One sip in and we’re already arguing about which drink is which, then we point our glasses straight at "Project Hail Mary," the big, bright, surprisingly emotional sci-fi crowd pleaser that just dared to make hope feel cool again.

We’re joined by Cinema Sugar co-founders Chad Comello and Kevin Prchal to talk through why this Andy Weir adaptation works, where it gets a little heady, and why the movie’s core message sticks: the future isn’t something to fear, it’s something to figure out.

Remember to imbibe responsibly! If you haven't seen "Project Hail Mary," watch the film before you listen to the episode.
