other Suyez the more I say it, the harder it gets to say it.
00:41:03.679 -->
00:41:05.840And it that should it should be the opposite, right?
00:41:06.400 -->
00:41:14.800Uh the other uh module was damaged in the debris strike, resulting in a parachute that was deployed and currently entangled around the station.
00:41:15.119 -->
00:41:21.519Matt told her that while it could not bring them back to Earth, they could use it to get to a nearby Chinese space station.
00:41:21.679 -->
00:41:22.960The Tian Yang.
00:41:23.679 -->
00:41:23.920Yeah.
00:41:24.159 -->
00:41:26.960Uh Matt checked his propulsion pack.
00:41:27.039 -->
00:41:35.360There are only two bursts left if they are lucky if this time Ryan's tank ran out of oxygen, but she has a small amount left in her suit.
00:41:37.280 -->
00:41:38.000It's so good.
00:41:38.480 -->
00:41:39.760It's almost debris time again.
00:41:40.000 -->
00:41:43.119I know, I couldn't fucking breathe at all during all of this.
00:41:43.599 -->
00:41:47.280I was I was taking short breaths myself to conserve oxygen.
00:41:47.599 -->
00:41:48.480It's like, man.
00:41:48.880 -->
00:41:51.360It's such a strong feeling.
00:41:51.679 -->
00:41:52.079Yeah.
00:41:52.320 -->
00:41:53.840Um I know.
00:41:55.199 -->
00:41:59.199It's just like I love the propulsion systems on these seats.
00:41:59.280 -->
00:42:04.079I don't know what it is, but and I get real bummed out when it's like I only got two bursts left.
00:42:04.159 -->
00:42:08.400I'm like, is there not a way to put more air in that thing?
00:42:08.719 -->
00:42:10.159Well, he used a lot of it.
00:42:10.320 -->
00:42:10.559I know.
00:42:10.639 -->
00:42:14.320This is why I shouldn't have been messing around, floating around, George.
00:42:14.559 -->
00:42:16.880They're just spraying axe body spray out.
00:42:18.000 -->
00:42:19.920Space is never spelled better.
00:42:21.840 -->
00:42:27.360So pretty man, uh axe body spray.
00:42:27.440 -->
00:42:31.360If you need any commercial ideas, I think we got uh we got some ideas.
00:42:32.159 -->
00:42:34.239And we have a good tagline already.
00:42:34.639 -->
00:42:42.239So as their oxygen in supplies begins to bottom out, Matt fired the remaining bursts towards the ISS as the two blasted forward.
00:42:42.400 -->
00:42:46.000They struck the ISS and rolled forward, tumbling away from one another.
00:42:46.159 -->
00:42:52.880Ryan successfully caught on to part of the ISS paneling, but Matt was not so lucky, bouncing off the paneling out to space.
00:42:53.199 -->
00:43:02.639The connection tether snapped um tight, ripping Ryan free of the ISS and dragging her out into space.
00:43:02.719 -->
00:43:05.199Their connection tether Whoa.
00:43:05.440 -->
00:43:12.400So as they were pulled out into space, Ryan's leg caught on a parachute cord of the uh the module, keeping her attached to the ISS.
00:43:12.639 -->
00:43:19.760But Matt saw the connection was tenuous at best, his momentum from continuous deceleration was going to pull her free and they would both die.
00:43:19.920 -->
00:43:28.239Ryan realized that Matt was going to detach his from his suit from the connection tether and begged him not to, but Matt told her that she had to get back to the planet.
00:43:28.320 -->
00:43:31.360He disconnects to the tether and floats off.
00:43:31.599 -->
00:43:32.320Holy fuck.
00:43:32.480 -->
00:43:33.280Another great scene.
00:43:33.360 -->
00:43:37.039This is a lot of like r bumping into the space stuff.
00:43:37.199 -->
00:43:38.480And I'm like, how are they not dead?
00:43:38.719 -->
00:43:40.000Just trying to grab anything.
00:43:40.320 -->
00:43:46.719Man, just the point of view from like her just sticking her hands out and nearly missing everything.
00:43:46.880 -->
00:43:48.480And then it's just it's so stressful.
00:43:49.119 -->
00:43:51.360And it's like, of course, Matt did it perfectly.
00:43:51.519 -->
00:43:58.960And then he's got a but then they're connected and they get wrapped around like the I don't know what they call it, the wings of the satellite or whatever.
00:44:00.320 -->
00:44:00.559Yeah.
00:44:00.719 -->
00:44:02.079And then it kind of rips the thing.
00:44:02.159 -->
00:44:03.199And it's like, no.
00:44:03.920 -->
00:44:06.719It's like y'all could have been safe in America.
00:44:07.519 -->
00:44:14.880Um, but yeah, so um, as Ryan is propelled back towards the ISS by the disconnect, Matt continued to tell her what to do.
00:44:15.039 -->
00:44:17.360Her spacesuit begins blaring alarms.
00:44:17.519 -->
00:44:20.320She has no oxygen remaining, only carbon dioxide.
00:44:20.559 -->
00:44:29.119Matt instructs Ryan to climb up to the side of the ISS to the airlock, roughly like 40 feet away, I guess, and made her promise that she was gonna make it.
00:44:29.280 -->
00:44:34.159Instead, Stone claimed that she intended to take the Suyez and retrieve him first.
00:44:34.320 -->
00:44:42.880He told her that the ship sailed because he had too much of a head start on her and joked that he would hold the record for the longest spacewalk for a long time.
00:44:43.119 -->
00:44:45.360Stone said that she would make it for him.
00:44:45.920 -->
00:44:51.519Matt asked her if she was attracted to him, claiming that many women said that he had beautiful blue eyes.
00:44:51.760 -->
00:44:56.400Uh Stone said that he had beautiful blue eyes, and Matt claimed that her his eyes were brown.
00:44:56.960 -->
00:44:58.000Like from the beginning.
00:44:58.239 -->
00:45:02.960But the whole this scene was like super stressful.
00:45:03.280 -->
00:45:09.679And but like the whole, like, every time he mentioned a direction, he's like, it's up above the airlock is above you.
00:45:09.840 -->
00:45:10.559Look to the west.
00:45:10.719 -->
00:45:11.360I was like, Yeah.
00:45:11.599 -->
00:45:14.000How the fuck do you know which way is which?
00:45:14.400 -->
00:45:16.079Where the sun's rotation.
00:45:16.400 -->
00:45:18.159Like, how are we supposed to know here?
00:45:18.480 -->
00:45:22.559The only way we know what is west is where the sun is.
00:45:23.119 -->
00:45:27.119So, like, I don't Yeah, it's not like you can have a compass in space.
00:45:28.480 -->
00:45:32.719I guess when you're upside down, maybe they don't use left and right, they use west and east.
00:45:32.960 -->
00:45:33.280I don't know.
00:45:33.519 -->
00:45:34.639I don't I have no idea.
00:45:35.519 -->
00:45:38.960Matt tells Ryan that the sun on the Ganges was beautiful.
00:45:39.119 -->
00:45:43.679Ryan is now only breathing the carbon dioxide in her suit in her oxygen-deprived state.
00:45:43.840 -->
00:45:54.719She reached out to Matt and attempted to grab him with her vision distorted and her mental state slowing as she loses consonant cons consciousness from uh hypercapnia.
00:45:55.119 -->
00:45:59.199Ryan eventually forced to jump into space towards the airlock and she barely reached it.
00:45:59.280 -->
00:46:04.719She opens the airlock just in time, activated the decompression unit, flooding the chamber with oxygen.
00:46:04.880 -->
00:46:08.559She stripped her suit and breathed large gulps of air as she floats.
00:46:08.719 -->
00:46:11.840She slowly curls into fetal position and falls asleep.
00:46:12.079 -->
00:46:13.760Oh yeah, that was the last scene.
00:46:13.920 -->
00:46:16.239Yes, and this is a part of her rebirth.
00:46:16.480 -->
00:46:16.880Yeah.
00:46:17.280 -->
00:46:18.079That's cool.
00:46:18.320 -->
00:46:18.480Yeah.
00:46:18.800 -->
00:46:19.840She's like in a womb.
00:46:20.000 -->
00:46:20.559Yeah, I know.
00:46:20.639 -->
00:46:29.199And then like you got the like her, I guess like her little tether from her spacesuit, and it's kind of flying up like it's an umbilical cord.
00:46:29.440 -->
00:46:29.840Oh, cool.
00:46:29.920 -->
00:46:31.119Yeah, I never thought about that.
00:46:31.360 -->
00:46:34.000Yeah, it's uh a fucking radass scene.
00:46:34.239 -->
00:46:38.880So I think I had it as my um phone wallpaper for a while.
00:46:39.119 -->
00:46:43.280Just because I was like, I get what this movie's trying to say.
00:46:44.480 -->
00:47:00.559Um, also, nothing seems more terrifying than well, scary from obviously both angles, but talking to someone that is drifting away that you'll never be able to save or see anything, and just having to live with that grief.
00:47:00.639 -->
00:47:04.800And it's just like, how does she come out of this more normal than she was before?
00:47:05.119 -->
00:47:07.360Obviously, she's not, she's gonna need tons of therapy.
00:47:07.599 -->
00:47:07.840Yeah.
00:47:08.400 -->
00:47:10.480But you're right, it is good.
00:47:10.800 -->
00:47:16.400Like, I was kind of glad that she lost connection with him because then she wouldn't have to listen to him run out of air.
00:47:16.639 -->
00:47:18.159Yeah, yeah, that'd be awful.
00:47:19.199 -->
00:47:19.519Yeah.
00:47:19.760 -->
00:47:26.400I was just thinking, I was like, man, it's to be that I mean, luckily for him, he had music, so yeah.
00:47:26.639 -->
00:47:30.159It's like at least he gets to enjoy a little bit of a movie.
00:47:30.320 -->
00:47:36.400I wonder if that was I wonder if that was um like a nod to Apollo 13.
00:47:36.559 -->
00:47:44.320Because whenever uh in Apollo 13, they asked what kind of music would you take into space, and this guy's like, I would take all the Hank Williams albums.
00:47:44.800 -->
00:47:45.360Oh, maybe.
00:47:45.440 -->
00:47:49.280Because I mean they had Ed Harris a part of the movie as a nod to Apollo 13.
00:47:49.360 -->
00:47:50.880So I'm assuming that was a huge inspiration.
00:47:51.119 -->
00:47:51.360Probably.
00:47:51.519 -->
00:47:52.880Now I really want to watch Apollo 13.
00:47:53.039 -->
00:47:54.480I know that's my Netflix.
00:47:54.639 -->
00:47:55.199It's my double feature.
00:47:55.360 -->
00:47:55.840Not figure too.
00:47:56.000 -->
00:47:57.760By the way, don't take it, you asshole.
00:47:58.000 -->
00:47:58.559I didn't.
00:47:58.639 -->
00:48:00.400I chose a different space movie.
00:48:00.559 -->
00:48:02.400One of my other favorite space movies.
00:48:03.360 -->
00:48:07.280So after taking a few minutes to recover, Ryan started to make her way through the ISS.
00:48:07.519 -->
00:48:10.800Despite the damage, the oxygen atmosphere was still intact.
00:48:11.039 -->
00:48:18.960She passed by some sparkling wires which ignited the ignites into balls of fire that floated through the um environment.
00:48:19.119 -->
00:48:22.880Ryan failed to notice this because she was too preoccupied to contact Matt.
00:48:23.039 -->
00:48:26.639She quickly put on a headset and contacted Matt, who was not responding.
00:48:26.880 -->
00:48:35.119At first, she chastised him, claiming that now that now that now was the only time during the whole mission where he stopped talking.
00:48:35.280 -->
00:48:42.320Um but she asked him to continue his Mardi Gras story, begging to t begging him to tell her what happened to the hairy guy.
00:48:42.480 -->
00:48:53.679Matt still did not reply, and she was forced to transmit to Houston that she's the sole survivor of the mission, with Matt having apparently succumbed to carbon dioxide poisoning in his spacesuit.
00:48:54.079 -->
00:49:03.360Um I love when she's going through the little space thing, all the little things flying up, uh, and the the fire being balls.
00:49:03.440 -->
00:49:04.559I was like, whoa.
00:49:05.360 -->
00:49:09.519I know there a lot of the things like floating around are kind of interesting.
00:49:09.760 -->
00:49:14.960Like the first one they get to the space shuttle and the two dead people are inside, there's like Marvin the Martian.
00:49:15.760 -->
00:49:17.599Yeah, I mean, you gotta have Marvin the Martian.
00:49:17.760 -->
00:49:19.360He's the OG space shuttle.
00:49:19.519 -->
00:49:22.480And then when they get to the Chinese one, there's like a ping pong paddle.
00:49:22.639 -->
00:49:22.800Yeah.
00:49:23.119 -->
00:49:25.440Like, what's going on here?
00:49:25.840 -->
00:49:28.079Well, China's really good at ping pong, I guess.
00:49:28.159 -->
00:49:28.639I don't know.
00:49:28.880 -->
00:49:29.760They like ping pong.
00:49:30.320 -->
00:49:32.000National sport, maybe.
00:49:32.639 -->
00:49:37.599I guess it was like in the American one, there should have been a football and a baseball.
00:49:37.920 -->
00:49:39.679It's like a fucking McDonald's hamburger.
00:49:39.840 -->
00:49:43.440If it was British, it would be just some soccer balls or rugby.
00:49:43.760 -->
00:49:45.360I guess that'd be Australia.
00:49:45.760 -->
00:49:50.800So uh she looks somberly out the window at Earth, so close yet, so far away.
00:49:50.960 -->
00:49:52.960And here's what I love about this, right?
00:49:53.119 -->
00:49:55.280So this is kind of like her moment.
00:49:55.360 -->
00:49:57.199Uh she's made it inside something.
00:49:57.360 -->
00:49:58.639She can be calm.
00:49:58.880 -->
00:50:00.400What does she look down at?
00:50:00.639 -->
00:50:01.760A hurricane.
00:50:02.000 -->
00:50:04.400Because this is calm before the storm, baby.
00:50:04.719 -->
00:50:05.039That's cool.
00:50:05.440 -->
00:50:08.000This movie is fucking good.
00:50:08.400 -->
00:50:10.719Metaphors for days, baby.
00:50:10.960 -->
00:50:13.360But I was like, oh shit, that's a hurricane.
00:50:13.679 -->
00:50:15.039Calm before the storm.
00:50:15.280 -->
00:50:23.199Yeah, I think I feel like the lack of a lot of monologue really allows you to look at the surroundings in a cool way.
00:50:23.440 -->
00:50:27.199It's like the problem with a lot of movies is they talk too damn much.
00:50:27.360 -->
00:50:29.519You can cut it's a visual medium.
00:50:29.679 -->
00:50:31.679We can just see and put things together.
00:50:31.840 -->
00:50:32.079Yeah.
00:50:32.239 -->
00:50:36.480But I mean, a lot of movies now, um, like Netflix, all their movies are second screen.
00:50:36.719 -->
00:50:41.199Like they force directors to be like, all right, you got to second screen this movie.
00:50:41.360 -->
00:50:43.599You have to remember people are looking at their phones.
00:50:43.760 -->
00:50:48.719So it's why in Stranger Things every episode they describe the plot of what they're doing five times.
00:50:50.159 -->
00:50:53.440Like, trust people to be smart enough to get what you're trying to say.
00:50:53.679 -->
00:51:11.599It's like sometimes you just need to, and it's just like that's something that's so beautiful about older, well, not older movies, because a lot of them they do talk too much, but like really in like the like Kubrick, like a lot of his stuff is just like you just have to feel what's going on more than just like hear what's going on.
00:51:11.679 -->
00:51:13.760It's a real like a lot of shining is like that.
00:51:13.920 -->
00:51:15.280Yeah, that's true.
00:51:15.519 -->
00:51:22.719It's like it's they don't talk a lot, but like whenever he's like running around walking around crazy, you see the surroundings being weird and things like that.
00:51:23.039 -->
00:51:29.519And that's the makes you feel like this is a movie that was made to be seen in a big theater with lots, you know.
00:51:30.239 -->
00:51:31.199I wish they'd bring it back.
00:51:31.360 -->
00:51:32.960If they brought it back to IMAX, I would go.
00:51:33.280 -->
00:51:33.599Oh, sure.
00:51:34.320 -->
00:51:34.719Yeah.
00:51:35.280 -->
00:51:40.719So sadly, her sanctuary now may be her tomb.
00:51:41.039 -->
00:51:50.159Because the sparks from the exposed wiring starts starts a massive fire inside the ISS, which quickly engulfs the entire station, making her uh terrified.
00:51:50.480 -->
00:51:59.519Ryan grabs a fire extinguisher and tries to fight the inferno, but the lack of gravity causes the extinguisher to recoil to push her into a wall, bruising her and cutting her face.
00:52:00.320 -->
00:52:05.840She likes loses consciousness for a moment and everything as her blood drips into space, which is rad as hell.
00:52:06.079 -->
00:52:16.559But luckily was able to wake up and race past the fire, making it to the second Suya's capsule just in time as the inferno inferno engulfs the node that she was in.
00:52:16.719 -->
00:52:17.199Stone.
00:52:17.599 -->
00:52:23.920Uh Ryan also took the takes the fire extinguisher with her in case the blaze should erupt inside the capsule.
00:52:24.639 -->
00:52:27.840One of the things I really loved is that there's always a manual.
00:52:28.079 -->
00:52:28.320Yes.
00:52:28.719 -->
00:52:29.760There has to be.
00:52:30.079 -->
00:52:30.960That many buttons?
00:52:31.199 -->
00:52:31.440I know.
00:52:31.519 -->
00:52:32.639There's so many buttons.
00:52:32.880 -->
00:52:36.239My biggest issue with everything these days, they don't come with manuals.
00:52:36.800 -->
00:52:39.519You always gotta go to like a link, and it's like never the right manual.
00:52:39.920 -->
00:52:44.960I had to YouTube how to reprogram my remote like remote control for the TV last night.
00:52:45.039 -->
00:52:45.280Yeah.
00:52:45.679 -->
00:52:47.119And I was stressed.
00:52:48.159 -->
00:52:48.719I know.
00:52:48.960 -->
00:52:52.320It's like, wasn't technology supposed to make everything easier?
00:52:52.480 -->
00:52:56.239It's only made things more frustrating, I feel like.
00:52:57.280 -->
00:52:58.000So um right.
00:52:58.480 -->
00:52:59.519I would have been fucked.
00:52:59.760 -->
00:53:00.320Yeah.
00:53:00.639 -->
00:53:01.840Yeah, you put me in that space.
00:53:02.639 -->
00:53:09.199Can I hold TV and the power button to reprogram this fucking Suez module?
00:53:09.599 -->
00:53:12.000It's like, hey, Siri, turn on the machine, please.
00:53:12.400 -->
00:53:13.920Point to Earth, please, sir.
00:53:14.159 -->
00:53:14.719Ma'am.
00:53:15.280 -->
00:53:15.760Robot.
00:53:16.079 -->
00:53:18.559That's why we need uh Scotty to beam them up.
00:53:19.119 -->
00:53:29.280So Ryan glances at her watch and realizes she has seven minutes to escape the ISS before the debris completes another orbit and wipes out the remainder of the station.
00:53:29.440 -->
00:53:36.400She fires the thrusters of the capsule and sets herself free from the ISS before jerking to a stop suddenly.
00:53:36.480 -->
00:53:44.400The parachute cables kept the capsule anchored to the ISS and swinging her around in the ship narrowly misses the ISS a couple times before stabilizing.
00:53:44.719 -->
00:53:45.599Crazy.
00:53:46.559 -->
00:53:52.960So this is this whole starting from this scene now is probably my favorite part of the whole movie.
00:53:53.199 -->
00:53:57.280It's just the visuals, just how into it I am at this point.
00:53:57.519 -->
00:54:01.039It really starts with a ship just swinging around, narrowly missing everything.
00:54:01.199 -->
00:54:03.280And it's just like bruh.
00:54:03.679 -->
00:54:07.360And every time she looks out the window, she's being dragged towards the destruction.
00:54:07.760 -->
00:54:14.800And like because she is she has like one little camera from like where she dogs, and then two tiny windows next to her, and she keeps turning to her.
00:54:17.360 -->
00:54:18.960Make bigger windows.
00:54:19.519 -->
00:54:39.039Um but yeah, so she quickly dressed into a spare spacesuit and goes outside um to the module and began releasing the parachute cables from the capsules as the debris strikes arrived, blasting the ISS that deflected narrowly away from Ryan's capsule as the ISS was destroyed.
00:54:39.199 -->
00:54:44.079Ryan scrambled back into the capsule and fired away from the debris, remarking, I hate space.
00:54:44.320 -->
00:54:45.679Yeah, space sucks.
00:54:46.000 -->
00:54:54.639So this is this is what I was talking about earlier when I'm like, you're kind of focused on a character, and then you know, like stuff is happening behind them.
00:54:54.719 -->
00:54:57.679And this is the best, I think, that it does it.
00:54:57.920 -->
00:55:07.760Cause she's there, she's un she's got like a drill, and she un drills some things, throwing some more debris out in space, and it's like Sandra, this is what's causing this.
00:55:08.480 -->
00:55:13.280And then you know, she sees the bird debris coming, it's like, oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
00:55:13.440 -->
00:55:16.639And then like this ISS is just getting pelted with it.
00:55:17.519 -->
00:55:18.320And it's so good.
00:55:18.400 -->
00:55:24.480And then of course it spins her around, and she's like, she's like lucky, she keeps getting so fucking lucky.
00:55:24.559 -->
00:55:26.320It's like, hey, you want to die?
00:55:26.559 -->
00:55:29.840Something something's trying to tell you that you're supposed to live.
00:55:30.159 -->
00:55:34.079Whatever you believe in, it's telling you that you deserve to live.
00:55:34.639 -->
00:55:36.880But man, crazy.
00:55:37.119 -->
00:55:38.159It was an incredible scene.
00:55:38.320 -->
00:55:40.239I thought maybe she'd have a knife or something.
00:55:40.480 -->
00:55:43.039No, I mean you can't have a knife in space.
00:55:43.199 -->
00:55:44.719You don't need a knife in space.
00:55:45.039 -->
00:55:46.400Should have brought a gun.
00:55:47.360 -->
00:55:48.400You brought a gun to space.
00:55:48.639 -->
00:55:49.920Shit in the debris.
00:55:50.800 -->
00:55:52.480It's coming right for me.
00:55:53.679 -->
00:56:01.519So Ryan resets her watch to 90 minutes and begins setting this flight path to line up with the Chinese space station.
00:56:01.679 -->
00:56:07.519When she passes uh the when she presses the fire button, she realizes she was out of fuel.
00:56:07.840 -->
00:56:09.760She taps the thing and it goes to empty.
00:56:09.920 -->
00:56:10.719Like, what the fuck?
00:56:12.559 -->
00:56:23.199Ryan nearly has a breakdown after smacking the equipment, and I love it because she's starting to freak out, and then it cuts to the outside of the ship where it's very muffled, and I was like, man, the sound is everything is so effective.
00:56:23.679 -->
00:56:24.800The silence is deafening.
00:56:25.280 -->
00:56:26.159It's crazy.
00:56:26.400 -->
00:56:35.039It's just like if someone's having like a nervous breakdown and screaming in a house, but you're like walking on the street outside, and it's like, that seems stressful.
00:56:35.119 -->
00:56:36.639I'm gonna walk out of here.
00:56:36.880 -->
00:56:38.159I'm gonna ignore it.
00:56:39.360 -->
00:56:46.559So um she eventually stops uh and doesn't do anything and wonders what to do.
00:56:46.719 -->
00:56:58.559Having stayed in the capsule for some time and already suffering from hypercapnia, stone Ryan begins feeling dizzy from carbon dioxide poison and realizing that she would die unless she got help fast.
00:56:58.719 -->
00:57:10.800Desperate for some sort of assistance, Ryan tries to use the radio as a last resort, but only managed to stumble upon the frequency of a ham radio belonging to a Greenlandic fisherman who did not speak English.
00:57:11.039 -->
00:57:17.920Ryan at first believed it was a person from Chinese space station, but realized that he was calling from Earth after hearing his dogs barking.
00:57:18.239 -->
00:57:31.679Ryan gives up hope and she realized that the man could not understand her pleas, wanting some sort of accompaniment, she asked him to make her dogs bark, and after barking with them, she broke down crying, claiming that she was going to die and knowing this terrified her.
00:57:32.000 -->
00:57:42.400Yeah, it's really um makes you feel like when you're suffering from something and you don't feel like anyone else can understand.
00:57:42.559 -->
00:57:43.920It's kind of what a panic attack feels like.
00:57:44.559 -->
00:57:47.920It's like for some reason you just have this overwhelming doom set in.
00:57:48.559 -->
00:57:52.000And I'm sure this is way worse, obviously, because you're gonna die.
00:57:52.159 -->
00:57:54.960But like whenever I have a panic attack, I'm like, I'm gonna fucking die.
00:57:55.039 -->
00:57:55.360Yeah.
00:57:55.519 -->
00:57:59.039And like every little pain or something like this is it.
00:57:59.440 -->
00:58:01.039You don't think anyone else can understand?
00:58:01.519 -->
00:58:14.639I remember um went to go watch uh last night in Soho, and you know, I had like coffee that day, and then like I think we had two cups of coffee and one right before the theater, then we go in, and then I get popcorn and a Coke.
00:58:14.880 -->
00:58:18.400And usually if I get bad acid reflux, it triggers a panic attack.
00:58:18.480 -->
00:58:18.800Oh no.
00:58:18.960 -->
00:58:28.480So I'm just in the middle of this horror movie having a panic attack, and I'm like trying to stay calm and normal and just like ride it out while I'm just seeing like you know, stressful things on scene.
00:58:28.639 -->
00:58:31.920I was trying not to wiggle too much, but Natalie afterwards like, Were you okay?
00:58:32.000 -->
00:58:33.199I was like, I had a panic attack.
00:58:33.360 -->
00:58:37.280Oh no, it's like it's just so weird the amount of doom it makes you feel.
00:58:37.679 -->
00:58:41.119Just feels like everything's gonna go horribly.
00:58:41.280 -->
00:58:44.719And then I'm like, Cool, now I can see women get killed.
00:58:45.360 -->
00:58:47.519We can just fill that hole with popcorn.
00:58:47.679 -->
00:58:48.320Yeah.
00:58:49.280 -->
00:58:58.239So Ryan asks the man to say a prayer for her as she was stuck in space and would be torn apart by debris, filled with no one to know that she survived.
00:58:58.400 -->
00:59:01.840Um, this is where we start getting floating tears and it fucking rolls.
00:59:02.079 -->
00:59:12.960However, when Ryan hears the man cooing his baby with a lullaby, she remembered how she used to sing to her baby and realized that she wanted she wanted to die so there was no more pain over the loss of her child.
00:59:13.039 -->
00:59:19.039Accepting that she would die, she turned the oxygen flow off to the cabin and turned the lights off for painless suicide.
00:59:19.280 -->
00:59:25.679Stone was slowly drifting to deep sleep to succumb to oxygen deprivation when there was a knock at the door.
00:59:27.519 -->
00:59:29.679Oh shit, it's George Clooney.
00:59:29.920 -->
00:59:31.519George, how'd you get out here?
00:59:31.760 -->
00:59:32.559Come on in.
00:59:32.719 -->
00:59:34.159I was just swinging by.
00:59:35.519 -->
00:59:38.000Just in your neighborhood, decided to stop by.
00:59:38.159 -->
00:59:45.440So yeah, there's an astronaut gesturing outside as she started to kind of resist like, don't open the door because she has no helmet on.
00:59:45.599 -->
00:59:48.239He turned the handle, opened the hatch, quickly swinging in.
00:59:48.320 -->
00:59:51.440The astronaut plopped down beside her and removed his helmet.
00:59:51.599 -->
00:59:53.519And I love when it opens the door, it's just silent.
00:59:53.760 -->
00:59:56.079It's just like, what the fuck, George Cleary?
00:59:56.480 -->
00:59:57.119You killed her.
00:59:57.199 -->
00:59:57.920And then you see her alive.
00:59:58.000 -->
01:00:00.320You're like, oh, this is obviously a hallucination.
01:00:01.039 -->
01:00:02.320Um, it's Matt.
01:00:02.400 -->
01:00:10.239He grinned broadly and reactivating the oxygen flow to the cabin and told her to that he beat the spacewalk record.
01:00:10.400 -->
01:00:13.039Ryan asked him how he managed to get back to her.
01:00:13.119 -->
01:00:19.440And Matt explained, having tinkered around with a propulsion pack, he managed to get a few more bursts out of it to guide him back to her safely.
01:00:19.679 -->
01:00:27.599And dude, just when George Clooney gets in there and he like puts on a shit eating grin, he's like, Hey, I have a bunch of quippy remarks here.
01:00:27.760 -->
01:00:29.679And it's just like everything's gonna be okay.
01:00:29.840 -->
01:00:31.840We're good, thank God.
01:00:32.239 -->
01:00:36.000Already felt pretty safe with Sandra, but she was having a mental breakdown.
01:00:36.480 -->
01:00:42.159So we really needed some some guy to come in and tell her, hey, Toots, everything's gonna be all right.
01:00:44.239 -->
01:00:56.320Uh so um she tells him that the fuel was all gone, but he pointed out that the capsule had re-entry rockets for landing because she's like, There's nothing we can do.
01:00:56.400 -->
01:00:58.079It's like there's always something you can do.
01:00:58.400 -->
01:01:02.400It's like you gotta have that mindset, of course, going being an astronaut in space.
01:01:02.639 -->
01:01:05.760Told her that she could pilot her way to the station that way.
01:01:06.079 -->
01:01:07.760Landing is launching, yeah.
01:01:08.000 -->
01:01:21.679Um, the landing, because like we'll see in a second that once it gets to like three meters away, it like you know, it's deploys deploys like a very small like blast, so it'd just be like poof.
01:01:22.079 -->
01:01:32.480Um so Matt looks over everything and realizes that she was trying to kill herself, telling her that losing a daughter made everything harder, but that was not a reason to want to die.
01:01:32.559 -->
01:01:40.559He conceded that if she really wanted to give up, all of what she had to do was to stay there, uh, shutting the airflow down once more.
01:01:40.719 -->
01:01:43.920Delirious from hypoxia and barely able to speak.
01:01:44.079 -->
01:01:52.639Ryan asked him how he got there, and he told tells her that it was a hell of a story before telling Ryan that it was time to go home.
01:01:52.800 -->
01:01:57.440She turned around to look at Matt, only to see that he was gone, revealing that he's hallucination.
01:01:57.840 -->
01:02:02.000We also said, like, I I can see why you want to stay out here.
01:02:02.079 -->
01:02:02.639It's safe.
01:02:02.880 -->
01:02:03.199Yeah.
01:02:03.599 -->
01:02:04.880Like, apart from everyone.
01:02:05.039 -->
01:02:07.760I mean, technically, this is everything she wanted, just quiet time.
01:02:08.079 -->
01:02:10.719Quietness and feeling safe.
01:02:11.280 -->
01:02:12.400But she'll die.
01:02:12.639 -->
01:02:13.280Yeah.
01:02:13.679 -->
01:02:16.079Ugh, dang, only one downside.
01:02:16.800 -->
01:02:21.760So Ryan gasps back to consciousness, realizing that she still she was still alone.
01:02:21.840 -->
01:02:40.239She reactivated the airflow to the cabin, and as the oxygen levels rise, she begins to recover, remembering what her subconscious was trying to tell her by maintaining Matt, by manifesting Matt, that the re-entry rockets ran on a separate field tank and she can still make it to Tian Gong with renewed determination.
01:02:40.400 -->
01:02:47.199She fires the thrusters and shoots off towards the Chinese stations on momentum and asks Matt to tell her daughter that she loves her.
01:02:47.440 -->
01:02:48.559Oh no, that's sweet.
01:02:48.719 -->
01:02:51.440So it's like she kind of finally is moving on.
01:02:51.599 -->
01:02:51.920Yeah.
01:02:52.000 -->
01:02:54.880It's like and ready to like save herself and live.
01:02:55.119 -->
01:03:02.639It's like she just needed like that one part deep back in her mind, telling her, you don't want this to come out.
01:03:02.880 -->
01:03:04.960It's like all you had to do is just choke yourself a little bit.
01:03:06.559 -->
01:03:11.280I I feel like GC needs to be on standby for every every woman in America.
01:03:11.599 -->
01:03:13.039From now on, call them GC.
01:03:15.119 -->
01:03:22.000Um, my immediate thought whenever I see her like turn on the uh landing rockets was that's going too fast.
01:03:22.079 -->
01:03:23.920That's good, that's a missile now.
01:03:24.239 -->
01:03:27.679Yeah, she probably couldn't control how fast they were they came out.
01:03:27.760 -->
01:03:36.639But like it was really cool and interesting to see her like trying to figure it out like how to trick the machine into thinking it was three meters away from landing.
01:03:36.719 -->
01:03:36.880Yeah.
01:03:37.519 -->
01:03:38.400That was so cool.
01:03:38.639 -->
01:03:39.840It's a very smart movie.
01:03:40.159 -->
01:03:40.559I know.
01:03:41.039 -->
01:03:44.079And it's smart, short, and just beautiful.
01:03:44.239 -->
01:03:44.880Yeah.
01:03:45.280 -->
01:03:51.840So as the capsule flies forward, Ryan sees that the station was greatly damaged by the debris and was sinking into the atmosphere.
01:03:52.159 -->
01:04:08.639Ryan also noticed that she will be she will miss the station by several meters, retrieving the fire extinguisher that she used to fight the fire on the ISS, she blasts the airlock open and was thrown out into space, using the fire extinguisher to propel herself toward the Chinese space station.
01:04:08.880 -->
01:04:14.480She manages to hang on as it drops faster through the Earth's atmosphere and begins rapid descent.
01:04:14.639 -->
01:04:22.559The debris field reappears in the instance, racing towards her as she began her climb to the airlock while the station began to break apart.
01:04:23.519 -->
01:04:27.440This is the part where I'm like Is it what?
01:04:27.840 -->
01:04:30.559Is how would she be able to catch up to that thing?
01:04:30.719 -->
01:04:33.519Like if it's starting to yeah, I would assume it's speeding up really fast.
01:04:33.599 -->
01:04:42.880If because you can see the force of the wind, and I'm like, she's just like just going ham with a fire extinguisher.
01:04:43.199 -->
01:04:45.760No, I do I do I do love that idea.
01:04:45.920 -->
01:04:48.639It's like I wonder if like in NASA that that's a thing.
01:04:48.719 -->
01:04:54.880It's like, look, if something happens, grab a fire extinguisher and maybe you can float around in space for a while.
01:04:55.519 -->
01:04:57.440That's I mean, sure.
01:04:57.679 -->
01:04:59.599Anything that will give you propulsion.
01:05:00.000 -->
01:05:06.480She even throws it at one point to give her a propulsion towards to help her like grab onto something.
01:05:06.719 -->
01:05:10.000And then when she gets close to it, she's like touching like the solar panels of it.
01:05:10.079 -->
01:05:12.079I'm like, just grab it.
01:05:12.320 -->
01:05:16.800And then when she does finally grab it, it was the shot I remember specifically from the trailer.
01:05:16.880 -->
01:05:19.760Because I was just like, after seeing that shot, I was like, I gotta see this movie.
01:05:20.239 -->
01:05:22.000Even though like I knew the director and everybody in it.
01:05:22.079 -->
01:05:23.519So I was like, well, I'm gonna see it.
01:05:23.760 -->
01:05:24.719But I don't know.
01:05:24.800 -->
01:05:28.719It was it's like, even though it's sometimes the scene kind of feels a little silly.
01:05:28.800 -->
01:05:31.599I'm like, I'm still kind of doing that holding my breath type thing.
01:05:31.920 -->
01:05:34.320Yeah, because you like you want her to live.
01:05:34.480 -->
01:05:38.880And then like seeing the god dang debris come back, it's like, do you got nothing better to do?
01:05:39.360 -->
01:05:42.320Never go somewhere, Debris.
01:05:42.880 -->
01:05:44.559Just constantly in danger.
01:05:44.719 -->
01:05:45.199I love it.
01:05:45.360 -->
01:05:45.679Yeah.
01:05:45.840 -->
01:05:46.400Ugh.
01:05:46.639 -->
01:05:51.119It's like after you survive this, you're just like, I don't think I can die.
01:05:52.960 -->
01:05:57.199Which will be a subplot in Fast Nine.
01:05:58.639 -->
01:05:59.760With Tyrese's character.
01:06:01.519 -->
01:06:06.639Because there's a point in those movies where like someone's like shooting at him and the bullets go all around him.
01:06:06.719 -->
01:06:08.800It's like, I don't think we can die.
01:06:09.199 -->
01:06:13.679And like the whole movie's like, think about when we did all this stuff and we never died.
01:06:13.760 -->
01:06:14.880I think we're invincible.
01:06:15.199 -->
01:06:16.159Oh hell yeah.
01:06:16.400 -->
01:06:23.440So the debris strikes slams into the Chinese space station, shredding it and rapidly forcing the station out of its orbit toward re-entry.
01:06:23.599 -->
01:06:29.199Ryan climbs into this airlock, determined to reach the Shinzhou, Xin Zhao.
01:06:29.519 -->
01:06:35.519Uh she reached the capsule in time just as the station started plummeting the upper atmosphere.
01:06:35.679 -->
01:06:38.719Um they're like 150 kilometers above Earth or something.
01:06:38.880 -->
01:06:44.960Stone struggles to make sense of the symbols, pressing random buttons to see if she could initialize the re-entry protocol.
01:06:45.119 -->
01:07:08.400Luckily, because um the new capsule is pretty much the same as the other capsule, she was able to piece together what she needed to allow uh her capsule to disengage its locks and undock from the surrounding Tian Gong as what was left of it hurled through Earth's atmosphere above the planet, and I think it's going like 25,000 feet per second.
01:07:08.559 -->
01:07:09.440So yeah, really fat.
01:07:09.679 -->
01:07:13.039She communicates to Houston over the radio that she had a newfound will to live.
01:07:13.199 -->
01:07:16.239Whether she lived or died, she was ready for whatever came her way.
01:07:16.480 -->
01:07:17.679It's gonna be a hell of a ride.
01:07:17.840 -->
01:07:19.599Either way, it'll be a hell of a ride.
01:07:20.159 -->
01:07:21.119Yeah, man.
01:07:21.599 -->
01:07:22.880But yeah, I love the idea.
01:07:22.960 -->
01:07:25.199It's like, oh, this is pretty much the same as the other capsule.
01:07:26.480 -->
01:07:26.800Yeah.
01:07:27.039 -->
01:07:29.280I wonder if they do that on purpose, you know?
01:07:29.440 -->
01:07:43.360Just I would think I would I would probably assume that whatever company makes rockets is probably maybe they all got together and were like, what if there's a situation in which another pilot from a different country needs to operate your machine?
01:07:43.440 -->
01:07:43.599Yeah.
01:07:43.840 -->
01:07:47.199And then they're like, we should just make all the everything the exact same.
01:07:47.360 -->
01:07:47.599Yeah.
01:07:48.079 -->
01:07:48.639Just in case.
01:07:48.880 -->
01:07:54.159Is wasn't it like they all eventually just started copying each other?
01:07:54.400 -->
01:08:00.559Like once once one figured it out, they like somehow figured out how they did it, and then they all would just do the same thing at the same time.
01:08:02.159 -->
01:08:02.480Yeah.
01:08:03.039 -->
01:08:06.880That is true, especially once they've all eventually started working together up there.
01:08:07.840 -->
01:08:08.079Yeah.
01:08:08.320 -->
01:08:11.840That's the whole point of international space stations, I think.
01:08:13.199 -->
01:08:14.559Oh, is that what that means?
01:08:15.599 -->
01:08:22.079So um the capsule explodes forward, taking the lead of the debris field.
01:08:22.800 -->
01:08:23.760A fucking ride.
01:08:24.000 -->
01:08:24.239I know.
01:08:24.399 -->
01:08:25.920Like one going through the atmosphere.
01:08:26.319 -->
01:08:27.439Yeah, and just all launched.
01:08:27.760 -->
01:08:30.800All everything's like red hot, all the debris on fire.
01:08:31.279 -->
01:08:32.159Spinning out of control.
01:08:32.479 -->
01:08:34.079One like hits her little capsule.
01:08:34.479 -->
01:08:39.279Yeah, then like kind of it kind of like evens out and she's just like rocketing down.
01:08:39.600 -->
01:08:40.079It's increasing.
01:08:43.760 -->
01:08:53.920So Ryan closes her eyes and puts the helmet to her spacesuit on as the space station continues to break apart when the gravity took hold and dragged it to the Earth's lower atmosphere.
01:08:54.159 -->
01:09:04.000Um, luckily the parachute was activated to her capsule above the surface, slowing the capsule and allowing to land gently in some water in the American Southwest.
01:09:04.239 -->
01:09:05.439Capsule is hit.
01:09:05.760 -->
01:09:12.720The capsule hits the water and floated for a moment with the radio crackling to life as Houston was finally able to make contact, promising a rescue.
01:09:12.880 -->
01:09:19.039However, an electrical fire broke out, forcing Ryan to escape the capsule immediately.
01:09:19.199 -->
01:09:24.239She ejected the hatch and the capsule rapidly filled with water and struggling to breathe.
01:09:24.399 -->
01:09:30.880For a moment, it seems like she would uh drown, and the weight of the capsule and parachute quickly dragged her to the bottom.
01:09:31.119 -->
01:09:36.800Ryan tries to swim to the surface, but the uh I guess the spacesuits are like 80 pounds.
01:09:36.880 -->
01:09:37.039Yeah.
01:09:37.199 -->
01:09:38.479Uh pinned her to the bottom.
01:09:38.720 -->
01:09:44.000She was forced to frantically take off the suit and desperately fight to the surface.
01:09:44.239 -->
01:09:45.840It's like, are you serious?
01:09:46.079 -->
01:09:46.399I know.
01:09:46.720 -->
01:09:54.479It's like if you made it back and it's like get to earth and you drown, it's like, you know, your first thought is like, fuck off.
01:09:54.960 -->
01:09:56.079Fuck you, gravity.
01:09:56.239 -->
01:09:58.960Like I could have just died looking at the earth, now I gotta die this.
01:09:59.359 -->
01:10:04.159And even after she got the suit off, I was still worried because this movie keeps you in constant.
01:10:04.640 -->
01:10:07.840Yeah, because you see her swimming in the parachutes coming down.
01:10:08.079 -->
01:10:09.760Yeah, and then also the kelp.
01:10:09.840 -->
01:10:11.760Like, yeah, is she gonna get strangled in the kelp?
01:10:11.920 -->
01:10:16.399And there's like a frog grabbing her foot, trying to pull her back down, like hey, come again, baby.
01:10:18.399 -->
01:10:24.880Which I'm just saying that there is uh obviously a metaphor with a frog and her climbing out of the water and learning to walk.
01:10:25.199 -->
01:10:29.359Oh yeah, cool, evolution, yeah, noise.
01:10:29.600 -->
01:10:40.800So Ryan burst out of the water and floated onto the surface, taking a moment to catch her breath when she saw the remaining debris, the space station completing its own re-entry and burning across the sky.
01:10:40.960 -->
01:10:42.880Man, what a day to be outside looking up.
01:10:43.119 -->
01:10:50.479I know it's like that scene from uh Robin Hood when he gets to land and he just like roll rolls around and kisses it.
01:10:50.960 -->
01:10:53.279Yeah, and I'm like, dude, you're getting sand in all your clothes.
01:10:53.520 -->
01:10:54.479Chill out, bro.
01:10:55.840 -->
01:11:01.680Probably like you know, out of all the movies we did, like I think about that movie the most that we've done this year.
01:11:02.000 -->
01:11:04.239Yeah, it's like I really love that movie.
01:11:04.479 -->
01:11:05.439This is so good.
01:11:05.840 -->
01:11:17.680So Ryan able to swim to shore where she claps momentarily on the beach, laughing and gripping the sand in her hands, happy to be on land again, forcing her herself to stand and walk, to wait rescue.
01:11:17.840 -->
01:11:27.520She takes a look, uh, she takes her first shaky steps on dry land, acclimating herself to existing in the earth's gravity.
01:11:27.760 -->
01:11:28.399Yes.
01:11:30.399 -->
01:11:31.520Let's go.
01:11:32.399 -->
01:11:37.119I mean, just it's not just a good action movie.
01:11:37.279 -->
01:11:39.600It's like hey uh, yeah, I don't know.
01:11:39.680 -->
01:11:44.560You were supposed to be back yesterday, you already missed a shift at the hospital, you're out of it.
01:11:46.720 -->
01:11:51.359But like what I really love about this movie is that like it's a great action ride.
01:11:51.439 -->
01:11:59.600Yeah, but then by the end of it, you're just like all these like metaphorical things like came up, and you're just like, I feel good too, yeah.
01:11:59.760 -->
01:12:02.800Emotionally, it's like anybody can get through anything.
01:12:03.039 -->
01:12:04.640Just really what tops this movie.
01:12:04.880 -->
01:12:07.039That's yeah, it was an incredible ride.
01:12:07.199 -->
01:12:08.079I loved it.
01:12:08.479 -->
01:12:11.439So uh let's get to the point of the movie.
01:12:11.760 -->
01:12:15.119Uh I kind of put it's it's a movie about being born again.
01:12:15.279 -->
01:12:17.760Like yeah, kind of like emotionally, I guess.
01:12:17.920 -->
01:12:18.079Sure.
01:12:18.239 -->
01:12:21.119Ron was pretty much dead inside, and the experience gave her life again.
01:12:21.279 -->
01:12:24.720It's ultimately a metaphor for overcoming grief and isolation after a loss.
01:12:25.039 -->
01:12:32.640Yeah, I think it was not only just overcoming grief, but also perfect um just like depression and personal loss.
01:12:33.439 -->
01:12:33.680Yeah.
01:12:34.239 -->
01:12:34.560Yeah.
01:12:35.039 -->
01:12:35.840Yeah, for sure.
01:12:36.640 -->
01:12:41.279You know, I've never really been depressed, but like, you know, I've always heard this like just lonely.
01:12:41.600 -->
01:12:43.520Just makes you feel like you're alone all the time.
01:12:44.079 -->
01:12:53.760It makes you want to be alone, and then when you even when you're alone, you're still not you're still kind of you still don't it still doesn't help.
01:12:53.920 -->
01:12:54.159Yeah.
01:12:54.399 -->
01:12:55.600Being alone it makes it worse.
01:12:55.760 -->
01:12:56.560Yeah, it does make it worse.
01:12:56.720 -->
01:13:02.399It's like you have to like force yourself into uh going to space and being in a giant disaster to get out of it.
01:13:03.039 -->
01:13:03.600Which is crazy.
01:13:05.039 -->
01:13:07.359It's like people will do anything not to go to therapy.
01:13:07.840 -->
01:13:09.119I love therapy.
01:13:09.359 -->
01:13:10.960I love my therapist now.
01:13:11.520 -->
01:13:11.920Yeah.
01:13:12.159 -->
01:13:14.319I should probably get I should probably go to therapy once.
01:13:14.399 -->
01:13:14.479Yeah.
01:13:14.800 -->
01:13:16.560I just feel like I'm so well adjusted.
01:13:16.800 -->
01:13:17.119Yeah.
01:13:19.680 -->
01:13:20.319Are we all?
01:13:21.119 -->
01:13:22.399All right, let's hit our categories.
01:13:22.479 -->
01:13:23.840The good, the bad, the ugly, the fine.
01:13:24.000 -->
01:13:30.640But we discussed the film, something we liked, the bad, something we didn't like, the ugly, something that didn't age well, the fine, something that did age well.
01:13:30.800 -->
01:13:33.039For the good, I mean like everything.
01:13:33.359 -->
01:13:33.920Yeah.
01:13:34.640 -->
01:13:35.920Sandra Bullock is amazing.
01:13:36.159 -->
01:13:39.920Just from start to finish, it's just like a fucking roller coaster of the street.
01:13:40.079 -->
01:13:54.000Yeah, it immediately from immediate silence, it's just like this feels better than it just you can usually in a movie tell within five minutes whether a movie's gonna be good or not, or even be worth your watching.
01:13:54.159 -->
01:14:00.479Um, and it's just like as soon as I saw it, I was like, whoa, just the camera motion, the visuals, I was like, this is gonna be good.
01:14:00.640 -->
01:14:03.600I mean, this would really have to fuck up to be bad.
01:14:03.840 -->
01:14:12.560I mean, and I think the element of them using like, you know, more realistic, you know, like facts about space, like really helps it and doesn't make it silly.
01:14:12.800 -->
01:14:15.680It's silly, but not overly silly.
01:14:15.840 -->
01:14:23.680You know, I mean, the them constantly grabbing at shit and slamming into things, I'm just like, that's a little silly, but it also fucking rolls.
01:14:23.840 -->
01:14:24.399Yeah, it does, really.
01:14:29.359 -->
01:14:29.600Yeah.
01:14:29.840 -->
01:14:32.399Unless you have like the technology to do so.
01:14:32.640 -->
01:14:33.920Yeah, and you know, who knows?
01:14:34.000 -->
01:14:35.600Maybe those suits are way tougher than I'm gonna do.
01:14:35.760 -->
01:14:36.960They're like super cumbersome.
01:14:37.359 -->
01:14:37.600Yeah.
01:14:37.760 -->
01:14:41.680I know every time they're like trying to grab something, I'm like, just use your hands and arms better.
01:14:41.760 -->
01:14:48.239I'm like, and then I think like every time it snows, and I put like, you know, the big gloves on, I'm like, I can't grab anything.
01:14:48.399 -->
01:14:50.079And they're sitting there like flailing.
01:14:50.319 -->
01:14:51.199It's crazy.
01:14:51.359 -->
01:14:52.399It's so good.
01:14:52.640 -->
01:14:57.199Um, and Alfonso Cron's like one of our best directors, and I wish he'd do more movies.
01:14:57.359 -->
01:15:02.159Um you got any like I don't even know what his next movie is.
01:15:02.399 -->
01:15:03.920I guess he's got three upcoming.
01:15:07.039 -->
01:15:09.520Um for the bad, I got another.
01:15:09.840 -->
01:15:10.399It's a good movie.
01:15:10.640 -->
01:15:13.760Yeah, I didn't think there wasn't really anything bad about it.
01:15:14.079 -->
01:15:19.119And for the ugly, I mean I really didn't have anything for the ugly either.
01:15:20.479 -->
01:15:20.720No.
01:15:21.920 -->
01:15:52.079I uh I think what will be my fine is, you know, to counteract and ugly, I guess, would be like the the loneliness of space and the helplessness of being um going into like being a from Earth and going into space and it's just so different that you really have when everything you rely on goes to shit, you're really fucked.
01:15:52.399 -->
01:15:52.720Yeah.
01:15:52.880 -->
01:15:55.199And that really ages well for me.
01:15:55.439 -->
01:15:56.079Yeah.
01:15:57.039 -->
01:16:04.880Well, I guess to kind of go off that for something that aged well for me is it's like, you know, blockbuster action movie with a soul.
01:16:05.119 -->
01:16:05.520Yeah, man.
01:16:05.760 -->
01:16:09.920Or it's just like thought-provoking big budget action movie, right?
01:16:10.079 -->
01:16:11.920Even though I think this I don't know.
01:16:12.000 -->
01:16:13.119I mean, this is an action movie.
01:16:13.279 -->
01:16:14.640Yeah, action all the time.
01:16:14.880 -->
01:16:25.680It's just like thinking about it, and it's like, man, we really don't get a lot of big budget movies like this that make you like, hmm, let me ponder about existence and like mental health and things like that.
01:16:25.840 -->
01:16:27.520And it's just yeah, I don't know.
01:16:27.600 -->
01:16:30.079It's nice that to see smart cinema.
01:16:30.319 -->
01:16:30.880I don't know.
01:16:31.039 -->
01:16:34.000It seems like far and few between these days.
01:16:34.399 -->
01:16:41.199I have to I had to go to the doctor to have them surgically unclinch my anus after this movie was over.
01:16:41.439 -->
01:16:48.640Yeah, and like I have to like rub this, like I've got a cream, cream on it, and it's like, you have a wife.
01:16:48.720 -->
01:16:50.960Why do you keep coming over every day?
01:16:51.279 -->
01:16:52.399Making me do it.
01:16:52.640 -->
01:16:53.039Jeez.
01:16:54.159 -->
01:16:56.960It's like you should shave back here if you're gonna have me look at it.
01:16:59.520 -->
01:17:05.920All right, we're gonna hit but our next category, double feature, which is where we recommend a movie to go alongside this movie.
01:17:06.159 -->
01:17:07.520I don't know why I said it like that.
01:17:07.760 -->
01:17:13.279I picked a movie called Ad Astra with Brad Pitt in it.
01:17:13.439 -->
01:17:20.720An astronaut embarks on a space mission to investigate a threat to the universe and uncover the truth about his father who disappeared 30 years ago.
01:17:20.960 -->
01:17:24.960There is an and car chase on the moon.
01:17:25.119 -->
01:17:25.760Yes.
01:17:26.319 -->
01:17:27.920And it's you know very similar to the case.
01:17:30.239 -->
01:17:32.159It takes like space seriously.
01:17:32.239 -->
01:17:41.920So, you know, it's like a realistic, like, hey, if there's gonna be two cars driving and shooting at each other on the moon, it's gonna look like they got like neon lights on the cars and stuff.
01:17:42.159 -->
01:17:45.600And um, it's it's a movie about daddy issues.
01:17:45.760 -->
01:17:45.920Nice.
01:17:46.239 -->
01:17:58.159So you know it's uh it's similar to kind of this movie where it's just like uh it's like a good, it's less of a blockbuster, I would say, but it's just like oh, a cool movie with good action scenes and something to say.
01:17:58.479 -->
01:17:59.119And it's just fun.
01:17:59.359 -->
01:18:01.680Uh James Gray is the director.
01:18:02.000 -->
01:18:02.960Ad Astra.
01:18:03.359 -->
01:18:06.399And he um, well, I don't know.
01:18:06.479 -->
01:18:07.840He he's in some good movies.
01:18:07.920 -->
01:18:09.199I don't know if you've seen any of them.
01:18:09.279 -->
01:18:15.119Like uh The Immigrant, We Own the Night, Two Lovers, The Lost City of Z.
01:18:15.439 -->
01:18:16.720Um, never seen him.
01:18:16.960 -->
01:18:23.680And like his he was nominated, uh, I think his movie is nominated Armageddon Time for like best director and best picture.
01:18:24.079 -->
01:18:26.880Um I haven't seen that one yet, but I hear it's really good.
01:18:27.119 -->
01:18:27.439Nice.
01:18:27.680 -->
01:18:28.640So yeah.
01:18:29.359 -->
01:18:32.880Ad Astra makes me this movie made me really want to watch it.
01:18:33.119 -->
01:18:33.760Oh, it's so good.
01:18:33.840 -->
01:18:36.079It's all in theaters beautiful cried at the end.
01:18:37.279 -->
01:18:37.680That's awesome.
01:18:38.159 -->
01:18:39.520Every male has daddy issues.
01:18:40.000 -->
01:18:44.640Well, no, I guess mine my double feature is obviously uh Apollo 13.
01:18:45.039 -->
01:18:53.359And I really love it because uh they got the all these astronauts in a really horrible situation where they think they're gonna die.
01:18:53.600 -->
01:18:57.039And I think George Clooney's character is a lot like Tom Hanks's.
01:18:57.279 -->
01:18:58.640He keeps everybody calm.
01:18:58.880 -->
01:18:59.039Yeah.
01:19:01.119 -->
01:19:02.720Yeah, because Tom Hanks is our dad.
01:19:03.039 -->
01:19:03.199Yeah.
01:19:03.600 -->
01:19:04.479He's everybody's dad.
01:19:06.079 -->
01:19:16.159But I I just love like how they have to deal with the the failing of all their the technology, right?
01:19:16.720 -->
01:19:25.600And they're still in communication with Earth, but like they have to find new way new solutions to problems that they're they've never had before.
01:19:26.319 -->
01:19:33.680And it's just a really like fun movie, and I don't know.
01:19:34.319 -->
01:19:36.239It's I miss it.
01:19:36.479 -->
01:19:37.600It's been so long since I've seen it.
01:19:38.319 -->
01:19:40.800It's on Netflix, you can go home and watch it right now, baby.
01:19:41.119 -->
01:19:45.840Yeah, I've only actually seen that movie I think I've well, I think I've probably seen it twice.
01:19:46.000 -->
01:19:47.039Saw it as a kid, I'm sure.
01:19:47.119 -->
01:19:48.640It was always on TNT or something.
01:19:48.800 -->
01:19:49.039Yeah.
01:19:49.359 -->
01:19:53.600But like Natalie loves that movie, and we watched it, and I was like, holy shit, this movie rules.
01:19:54.159 -->
01:19:56.479So I I kind of just want to watch the bass movies now.
01:19:56.560 -->
01:19:56.800Yeah.
01:19:56.960 -->
01:20:02.159It's not the mindset I need to be in with Halloween on the like around the corner.
01:20:02.399 -->
01:20:06.479Um, so that is our conclusion to the masterpiece gravity.
01:20:06.640 -->
01:20:13.039Um, join us next week because it's our last movie before Halloween season starts for us.
01:20:13.279 -->

01:21:20.479We just usually have a party here.
01:21:20.560 -->
01:21:24.239I guess I dressed up last year as ghost face, but that's easy peasy to do.
01:21:25.840 -->
01:21:28.479My favorite costume I've ever done was the Invisible Man.
01:21:28.800 -->
01:21:29.199Nice.
01:21:29.359 -->
01:21:33.920Uh just like I had like this leather jacket and some blue jeans and of course taped up my face.
01:21:34.159 -->
01:21:41.439Um, and then we went to a party, a party where I didn't know anybody at really there, um, other than like the friends we went with.
01:21:41.520 -->
01:21:43.920And I just walked in, I was like, nobody knows what I look like.

01:21:45.439This is awesome.
01:21:45.680 -->
01:21:49.199Then I went to the bathroom, undid it, and then came back out later.
01:21:49.279 -->
01:21:53.439And I was like, I wish I'd changed my like clothes completely because that'd be funny.
