Christmas Movie Premiere on Mars

Mission Unstoppable host Frankie Picasso will go anywhere to get a great interview.

This episode takes us on a journey that’s literally out of this world. Producer Margo McHugh, co-founder of Floating Lava Studios, joins us to talk about her latest film, Spirit of Christmas Station — a story that’s already making history before it even premieres.

Margo, along with her business and life partner Mathew Montgomery, has spent over a decade creating stories for screens big and small, with projects landing on Netflix, Hulu, Freeform, Amazon Prime, Tubi, and more. But this time, the story goes cosmic.

On Red Planet Day — November 28, 2025, the film will premiere inside NASA’s simulated Martian habitat at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, where Matt is currently living and working as part of NASA’s second CHAPEA mission — a 378-day analog mission to Mars.

It’s the first movie premiere ever held on “Mars,” and the real-life love story behind it is as inspiring as the film itself. Tune in for a conversation that blends cinema, science, and the human spirit — proving that when creativity and courage collide, the sky isn’t the limit.
