This week we strapped into our launch chairs and blasted off back to 1997 to revisit the peak slapstick, zero-gravity absurdity of Disney's RocketMan. We’re talking about Fred Z. Randall’s accidental astronaut journey, zero gravity shenanigans, and a chimpanzee co-pilot who might actually be the smartest crew member on the ship. Does this 90s nostalgia space trip still land with audiences?


To survive the isolation of space we found the ultimate high octane rocket fuel: Voodoo Ranger G-Force IPA from New Belgium Brewing. Clocking in with a high enough alcohol percentage to simulate a real NASA gravity test, we’ll see if this crisp, hoppy pairing helps us stick the landing or causes a total mission failure. We certainly felt the impact from this one...


He's got the whole world in his hands...
