Space: 1969

What if JFK survived Dallas, won the Space Race—and then never stopped?

Welcome to Space: 1969, a gloriously off-the-rails full-cast comedy from Emmy-winning Simpsons writer Bill Oakley, starring Natasha Lyonne.

It’s 1969, and President Kennedy is serving his third term, and is maybe not quite himself—he has pushed America clean off the edge of the Space Age. Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne) is a night nurse on an orbiting space station who hates her job, is sick of space, and wants nothing more than a safe place to smoke a cigarette that won’t blow everyone up.

Then she stumbles into an outer-space conspiracy tangled around President Kennedy, a miserable and long-forgotten estate lawyer named Richard Nixon, and an intergalactic object that could rewrite the course of history. Suddenly Nancy has all the adventure she never wanted and the fate of the Moon Colony, herself, and the entire United States riding on it.

Packed with impressions, absurdist alternate history, and a huge comedic cast, Space: 1969 is retro sci-fi satire that has to be heard to be believed.

Nancy Kranick’s cosmic misadventures continue in Space: 1972 the standalone sequel. Perfect for fans of absurdist comedy sci-fi and full-cast satire like Heads Will Roll.

Available in Dolby Atmos.
