Send us a text This week on Get Doc’d, we dive into the 2019 documentary Rocketman, the wild, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt story of “Mad” Mike Hughes—a retired limo driver, flat-earth believer, and self-proclaimed daredevil—on a mission to launch himself into the sky in a homemade steam-powered rocket. Directed by Toby Brusseau and Michael Linn, Rocketman blends absurdity with ambition as it follows Mike and his ragtag crew of dreamers and skeptics. There’s Pat, the peace-preaching neighbor who’s never without his vape; Waldo, the reluctant rocket expert who denies being friends with Mike despite building his rocket; and, of course, Mike himself—a man who doesn’t believe in gravity but holds a world record for a limo jump. It’s equal parts American Movie and MythBusters meets conspiracy-theory YouTube rabbit hole. Rocketman is streaming on Amazon Prime, and we highly recommend giving it a watch before (or after) listening.Hit play and prepare for liftoff—it’s one hell of a ride.https://www.facebook.com/lalaskitchenonwheels 25 Best Documentary Film Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Thanks for listening!
