"Project Hail Mary" is a 2026 American science fiction adventure film produced and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and written by Drew Goddard, based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir. It stars Ryan Gosling (who also produced the film), Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub. The film follows Ryland Grace, a man who awakens on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he arrived there. Goddard was kind enough to spend half an hour (and with a cold, too) speaking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters by Amazon MGM Studios on March 20th. Thank you, and enjoy!

For this week's second podcast review, Megan Lachinski, Dan Bayer, Ben Langford, and Larry Fried join me to discuss the latest film from Disney Pixar, "Hoppers" starring Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, and Dave Franco. Directed by Daniel Chong and written by Jesse Andrews, from a story by Chong and Andrews, it follows Mabel Tanaka (Curda), an animal lover, whose mind is transferred into a lifelike robotic beaver to communicate with animals and save their habitat from destruction, inadvertently sparking an uprising in the process. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, animation, voice performances, score, where it ranks amongst other Pixar films, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Ema Sasic, Nadia Dalimonte, Megan Lachinski, and Sara Clements join me to discuss the latest film from Maggie Gyllenhaal, "The Bride!" starring Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz. Drawing inspiration from the 1935 film "Bride of Frankenstein," which was based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel "Frankenstein," the film is a reimagining of Shelley's characters set in 1936 that spans many genres and takes a pro-feminist approach. What did we think of it, though? Tune in as we discuss the story, performances, makeup work, visual aesthetic, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
