In I.S.S. (2023), tensions flare aboard the International Space Station when news breaks of war between the United States and Russia back on Earth. As loyalties are tested and survival becomes uncertain, astronauts from both nations must decide whether to trust one another or claim control of the station by force. Suspense builds in the claustrophobic confines of orbit, where one wrong move could mean the end of humanity’s fragile connection above the planet.
This time, we look to the stars—and find humanity’s darkest impulses reflected back. Join us as we discuss I.S.S.—a taut, atmospheric thriller exploring trust, paranoia, and the thin line between cooperation and conflict. We’ll examine its performances, direction, and the unnerving tension of turning space—a symbol of unity—into a battleground. Strap in as Johnny Has the Keys drifts through zero gravity and confront the question: what happens when home turns hostile?
