Back in the Day with John and Jay
Episode 132: Disney's RocketMan (1997) // No, not the Elton John movie...the other one.
We break down this stupid but zany plot, where computer programmer and all-around goofball Fred Randall (played by Harland Williams) finds himself on a mission to Mars, much to the horror of his fellow astronauts. We’ll dive into the film’s slapstick humor, unforgettable one-liners, and the sheer comedic brilliance of Harland Williams, whose physical comedy and quirky charm make this movie a true gem.
Get ready to laugh along with us as we discuss Fred’s wild antics, from his zero-gravity mishaps to his hilariously unexpected ways of solving space problems. We’ll also touch on the film’s feel-good moments, the camaraderie between the characters, and how RocketMan manages to blend heart with humor in a way that’s still entertaining today.
