The Winchester Brothers’ Journey Comes To A Close As Long-Running CW Hit Ends. By Jeff Pfeiffer

For a long time, whenever The CW President Mark Pedowitz would be asked at Television Critics Association press tour conferences whether his network’s seemingly eternal hit drama Supernatural had plans to conclude, Pedowitz would usually offer a response to the effect of, “When they are ready to stop, we will stop.” By “they,” he was referring to Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who portray the series’ core characters Sam and Dean Winchester. There were many years of this response before the inevitable finally happened last year, when the stars and The CW did decide that it was time to bring Supernatural to a close. Passionate fans got a little reprieve from having to say goodbye when the pandemic shut down production on the hit horror/fantasy/drama’s final few episodes, which were originally planned to air this past spring. Now, after 15 seasons, Supernatural will air its final episode this month (Nov. 19). A cornerstone program for The CW over the past

decade and a half, Supernatural actually predates its longtime home — its first season, in 2005-06, aired on the now defunct The WB before that network was combined with UPN to form The CW in 2006. The CW will move on, of course, as will Supernatural’s stars. Padalecki's next project is in just a few months, when he will return to The CW to headline the new series Walker, a reimagining of Chuck Norris’ Walker, Texas Ranger, starting in January. As for Supernatural’s final episode, details are understandably being kept under wraps, but you can be assured that Padalecki and Ackles, and their show’s creative team, will have something to satisfy viewers who have followed the Winchester brothers for 15 years. Prior to watching the boys go off into the sunset, fans can also tune in to an hourlong retrospective special called Supernatural: The Long Road Home, which immediately precedes the finale.

MOONBASE 8 They dream of one day living on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility, but until then, they’ll toil in a ramshackle compound in a sandy crater outside of Winslow, Arizona. In Showtime’s new six-episode comedy Moonbase 8, Robert “Cap” Caputo (John C. Reilly), Dr. Michael “Skip” Henai (Fred Armisen) and Professor Scott “Rook” Sloan (Tim Heidecker) aren’t the physically fit, highly trained, fearless aviators archetypical of NASA’s Gemini or Apollo programs. They’re middle-aged schlubs whose only qualifications for the mission are successfully filling out the application. The trio has been living, working and training in isolation for 200 days in the hope of getting called up for a launch to the moon. They pass the days conducting experiments of questionable scientific merit, performing household duties assigned to them by the chore wheel and eating dehydrated “beef-style stew.” They must put on their spacesuits whenever they exit the base to 4

receive a supply drop or scare off the occasional intruder rummaging through their recycling bin. “Those suits are crazy,” Reilly says. “They look very authentic, and I suppose you could use them for some kind of protection, but really they are costumes. We put these little fans in them, but being out there in the desert was brutal in those things. It actually made me realize the kind of commitment it really takes to live in one of those bases, because I don’t know if you’re familiar, but there’s lots of bases just like that all over.” Say what now? “There’s one in Utah, there’s one in Hawaii,” Reilly says. Sure enough, NASA’s Human Research Program funds bases like the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) to study people and technology in earthbound mimics of extraterrestrial habitats. Although conceived as an absurdist comedy,

Three Nobodies Seek To Slip The Surly Bonds Of Earth. By Ryan A. Berenz

John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker and Fred Armisen

Moonbase 8 took on a strange life-imitating-art turn since the show was ﬁlmed. “The idea of a bunch of guys training for a moon mission seemed like setting the bar very low in a funny way,” Reilly says. “It was so mundane. The moon has already been visited. All the sexy people are talking about Mars. SpaceX is completely talking about Mars. We thought it was really funny that these guys would be satisﬁed with just getting to the moon. But since we made the show, they’ve discovered that there’s probably a good amount of ice on the moon, and suddenly there are at least four different countries that are trying to set up bases on the moon, including us. Both this pandemic quarantine mentality and a new ambition for the moon have come since we made the show, which makes us look like real prophets, but we were just trying to make them look like unambitious people.” With its plastic geodesic dome, greenhouse and

metal shipping container, Moonbase 8 has a decidedly low-budget sci-ﬁ movie appearance, but it might be the Taj Mahal of fake moon habitats. “When you look at the real ones, they’re a lot [crappier] than our set, actually,” Reilly says. “If you’ve ever seen a research station in Antarctica, it just looks like a collection of junk. Our base, even though it does look a little bit ramshackle and it’s not terribly sophisticated, it looks a lot cleaner and welldesigned than most of the actual bases.” And it has a kick-ass moon buggy. “That six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle was so fun to drive! Oh, my God!” Reilly says. “Those were invented probably in the ’60s, and probably were invented to look like something that might go on the moon. But we bought one and painted it up in that nice white paint job. That thing ﬂies, man! A lot of the scenes where I’m doing donuts and driving super recklessly, it wasn’t too far from the truth.” Premieres on Showtime Sunday, Nov. 8 5

REBUILDING PARADISE

Rebuilding Paradise: Credit: Noah Berger

It started as a beautiful fall day in Northern California. It was Nov. 8, 2018, and just two hours north of Sacramento sat the quintessential small town of Paradise, where residents were going about their normal business — kids were at Ron school, shops were open, people were busy at Howard their jobs. But the sky changed. Gusty winds and dry conditions coupled with sparks from a faulty power line ignited what would become the deadliest fire in California history. Director Ron Howard tells the terrifying, heartbreaking, yet hopeful, story of the residents of Paradise in his film Rebuilding Paradise. The first 10 minutes of the film aren’t easy to watch. The scenes play out like a pulse-pounding nightmare (which it was), as Howard uses raw footage shot by residents to take viewers into the heart of the town. “It’s probably the most harrowing sequence that I’ve ever been involved in, as a director,” Howard said. “And you know, I didn’t shoot or stage a frame of it.” As the sky turned black and “all sorts of stuff” started falling out of the sky, calls from residents started to flood emergency lines. Within about two hours the fire spread from 200 acres to 18,000 and engulfed the town. A frantic, massive evacuation left residents with little to no time to escape — many fled with only the clothes on their backs. In the end, 85 died in the fire, 50,000 people were displaced and close to 19,000 structures were burnt to the ground. Howard’s story, however, isn’t one centered solely around the devastation; it’s one that shares the community’s difficult yet inspiring road to recovery. “I’ve never experienced anything like what I witnessed there on the ground,” Howard said about visiting Paradise about 10 days after the fire, a town in which his mother-in-law had lived the last four or five years of her life. “Being surrounded by that level of destruction really does take your breath away, and words, they don’t suffice. And then conversations with the people who’ve just recently been through it are sobering and uncomfortable in the extreme. But one of the things that I found is that many people did want the catharsis of talking about it. They did want to share their videos with us. And when they began to recognize that we didn’t want to make a film just about the crisis, we wanted to make a film about the people and what it was going to require to cope with this, whether it was leaving, staying, rebuilding, whatever it was. … It was really a life experience for me, an eye-opener, and I’m grateful to have had the experience.” Premieres on Nat Geo Sunday, Nov. 8
