Still Watching the Skies: 2026 Summer Bonus Episode "The Wrong Stuff"

It's time once again for our annual summer special, and this year we have The Wrong Stuff. In 1983, Philip Kaufman assembled Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward and others to portray the men with THE RIGHT STUFF. But what happened when Hollywood tried to turn some of those guys into science-fiction and fantasy stars? The answer, apparently, was Nazis fighting demons, the ancient Korean art of dodging bullets, and interspecies alien childbirth. For THE WRONG STUFF, Cody, Robert, and Nat take a look at three adaptations starring alumni of THE RIGHT STUFF⁠ — each of which arrived with at least some hope of bigger things to come.
