That's No Moon

     This week we bring 2023 to a close with our most topical episode yet... 

     After Augie Steenbeck and his family arrive for the Junior Stargazers Convention, he is convinced to finally tell his four children about the death of their mother. Soon Midge Campbell, a weary actress, and her daughter occupy the cabin next door as the little roadside destination is full of kids, singing cowboys, and high ranking military personnel. All of which will be dwarfed by a close encounter and the metafictional nature of it all. Wes Anderson's latest feature, Asteroid City.
     The Motherworld has long been a vast monarchist military empire supported by endless conquest and currently fueled by rage over their assassinated royal family. When the all consuming machine reaches the quiet farming planet of Veldt, the garrison left behind will push the people into revolt. Giving former soldier, Kora, only 9 weeks to rally support for the usually peaceful inhabitants. Zach Snyder's first entry in what he hopes to make a sprawling sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon- Part One: A Child of Fire.
     All that and Dave ages, Kevin still feels the holly jolly, Tyler swings manically, and Craig prepares a tearful goodbye for Mr. Beepy. Join us, won't you?
   Episode 341- That's No Moon
