420 — Project Hail Mary

This week, Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) and Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) discuss the year's biggest film (so far!) when they sit down to talk PROJECT HAIL MARY. As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review. PLOT SUMMARY: Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone. Directed by : Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Written by : Drew Goddard, adapted from the novel by Andy Weir Starring : Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, Ken Leung, Lionel Boyce *Clip from PROJECT HAIL MARY courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios. *Photo credit: Jonathan Olley @TheWatchAndTalk (Twitter/Instagram) Letterboxd.com/TheWatchandTalk Facebook.com/TheWatchAndTalk TheWatchAndTalk@gmail.com Support the show!
