I just got my new subscription of “Texas Highways.”  And there’s a piece in there about Linklater’s new movie (coming out in 2021), called “Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Adventure.” It’s about a boy (largely autobiographical), growing up in the Houston suburbs, in the late ‘60’s.  
The entire movie is shot on green screen.

Interesting, I had no idea.  I’ve always enjoyed Linklater’s mind.

Anyway, if anyone knows more I’d like to hear about it.

Saw this on Netflix. Didn’t know about it until I saw it was on a top ten list of best movies in 2022. 
 

Brings back memories of growing up in 60s and early 70s no matter the location.

Realistic representations of Houston had quite a year with this and Mo.

Thank goodness they didn’t get cute with Mo and try to film it in LA with stock exterior shoots in Houston. It’s a decent show. The subject matter isn’t my favorite, but it feels authentic because they film in Houston. 
 

Linklater’s attention to detail in Apollo 10 1/2 is incredible. I remember getting that Galveston tar shit all over my feet and my dad having to rinse it off with paint thinner.
