Episode 121: Project Hail Mary & The Martian

from Cinema in Context · host Cinema in Context

Drew Goddard solo space flicks. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Project Hail Mary (2026) and The Martian (2015). We begin by celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the podcast. We discuss our reactions to both films, from directors Ridley Scott, and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. We discuss the calibre of the cast in The Martian and the strength of Ryan Gosling's and Matt Damon's performances. We talk about the special effects and how the two films create a sense of zero-gravity in space. We close with our final thoughts, especially our experiences watching the films in the theatre and connections to other films... our typical schtick.
