About this episode

The hosts return from a sabbatical to discuss the sci-fi film 'Project Hail Mary' and celebrate its merits.

For their 229th episode, two returning critics, two better-rested dads, and two science-loving teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, return from a brief sabbatical for a love-fest on the leader in the clubhouse for the movie of the year. They're talking about the instant sci-fi classic of "Project Hail Mary," starring Ryan Gosling, who's quietly becoming one our hosts' most dependable and favorite performers. For this big return, the haters stayed home. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
