Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (Netflix)

Netflix’s ‘Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood’ tells the story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969. This tale is told from two interwoven perspectives. One is the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment. The other through the eyes of a kid growing up in Houston, Texas.

This kid has intergalactic dreams of his own. “Taking inspiration from Academy Award-nominated® filmmaker Richard Linklater’s own life, Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood is a snapshot of American life in the 1960s that is part coming of age, part societal commentary, and part out-of-this-world adventure,” states Rotten Tomatoes.

Cast: Milo Coy as Stanley, Glen Powell (‘Set It Up’, ‘Hidden Figures’) as Bostick, Zachary Levi (‘Shazam’, ‘Chuck’) as Kranz, Lee Eddy (‘Mustang Island’) as Mom, Danielle Guilbot as Stephanie, Jack Black (‘School of Rock’, ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’) as adult Stanley, Josh Wiggins (‘Max’) as Steve, and Bill Wise as Dad, among others.
