Do You Like... Space Movies

2026 Summer Movie Preview

You have your syllabus. [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-you-like-apples/id1695921726?i=1000760283628] Now you have your summer watching list. Drew and Billy go through the entire summer movie schedule — May 1st through August 31st — and break down our most anticipated movie coming to theaters (Sorry Cliff Booth, seems like you're staying on Netflix). The big ones. The epic ones. The ones that will have packed houses and goosebump moments you can only get on a giant screen. But big movies aren't for everyone, and every massive release has a smaller, quieter alternative dropping the same weekend. The same week Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters, indie and queer cinema icon Gregg Araki releases I Want Your Sex. We hope you can handle the heat of this episode, but once the heat of the summer becomes unbearable and you need an escape, remember this episode and go see some movies. Every weekend has something waiting for you. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER!

Do You Like... Project Hail Mary

Project Chili's is over! It is time to focus solely on the epic, charming, funny, and emotional box office hit, Project Hail Mary. This movie stars Ryan Gosling, a space rock creature named Rocky voiced and puppeteered by James Ortiz, and Sandra Hüller. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. This is a solo effort this week, in solidarity with Ryan Gosling! Billy Rock gives his quick 18 minute thoughts of Project Hail Mary. Is it a classic? How does Ryan Gosling's performance as a stranded person compare to the likes of Matt Damon in The Martian, Tom Hanks in Cast Away, or even Tom Hardy in Locke? Find out what Billy thinks about that and more! Hosts: Billy Rock and Drew Wendt Intro music by Ryan Jenkins We have a March Madness bracket happening to try and decide what is the best, Best Picture winner of the last 16 years.
