Project Hail Mary (2026 Film) | The SF Adaptation We Needed

Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller delivered an adaptation to remember of Andy Weir's hit novel, but how does it stack up to the original? In episode 377, join Luke Elliott and James Bailey as they react to an IMAX event of a film, weigh what science was important to keep and what could go, revel in practical effects, explore Lord & Miller's journey in the industry, and appreciate some well-placed karaoke scenes. They finish by casting their votes on which was better: the book or the movie!
