Project Hail Mary and Other Space Movies

from Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast · host COTC Team

The release of Project Hail Mary and near simultaneous launch of Artemis II make this an opportune time to explore space movies. For some of us, the term space movies is a misnomer, since they often encompass movies where the alien activity is earthbound. Think Predator, Independence Day, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. What is your favorite “space” movie and how do you define this subgenre? Join us on the Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast as we talk about the appeal of celestial cinema. Send us a comment to let us know your favorite space movie. For future updates, subscribe to our podcast wherever you listen, and for email updates on all things COTC, subscribe to our website using the link below: https://www.cupofteacritiques.com/subscribe  Brody, David Sky.
