If you wanna fly / come and take a ride / take a space ride with the Pod Casty boys, baby! Today we're launching into Eastwood's 2000 old-guys-rule astronaut film SPACE COWBOYS, and boy do we launch. We get into Donald Sutherland, James Garner, and every young boy's favorite adult man circa Y2K, Tommy Lee Jones, as well as the "Whitey on the Moon" of it all, comparisons to THE RIGHT STUFF and APOLLO 13, and whether this might be Clint's most conservative movie since the 80s. Take your protein pills, put your helmet on, and give it a listen!

Topics include: the time we got stuck on Splash Mountain, chimpanzees in space, the opening scene's overdubbing, how the space program is just a higher-budget Jackass, SKYLAB truths, how the space program is just PR, the sort-of cast reunion in AD ASTRA, the fascinating life of Rade Šerbedžija, OSIRIS-REx, N*SYNC, climate "moonshots," and more.
