Headgum // Overdue: Ep 750 - Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir
Ep 750 - Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir
5/11/2026
In the not-so-distant future, Andy Weir will write a novel about a Competent Man getting into trouble and then getting himself out. Then it will be made into a major motion picture starring a relatively bankable movie star. Then Overdue will (probably) read the book. That's what happened with The Martian, and that is what's happening this week with Project Hail Mary -- a novel about a science teacher on a mission to save Earth (and maybe some other planets) from an otherworldly threat.
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
