Episode 100: “Dutiful Dreams,” or Project Hail Mary 2026 Film

Chris and Jesse are BACK! And the lads return with the first episode in Chris’ series called “This Came From That?” where we consider both a piece of source material and its later adaptation. For our return we go back to one of our favorite works way back in Season One: Andy Weir’s fantastic novel Project Hail Mary.

The question we’ll be asking throughout the five episodes of this series is primarily about the relationship between source and adaptation, and we kick things off by looking at this 2026 film starring Ryan Gosling and Sandra Müller. Does the film stand equally alongside the book?
