This week on Reel Chums, we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of Apollo 13, Ron Howard’s masterful retelling of the real-life NASA mission that almost ended in tragedy. Starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, and Ed Harris, Apollo 13 captures the tension, ingenuity, and human resilience behind one of the most dramatic spaceflight events in history.
We discuss the film’s commitment to realism, its quiet emotional core, and how it became one of the most suspenseful space movies ever. We also explore how the film balances technical accuracy with cinematic storytelling, and why it continues to inspire audiences decades later.📹 Follow us on socials for updates and more:Reel Chums Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reelchums/Rubio's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Rubio_tvMarcel's Twitter: https://twitter.com/marztrosityReel Chums Twitter: https://twitter.com/ReelChumsDo you have something to say, a burning question about this, or any other episodes?
