All Out of Bubblegum Film Club 098 / Mickey 17

Mickey 17 is a 2025 science-fiction comedy film produced, written, and directed by Bong Joon-ho, based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. The film stars Robert Pattinson in the title role, alongside Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. Wanting to get off of Earth, the financially destitute Mickey Barnes signs up to be an "expendable", a disposable clone worker, on the human colony Niflheim. As an expendable, Mickey undertakes several dangerous assignments he is not expected to survive, with a new body being regenerated each time he dies. After one of his clones, "Mickey 17", is incorrectly assumed dead, both the previous and current version, known as Mickey 18, have to grapple with the nature of being expendables and the brutal government of the colony.
