We\u2019re taking flight this week with the\u00a0\u201cwomen don\u2019t belong in balloons!\u201d heard round the world. In 2019, The Aeronauts\u2019 awards hopes took flight by reuniting\u00a0The Theory of Everything<\/i>\u2019s Oscar winning-and-nominated duo of Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in the quasi-true story of a hot air balloon expedition that launched modern day weather forecasting. The film was originally intended for IMAX and early press promised a stunning visual display and a thrilling adventure for the ages. But when Amazon eventually canceled those IMAX plans and the film\u2019s festival run resulted in lukewarm responses, The Aeronauts was left as a punchline for its unintend silly punchline from its trailer.<\/p>\n

This episode, we look back at the Jones\/Redmayne pairing as an unexpected one to stir a quick prestige reunion and the acting lineups during the year of\u00a0Theory<\/i>. We also discuss the cinematic output of Amazon Prime and their waning awards success since minimizing their theatrical strategy, the film\u2019s divisive visual effects, and hint at what we have coming for our May miniseries.<\/p>\n

Topics also include 1990s hottie Vincent Perez, our love of Himesh Patel in\u00a0Station Eleven<\/i>, and who these really good aeronauts might have bumped into in the sky.<\/p>\n
