'masters of the air' (2024)
In this SNACK episode of Mostly Superheroes, Sam the Sleeper from Team Jakey delivers a spoiler-free review of AppleTV's 'Masters of the Air'. The series, a war drama, is the brainchild of creators John Shiban and John Orloff, and is based on the book by Donald L. Miller 1. It's a companion to the acclaimed 'Band of Brothers' and 'The Pacific', and boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Austin Butler and Callum Turner, under the direction of Cary Joji Fukunaga among others 1.
The show has soared with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 86% and an IMDb rating of 7.9/10 614. With a budget that's as colossal as the skies its airmen battle in, 'Masters of the Air' had over $250 million allocated to bring this gripping tale to life 1.
