Season 2, Episode 11 of Taps & Takes moves fast, but the center of this episode is a full spoiler review of Project Hail Mary. Drew Hyatt and the crew burn through a stack of nerd news first, then lock in on why the movie works, how it compares to the book, what got left out, and why the ending hits so hard. If you already saw the film and want a real spoiler-heavy conversation about Rocky, Ryland Grace, the adaptation choices, and the emotional payoff, this is the episode.

For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a conversation-driven show built around chemistry, opinions, and real back-and-forth, and Taps & Takes is the Friday version focused on nerd news, trailers, sports, and whatever else takes over the table that day. This episode is live from Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub, with Drew Hyatt and the Do-Over crew, including Barbress Jess & Val, as the conversation runs through the live-action Moana trailer, a Mario movie spoiler tease, Welcome to Derry and Pennywise lore, Wolverine game hype, a bizarre Street Fighter 6 reveal, Michael B. Jordan’s reported Miami Vice salary ask, Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider, and the huge early record set by the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer while Dune keeps building momentum.

The back half keeps the pace up with Royce’s Words, where a story about Reacher star Alan Ritchson getting into a motorcycle-related altercation turns into a bigger conversation about consequences and people forgetting where the line is. From there, it shifts into March Madness Sweet 16 talk, NFL contract headlines, Travis Kelce’s extension, and full MLB opening day predictions, including division winners, wild-card picks, and a Dodgers vs. Mariners World Series call.
