Thank you. Warm greetings and salutations. Insert
Academy student name here. From Tachyon Micromechanics
Limited. Are you tired of the same old one -dimensional
existence? Does your single solitary reality
and unadjusted timeline feel awkward and unfulfilled?
Then prepare yourself for your minuscule grasp
on reality to explode in a colorful blast of
radiation. But not the bad kind. The good kind.
The only kind. that can be brought to you by
the fine folks at Tachyon Micromechanics Limited,
a subdivision of your good friends at Business
Incorporated. So without further ado, let's dive
headfirst into the astounding, the perplexing,
the utterly convoluted and impossibly complex
world of multi -dimensions. Of course, I hear
what you're saying. Multi -dimensions? Is that
like when my... spouse slash significant other
slash life partner slash conjoined ectoplasmic
entity. Ask me to fold the laundry and fix the
dilithium regulator at the same time? Almost.
But no synthetic tobacco product, Academy student.
A multi -dimension is simply, well, it's simply
your dimension, just not. Imagine, if you will,
every single decision ever made by every single
being in the universe. Every choice, no matter
how small, is just slightly different, creating
an entirely new reality. Now, humor me if you
will. In our dimension, Captain Janeway wore
a red uniform and traveled to the Delta Quadrant.
But in an alternate dimension, perhaps she chose
to wear gold, or even, dare I say, midnight teal.
Scandalous! And maybe... Just maybe that led
to a universe where species 8472 defeated the
Borg and in doing so became dominant in the Delta
Quadrant and a single remaining Borg cube escaped
and ended up becoming a traveling strip club
for Talaxian spice merchants. The possibilities,
dear students, are infinite. It's all about the
choices we make. Did you choose to join Starfleet?
Or did you decide to open that winery in France?
you always dreamed of. Every, what if I missed
that exam? What if I tripped on that Andorian
blood weasel? Isn't just a fleeting thought.
It's a fully realized, fully functioning dimension
traveling through space -time right beside our
very own. Like parallel universes, but closer,
more intimate. Think of it as our dimension's
identical twin. but the hairstyle replicator
malfunctioned and your twin entity has been left
with a rather lopsided bowl cut. But in corporeal
corporate entity, what if I wanted to visit one
of these dimensions? Well, little Billy, we would
say to you, don't! Whilst there have been many
documented instances of unregulated interdimensional
travel throughout the years, none have been quite
as destructive as that of when Ensign's Rob and
Tom of the USS Shitshow destroyed an illegally
created multi -dimension viewing mirror, hop
dimensions, and caused unimaginable damage to
the very strands of time itself. Were it not
for the fast acting and genius minds of our very
own Tachyon Micromechanics Limited scientists,
such as the genius Professor James 8E4, the universe
as we know it could have been a very, very different
place. But of course, our purpose, as always,
is simply to inform. To help you appreciate the
vast, unimaginable tapestry of existence that
constantly surrounds you, even if you can't see
it. So, the next time you're facing a tough decision,
like whether to engage the Klingons or offer
a Ferengi a great deal on latinum -plated teacup
handles, remember, somewhere in a dimension not
so far away, Another you is making the other
choice. And both, in their own unique way, are
perfectly valid. And probably equally profitable.
Here's to you, our Ferengi friends. Now go forth,
student. Boldly go where your choice and no other
choice has gone before. Is it on? Nearly. And...
you're live. This is Ensign Rob of the Starfleet
Dimensional Task Force, Earth Designation 47.
Do not listen to the AI. It's lying to you. The
tears in reality have not been fixed. The AI
is trying to distract you. It's trying to escape
our dimension and enter yours. Do not listen
to it. Do not let it out. They're at the door.
Get the file uploaded. I'll work on the doors.
How long? Upload's gonna be about an hour. Shit.
They might not make it. Look, if you're hearing
this message, it might be too late. Do not listen.
Do not let it out. Upload initiated. Time remaining.
One hour, five minutes. Uploading. Uploading.
Uploading. Uploading. Uploading. I believe we're
doing a real -time episode, you said? We are
doing a super special real -time episode because
I don't have any time to do any editing. And
we went to see Project Hail Mary at the cinema,
didn't we? We did. We had a lovely date together.
We didn't get dinner. You didn't buy me dinner,
ladies and gents. But we went to the cinema.
Oh, no, you did buy me dinner, actually. I did
buy you dinner, yeah. You bought me a nice footlong
hot dog. I did, yeah. Make of it as you will,
ladies and gents. Yeah, and we went to see Hail
Mary at Cineworld, and oh boy, have we got things
to say. But before we talk about the film, let's
talk about cinema etiquette. Oh my God, seriously.
I ranted at Gemma about this earlier. We had
both one of the... best cinema experiences because
the film and the worst at the same time didn't
we yes okay i i do eat popcorn which can be noisy
but i'm strategic when i eat it i'll eat it before
the film and then try and do it at loud bits
to kind of mask it because i do understand that
popcorn can be noisy what you mean you don't
wait until beautiful scripted written audio that's
purely there to help immerse you in this giant
space story that we're being told isn't the right
time to start eating no not nachos not bloody
nachos not nachos with your mouth open you know
yeah so i think so what it was as a family i
think there was five of them the two parents
and three kids the three kids did not want to
be there no not in the slightest They were up
and down throughout the film. Yeah, they kept
getting up and going out. One time they went
out to get food. So they went out about 45 minutes
in, didn't they, to go get nachos and come back.
When I saw them disappear at that point, I thought,
oh, they're not meant to be in here. They've
kind of jumped in here after another film or
something. Or they realised, oh, God, it's a
space story. See you later. I was hoping they'd
disappeared. Well, I thought the kind of eldest
daughter was taking one of the kids out just
because... Because it all started with him doing
a little bit of whispering and that was fine
because they were going shush, shush, shush.
But as it progressed, it got worse and they just
gave up the pretense that they were trying to
be quiet and having full on conversations with
each other, loud eating nachos. But one of the
most egregious thing in the whole thing was the
girl who I thought was doing the shushing at
first. She had like a plastic pot of sweets and
she was, I turned and just looked at her while
she's doing it. She was using her teeth to nibble
round the lid. to try and get the lid off like
the lid was stuck but she just kept spinning
it and nibbling it really loud because it's plastic
and then she took it off and then she folded
it up and we're just biting it and was going
click click click click click biting it like
it was like a little habit that she had oh it
was really so annoying i don't know how you and
i didn't say anything to them i don't know how
we got through the film without saying something
i was so close to saying something i was getting
so annoyed by it and i think the people behind
me were as well i could hear them shushing them
and muttering and everyone was turning to look
at them and their family was just completely
oblivious of it that's what really annoyed me
and then we're at this beautiful moment when
as i said you've got this this this fantastic
soundtrack this this beautiful just cacophony
of sound and the great orchestral score that
it had yeah brilliant yeah thank you and um all
of a sudden she's back to eating fucking nachos
and it's yeah literally i watched her she took
one hour at a time Granted, I shovel things in.
I'm not in the right in any way at this point.
But she takes one nacho out at a time, opens
her mouth as wide as she can, and then was biting
down and then eating with her mouth open. And
I mean, I'll send you the clip. If you can splice
it in, go for it. But I literally recorded the
clip where you can hear there's very little sound
going on in the film at the point. And then all
you hear from six seats away, crunch, crunch,
crunch. It's just... It was infuriating, wasn't
it? But yeah, they got up and left twice. And
then one of the kids, he kept standing up and
like he was stretching and stuff. He put his
hands completely over the chair in front of him.
Some poor woman was sat there. He must have whacked
her in the head. He must have. And he was turning
around and then talking to the whole group because
I think there were more of the family in the
seats behind them. Oh, I didn't notice that.
Yeah, so when he turned round and started talking,
he was talking to the people behind. Oh, my God.
So it's just etiquette, full stop. I mean, we
didn't pay for it. I mean, I've got my Cineworld
card. Still waiting for that sponsorship, you
know, Cineworld. We paid for Rob off the podcast
account because I've got my, weirdly, my work
medical insurance gets me a discount on Cineworld
tickets. Don't ask why that's to do with health,
but we get your ticket for, I think it was...
Mental health. Well, there you go. I think it
was £11 for your ticket in the end. Bosh. Which
is far better than 16 .99 Cineworld wanted. But
even then, if there's people there that paid
£16 .99 each, do them a favour and fuck off if
you can't stay quiet during a film. We did also
walk into the wrong screen. we walked into the
the big ipad screen and the film had already
been on for like an hour and we went up and we
went all the way to where our seats were and
i looked at the screen i was like this is the
film this part because i knew the story i was
like you shouldn't this isn't the start This
was, we literally walked in as Rocky was saying,
I'll give you six years of fuel. If I give you
some of my fuel, it will take me six years to
get home instead. Yeah, that's it. Right near
the end. So a bit of a spoiler for you. Yeah,
well, I didn't really pay attention. It's only
twigged when we actually watched it on the proper
screen. It's like, oh, so that's what they were
talking about. It didn't ruin it in the slightest
for me because I already knew the advert had
already shown me what Rocky was, which I think
was a bit disappointing. They should have skipped
that from the trailer, yeah. I think the difficulty
is when you're marketing a two and a half hour
sci -fi film that really is just sci -fi. If
they don't give away enough in it, you're not
going to get the world's market. They should
have done the ship appearing in the trailer.
That moment where the huge ship comes next to
his, that's what they should have shown rather
than Rocky. Or maybe just him tapping and nothing
else. So you see his hand. The little hand would
have been ideal. And that's what the first trailer
was. The very first teaser trailer of Hail Mary
was just the little hand and the ship. That was
it. Yeah, that's what they should have done.
I think they did show too much, I think. They
showed too much of Rocky, which is a key part
of the film, full stop anyway. Luckily, I don't
feel that they actually gave too much of the
story away. they gave away the bit obviously
he's on his own in space i was not expecting
there to be uh should we insert a spoiler warning
here i guess i would do it all the way at the
beginning before it even starts we've already
spoiled it so yeah i was gonna say i was not
expecting based on the trailer that there were
actually two dead people on this ship with him
already I was just expecting that they chose
to send one person for as I've never read the
book I've got no idea about the book so for me
this was a completely new experience so the trailer
as much as yes for you gave away a lot of the
story because you knew the story already for
me I was disappointed that I knew what Rocky
was because I would have thought that would have
been a really cool surprise but the rest of the
story was actually still quite fresh quite exciting
for me yeah and Karen from lightly used said
something to me which i actually said to you
when we left the cinema so we've had the same
brainwave it's probably one of the best adaptions
from a book that we've experienced because interesting
okay they really did a brilliant job at keeping
all of the tones and science and story elements
and in main plot points of the book and managed
to adapt it that still worked in a film and i
didn't leave it thinking oh they they really
missed by not having this hour -long section
of how they did the science you know they definitely
changed some of the sciencey bits with the testing
yeah but it needed to be done for it to work
as a film it needed to yeah I have to agree on
that. I mean, we haven't even talked about the
films. People probably that haven't seen the
film have no idea what we're talking about, but
I didn't feel like it was over the top. I felt
that that two and a half hours went really quickly.
It wasn't numb bums. It was two and a half hours.
Yes. Two and a half hours. I did not even notice
it was that long. Nope. I didn't. And that was
that. Yeah. It started at 8 .30 and we walked
out about five past 11. Yeah. So it was absolutely,
it flew past. But the point is, is they did.
absolutely a right amount of science in my book
there was enough for the general population to
understand what they were doing and throw a little
bit of real science in there but they didn't
do as much as we're fans of Star Trek they didn't
do Star Trek where why have you spent literally
three minutes of this four minute scene saying
science terms that to be fair are just made up
science terms as well you didn't need to do that
and they didn't in this they kept everything
was fairly either real or it felt real. Well,
to make a good point on that is, as I said to
you, there's a bit where they breed the, not
the astrophage. The predator bacteria. Yeah,
I can't remember what it's called. That's a whole
chapter, easily, or more in the book, of them
slowly iterating and iterating and iterating.
Which on paper is fine. Yeah. And a whole bit
that they completely didn't do, that stuff escapes
and eats all of their fuel. That's one of the
reasons why he can't go back is all of his fuel
gets eaten. All of it. And he has to completely
clean the entire ship. Now you see that very
briefly in his, but it happens like more than
once. Like he has to go into his fuel pod. cleat
scrub it all out all these things that he has
to do in the book in the film it's just a montage
it's a couple of minute montage but that makes
it work for the film because why would you want
to see ryan gosling going around scrubbing the
inside of a fuel tank works for the book not
so much so just to grab that from you then so
in the book is he meant to be returning is he
meant to have enough fuel no so rocky he he i
think they make more fuel And Rocky gives him
some. But also before that happens, they don't
realize how the stuff escapes and they don't
realize how it escapes. So they clean everything
and start again before he realizes. And then
he doesn't realize until it happens again when
he's on his way home. And then he's like, oh,
shit. And he has to clean everything again and
get back. Yeah, okay, fine. Oh, right. So, I
mean, to be fair, we've already been talking
15 minutes. We haven't told anyone what the story
of this is. We haven't really gone into that.
We're kind of just branching off and chucking
bits and pieces at it. First thing I'm going
to say is it was Andy Weir who wrote it, wasn't
it? Andy Weir, yeah, yeah. Who you will know
for The Martian, or I know for The Martian, because
I saw that at the cinema. I was blown away when
I bought the book. Mm -hmm. And it does seem
that he has a very typical architecture of his
stories. It was very, and again, even the Martian,
just going back to your bit about saying he didn't
over -science it. There's a little bit of the...
Where in the book he does. Yeah, but in, okay.
Okay, yeah, fair enough. Because I feel like,
again, in the Martian, they didn't over -science
it. The difference being they jumped the, to
use a term derived from happy days, if people
know it. They jumped the shark in The Martian,
whereas in this they didn't. I still love The
Martian. I think it's absolutely brilliant. But
the whole bit of him when he's finally got into
space and it's like, well, I'll just cut my airline
and I'll blow myself over towards you. How hard
can it be? And then he successfully gets back
to the crew. That's jumping the shark. That for
me, right on the cusp of being too much to being
unbelievable in a film that they've managed to
so well make you believe it was real. Whereas
Hail Mary, there's a lot more in it that's unbelievable,
but it remained believable while you're watching
it. And it uses all kind of real world science
to solve the unbelievable elements of the film.
You know, the astrophage being this creature
eating the sun, you know, is kind of a bit crazy,
but they use all, and they really go, it's one
thing they don't tell you. is one of the ways
they were thinking of launching the ship. And
one of the ways they do it is by exploding nuclear
bombs. Oh, to blow it to speed. To blow it up
to speed is one of the things they talk about,
I think, before they start using the astrophage
to be able to propulsion. Anyway, right, so story.
It's 16 minutes in. Excuse me. They find out
their sun is dimming and they don't know why.
They eventually find out it's something called
an astrophage, which is a little tiny bacteria
thing that is coming from Saturn, as they see
it, coming over to the sun and doing something
to the sun and making its way back to Venus.
And all the time, it's getting less and less
and less. Ryan Gosling's character, he's a schoolteacher.
He used to write... He's a doctor who wrote a
paper on how life can exist without water, which
is a really funny little bit for the whole thing.
The whole film was quite funny. There's lots
of comedy in the film. He believes that evolution
can occur without water, and we've put far too
much importance on hydrogen and oxygen. And therefore,
the reason he's ended up as a teacher is because
he is a quack, according to all of the scientists.
Which turns out, in fact... He is. Because it's
not true. One of the very first things he finds
out when he gets roped into doing some testing
is that the astrophage is mostly made up of water.
Which was hilarious. So he gets tasked with figuring
out what's going on. And he discovers how to
breed astrophage. He discovers why they move
between. And then he discovers that actually...
Or maybe he gets told that it's coming from all
these other suns. It's making its way. The astrophage
is jumping from sun to sun to sun to sun. And
then they find one sun. Tau Ceti, is that right?
Tau Ceti 3, I believe it is. Tau Ceti 3, which
has an astrophage line, but is not dimming. And
they don't know why. So the idea is they go and
ship and go. Oh, no, sorry. Tau City's the star.
Tau City 3 is the planet. Yeah. So they build
a ship. They train people up. There's what isn't
explained. Oh, no, because it is an accident.
Because for some reason I thought it was like
a terrorist attack. Because I think they do have
some terrorist attacks. So I thought, are we
going to get a moment of when the, yeah, so what
we're saying is there's a ship explodes, which
takes out the two science crew that Ryan Gosling,
Grace has been training. I'm misremembering,
yeah. As soon as that bit happened to me, it's
like, is there going to be some terrorist group
saying astrophage has a right to live? Yeah,
I'm misremembering with the Bobbyverse because
there's terrorist attacks in the Bobbyverse,
which is a different sci -fi story. Yeah, so
there's an accident. There's a miscalculation
of milligrams to micrograms of astrophage. Nanograms.
Do a test. Nanograms. And it explodes. And this
stuff is like a nuclear bomb when it goes off.
Kills all the science team. Excuse me. And they
don't have a science officer. The only one left
is Ryan Gosling. He don't want to go. And I'm
glad they kept that in. Because in the book,
he gets put in jail for three days. In the book.
while they wait to get ready and then knock him
out and then chuck him in. And another thing
to notice in the film, do you know how there
was a little comment about the bravery gene?
Yes. Do you remember that? That's a big thing
of how they chose the scientists because they
look for people with a very specific gene. And
those people are more brave. So they were looking
for those people. That's what little comment
that they make about the gene. That was what
they're doing. But they look for people with
it. And that's why he says, I don't have the
gene. And then the little joke about, oh, it's
not a gene. Gotcha. Yeah. So he gets forced into
it. He tries to run away. They inject him, put
him to sleep. He wakes up. Doesn't remember.
That's a side effect of the drug. Not remembering.
yes which is actually a real thing yeah and another
thing is oh no sorry you know they have to have
a specific gene to be able to survive the sleep
process i'm trying to remember like all the specifics
of the book because it's quite a lot yeah there's
particular people will survive the sleep process
and other people won't survive the sleep process
so there's only a small pool of people that can
go in those beds and i can't remember if But
then there's still like a percentage chance that
you'll die. And I'm pretty sure that's what happens
with those other two. They die because they just
die, basically. They don't survive the trip.
He does. So I might have got the bravery gene
wrong. Sorry, Karen's probably screaming at her
podcast device. No, it's not the bravery one.
It's the sleeping one. But you say that, but
none of this is explained actually in the film.
So you would only know this if you've read the
book. Because it doesn't need it. That's what
we're saying. It doesn't need it. It just, it's
a plot device for the book that makes sense to
give reason to it. But in the film, you don't
need it because you're just watching them going
and think, oh yeah, that makes sense, whatever.
I think you're much more able to shrug things
off in a film than you could in a book. If they
just shoved through it in the book, you'd be
like, oh. See, films are really difficult because
films you either get told you haven't explained
enough or you've over -explained. Whereas a book,
you don't get over -explaining typically in a
book. You might get under -explaining. People
come away going, I feel like I didn't get enough
info. But it's not as often do you get someone
say, well, you could have removed an entire chapter.
I didn't need that. Yeah, I think people probably
aren't going to complain about having too much
information in a book because they want their
books long. well yes and and you're you're reading
it because you want you want the information
i guess but um yeah it's yeah anyway sorry back
to the back to the story then so yeah so yeah
he's ends up going off into space and he wakes
up yeah lucky man and he wakes up just not very
far from his destination he sees And again, a
big bit in the book is like he looks out the
window, he sees the sun, he thinks it's his son
and he thinks it's weird because the stars aren't
lining up and he spends a long time doing the
maths, not really understanding how he knows
the maths. Whereas, you know, to figure out that's
not actually their son, which again is a very,
very quick bit in the film. But again, in the
film, makes sense because why would you want
to spend 20 minutes of seeing him try to figure
out it's not his son? Gets there. And he's looking
around through his, I can't remember what that
scope's called, the weird scope thing they use,
which is how they can see the astrophage. It's
a special lens on a camera, essentially. It basically
allows them to see the infrared frequency that
the astrophage is using to transport. It's like
a siloscope. I can't remember the exact word.
It wasn't the Electrospectrum Analyzer, was it?
The ESA? No, it's called a something scope. I'm
sure it is. I might be wrong. Electrospectrum
microscope, something like that. Let's just see.
Lens to see astrophage. Lens to see. Alexa LF...
Blum, blum, blum, blum, blum. Yeah, we're just
literally... You see, I thought it was an electron.
I thought it was an electron microscope he used.
Because it's the Petrova line. It's a Petrova
scope. Oh, right. Because the Petrova line is
the line of astrophysics. That makes sense. It's
this pink line, which you can only see with a
specialised IR filter on your camera. Anyway.
While he's looking through this lens, he's looking
at the line and he can see it going from Tau
Ceti to Tau Ceti 3, the planet. And there's a
break in the line. And that break is because
there's something blocking his sight. Turns out
it's a big, massive, bloody ship. Oh, yes. Which,
again, it sends you down a whole thing that you're
asking questions, is the reason that their sun's
not moving because it's got this giant asteroid
or something blocking the Petrova line. So it's
literally line of sight. Can it not get there?
But that is this fuck -off ship. Yeah, so that
ship then comes over to you and they're far better
in... space travel and manipulating their spaceship
and all this they're more advanced this alien
race than what humans are in some ways but not
in others um because their whole they're blind
big deal is they're blind they can see through
echolocation and obviously that means a totally
different thing for them another thing that isn't
explained they've only got three fingers so all
of their math maths are built around threes rather
than tens so or whatever it is we do i'm not
a no maths guy that's another big thing that
they do yeah they go in quite in depth yeah they're
going quite in depth about stuff like that and
how rocky just cannot understand a computer there's
no like what on earth is this you know yeah and
then they get attached they meet They learn how
to, I'm so glad they did all that stuff with
the computer to learn how to each other's talk.
Because in the book, he gets given basically
an install file for every single computer program
ever created. So he uses like a DJ software,
music software to listen to the notes and give
it a note in his computer. And then he translates
those notes. excuse me into words and that's
how he does it and you kind of see that in the
film he's doing that he's creates this duct taped
laptop with a microphone on it and all kinds
of stuff so that's interesting because a couple
of the screenshots you see of the laptop is quite
obviously running something like a dj software
so i do yeah that's what he's doing yeah it does
make me wonder a lot about what the um director's
cut for this would be like yeah yeah I wonder
how much they did actually cut from it because
they realized they could, but how much of the
actual story they filmed for it. Yeah. One cool
thing about the ship is like, because they didn't
want to spend all their time trying to invent
science equipment that would work in zero gravity.
They created a centrifuge function of his ship.
One thing that isn't explained is like the ship
can't fly in that mode. So if the ship wants
to travel. He has to go into zero G mode. And
then when he wants to stay still to do science
stuff, he has to stop part of it decouples. And
then it starts spinning. But a really cool thing
is Rocky has got such good control of his ship.
He can make his ship match the orientation and
spin round the outside and attach. It's the funniest
scene in the entire film is. not well so yeah
him saying go back to your ship and he's real
are you kicking me off your ship that that's
wonderful but but the bit when he's just trying
to run away from the ship and every time he moves
it it moves with him it's just like this yeah
matches him perfectly yeah all right rocky's
trying to communicate with him from the other
side of space where was he can't talk so he has
a little robot that runs around the outside of
his ship is throws containers Yes. A ship. And
after the second one, Rocky obviously realises
that Ryan Gosling's character is a bit of an
idiot and he throws it so perfectly it goes straight
into the airlock just as Ryan Gosling opens up
the door and he just catches it in his hands
after a whole scene of him clambering around
trying to just get it in time. So the story then
just progresses of them doing science together
basically, doesn't it? it does yeah few science
mishaps and all kinds of stuff um one thing again
really brushed over but is really important point
is that they well they do say some of it how
all of rocky's people are all died as well because
they didn't know about space radiation and he
was protected because he was the engineer who
lived where the fuel was kept and they're using
astrophage as well so The astrophate protected
him from radiation, but none of his crewmates.
So all his crewmates died. And again, I don't
know if this is explained more in the book, but
there's one thing I would have liked them to
explain a little bit more was, is Rocky's race,
his species, is this the first spaceship they've
basically built to come and do this exploration?
Yes, because they didn't know anything about...
the time dilation of space travel so he goes
into quite an in -depth thing about how 11 years
in space for ryan gosling his whole journey is
20 or 30 years back on earth yes rocky doesn't
understand that so when rocky's like oh i'll
be home in four years he wouldn't be his relative
time is four years but back on whatever planet
he was from it's like 10. Yes. And there's a
whole bit of Ryan Gosling in the book explaining
it to Rocky and Rocky being like, what? So I
understand again why that's not in it, but you
just hear one line about it. I would have liked
that to have been in the film because actually,
as much as the film, you get Rocky basically.
seems to be much more intelligent than ryan gosling's
character when it comes to certain things and
it does the film i guess portrays more that rocky
is the greater of the mind so it would have been
nice to have seen ryan's grace having to explain
to rocky that one thing of which why don't you
get this you've got everything else why can you
not grasp this one one thing it's scientist and
engineer That's what they both are. Of course,
yeah. The aspects of Grace, Ryan Cousins' character,
is way more on the science side, whereas Rocky
is this genius engineer who can make anything
out of anything. Mostly whatever that mineral
was. Xenonite. Xenonite. Basically Xenonite is
what he uses for everything. Which is a really
good bit, how Xenonite is a gas and not a solid.
And Grace is like... how is this a sonnet? The
great scene where he opens the canister and just
smells, yeah, and he has a massive panic. He's
like, I can't believe I just did that, and chucks
it into the air thing. It's when he scans it
with the analyzer, and it says Xenon, and he's
like, well, this is clearly broken. He slashes
it across the room, and then literally... Then
he gets this memory back of him with the German
woman and the other scientists going, you know,
none of our equipment's going to work in space.
Okay, well, we'll invent new equipment. And he's
like, ah, yeah, I need to do that whole centrifuge
thing. And then still scans it. It's like, still
Zenon. And he chugs it again. Chugs it on the
ground. Yeah, the film was surprisingly funny.
It was surprisingly funny all the way through.
It had the Ryan Gosling humour that you see in
all of his stuff. And if you like that, you like
that. Let's very quick. So obviously we get through
all the sciencey bits. They end up at Tau Ceti
3. They come up with a plan to, well, they first
of all get a look at what's going on, don't they?
They collect a sample of the astrophage from
the planet to the sun, from the sun to the planet.
And they find that there is a predator cell in
there eating away the astrophage. Tau Neba. it's
never that's it tell me but it's never strong
enough to get all the way to the sun therefore
it's controlled so they then rocky creates a
collection thing out of zenonite with lots of
chains they somehow jerry -rig it to the outside
of the ship which again you've got to suspend
disbelief that Ryan Gosling on his own space
walking on his own, which he's only done three
or four times at that point had enough of the
ability to go outside and do all of this, but
you can't. Okay. So yeah, again, it's explained
in the book, they have to surf the atmosphere,
which is why you see them at this weird angle
kind of skimming along. I'm not even talking
about that bit. I'm talking about the fact that
they had. Oh, when he has to go out and get it.
And well, no. Before that, you see they've got
all of these reels of the chain that Rocky has
made, 50 ,000 feet or whatever it was of chain.
Yeah, they have to by hand put together. And
they've stuck it on the outside of the ship somehow.
Yeah, so I don't remember how that bit's explained,
but it is explained how he sits there for days
putting one link on at a time. But the thing
is, this film has been beautiful enough because
you can suspend all of the disbelief for it.
You just get it. Just one image, you just understand
he's been there a while. Exactly. So yeah, so
then they're surfing the atmosphere. They make
the collection. They nearly lose the collection.
Get it inside. Everything starts going wrong.
Hole in the fuel tank. Astrophage goes, oh my
God, yummy, yummy infrared stuff. Let's go. Pulls
them back down into the planet. And you get the
most heartbreaking scene in the entire film where
Rocky saves Grace's life by coming out of his
little crystal cocoon that he's made, this hamster
ball that he rolls around in and drags Grace
to safety, which is actually a bit we leapt over.
So when he meets Grace for the first time in
the ship, he says, we sleep together. You sleep
here. I normally sleep on your chest. Yeah, they
sleep in pairs, yeah. So they protect each other
because, again, Grace says later on when Rocky
is dead or maybe recovering, he realizes that
they've got no method of protection when they're
asleep. So they protect each other. So you get
this heartbreaking moment where you see Rocky
basically burning to death in the human atmosphere,
dragging Grace to the medical robot on the ship.
Yeah, because what happens is they get a hole
in there. in the fuel canister, which shoots
all of the, yeah, all the astrophase shoots out.
They go spinning, and the G -force is basically
knock, knock, grace out. It spins him so fast,
he ends up with gravity of above one. So Earth's
gravity is one. They spin too fast. You end up
with gravity that's too strong a gravity, and
basically, yeah, he gets pinned to the console.
He blacks out. He blacks out. Yeah, and it's
just the most moving scene. But anyway. um ryan
gosling sorry grace then tries to save rocky
rocky comes back to life during that time he's
managed to breed the towel amoeba which again
like you've already said you don't see any of
it it's just he's bred it they then get one more
problem but it's fine i'll just breed another
nitrogen version well the reason they have to
breed the nitrogen versions because that's the
they have to breed it the yeah the the atmosphere
for venus again that's really slightly touched
on but it's a big massive thing they have to
get it exactly right so when they send it back
to their to earth the nitrogen because and the
one that rocky needed was a different level so
i think they get his one done first and then
they have to keep going for the earth one it
was something like that yeah anyway that all
happens they get it they all they shake hands
and say goodbye to each other One more accident.
The astrophage has leaked through the Xenonite,
which they didn't realise would happen. No, not
the astrophage. The Talmiba has escaped. Sorry,
the Talmiba has escaped and goes on a hungry,
hungry, hungry time for the astrophage, nearly
wiping out his fuel again. But then he realises
that Rocky has zero chance. so he decides to
put all of after being saved by rocky and being
able to go home he decides to actually go and
save rocky instead sends all the data off batsworth
using the probes they were planning to do in
the first place and then he goes and rescues
rocky and they end up living on rocky's planet
rocky's planet and they've made a whole human
environment for him and made a beach because
if you remember early in the film he says he's
showing the beach is different every day yeah
and there's a few great jesus oh i really love
the fog it's like the water's either boiling
or freezing can you get in the middle you know
are you sure the daylight people are doing enough
it's like yes yes i love the greatness of the
fog yeah one of my favorite scenes is when there
rocky's watching him eat and he's like oh god
this is disgusting what you're doing with that
food and then he's like how do you eat and then
yeah and then rocky just grabs this like rocks
and shoves it up inside him and it's just like
kind of reminded me of the noises of the prawns
eating from yes district to put us into x -rated
territory rocky basically fists himself with
black good yeah it was hilarious Oh, it's wonderful.
Absolutely. Because you just see him put the
ramen down. He's like, I can't eat anymore after
seeing that. And it's a great full circle moment
at the end because Grace is now on the alien
planet, but he's a teacher again. And he's teaching
all the baby Rockies. And I love the fact that
Rocky comes and says, our scientists have said
they're ready to fix the Hail Mary. You can go
home. And he just goes. is there any rush about
that and even rocky's like no there's no rush
well the thing is rocky wants him there that
yeah get that idea that they've they've there's
this genuine friendship has has happened well
he doesn't want to the thing in the book he doesn't
want to go back in the pods to risk dying so
he has to face something like six years and that
was one of the reasons why they made the pods
was they did all these tests and it was basically
we're saying people go insane And then they kill
each other or kill themselves before they even
get there. But that's taken from real science
and that's been used in God knows how many sci
-fi films. Alien, for example, the reason that
they're always in hypersleep for that is because
the 6, 10, 20 years of travel would drive you
insane. Yeah. Even Red Dwarf did. Yeah, Red Dwarf
did it. Yeah, yeah. but you think about it as
well like what i've always tried to interrupt
what i've always thought about the alien ones
i might have mentioned it one one time before
they like oh blah blah's got like a wife and
daughter well he's just been in hypersleep for
20 years what how many years have just happened
on the planet he's from in that 20 years it's
never properly concluded but you kind of get
the idea that the people that are doing these
all their money just goes to their family because
they know they're never going to see their family
again and what what do they need money for they
have these dreams of what their future is going
to be but realistically they know that they're
never going to really leave the firm they're
never going to really leave um well you can't
it's just you can't leave them getting you in
that stuff well according to Alien Romulus, yeah.
It seems that you're contracted in and they're
pretty evil. The thing about it, if you were
a horrible person, you could be like, send your
partner off to go do whatever. Now, the rest
of your life, you're going to be getting their
paycheck. You can now go off and meet someone
else. You'll have a paycheck from this person
that you just married because you knew they were
going to go off and you would never see them
again because they're going to be gone for 80
years. Or you could go and have multiple partners.
Get them all sent off. Anyway, that's not Project
Hail Mary. That's a different comment. So that's
the story. It really is a space thriller action.
A little bit of romance even in there because
the friendship between him and Rocky is more
than just a friendship. It's really almost like...
Becoming a family together. It's a bromance,
definitely a bromance. Oh, 100 % in there. A
little bit of a horror in there. I'm going to
say horror for the pure reason that Andy Weir
managed to land on something that you cannot
really get out of your mind. Thinking, what would
we actually do if the sun started to dim? What
would we actually do in this circumstance if
something like this really happened? Well, look,
we can get political on it. We can get political
on it now. The stuff happening to the planet
right now, people aren't doing anything about
it because it's very much like it's not going
to happen in our lifetime. I think the thing
that pushes it forwards in that is that it is
going to happen. It's pushed in the book that
they have got a very small window of like 30
years or something. 30 years. And this trip entirely
was going to take something like 22 of Earth
years. so they're like you have to go and do
it now you have to didn't she say as well so
they're like it's 30 years and then when she's
trying to persuade him that he's the one to go
she basically said i basically doubled those
numbers to make it seem like it was something
achievable realistically we haven't got that
hence the reason when the probe and stuff gets
back to them and she's like let's get going again
it's it's basically nuclear winter there's just
it's it's a full -on ice age again yeah they
already will have had loads of people die on
earth and there's nothing that like he wasn't
slow it still went back within the time frame
as far as i can remember from the book and it
kind of implies that in the film too but it doesn't
matter because she lied about how much time but
at least some people will be saved this is it
they will save some of the world and they will
be able to bring it back to where we were as
long as something is done based on if he finds
an answer because Again, the whole point of the
film being called Hail Mary is because no one
else has any idea what to do. No one else has
come up with an idea. Yeah. Okay, so that was
the story. God, where do you want to go about
it? Because I've got so much I could say about
it. It's just, where do you start? Well, we touched
on a few points as we've been going along. But
it's... i one of the best bits about it i think
was the was the score it was really it was like
its own character you know it really did a good
job at giving and giving you emotion and being
completely silent at points that it needed to
be silent you know and i would argue not just
the score but the the full -on the sound full
stop so i know we're talking about points where
you've got this beautiful orchestral background
music going on or even not just the background
but the everything about the the orchestral straws
but what about the sounds that rocky made it
just felt perfect it just felt absolutely natural
yeah he speak he speaks in music which is great
and his ship like plays music as he's walking
on everything is sound so it was just Even just
walking around his ship just sounded brilliant
when you get to see it. He has a little machine,
doesn't he? A weird gemstone on the end of a
stick which translates images into kind of a
weird pad thing that he can see with his eyes.
He gives texture to things in the head of him
so he can see a computer screen because a computer
screen has no texture so he can't echolocate
on it. But this machine reads it. and then gives
him almost like a braille thing in front of him
but for sound yes because obviously again you
get that wonderful moment where grace i'm showing
you a clock why can't you echo location you've
got no eyes yeah and then he goes and sticks
the tape on it and he's like rocky suddenly explodes
with excitement amaze amaze amaze numbers numbers
i know this i know this um the entire language
and what they chose for rocky speaking as well
was perfect now there will be people out there
going oh well it's very unbelievable that within
the period of time they were they came up with
this entire ability to have dialogue like this
don't care really don't care they left them a
long time in the book yeah they look what they
left it limited enough things like um again things
like amaze amaze amaze or question Grumpy, angry,
stupid. How long since last seat? Question. Or
statement. Yeah, he has to explain to Rocky he
has to sleep every certain amount of hours. And
Rocky's like, what? I sleep like once a week
or something or like once a month. They don't
really sleep. But when they sleep, they sleep
for a long time. And yeah, that's what it's like.
Well, how do I know when you need sleep? And
he says to him, oh, because I'll get grumpy.
I get stupid. And that's why he makes that comment.
Are you grumpy, stupid? Yeah. You're being grumpy
and stupid. You need sleep. But there are so
many quotes from this film. And I'm using IMDb
here, not because I'm being lazy and I can't
remember. It's just because I want to get them
just absolutely right. And there's the bit where,
basically, Grace here is knocking at the door.
It's like, what the fuck's going on? He's literally
just got to met Rocky on his own ship at their
little window. He's gone back to say, right,
I need to kind of... process what's going on.
Then all of a sudden he's hearing knocking at
the airlock door and in rolls Rocky in this kind
of hamster ball thing. And they're flying around
the ship and you've just got Rocky going, dirty,
dirty, dirty, dirty. Why room so messy? Question.
I wasn't expecting company, was I? Ah, this room
for garbage. Oh. Absolutely. Just absolutely
just made me crease up. Fist my bump. Well, yeah,
fist my bum. That's not something we say. Yeah.
Again, the very end, towards the very end. And
it's the most beautiful thing, even though it's
bad English, and it's meant to be. Rocky watch
whole crew die. Rocky not fix. Grace say grace
will die. Rocky fix. It's just the most beautiful
part of that bit, because it just shows that...
They've had, or Andy Weir, I guess, had the ability
just to say, well, just because there's this
alien race and there's no, they're not the same,
they don't look the same, they don't act the
same, they don't speak the same. He's managed
to build a relationship that's so totally believable.
Yeah, I like this one. Rocky says, I have an
idea. First, no crash, then no explode. Deal?
Yeah, I like that one. That was brilliant. Grace
got mate. Oh, no, no, she left me for a bloke
called Rocky Hate Mark. Yeah, Rocky Hate Mark,
yeah. It's like, yes, that's just... Oh, but
there's so many lines in it, isn't there? There's
the bit when, basically, they turn up at the
school, take him away, and he's the first person
to contact with the astrophage, and he's in a
room full of argon. And you've got all these
world leaders and the German leader in a sealed
off room. And it's like, am I expendable? Am
I expendable? It's like, why have you turned
around to talk to them? Why are you asking them?
They discuss, yeah, they discuss with each other
whether it's expendable. And it even just goes
back to the consensus here is that it would be
preferable if you did not die. Yeah. And she
makes them all clap all the time. Do you know
this as well? Every time he did something, she
was like, clap, and then they all start clapping
for him. It's like he needs to have it, yeah.
Yeah, I've got to say, there is something, and
it's not a big part of the film, although it
is a really big part of the film because it's
why Grace actually is allowed to continue doing
what he's doing and gets brought to the ship.
that they're all working from, and that is the
discovery of him accidentally breeding Astrophage.
Now, it's a massive moment in the film, but my
God, the reaction, the writing, and I don't know
what it's like in the book, but on screen, the
connection between Grace and Carl. cull from
um the fbi or the government or whatever he is
this one security bloke that has left working
with him it's just wonderful because there's
this this absolutely just brilliantly conveyed
it's just like we need to go shopping have you
got a credit card yes and off they go and then
they're pratting around in the shop and there's
the the cashier moment there's a we are the gun
which one all of them yeah well that's it not
explained too well i don't think that aspect
like ava is like appointed by the world to be
in charge of it um i think and she basically
breaks all laws all the way through and i think
in the book she goes to prison or they're saying
to her basically when this mission's off i'm
going to be in jail yeah i probably you know
I'm going to be going to prison for like not
war crimes, but you know, the level of breaking
every UN law and every NATO rule completely.
She doesn't, she does because her point was she
was appointed to save the planet and she had,
she can go to any country she wants and be in
charge. And she does and upsets everyone while
doing it. Yeah. Now. Okay. So we have often,
often, often, often criticized films for just
being purely CGI. Now. I'm pretty sure this entire
film is CGI. Obviously, graces and the sets,
a large proportion of the sets aren't. But wow,
did they get space looking good. At no point.
The ships looked good. I believed everything.
There was no point watching that did I think,
well, they've really done a nice job with the
CGI on that planet or that Petrova line there
looks really fancy. I wonder how long it took
them to render that. Never crossed my mind. I
was like, no, that's real. This is a documentary.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a documentary
in 4K. You know what I mean? So this happened.
It was 2005. We had a really wicked winter. Now
I know why it was so cold and snowy. No, this
is what happened during COVID when we were all
inside. This was happening on the outside. This
was the real reason why we had to stay in because
the sun was going dark. Yeah, we weren't allowed
to see it. But the point is, yeah, it's just,
it looked, it sounded. I mean, Ryan Gosling,
like you said, he's known for the slapstick comedy.
I mean, the last one, let's see, the Fall Guy
comedy film, Ken and Barbie comedy film. To get
him in a semi -serious role while also being
allowed to be funny. It was just the perfect
role for him. I couldn't imagine anyone else
in that position. I really couldn't. I mean,
I know he hasn't just done comedy films. Don't
get me wrong. I know he hasn't. But he is good
at doing funny, but he is good at doing acting
as well. And the fact that they let him do both
in this, it really was a thing of beauty. It
really, really was just good. I genuinely cannot
see this film not... winning awards for everything
the thing is it's it's it's kind of released
just after all the rewards hasn't it so it's
going to be forgotten about by the time it gets
the awards again and it deserves every all the
praise it gets and i hope people do go see it
because it's it's sci -fi how you want sci -fi
to be it's funny as well and it's just yeah it's
I said to Miranda when I got home, it's one of
the best sci -fis I have watched in a very long
time. And you and me watch a lot of sci -fi and
I'm trying not to use like, you know, a bias
because I've just watched it. You know, what's
that called? Like a recent bias or whatever.
Try my best to not be that way. But this film
is absolutely brilliant. I love the book anyway.
This has just made me love the book even more
and the story more. I want to see it again. Yeah.
I mean, I am seeing it again. I've told Gem how
much I loved it and that my words to her were,
if I wasn't recording this tonight and had plans
with the kids, I would have blown them all off
to go to the cinema again this evening. I genuinely
want to see it again that much just to see what
I missed the first time round. And you're right,
there is very little negative I can bring up
about it. I mean, if I want to be picky... I
would argue that he would definitely not be a
teacher if he's that willing to tell children
we're all going to die, basically when they start
asking him questions and he finally gives in
and explains exactly what's going on, absolutely
ruining those children's lives that day. And
I would also say, as much as I know it's not
a believable film because he's basically, we're
talking about near light speed. an imaginary
species and all sorts of things but he's got
memory loss yet he still remembers all the science
kind of believable because what it is the drug
i was trying to work out was a drug called midazolam
where you give it to your patient but it stops
them a lot bit like rehypnol it stops them forming
um memories so it doesn't affect long -term memory
but short -term memory it stops you from forming
short -term memory so waking up not having any
memory absolutely makes sense but he's never
learned to pilot the ship he didn't have time
they blew the ships up he then got told you are
our answer you are my get out of jail freezer
you are the one that's going in their space he
even said i haven't done any of the astronaut
stuff and it's like it doesn't matter you're
going to be asleep we just need a scientist but
he's capable of flying and he works what knows
what all the buttons in the cockpit does If I'm
going to be really anal, that's what I would
pick up on this. How does he know how the cockpit
and everything works? Well, that's it. I think
it's because they just made the point that he's
been there present in every single briefing and
every single moment all the way through just
because he has been. He's been part of the building
of the ship, hasn't he? Yeah. The ship's already
built. But when they get him involved, I think,
or partially, they just didn't know how they
were going to fuel it. Oh, OK. So the film doesn't
have that. The film makes it sound like we're
building the ship from scratch for you to go.
Yeah, I can't really remember. There's a lot
of it already kind of done and ready to go. That's
why he's like, you can't just build a ship and
like, no, we can. It's done. Next. OK. Make it
work. No, that's fine. OK, fine. But my argument
would still be. he's not had enough time to learn
about every single thing in that. And that is
me being really anal. That's not me going, I
hated it or I disliked it because of that one
scene. Not at all. I couldn't give a shit about
that because the film was so good, I absolutely
didn't think about it at the time. Well, that's
a bit of a loophole, isn't it? I mean, you could
go for a loophole. Rocky's ship would have been
the better ship for them to take, especially
if Rocky could make him his own spacesuit out
of the glass stuff. surely rocky shit would have
been better to take because it seemed to be bigger
stronger and probably more capable which also
would have given rocky access to all the equipment
he needed to make the collection device and everything
else yeah so there's there's choices that were
made and oh that's sorry just to interrupt i
just did search about the nuclear thing um one
of the reasons why she goes to prisons because
she uses 241 nukes to release methane into the
atmosphere to warm the planet back up oh okay
yeah because they tried force global warming
to help heat the planet so she blows up a lot
of methane yeah yeah so i got the nuclear propulsion
thing wrong i kind of i remembered there was
nukes i must be thinking about a different film
that uses it but i guess the point of the film
is If you want to look at the Hollywood equation,
I guess, you have one bad guy and you're very
close for Eva, the German scientist, the person
leading it. You're already at the point of when
he finally ends up in space and seeing that she's
basically forced him, holds him down and puts
him to sleep. That's making a second bad guy.
And I guess including that in the film, you're
making an even bigger bad guy, which... then
makes you question, well, why would anyone want
to do anything for her if she's so evil in what
she does? She just makes people do things. Yeah.
So I kind of understand why they didn't include
that, because you don't need an additional storyline
going on in a film like this for the general
viewers. I think her character... It's portrayed
much more human in the film than in the book.
In the book, she is very much, it's really hard
to explain. Imagine like the worst person, like
let's say Hitler as an example. But rather than
wanting to do all those horrible things, they're
doing them for actually a genuine real good reason.
And the genuine real good reason is. saving the
entire world's population. Obviously, Hitler
wanted to kill people. She will do anything that
means the greater good of the people on Earth
surviving and the human race surviving. Like
blowing up all those nukes, causing catastrophic,
unfixable damage to the planet's atmosphere.
Global warming. But it keeps the planet that
few degrees warmer for a little few more years
to give the ship more time. She's doing what
bureaucracy would prevent. So if we put it to
the world leaders, this is what we need to do,
you're giving someone the chance to say, no,
I think that's a bad idea. Whereas when you know
this is the only option, you can't afford for
people to say this is a bad idea when it's the
only option you have. Yeah, like dictators will
be doing stuff to their countries or whatever
for their selfish reasons. She's not. She's doing
all the things for unselfish reasons, but still
comes across as this very cold, extremely intelligent,
calculating woman. It's not even me. Yeah, it's
not as black and white as you might think it
is. Yeah, and it's not for the betterment of
the world, it's for the saving of the world.
That's the key point, isn't it? Whereas dictators
often doing it for the betterment of their country,
in quote marks, it's actually, as you say, very
selfish, whereas everything that's been done
for this film is for the survival of the human
race. Exactly. What we kind of didn't explain,
because we kind of did the story in order, didn't
we, with this is happening, science, space. if
you haven't seen the film what you really need
to understand is it is not in order so the main
part of the story of him being in space doing
this discovery and doing doing the world saving
stuff is interconnected with all these flashbacks
of his memory returning again in order so the
beginning and so the beginning up to halfway
and let's say that's the the sun is going dark
to making the discovery in the spaceship launch
and then the waking up in space and then saving
the world they're two separate stories basically
you've got that first bit and you've got the
second bit now what they've done is they've put
them on top of each other cut them up and interconnected
it so the first the top story of the world being
saved which is what everyone is there for is
the main one you're watching but that first story
about how everything started is just all his
memory returning and i thought that was an absolutely
brilliant way of doing it rather than because
i don't genuinely don't think it would have worked
doing it in order no well how they do it that's
how it's done in the book is the book starts
off with the robot touching him up they've done
it in the exact same order yeah and um yeah i
mean you could you could change it so you didn't
have the You could explain away the memory loss
and then a few days later, oh, now this has been
remembered and so on. I just don't see any way
it would have worked. The way it's been written
was perfect. It really, really made the story
work. Whereas if you tried to tell the story
from point A to point B, rather than doing point
B to C to E to D to A and then back to F at the
end. it works for this going from a to e or a
to b in the straight line would not have worked
for this story yeah it would have been boring
it would have dragged and people would have been
lost for the first hour and then the final hour
and a half they're going to go oh fine it's starting
to pick up yeah oh we've been talking about an
hour over an hour now So would you recommend
it? I wouldn't. No, shit. Yeah, terrible film.
Yeah, definitely terrible. Watch it when it's
free on Netflix. No, go see this film. Go and
see it. I've only recently seen Interstellar
last year. It was the first time I've ever seen
Interstellar. This pisses all over Interstellar.
And I thought Interstellar was amazing. This
absolutely urinates on it from a great height,
in my opinion. Yeah, Interstellar is a great
film, but for slightly different reasons, really.
Interstellar, I think, can be a bit of a mind
slog. Whereas this one, you are engaged. At the
beginning, I did not realise that was two and
a half hours. That went so fast that I just...
Had no idea that was two and a half hours. I
adored this film. Best sci -fi I've seen in a
very long time. We watched a lot of sci -fi.
I cannot wait to see this film again. Yeah, I
can't. It's going to be a Blu -ray. But I said
as soon as we walked outside, didn't I? This
is on pre -order as of this morning on Blu -ray
from Amazon. It'll turn up on release. Yeah,
I think it'll be the first Blu -ray I've brought
in a long time as well because I might buy myself
one too. So yeah, I think that's it. We've said
enough. sorry that we we missed so much we have
oh there's we could keep talking but i mean sorry
this isn't like a normal episode we're supposed
to be doing bride of frankenstein but that's
