Main Topic:

"Moon (2009)" is about solitude, commitment, introspection, and collecting moon rocks to sustain the Earth. Low stakes, right? Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, a lone miner on the moon sending rocks back to Earth for fuel, support by the robot played by Kevin Spacey (😦). In this moody, moony sci-fi pic, you'll be riveted by the potential and absorbed in the ambience of the low-budget set from back in 2009.

Is Sam Rockwell a secret talent? Were you convinced by Sam Bell's relaxed approach to a short timeline? And could you live on the Moon by yourself for three years? Let us know by contacting us at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!
