12. Spaceman (2024)
In a different time, Spaceman would be a different movie. If it were twenty years ago, Adam Sandler floating around in a spacesuit and befriending a talking spider who gives him advice about his marriage would be a recipe for something nonsensical. (As if it isn’t already.) But in the streaming era, Spaceman is played straight, maintaining its dignity as an existential sci-fi drama that interrogates the pangs of loneliness. Not all of Spaceman feels like it has footing on solid ground, but its somber tone compliments a committed Sandler who appears in uncharacteristically tortured hues.
