Project Hail Mary Dion and Jill are the two team members who had braved the big dark scary abyss of space for our review of Project Hail Mary, so this one is very much a spoiler free look at the film and a whole bunch of “why you should definitely go see it!” Project Hail Mary is the new film based on the book of the same name by Andy Weir; the author of the other wildly popular space science romp, The Martian. In this new film Ryan Gosling is our resident space smart-guy (this Ken does Space) and the scale of the drama is galactically large! We also talk a bit about what else we have been watching including: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, Peaky Blinders: the Immortal Man the Firefly animated reboot And a bunch of other stuff too! We hope you enjoy it! Synopsis Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship with amnesia to discover he is on a last-chance, one-way mission to save humanity. He must stop a solar-dimming microbe, aided by an unexpected alliance with an alien named Rocky. https://youtu.be/3jdVYrEi1y4 A huge thank you to all you interstellar travellers listening to each episode of this show show light years later in the depths of cold dark space… While you prepare to save the universe or something.

This week on JJ Meets World, we dive into the surprising cultural dominance of Just Dance—a franchise that has quietly become a massive global juggernaut. From school carnivals to YouTube dance sessions, we break down why this game continues to thrive across generations. We also explore how the internet—especially YouTube—may have completely disrupted the karaoke industry, and what that means for performers, venues, and nostalgia. Plus, a spoiler-free discussion of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die and a deep appreciation for the unmatched versatility of Sam Rockwell. From indie gems to blockbuster hits, we examine why he might be one of the most underrated actors working today. Along the way: theater kids, DuckTales confusion, Scottish karaoke fame, and the strange logic of tugboat captains. 00:00 Intro – What's Coming Up 00:01 School Carnival & Theater Kids Chaos 02:57 Discovering Just Dance 03:20 What Just Dance Actually Is 04:27 The Endless Just Dance Releases 05:48 Spin-offs, Licensing & Variants 06:58 YouTube Replacing Gameplay 07:44 Why Kids Love It 09:29 Karaoke & DuckTales Debate 10:27 Did YouTube Kill Karaoke? 11:08 Uncle John's Karaoke Obsession 12:53 Scottish Karaoke Fame Story 14:24 "Shawny and the Dragon" Legacy 15:29 Tugboats & Career Identity Debate 18:49 Fear of Light Bulbs Exploding 22:34 Rotten Diet Coke Routine 23:22 Movie Recommendation (No Spoilers) 25:33 Why Going in Blind Works 26:15 Sam Rockwell Appreciation 29:12 Best Performances & Range 32:31 Leslie Bibb Connection 33:18 Final Thoughts & Wrap-Up

Weitere Kinostarts, wie GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE und THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE, und wie wir sie fanden, warten ebenfalls auf euch hier im Podcast bei CINEMA STRIKES BACK! Viel Spaß. :)

Ein Mann stürmt in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die ein amerikanisches Diner, behauptet, aus der Zukunft zu kommen - und erklärt den verdutzten Gästen, dass Social Media, Smartphones, vor allem jedoch Künstliche Intelligenz die Menschheit bald in den Untergang führen werden. Nur eine zufällige Gruppe Restaurantbesucher*innen könne nun helfen, das zu verhindern. Eine herrlich absurde Zeitreise-Prämisse. Eigentlich - doch dieser Film wirkt letztlich nur so, als hätten ein paar Boomer zwar gute Ansätze verfolgt, sie jedoch nur peinlich plakativ und kontraproduktiv oberflächlich auf die Leinwand gebracht.
In dieser Episode unseres Filmpodcasts sprechen wir über drei aktuelle Titel, die gerade für Gesprächsstoff sorgen: Gore Verbinskis Sci‑Fi‑Zeitreise‑Action „Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die“, den neuen Disney•Pixar‑Kinofilm „HOPPERS“ und den Serienauftakt „Young Sherlock“ von Guy Ritchie auf Prime Video. Wir ordnen Handlung, Tonalität, Regiehandschrift und Darstellerleistungen ein – und klären, für wen sich Ticket oder Stream besonders lohnen.

Gore Verbinski returns with his first film in nine years with his time travel comedy "anthology" film: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. This time around, he tries his hand at satire and topicality — a movie about our obsession with screens, our inability to cope with tragedy-filled modernity, and the encroaching threat of AI. Is he successful? Tune in and find out.
In the second half of this episode, JK Larkin talks about acting and his role in an upcoming production of Ionesco's Rhinoceros, Patrick reviews the new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, Steven reviews the Heated Rivalry books and series, Patrick calls out the TV news journalists who can't pronounce 'Puerto Vallarta' correctly, they name the films that blew them away, and discuss meeting men via apps versus meeting men in gay bars.
This week we're reviewing Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2026) —a time-travel comedy where one guy is sent back to stop humanity from handing the keys to the world over to AI. It's got big “fix the timeline” energy, plenty of chaos, and a surprisingly relevant premise… even if it's mostly played for laughs. Is this movie a winner?

Brothers J and Eric talk about the 2025 film "Relay," starring Riz Ahmed, Lily James, and Sam Worthington. It's a great little thriller, reminiscent of the Hitchcock films of old. Eric liked it more than J but both recommend it. Housekeeping starts at 37:08 during they talk about a new dishwasher, a new mesh WiFi router system, the movie "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die," AI attached to one's Blink doorbell camera, virtual voices, and voice replicants. Drew drops in at 59:20 to weigh in on Relay. J talks about the documentary series "I Bid You Peace," about Frugal Gourmet Jeff Smith which leads to memories of Justin Wilson and Martin Yan. This lead to memories of Robert Fulghum, Spalding Gray, David Sedaris, and Mike Daisey. This lead to Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann.

On this week's episode, the gang takes a look at this op-ed from former Sony head Michael Lynton and tries to figure out why Barack Obama suggested Sony was to blame for its own hack back in 2014. Then they review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. Is it the anti-AI parable we need right now? Or a mushily meatphored bit of non-AI slop? Make sure to swing by movieaisle.substack.com on Thursday for a bonus episode on the season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!One last note: we had some mild technical issues while recording the episode this week (internet problems and the such; I blame all that snow out east) so if the conversation is slightly more disjointed than usual, particularly on the video side of things, well, that's on the tech gods. Just one more reason not to turn the future over to those jokers, amirite?

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn't gross in the top 70, it may be the year's greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can't speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski's “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a sci-fi comedy that feels silly, stressful, and uncomfortably relevant all at once. On this episode of Thumb War, we dig into Gore Verbinski's return, Sam Rockwell's charisma, Juno Temple's emotional core, and why this movie's AI-driven “happy ending” might be the scariest part of all. It's not subtle — but it is effective.

If you thought the internet was a dumpster fire before, the EU LAUNCHES SECOND INVESTIGATION INTO GROK because Musk's bot won't stop generating nonconsensual imagery. Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding. We also touch on STEVE BANNON SUED OVER MAGA CRYPTO SCHEME, LOS ANGELES COUNTY FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROBLOX for being a safety nightmare, and the fact that TESLA ROBOTAXIS REPORTEDLY CRASHING at four times the human rate. TESLA DODGES 30-DAY SUSPENSION by simply killing the word "Autopilot," while NEW YORK HITS THE BRAKES ON ROBOTAXI EXPANSION to keep the chaos at bay. Finally, POLYMARKET WITHDRAWS EXPLOSIVE ARTEMIS BETTING MARKET because betting on dead astronauts is too much even for them, leading the ETHEREUM CREATOR STARTING TO THINK THIS WHOLE PREDICTION MARKET THING MIGHT BE GAMBLING. As NEVADA SUES KALSHI and Jack Dorsey oversees INSIDE THE ROLLING LAYOFFS AT JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK—using AI to summarize the misery of his employees—just remember: YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER'S $1.3 MILLION BORED APE IS WORTH NOW. Hint: it's twelve grand.In this week's MEDIA CANDY, we've got FREE BERT, KAT WILLIAMS: THE LAST REPORT, and the eternal return of SHREK. We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

This week, Dana is joined by Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times film critic and host of the podcast Unspooled, as well as Jamelle Bouie, New York Times columnist and host of the podcast Unclear and Present Danger. They discuss love affairs, lustful, glamorous, and interspecies.First up, it's the lustful as they take up Emerald Fennell's bodice-ripping adaptation of “Wuthering Heights.” Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the doomed duo Cathy and Heathcliff, the adaptation promises an over-the-top, camp spin on the Gothic tale but does it offer enough depravity to really deliver?Next, it's on to the glamorous with the Ryan Murphy-produced, CK One-scented limited series Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette about the tragic love story of the political scion and New York fashion It Girl.Finally, they discuss all the interspecies hijinks and backstage chaos in the delightful revival of The Muppet Show.In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the trio of cinephiles celebrate recent reporting that movie theaters are cool again.EndorsementsJamelle: William Wyler's 1939 version of Wuthering Heights starring Laurence Olivier— and while you're visiting the Criterion Channel, check out their collection Mervyn LeRoy's Pre-Code Films.Amy: Gore Verbinski's new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, in theaters now.Dana: The patient, observant documentaries of the recently deceased filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, several of which are available to stream on Kanopy. ----Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.
