Spoilers ahead!

Matt Watterworth and Megan Westelmajer return for episode two and share sci-fi favourites, including Contact, Arrival, E.T., Metropolis, and Her, plus discussion of the documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune and spoiler-heavy trailers. They recap Project Hail Mary Chapter 2 as the amnesiac protagonist reasons through centrifuge gravity to confirm he’s in space, wears a makeshift toga, and survives on packaged “goo” food while fragmented flashbacks introduce discussions of The Petrova Line dimming the sun, with projections that a 5% loss could be world-ending and setting up bigger mission questions for chapter three.
