Troop Zero
Stranger Says: Any film that has Viola Davis and Allison Janney in one lineup (not to mention Jim Gaffigan and Mike Epps) is one you want to watch. Set in 1977, Troop Zero is about a misfit 9-year-old girl named Christmas (played by the adorable Mckenna Grace of Gifted fame) who desperately wants to get her voice on NASA’s Voyager Golden Record, and the lengths she goes to with help from her crew of oddball misfit pals.
