Cosmic Journey (1936) & The Odyssey through the Odyssey | Ep.10

This week on Tonight's Second Feature, James & Rhys blast off to the moon as we discuss "Cosmic Journey" (1936), an important stepping stone in the science fiction genre and depiction of space travel on the silver screen. 

Rhys will also take us on another Odyssey journey. Now, close to the release of Nolan's The Odyssey, the boys try to triumph against the odds and attempt to string a mighty bow and arrow of their own.
