Greetings, and welcome to House of R. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. We're not usually here on Fridays. It's true. Except when we're doing Talk of Thrones. Sometimes we are here on Fridays. We're a Ringerverse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin. Joining me today to fist my bump. It's Joanna Robinson.
Fist bump, buddy. Fist bump.
Mary. I know. I'm so excited. It is finally Project Hail Mary time. It's not just me here today, though, right? No. We're going to do a deep dive and chat about this movie that we loved. Spoiler. Chat about this book that we have loved. Spoiler. And then who will we be hearing from at the end of this podcast?
Andrew, does he ever go by Andrew? I don't know. One Mr. Andy Weir is here. He does now. Andy Weir, will we look different in different clothing and different hair? Don't worry about it. It was definitely filmed today, that interview with Andy Weir.
We're in different outfits. My hair is, I'd say, the same, which is to say increasingly gray. Your hair might be different, though. You like to mix it up. Find out.
What can we expect from the Project Hail Mary adaptation?
After this. After this.
All right, Jo. Yes. The Andy Weir chat will be at the end of the episode today. So everybody, please stay tuned for that. We genuinely had a great time chatting with him about not just this adaptation and his work, but honestly, kind of just like space nerd stuff. We talked a little Star Wars. We talked a little Doctor Who. Nerd stuff go. Nerd stuff go. I mean, always here. Witch stuff go. Nerd stuff go. Witches, be gone. No, stay. Yeah, be stay. Yeah, be stay. Peace day, witches. Programming reminders before we get into the deep dive?
Great question. We've got... A bunch of people have been asking us to break down the Dune and Spidey trailers, which we will be doing. That's right. Did they drop a little earlier than we expected? Yes. They did. But we will be getting to that. We will also be checking in on Daredevil. That's right. That's launching next week.
That's right.
So we've got all that on the horizon.
Yes.
We've got more... Chris Nolan movies to get to before The Odyssey is here.
We sure do. We're months away.
I know, wild stuff. Very exciting. And then, despite the fact that the reboot is canceled, we will be continuing up pace with our Buffy rewatch. Mallory has watched- They can't stop us. Most of, not all of, but most of season four.
Yeah, I only have a couple episodes left.
So the word stevedore does mean something to you now. So that's exciting. Sure.
Boy, does it. You received some texts from me about that. If you're wondering, how can I follow along- Guess what? Normally, we say the same shit about that. We've got an update. You can, of course, follow the pod, right?
How do the hosts feel about Andy Weir's work?
Follow House of R on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can watch full video episodes of House of R and the Midnight Boys pew-pew on Ringiverse. Great stuff. And on the Ringiverse YouTube channel. But guess what? We have new social handles. So you can follow... houseofourpod, that is houseofourpod on Instagram and TikTok.
It's very exciting. Mallory has a big project coming up that we're hoping to document on social media. I don't want to say anything specifically about it, but it's very exciting. And we would love for you to be with us every step of the way. So how's the VAR pod?
Yeah, we've got some ideas cooking for what we're going to get up to on the old Instagram and TikTok. It's going to be fun. Also, the inbox is always open. HobbitsandDragons.gmail.com. Send us your thoughts on Buffy Season 4, on the beginning of Daredevil, on the recent Spidey and Dune trailers. Anything else that's coming up? Maul Shadowlord. What else is coming up soon? Anything else that's airing this spring or if you want to start emailing us about things this summer, great. Do it. We'd love to hear from you. Send us all of your thoughts on Rocky, even though we're talking about the movie today. We want all of your Rocky emails. Spoiler warning. I mean, it's an obvious one today. If it's in the film, Project Hail Mary, which just came out, we can talk about it today.
