In Episode 91, Gen and Jette dive into another book to film adaptation with a discussion of The Martian. We love a well done adaptation and Ridley Scott's film does Andy Weir's book full justice. Plus, we got to indulge our inner space nerd.
Show Notes
The cast is stacked in this film and rewatching it was a fun exercise in exclaiming, "I forgot they were in this!"
We didn't just nerd out over space science. The cinematography of the Martian landscape is swoon worthy. Shout out to cinematographer Dariusz Wolski.
