The massive, hardcore science fiction is now a fun, compact buddy comedy in space that stars Ryan Gosling and which is "very, very different" from the film and novel "The Martian" starring Matt Damon.

If you have read the book, then definitely listen to this episode, and if you haven't then... we'd argue consider reading just the first 50 pages and then rewatching Project Hail Mary– you'll kind of get all the points were making because one of us has read the entire book but another of us has read only the first 50 pages, and the third person in the group has read the entirety of a different book by the author of Project Hail Mary, which is The Martian, also by Andy Weir.

Anyway, leave a comment if you've read the book or not read the book. Who cares if you liked the movie!
