Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema – from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan, Elisabeth and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.
STARMAN
An alien answers a NASA message and comes to Earth in peace, but his ship is shot down by the military. Stranded, he takes the form of a dead man and forces the man’s widow to drive him to Arizona so he can meet a rescue ship. As the government hunts them down, the two form an unexpected bond.
Craig, Elisabeth and guest Steve and Izzy talk about aliens on earth, road trips, Ape-ril and the movie “Starman” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
