Guess Who's Coming To Dinner came out two years before this takes place (1967) poking fun at the absurdity of these conversations, and yet here we are. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

Judas and the Black Messiah was a victim of COVID, pushed from an August 2020 release to February 2021, when it opened in second against Croods 2. It managed $7.5 million against a $26 million budget, almost exactly one year after COVID broke out. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

Dead Alive/Braindead. I think Peter Jackson's version of 1950s New Zealand is so charming before the zombies show up, in part because it is a model.
Would also be keen on Cemetery Man/Dellamore Dellamorte, even if there are grim implications there. #TrainToBusan #HATM

American audiences might know Ma Dong-seok by his Americanized name Don Lee, under which he played Gilgamesh in The Eternals. #TrainToBusan #HATM

The Goonies was a solid hit in the summer of 1985, opening in second place against megahit Rambo: First Blood Part II, holding steady from there, grossing $61 million against a $19 million budget. It naturally did great business on home video and cable as well, because of the octopus. #Goonies #HATM

There is a lot of history of international cooperation between space programs; my favorite piece of material culture from those is the Apollo-Soyuz test project patch, which featured Snoopy (NASA's unoffical mascot) and the Russian bear. #TheMartian #HATM

Leather Goddesses From Phobos is a real game from 1986, designed by Steve Meretzky, notable for including both a choice of player gender (with attendant plot shifts), and a "naughtiness" setting ranging from "tame" to "lewd." It is fun, if more as an artifact. #TheMartian #HATM

To my mind, Matt Damon should have won the Best Actor Oscar for 2015, over Leonardo DiCaprio trying too hard in a perfectly dull Revenant. Damon doesn't get to play off anyone, has limited spaces and bulky costuming, and still manages to make this engaging and endearing. #TheMartian #HATM

The Martian was a contender (not a winner), with seven Oscar nominations - Visual Effects (lost to Ex Machina), Sound Mixing, Editing, and Production Design (Mad Max: Fury Road), Adapted Screenplay (The Big Short), Actor (DiCaprio in The Revenant), and Picture (Spotlight). #TheMartian #HATM

The Martian was a solid hit in the autumn of 2015, opening in first place and holding it for the entire month of October (excepting the release of Goosebumps in week 3) - its budget was relatively low ($108 million), which made its $630 million gross all the sweeter. #TheMartian #HATM
