In celebration of #ProjectHailMary being available to rent or buy digitally today, I figured it's a great time to say that Jong & I are talking all about the film at @comicpalooza.bsky.social alongside @heychalice.bsky.social of Reel Movie Junkie & Bryan Guanajuato of the @bryfypodcast.bsky.social!
The image shows the Comicpalooza podcast panel description for Michael's podcast Comicast. It also shows the Comicpalooza logo, Houston, the logos for Comicast, Reel Movie Junkie, & The BryFy podcast, and the dates May 22nd through May 24th. The description reads "How do you adapt a book for the silver screen? What do you keep, remove, or change? These are questions that every filmmaker must face when working on an adaptation. However, many times these adaptations leave audiences saying “the book was better!". That's not the case with this year's hit Project Hail Mary that left many fans yelling “Amaze Amaze Amaze!” Why did this film adaptation from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller work when so many others fail to capture what makes a book special? Why did the changes work? Join Comicast hosts alongside guests as they dive into those questions and more in an entertaining discussion about the film, the book differences, the Trolley problem, Ryland and Rocky's strong bond, and more!"

I got a chance to see #TheDeathofRobinHood & while I enjoyed it overall, I see why folks are mixed on it. It slows way down in the 2nd & 3rd act but it did enough for me in its brutal 1st act that I was invested to see Michael Sarnoski’s grim, melancholy tale to the end. #FilmSky
