I'm Thinking of Spoiling Things: Project Hail Mary

After a contentious hiatus following the harrowing experience of watching Hurry Up Tomorrow, your hosts return to Toronto's hottest live music venue to discuss films in front of an incidental studio audience. In an enduring effort to maintain nothing more than the utmost authenticity to our format, a plan has been put into action to save populist cinema from sliding back into a nightmare of 2010s era aimless millennial quirk. By taping a show live at the Rivoli and invoking the postmodern chaos of Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie's inimitable way of resurfacing the past in a way that authentically mines nostalgia without losing its ability to be earnest and endearing, we can effectively deconstruct the parallel failures of Wuthering Heights and Project Hail Mary as vessels for different forms of emotional yearning in a world absent sensuality or hope. Also, why are the Piantas mysteriously absent from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? We're stunt casting Glen Powell as Star Fox before we even get to Isle Delfino? We demand answers from Illumination.
