Project Hail Mary

We took a week off but we're back talking about one of the biggest bluckbusters of the year! Project Hail Mary is directed by the duo of Lorde & Miller starring Ryan Gosling & Sandra Hüller. This time around, we focus on the screenplay by Drew Goddard who adapted yet another novel of Andy Weir. We dissect the two storylines, the bromance between the two main characters, scientific approach and optimism in the movie. A big talking point is the soundtrack and score by Daniel Pemberton.
