Woman in the Moon (1929) / Ad Astra (2019) ft. Andrew Milne - Long and gray

Friend, fellow critic, and science fiction author Andrew Milne returns to The Goods to discuss two movies about travel to the moon -- the Fritz Lang silent film Woman in the Moon and the James Gray epic Ad Astra. Join as they discuss the romantic pull of space travel, German Expressionism as a mirror of Weimar Republic societal values, Fritz Lang's serial-related pacing issues, the tussle between the exotic and the familiar in depicting novel concepts, James Gray's strange career and reputation, and the weird moodiness and drone of Brad Pitt's narration.
