The Oscars are a week and a half away! To celebrate, we're talking about 2004's Thunderbirds – a movie made because it was important to Brits a couple of decades ago but had no commercial success in America because no one knew about it. Sound familiar? And believe it or not, this movie doesn't connect to Better Man , but rather another 2024 movie: The Brutalist . That's right – the child actor who starred in this movie was the creator of one of this year's biggest awards...
