We’re back with more Matt Damon! Join us this week as we talk about stranded astronaut Mark Watney, who just wants to go home in The Martian. But first, he’s gonna have to science the shit out of this.
Jake and Marshall explore how this movie fits into Damon’s “home” filmography and how it works when viewed through Christopher Nolan’s work. Grab those headphones, and help us bring Matt Damon home.
