Andy Weir

I am so happy for her that, like, Spider-Verse has paid off for her.

She did Little Women.

She did Challengers.

She's just, like, been making, like, Pascal productions.

And now she's going to be on the James Bond movies.

Like, so, like, Amy Pascal, like, from the ashes sort of rise for her.

A strange woman parodied in the studio by the great Catherine O'Hara, like, absolutely.

But, like, has a great eye for talent.

And so, like, the Pascal, Goddard, Lourda Miller, Gosling...

Andy Weir being quite involved, which he'll talk about in our interview with him.

Like, that whole mix is so important.

But I just, like... Yeah.

I love the... The timeline is that, like, all of those people were in place before the book was even published.

And that's, like, people... People...

Optioning the rights to a book before it's published happens all the time in Hollywood.

But like having the whole team in place.

That's wild.

That is like extremely rare and very cool.

And like, again, I don't, I just don't, I don't want to like completely, I have this like bad tendency to like jump on interviews that happen at the end of the podcast.

So I do like, I want to let Andy tell the story, but like he didn't talk about a lot of the specifics of the puppetry, which as you know, I'm always eager to talk about.
