On this episode of The Sci-Fi Film School we review the 2001 space-western/musical The American Astronaut.
Space travel has become a dirty way of life dominated by derelicts, grease monkeys, thieves, and hard-boiled interplanetary traders such as Samuel Curtis, an astronaut from Earth who deals in a rare goods, living or otherwise. His mission begins with the unlikely delivery of a cat to a small outer-belt asteroid saloon where he meets his former dance partner, and renowned interplanetary fruit thief, the Blueberry Pirate. As payment for his delivery of the cat, Curtis receives a homemade cloning device already in the process of creating a creature most rare in this space quadrant... a Real Live Girl. At the suggestion of the Blueberry Pirate, Curtis takes the Real Live Girl to Jupiter where women have long been a mystery. There, he proposes a trade with the owner of Jupiter: the Real Live Girl clone for the Boy Who Actually Saw A Woman's Breast. The Boy Who Actually Saw A Woman's Breast is regarded as royalty on the all-male mining planet of Jupiter because of his unique and exotic experience.
Cory McAbee wrote and starred in it as Samuel Curtis, along with Rocco Sisto as Professor Hess, Gregory Russell Cook at The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman’s Breast, Annie Golden as Cloris and Joshua Taylor as Blueberry Pirate.
The movie was made for between 1 and 2 Million dollars.
The band Billy Nayer Show, helmed by McAbee, wrote and performed the film's soundtrack.
