Houston, We Have Opinions

This week, we’re going to space.With Artemis II laying groundwork to send humans to the Moon again, we figured it was the perfect time to dive into one of our favorite movie categories… space movies.From scientifically accurate survival stories to completely unrealistic explosions in zero gravity, we break down what makes a space movie great, what makes them ridiculous, and which ones actually hold up.Along the way, we talk through some of the biggest titles in the genre, debate realism vs entertainment, and probably overreact to a few scenes that would never happen in real life.Then, of course, we draft and battle it out to determine the BEST space movie of all time… and see if it has what it takes to take down our current champion.If you’ve ever wondered how long you’d survive in space, or just love a good movie debate, this one’s for you.CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro04:46 - Did we Land on the Moon?08:08 - The Thing About Space Movies10:37 - Interstellar14:31 - Star Wars18:04 - The Martian20:09 - 2001 A Space Odyssey23:16 - Galaxy Quest24:51 - Armageddon 27:24 - More Space Movies35:27 - We Make Our Picks38:07 - Space Movies Tournament42:54 - Best Things BattleCheck out our website bestthingspod.com!Find us on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook @bestthingspod.Wanna watch us?
