The Knockturnal attended the LA premiere of Prime Video’s “Good Night Oppy,” a documentary covering the journey of the NASA rover Opportunity, which set out for a 90-day journey on Mars that lasted for a groundbreaking 15 years. Notably, the film highlights the passion, heart, connection, and emotion involved between Opportunity and the earthbound NASA team.
On the red carpet prior to the screening, The Knockturnal spoke with director Ryan White and NASA researcher Abigail Fraeman, one of the starring documentary subjects.
In tune with the extraterrestrial theme, The Culver Theater provided “Good Night Oppy” branded popcorn buckets, along with an assortment of Milky Way and Mars candy bars, and even packets of Space Rocks popping candy.
The passion and pride was almost tangible in the theater as film professionals gathered alongside scientists, researchers, and family members, united over a shared passion and appreciation for the inspiring story and trailblazing mission. “Good Night Oppy” is now playing in select theaters, and will be available to stream on Prime Video on November 23rd.
“The English” is an action Western, with meaningful, historical context, and conversations within the story.
Hosted at NeueHouse Hollywood, Hannah Marks screened her new film, Don’t Make Me Go, starring John Cho (Searching) and Mia Isaac in her on-screen debut. The story centers around Max (Cho) and Wally (Isaac) Park as they travel across the country to make contact with Wally’s estranged mother after Max has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.
Max decides to keep his diagnosis from his daughter, and although his odds of survival are bleak there is a 20% chance he could survive if he opts to have surgery that could remove the tumor. Deciding not to risk it, Max keeps the prognosis from his daughter as they drive from California to Florida to find her mother.

The father-daughter relationship is not often showcased on the big screen. Marks does a wonderful job of illustrating the delicate balance of teachable moments between Max and Wally. “It’s an optimistic version of what we’re capable of being,” said Cho.
