About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the film 'Project Hail Mary' with various opinions and personal anecdotes from the hosts.

Dhruv's internet is down (and he despised the film everyone seems to love), so Varun takes over hosting duties of our latest episode. You know what you're in for then. For about an hour of this two-hour spoiler-filled episode on "Project Hail Mary," Varun manages to steer the (space) ship rather competently -- encouraging all our participants, including himself, of course, to share thier adoration (Adithiyan), disdain (Cris), or measured response (Amartya, Hemant, & Varun) to (currently) the biggest hit film of the year. Then the wheels come off—so expect deviations, including discussions about Hemant's marriage, Varun's UK Passport Office visit pre-watching PHM, etc. The editor of this episode, who's also writing this description and was slandered around 10-15 times in the episode (Dhruv), wishes all QID listeners the best of luck trying to survive this particular section of the episode.
