Can Hidden Figures Convert a Certified Space-Movie Hater?
Pop culture chaos, NASA math, and one extremely suspicious “Not a Lesbian” bumper sticker collide in this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt episode of Put Your Books Down. Natalie and Angela dive into Hidden Figures and unpack why this powerful film hits so much harder than your average space movie. From NASA history and civil rights to Kevin Costner discourse and accidental feminist manifestos, the hosts balance humorous commentary with real conversations about racism, women’s contributions, and the genius of the women behind America’s space program. Along the way, they debate whether Kevin Costner is secretly a rom-com actor, confess their confusion about Star Wars timelines, and give flowers to Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe for delivering unforgettable performances. If you love TV & film analysis, shared personal stories, and unfiltered pop culture conversations, this episode belongs in your queue immediately. 👉 Subscribe to Put Your Books Down 👉 Watch the full episode on YouTube 👉 Follow us on social @putyourbooksdown 👉 Check out our website here: https://putyourbooksdown.com Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: • Put Your Books Down Follow Put Your Books Down on social media: Facebook: / putyourbooksdown Instagram: / putyourbooksdown Natalie on IG: / nataliecsandersonjones Angela on IG: / angelabinghamofficial Podcast produced by http://clantoncreative.com ==================== 🕒 YouTube Chapters Summary 00:00 Podcast Cold Open 00:38 Brooklyn Reunion Chat 02:37 Squishy Apple Distraction 03:31 TV Comedy Comparisons 04:00 Weird Subaru Sticker 05:23 “Super Rude” Debate 07:01 Hidden Figures Introduction 08:04 Challenger Disaster Memories 09:27 NASA vs Space Movies 10:47 Why Hidden Figures Works 12:50 Hidden Figures Plot Breakdown 14:21 John Glenn Mission Stakes 15:16 Bathroom Segregation Scene 16:03 NASA “Human Computers” 17:25 Katherine Johnson Saves Mission 18:35 Natalie’s Honest Review 19:12 Why This Movie Matters 20:10 Janelle Monáe Appreciation 20:56 Hustle & Flow Memories 22:04 Star Wars Confusion 24:02 Natalie Learns NASA History 24:46 Awards Season Discussion 25:38 Cinematography & Costume Praise 26:20 Watching Racism Onscreen 27:15 Men, Ego & Power 29:11 Why It’s Called Hidden Figures 30:03 “Behind Every Great Man” Debate 32:07 Women & Leadership Talk 33:48 Why These Conversations Matter 34:35 Learning About NASA Jobs 35:36 Kevin Costner Discussion 37:14 Harrison Ford vs Costner 38:54 Favorite Kevin Costner Movies 40:56 NASA Dinner Party Facts 41:27 Big Bang Theory Casting Shade 42:05 Wrapping Up The Episode 44:12 Final Thoughts & Goodbye
