Once We Were Spacemen

In this episode, we learn just how close Alan came to spending time in a military prison. Spoiler, it was close. It was very close.

Meanwhile, Nathan’s home seems to be conspiring against him. From critters (living and dead) to rogue appliances, it’s one battle after another. Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn absolutely nothing.

Bruce Campbell got his start hauling cable and holding cue cards in Detroit, back when the likes of Frank Sinatra were shooting car commercials as a favor to a friend. Decades later, he can tell you which lens is best suited for handsome actors, how voices get ruined in the mix, and why he no longer touches his watch on set. He's also one of the few actors who can talk back to Sam Raimi.

His new film, Ernie & Emma, is what Bruce calls "a return to truly independent filmmaking." He's bringing it to Alamo Drafthouse theaters nationwide through November 14. Tickets at Drafthouse.com.

Alan Tudyk has been cemented as a Disney Legend, complete with a letter from a former Disney CEO… no, the other one. He wrote three acceptance speeches for the ceremony. The two that were cut for reasons of self-preservation get performed here instead.

Before Nathan and Alan ever set foot on a spaceship, Loni Peristere had to build the thing… that thing being Serenity. As Firefly's visual effects supervisor and co-founder of Zoic Studios, Loni has spent years chasing the gap between a shot that looked cool and a shot audiences would actually believe. That instinct carried him into an Emmy-winning career that now has him serving as a director and executive producer on House of the Dragon.

Loni sits back down with the guys he first got to know on the set of Firefly, and even owns up to the joke he once played on Joss Whedon.

Once We Were Spacemen was only ever supposed to run sixteen episodes.

In this episode, they run back all the bits and segments that have gotten them to Episode 43.
