Képzeld el, hogy egy reggel úgy ébredsz, hogy fogalmad sincs, ki vagy, hol vagy, és miért vannak hullák a szomszéd ágyakon, hogy aztán az új szobatársad egy óriási kőpók legyen. Ryland Grace, az emberiség utolsó reménysége kénytelen megmenteni minket a Napunkat felfaló fényt pukizó vírusoktól, hogy ne fagyjon be a seggünk. Egy intergalaktikus MacGyver-kaland, ahol a legfontosabb fegyver a matematika, a barátság pedig ott kezdődik, hogy mindketten utáljátok a gravitáció hiányát.

Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling (Blade Runner 2049, Barbie) as Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher unexpectedly tasked with saving humanity after the sun begins mysteriously dimming. Along the way, Grace encounters Rocky — an alien engineer from another star system — leading to one of the most emotional and unique friendships in modern science fiction. The reaction especially focuses on the film's scientific problem-solving, the emotional isolation of deep space, the suspense surrounding the Astrophage threat, and Rocky quickly becoming an instant fan-favorite character.

Welcome to a brand-new month and a brand-new challenge here at We Drink & We Watch Things! This is Space MAYhem. Over the next four weeks, we're bringing you four interstellar adventures, but there's a twist: Lemar and Mackenzie watched all four movies and recorded all four episodes in one single, high-orbit day. That means four movies, four deep dives, and four custom cocktails, all within 11 hours. If we start sounding a little lightheaded by the end of the month, you'll know why.To kick things off, we are starting with the film we've both been dying to talk about - the highly anticipated 2026 adaptation of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary. Mackenzie has lived and breathed the book, and we both fell head over heels for this cinematic version. Pour yourself our first drink of the marathon - a energizing, solar-flaring concoction we're calling "Astrophage Ignition" (heavy on the caffeine, light on the gravity) - and join us as we wake up on a spaceship with no memory and a very important job to do.This week, we celebrate Ryan Gosling's pitch-perfect return to space as Ryland Grace, capturing that signature Weir "competence porn" where science is the only way out of a death trap. We marvel at the visual effects that bring the Hail Mary to life, but more importantly, we gush over the debut of cinema's new favorite companion (no spoilers here, but fist bump to the VFX team). We also examine how the film handles the book's non-linear structure and the high-stakes mission to save a sun that's being eaten from the inside out.If you love hard science, unlikely friendships, or just want to hear us kick off our most ambitious recording stunt yet while we're still relatively sober, this is the episode for you. We're blending our obsession with the source material with our usual casual banter, making this a stellar launch for Space MAYhem. Evolution, am I right?This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up. DM us what you want to hear about next!Interested in what we're watching off the pod? Check out Mackenzie or Lemar's Letterboxd!
When the survival of every person on Earth depends on one unwilling scientist, one who explicitly said no to sacrificing his own life for humanity, does anyone have the right to override that refusal? That's the question at the heart of Project Hail Mary, and it's what Matthew and returning guest Becky Allen dig into in this episode of Superhero Ethics.They start with the film's biggest reveal: that protagonist Ryland Grace was drugged and sent on a one-way mission without his consent, by scientist Stratt, who decided billions of lives outweighed his individual autonomy. Becky defends the call as a brutally weighted trolley problem. Matthew explores how the film's structure strategically withholds that information, and how American individualism shapes the way we read Grace's refusal in the first place. They also examine what it means that Stratt is written without a personal life or emotional release, and why Grace's isolation and rejection by the academic community may be as central to his arc as any act of cowardice.The conversation ends with the film's quiet optimism: a world that actually listens to scientists and actually comes together. Against the backdrop of pandemic response and climate change, that feels less like sci-fi and more like a wish. A very specific, very clarifying wish.Connect with Becky: BeckyAllenBooks.com**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Philip and Bridget discuss 'Project Hail Mary,' the film adaptation of the Andy Weir novel about an attempt to save the world through mostly real-world technology. Ryan Gosling's Ryland Grace is the sole surviving member of a crewed space mission to Tau Ceti aboard the Hail Mary. He was sent to find a cure for "astrophage," a viral organism that is draining the energy of the stars in Earth's vicinity. Tau Ceti is the only one that appears unaffected. Truly a "hail Mary" of a mission, especially now that has crewmates are dead, the amnesia-stricken Dr. Grace can only hope that a series of unexpected discoveries can somehow salvage any prospect of the mission's success.

Teaming up with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a conscripted schoolteacher-turned-astronaut on a mission to save the Earth and its dying sun. There's no denying that Project Hail Mary is the moviegoing event of the year so far, but does it have the craft and performances to elevate it above its crowd-pleasing station? Listen and find out.

If you thought The Martian was intense, let's just go ahead and raise the stakes. We break down the movie version of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, comparing the film with the fun technical problem solving of the original novel. We take a close look at how the movie brings the "astrophage" threat and and action to life, more importantly, whether it is possible to have your hair tousled 100% of the time. We dig into which complex scientific explanations were streamlined for Hollywood pacing and which "science-ing the heck out of it" moments remained intact. We also evaluate Ryan Gosling's performance as the amnesiac-turned-savior, Ryland Grace, comparing his onscreen energy to the internal monologue that made the book a bestseller. Whether you're a die-hard Rocky fan or a casual viewer who just loves a good space movie, this episode highlights the hits and misses of the transition from page to screen. We wrap up by answering the ultimate questions: is the movie worth watching? Is the book worth reading? Settle on in, enjoy, and fist our bump.

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.

Kentaro, Hiroshi, Keiko and Shaw meet up with May in Pensacola, Florida, where they plan to steal Hiroshi’s Titan lure back from Apex. In San Francisco, an evacuation is declared, while Cate meets one of the students who she saved on G-Day. She has a change of heart, and decides to return to Monarch. Trissop’s team leave Outpost 18 as Tim’s team and the Pacific Fleet prepare to intercept Titan X, but the signal on Apex’s tracking system turns out to be a whale. In Pensacola, the others infiltrate Apex’s headquarters and discover that Apex have been smuggling creatures off of Skull Island, including Leafwings, Needlewalkers, and Vinestranglers. Brenda shows May that Apex have developed neural implants to modify animal behavior, which she demonstrates using a Leafwing, and explains that they want to use the same technology to pacify the Titans. Shaw and Kentaro release the Needlewalkers to cause a distraction, allowing Hiroshi and Keiko to find the lure, but it has been dismantled. Fortunately, they also discover that Apex have some of Bill’s old files, including his map of Titan X’s migratory route, which allows them to predict its next destination as Santa Soledad. May chooses to stay with Apex, but the others escape and reunite with Cate. However, Hiroshi finds Keiko’s letter to Shaw in Bill’s files.

Mark and Eve intercept her, and Eve struggles as her powers become unstable during the fight, but Universa is eventually defeated.

The few survivors began seeking compatible species across the galaxy to preserve their race. On Talescria, Thaedus reveals he is the Betrayer who killed Emperor Argall. Using Nolan’s knowledge, the Coalition gathers weapons and allies like Space Racer and the Sinlak beetles. Thaedus later admits he created the Scourge virus and has an improved version.

Featured cast: Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson, J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man, Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson, and Brandon Scott Jones as William Clockwell. Rating Out of 5 What the Actual Fuck Was This Brian: .01/5 Darryl: 1/5 Project Hail Mary (2026) Release Date: March 20, 2026 Runtime: 156 minutes Director: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Writer: Drew Goddard Based On: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Studios: Lord Miller Productions, Pascal Pictures, Open Invite Films, and Waypoint Entertainment Distributor: Amazon MGM Studios (U.S. and Canada), Sony Pictures Releasing International (international) Summary: Ryland Grace wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or why he is there, only to slowly realize he has been sent on a desperate mission to save Earth from an extinction-level threat. What starts as a survival mystery turns into a science-heavy, emotionally warm space adventure built around problem-solving, sacrifice, and an unexpected interstellar friendship. Main Cast: Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt James Ortiz as Rocky Lionel Boyce as Carl Milana Vayntrub as Olesya Ilyukhina Ken Leung as Yao Priya Kansara as Mary Bastian Antonio Fuentes as Parker Production Notes: The film was directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and adapted by Drew Goddard, who also wrote The Martian, giving this one a similar mix of hard-science problem solving, humor, and crowd-pleasing momentum. Production shot in the United Kingdom, with principal photography running from June through October 2024, centered at Shepperton Studios. The movie's cinematography was handled by Greig Fraser, with editing by Chris Dickens and Joel Negron, and music by Daniel Pemberton. One of the big talking points around the movie is how heavily it leans on practical filmmaking. Lord and Miller said the production avoided green screens on set, relying instead on built environments, controlled lighting, puppetry, and VFX enhancement later. Rocky was brought to life through a combination of puppetry, animatronics, and digital effects, with James Ortiz both performing and voicing the character. The approach clearly connected with audiences. The film opened to about $80.6 million domestic and roughly $141 million worldwide, making it Amazon MGM's biggest opening and the biggest opening weekend of 2026 so far. It was also produced at blockbuster scale, with reporting placing the budget around $200 million net.

Rafael Arinelli, Henrique Rizatto, Sil Perez e Roberto (Pena) Spinelli falam sobre Devoradores de Estrelas, o filme de 248 milhões de dólares que prova que ficção científica hard pode (e deve) fazer você chorar.Ryan Gosling interpreta Ryland Grace, um professor de ciências que acorda numa nave espacial a 11,9 anos luz da Terra sem memória, cercado por dois cadáveres e com a missão de salvar a humanidade. Detalhe: ele foi sequestrado para a missão. A amnésia foi proposital para ele não lembrar disso logo de cara.Mas quem rouba o filme é Rocky, um alienígena feito de marionete física (manipulado por sete pessoas!) que consegue falar com um humano graças a um tradutor e vem de um planeta onde luz solar nunca chega. A parceria entre Grace e Rocky é o coração pulsante do filme: um é engenheiro brilhante, mas não conhece relatividade, o outro é físico teórico mas péssimo em engenharia.Phil Lord e Christopher Miller (do Aranhaverso) dirigem, Greig Fraser (de Duna) fotografa, e Andy Weir entrega hard science transformada em sentimento puro. Tem microrganismo comendo o Sol, filosofia de Camus e Kant, e um final que aquece o coração.

Ground control to Script Apart listeners – today on the show, we're blasting off into the cosmos with three formidable sci-fi storytelling talents. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are the writer-director-producer pair responsible for films like Into The Spider-Verse, Across The Spider-Verse, 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, The Lego Movie and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Screenwriter Drew Godard, meanwhile, you may know from movies like Cloverfield, Cabin In The Woods, World War Z and Bad Times At The El Royale, which he also directed. Project Hail Mary is their new film, directed by Lord & Miller and written by Drew, and it's one of the most entertaining and defiantly hopeful spectacles of the year so far – a tale of empathy and communication as a weapon against adversity, and another story of an astronaut adrift among the stars, adapted from an author who's made that kinda his specialty. In 2015, Drew worked with Ridley Scott on The Martian – an adaptation of a novel by Andy Weir. A decade later, Drew teamed with Andy again on a film that, from the outside, might look like The Martian Part II. Project Hail Mary, though, is in fact a brilliant inversion of Andy's breakthrough book, and of other similar-sounding space adventure yarns.It stars Ryan Gosling as junior high teacher Ryland Grace – a man who wakes up one day alone on a space shuttle with amnesia, and no recollection of what put him there. Soon he discovers himself to be at the centre of a mission to heal our solar system's dying sun. This dude in a nice cardigan is somehow humanity's last shot at salvation.“So, a bit like Sunshine by Danny Boyle?” I hear you ask. Not really! Despite the cosmic high-stakes involved in that premise, Project Hail Mary has a hilarious lightness of touch about it, and a message about friendship at its core that's remarkable. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, first with Drew, then handing over to Phil and Chris, you'll hear exactly how the filmmakers arrived at that tone. Collectively, we break down every twist and turn in Project Hail Mary – including the inspirations behind Rocky, a character that let me be very clear, I would die for. Drew also gives me a couple of insights into what he's cooking up with The Matrix 5, following the announcement a while back that he's going to be helming the next instalment in that saga.

A deep friendship between scientist and High School teacher Ryland Grace and an alien resembling a smaller version of Galaxy Quest's rock monster, brings together friends from the LAMB to sing it's praises. "Project Hail Mary" based on a novel from the same author as "The Martian", Andy Weir, postulates a natural element as the source of Earth's demise, as well as significant parts of the universe. Ryan Gosling goes to space to look for solutions, and although it looks like he might be alone, the universe has other plans. Rabid readers Lisa Leaheey and Heather Baxendale-Walsh join Howard Casner and Tony Cogan for a lively cheer squad discussion of the film.
We're going from the silent depths of space to the loudest streets in NYC! This week on Straight Outta Marvel, we're dropping our immediate, out-of-theater reaction to the long-awaited Project Hail Mary. Does Ryan Gosling capture that Ryland Grace energy, and how did they handle our favorite rocky friend?Plus, with Born Again Season 2 literally days away, we're looking back at the chaos of Season 1. We're recapping Matt Murdock's brutal return to the MCU, that insane Muse reveal, and why this version of Daredevil finally feels 'right.' Tap in and let's get into it!
Andy Weir's first time at the Hollywood rodeo was a singular trip. His debut novel, “The Martian,” went from self-published project to blockbuster, best picture-nominated film starring Matt Damon. His third book, “Project Hail Mary,” was also a sensation, and its adaptation, starring Ryan Gosling as a middle school science teacher tasked with saving humanity from slow extinction, charts warmly familiar territory: a lone man, stuck in space far from Earth, solving science problem after science problem with many a humorous aside. Weir joined the Book Review's podcast and spoke to the host Gilbert Cruz about the similarities and differences between Mark Watney and Ryland Grace (the main characters of “The Martian” and “Project Hail Mary”), his second novel “Artemis” and the alien character that readers have fallen in love with.

As protagonist Ryland Grace fights to save Earth - and possibly the universe - in Project Hail Mary, author Andy Weir discusses the science behind his sci-fi story and what it's like to see it adapted for the big screen. From a diversity of aliens thriving in extreme environments, to our sun's shortening lifespan, to the conundrum of keeping astronauts alive during intergalactic missions, we consider the possibility of science fiction becoming future reality. A NASA astrobiologist who consulted on the book weighs in on how Earthly creatures have inspired some of our favorite science fiction aliens. Plus, science fiction author Becky Chambers discusses how she balances science fact with fiction in her work.
