How We Seeez It! Episode 333, Project Hail Mary (2026)

“This might seem like me betraying you, but this is actually me believing in you.” -Eva Stratt

Another Andy Weir book adaptation. Like the last one, this is a stranded-in-space science adventure epic with heart. Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller do an incredible job bringing the book to life. Ryan Gosling as Grace and James Ortiz as Rocky have wonderful chemistry, even when they’re not doing actual science.

How We Seeez It! Episode 330, Wake Up Dead Man

“You're right. It's storytelling. The rites and the rituals. Costumes, all of it. It's storytelling. I guess the question is, do these stories convince us of a lie? Or do they resonate with something deep inside us that's profoundly true, that we can't express any other way except storytelling?” — Father Jud

Another Knives Out movie. Rian Johnson brings back Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc for another whodunit. Josh O’Connor is incredible as Father Jud, and Josh Brolin is great as Monsignor Wicks. It’s different in style from the other Knives Out movies, but it still brings some of the same flair that made the others so enjoyable.
