Thanks for the answer, Rick! The exactness paid off, it made for an immersive narrative approach that I haven’t seen the likes of in many other movies. Very slice-of-life, but not in a way that necessarily drives forward a plot…more just in a way that increasingly builds a believable cinematic atmosphere. A well-done experiment.

Hey there Rick! Apollo 10 1/2 was easily in my top 5 movies of the year, and possibly my favorite Jack Black performance ever. What really made me fall in love with it was the nonlinear plot approach, which just felt like such an authentic reflection on what the 1960’s were like to experience as a child. It felt like a documentary turned inside out. I appreciated all the details like what particular music artists and TV shows the kid enjoyed, and what it was like to visit Astroworld. So my question for you is, what was the process like of narrowing down which cultural details to include? What kind of research did you have to do beforehand, and how did you decide which cultural references would add the most to the movie experience?

And if I may ask, what are your top 5 favorite music albums from the 1960s, if it is even possible to narrow down such a thing?
