Like I, it, it just, it reminds me.
Marcus Harrison GreenHOST
And I think I brought this up before of the, the end of the, this movie Ad Astra and it's with Brad Pitt and Tom Lee Jones.
Marcus Harrison GreenHOST
And for the sake of sparing our listeners, the entire plot, um, So Tommy Lee Jones has spent his entirety of his life looking for alien life, if you will, across the galaxy.
Marcus Harrison GreenHOST
And Brad Pitt's his son, and he finally finds him after he's been missing for so long.
Will CollinsHOST
He makes films like Armageddon Time, which actually were very good.
Will CollinsHOST
I did not like Ad Astra, but apparently neither does he.
Will CollinsHOST
It was one of those films that apparently was an awful experience for him.

I have to admit, I haven't seen Ad Astra, so I don't know.

You're a dad.
Elliott KalanHOST
You're like the perfect target for that.
24 MINS LATER
Elliott KalanHOST
I'm going to put it on there.
Elliott KalanHOST
It's not as good, but it is a movie about people going into space, and it's vaguely realistic.
Elliott KalanHOST
Ad Astra, Stuart, you're making a pretty good case for being an astronaut movie.
Liam HorrobinHOST
Anyway.

Thelma & Louise.
Jay LedbetterHOST
That was 2023.
Jay LedbetterHOST
Other than that, the last thing I remember him was Ad Astra, which he's great in.
Jesse NussmanHOST
He's so good in that.
Jesse NussmanHOST
I mean, I remember breaking down crying in the theater when he is introduced and has that whole back and forth with Brad Pitt.
Joey DaoudHOST
Right after we stop recording, yeah.
Joey DaoudHOST
Literally after we recorded Thursday, and then I keep seeing GPT-6, Astra, all over the place.

Joey DaoudHOST
All right.
Joey DaoudHOST
GPT-6 Astra dropped OpenAI's newest model.
Joey DaoudHOST
It's pretty good.
Joey DaoudHOST
Pretty good.
Justin ManciniHOST
So we've got a few on the horizon from some really big name directors.
Justin ManciniHOST
We've got Paper Tiger, which in addition to being the name of a great Beck song, is the new movie from James Gray, who made My Beloved, The Lost City of Zed and Ad Astra.
Justin ManciniHOST
This stars Miles Teller and Adam Driver and involves the Russian mafia.
Justin ManciniHOST
And that is very much that is very interesting.
JesseHOST
I don't know why I said it like that.
JesseHOST
I picked a movie called Ad Astra with Brad Pitt in it.
JesseHOST
An astronaut embarks on a space mission to investigate a threat to the universe and uncover the truth about his father who disappeared 30 years ago.
JesseHOST
There is an And car chase on the moon.
JesseHOST
It's similar to kind of this movie where it's just like, it's less of a blockbuster, I would say, but it's just like, oh, a cool movie with good action scenes and something to say, and it's just fun.
JesseHOST
James Gray is the director.
JesseHOST
Ad Astra.
JesseHOST
