Episode 114 - Project Hail Neighbor
In this episode, RDY helps us travel across the stars as we discuss Project Hail Mary (mostly the movie, but a little of the book as well). We explore the unexpected relationship at the heart of the story between Ryan Gosling’s astronaut, Grace, and his surprise neighbor, Rocky. What begins with two strangers who can’t even communicate, turns into a story of curiosity, trust, and figuring out just how far you’re willing to go for someone else. It’s a story of doing something nice for someone else, and learning that a good neighbor is someone who is willing to watch you sleep. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.
