First Parachute Jump / District 9

Thursday Oct 05, 2023

On this episode, Brett tells the story of the first ever modern parachute jump in history. André-Jacques Garnerin is a man few have heard of but is basically the parachuting pioneer for ever skydiver in history. Then Josh deep dives into an emotionally-wrenching but incredibly thought-provoking and action packed science fiction in the apparently sci-fi peak year of 2009. This is a Neil Blomkamp directorial debut (and also a debut for star Sharlto Copley who gives in incredible performance) that you don't want to miss if you love complicated protagonists, scary South African gangs and terrifyingly evil mega-corporations. We are talking about the apartheid alien epic: District 9.
