It wasn't us! Well, maybe it was. This week we're blasting off into outer space with RocketMan (1997). Frank Randall always wanted to be an astronaut, but his often bizarre and quirky personality never did make the cut... At least until he was the only computer technician able to join NASA's first manned mission to Mars. Despite being an underrated and under-promoted piece of the Disney franchise, this movie truly gets to the heart of what it means to be a space hero. Of course, we have to ask: are the wild and zany antics in this plot enough to keep us still laughing today? Or has our sense of humor grown up a little too much? Let’s find out together!
