Ep-73 The Martian (2015 film)

Director Ridley Scott delivered an uplifting version of Andy
Weir’s THE MARTIAN, doing the book justice in many ways. Matt
Damon makes for a compelling Mark Watney, and even brings a
little something to the role that James & Luke found lacking
in the novel. The incredible ensemble cast also consists of
Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Donald Glover, Kate Mara, Sebastian
Stan, Mackenzie Davis, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels, Kristin
Wiig, Michael Piña, and Benedict Wong.

Topics: Watching the extended edition, Barack Obama’s taste in
movies, Andy Weir’s surprising phobia, Glorfindel and the Council
of Elrond, the challenges of conveying alternate gravity, the
surprising definition of Watney’s choice of profanity, the
salt-shaker trope, and the potential weaknesses with the changes
made to the ending of the story.

And stick around for the end where Ink to Film’s next project is
announced!
