98 - Movie Deep Dive - The Right Stuff - Pointless Exercise Podcast

With the Bears off fighting their Week 11 bye to a draw, the Pointless Exercise podcast takes advantage of having an actual professional actor, Mike Pusateri, on it to go into a deep dive into one of Mike and Andy's favorite movies, Phillip Kaufman's 1983 classic The Right Stuff. Why should you listen to a two hour podcast about a three and a half hour movie? Because it's a great movie, and the guys lovingly and thoroughly get to the root of what makes so thrilling, heroic and yes, funny. You'll learn stuff about who actually wrote it, who should have been in it, who died, what liberties they took and why Lance Hendrickson, Wally Schirra and Virgil I. Grissom all have a right to be pissed. And, why making it without Chuck Yeager as an important character would have been very, very dumb. It's the only The Right Stuff podcast you'll ever need. Light this candle!
