Hello, fellow movie fans. I'm Lily Percy, and I'll be your guide this week as we talk with writer Jamie Barubi about the movie that changed her life, Interstellar.

If you haven't seen this movie, don't worry. We're going to talk about all the details you'll need to enjoy this conversation.

And if you've seen Interstellar, get ready to be transported again.

Yeah. get ready to be transported again. Although Interstellar is traditionally a sci-fi movie, it's so much more than that.

It's a movie about love and the connection and

bond that can exist between a father and a daughter. The first time I saw this movie, I couldn't

believe the world that Christopher Nolan created. He wrote the screenplay with his brother, Jonathan

Nolan, and together they created a universe that felt otherworldly.

It felt like you were in space, but it also felt so intimate and close to home that it broke your heart as you were watching it.

What's going on, Merf?

Why did you and Mom need me after something that's bad?

Well, we didn't.

Murphy's Law.

Murphy's Law doesn't mean that something bad will happen.

What it means is that whatever can happen will happen, and that sounded just fine with us.

So the movie centers around Coop, played by Matthew McConaughey, this farmer, former pilot,

who is also an engineer, also kind of just a jack-of-all-trades, who is trying to save the crops

on his land, and in turn save the crops on the earth. The earth is dying and things aren't growing anymore.

And so he gets this message from another universe, an alternate universe,

and this message contains coordinates of some kind,

coordinates that he decides to try to track down in order to find the origin.

Explain to me how you found this facility.
