In this episode we discuss the 1995 film Apollo 13, Tom Hanks’ involvement in the film and lifelong interest in space and the Apollo era of NASA space exploration, and the extensive lengths that Ron Howard, Hanks, and the whole team went through to make this film a reality. We also discuss Emma Thompson’s career, from burgeoning comedienne to two time Academy Award winner, her creative and marital partnership with Kenneth Branaugh, and her endearing Academy Award winning adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.
