Project Hail Mary and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (Movie Squad Podcast #529)

Who is the mystery second lead in Project Hail Mary? Why is it always a ‘man’ from the future? What is a Gore Verbinski? Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo can’t answer all of Brekky host Pam Boland’s questions in the latest instalment of Movie Squad. But they have fun perplexing her nonetheless! A rundown of the recent Academy Awards comes first, with everyone sharing their feelings on the event, the winners and the biggest sweetie pies of the night. Then, a review of Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s big screen spectacle Project Hail Mary, starring a space-bound Ryan Gosling and a mystery second fiddle. It’s followed by a review of the straight-to-streaming sci-fi oddity Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, featuring Sam Rockwell as a mysterious prophet from the future and Haley Lu Richardson and Juno Temple as his suspicious disciples. Stay tuned as Simon and Tristan talk about AI in cinema, and wonder why actors don’t take photos holding popcorn and pointing at movie posters anymore. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas, WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
