TPToA Podcast 398 – Mickey 17Description
Mickey 17
The novel this film was based on; Mickey 7 was being written by Edward Ashton, at almost exactly same time as the film back in 2021. Director Bong Joon Ho saw an opportunity and ran with it to create something pertinent, meaningful and as always, very weird… What remains then to answer is why the film version has solidly 10 more Mickeys!? Why do we need SO many more Mickeys?
Robert Pattinson is Mickey 1-17 and in fact Mickey 18 as well… and his life…lives are the subject of this funny, poignant and occasionally silly film Science Fiction film.
The whole team is in here, with Jill 41, Peta 99, Dion X and Quinny -3. With all their accumulated knowledge you’d hope they could say something intelligent here. And you would be right!
Synopsis
Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, this stars Robert Pattinson as an “expendable” – a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong.
