Project Hail Mary review

From The Countdown by Paul & Wayne

March 24, 2026 · 17 min · Episode 855

About this episode

Wayne delivers a non-spoiler review of 'Project Hail Mary', expressing strong disapproval while Paul asks questions without any spoilers.

In this completely NON-SPOILER review, Wayne goes a little crazy for this Gosling shaped brand of entertainment that Andy Weir, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller has fashioned, resulting in him giving Project Hail Mary the most definitive two thumbs down of all time! (This will make sense if you've seen the movie ...) Paul, meanwhile, hasn't see the film at the time of recording, so he's all about the questions and insisting Wayne spoils nothing!
