About this listen

This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are blasting off into a suicide mission with *Project Hail Mary*, a film that asks if you’re willing to save the world if it means never seeing a human face again. They’re dissecting the tactical "choice" of being kidnapped and put into a coma for science, the logistical nightmare of an IMAX theater that requires a neck brace, and why Scott is surprisingly okay with a life of isolation as long as it ends with a statue in his honor. From sun-eating space mold to the ultimate interspecies bromance with a literal rock named Rocky, they’re questioning whether teaching alien kids on a "Moose" call is really better than a one-way ticket back to Earth. It’s a deep dive into forced altruism, selective amnesia, and whether or not a sentient pebble makes for a good roommate.
