I was going to answer: gen Zers and millennials (like my kids) because they were social distancing before social distancing was cool.

BTW, the Disney movie "Secretariat" is really, really good... The race recreation cinematography, score, and sound design is some of the best I've seen. It's on iTunes, and I think it's on Disney+.

I always thought that making a good movie about true, relatively recent events was hard.
Because we actually know what happens, creating any drama or tension seems tough.
Like Apollo 13, I think this movie did a great job of that.
