The story follows Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher who awakens aboard an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. Pre-production began in 2020, before Weir's novel was published. Filming took place throughout 2024 in the United Kingdom, both on location and on sets.

It received positive reviews, with praise for Lord and Miller's direction, Gosling's performance, the character of Rocky, as well as the humor, themes and visuals. It was a commercial success, grossing over $685 million worldwide and becoming the . Plot In the near future, middle school teacher and former Ryland Grace wakes up from an on the Hail Mary, suffering from amnesia. Grace learns that he is the sole survivor of a three-person crew that was traveling towards the system, 11.9 from Earth. In a series of flashbacks, Grace recalls that scientists discovered a "Petrova line" of stretching from the to ; an alien microbe in the line, dubbed "astrophage", was proliferating on the Sun's surface, dimming the Sun at a rate that would cause catastrophic within thirty years. The head of the Petrova Taskforce, Eva Stratt, recruited Grace to study it due to his background in speculative . Grace experimented on a sample and discovered that astrophage was composed of that absorb from the Sun and expel it for . Grace joined Stratt's Project , an international "long-shot" mission to send a crewed spacecraft to Tau Ceti, the only star in Earth's not occluded by astrophage. The flight to Tau Ceti would be a , as the ship could only carry enough fuel for a one-way trip; any findings would have to return to Earth in smaller . In the present, Grace encounters an alien spacecraft that docks with the Hail Mary. It is made of a solid form of , which Grace dubs "xenonite". The ship's occupant is a rock-like, five-legged alien from Erid, a planet in the system. Grace names the alien "Rocky", deduces that Eridians "see" via , and creates a system to interpret Rocky's language into English. Rocky is a and the sole survivor of the Eridians' mission to save their own star from astrophage infection. Grace and Rocky agree to work together, and become close friends. As neither can survive in the other's atmosphere, Rocky works aboard the Hail Mary inside a pressurized ball of xenonite. Grace and Rocky study the Petrova line of the planet , which Grace names "Adrian", and discovers that the line hosts an entire . Rocky theorizes that microbial organisms in Adrian's atmosphere are consuming the astrophage, keeping the population in check. Learning that Grace cannot return home, Rocky offers to share some of his own ship's astrophage fuel with the Hail Mary. Grace remembers that an astrophage explosion killed the original crew's science officers. With no time to train replacements, Stratt asked Grace to join the mission. During a risky maneuver to gather the astrophage predator from Adrian's atmosphere, a fuel leak causes the Hail Mary to , rendering Grace unconscious. Rocky breaks out of his ball to save Grace but is severely injured. While Rocky recovers, Grace studies the captured astrophage predator, dubbing it "taumoeba" and it to survive the in Venus's atmosphere. Rocky revives, and the two celebrate their success; Grace recalls that he fearfully refused to join the Hail Mary crew, but Stratt had him anyway, believing he was the only one capable of completing the mission. Rocky and Grace say their goodbyes and begin their journeys back home. Shortly thereafter, Grace discovers that the taumoeba has evolved to escape its xenonite breeding tanks and is starting to consume Hail Mary's astrophage fuel. Grace stops the taumoeba leak, but realizes that Rocky's ship, being entirely made of xenonite, will have no way to contain the taumoeba; it will eat all of Rocky's fuel, stranding him and dooming Erid. Grace decides to use his remaining fuel to rescue Rocky and the Eridians rather than return home, and sends his video logs and taumoeba samples to Earth via the probes. Stratt and her team receive the probes and use the taumoeba to cure the Sun's astrophage infection. Meanwhile, on Erid, Grace lives in an Earth-like the Eridians have constructed for him. Rocky informs him that Eridian scientists can prepare the Hail Mary for the return voyage to Earth. Grace ponders the news before beginning another day of teaching science to eager Eridian children.

Audiences polled by gave the film an "A" on an A+ to F scale. The film received an average rating of 8 out of 10 from . G. Allen Johnson of the deemed it "a masterpiece of a family popcorn movie, with eye-popping hand-crafted production design and outstanding creature design and puppetry work." Randy Myers of gave the film a 3.5/4 rating, writing: "While you can't help but marvel at the visuals and applaud the commitment of Gosling's endearing performance, what also makes Project Hail Mary so gosh darn lovable is that it imbues us with child-like wonder from scenes that pay homage to such classics as , and, yes, ." of Ryland Grace with a fan-created Rocky prop at 2026 of concluded in his review: "Does it have many original ideas of its own? Perhaps not. But its greatest hits mixtape of other people's has been compiled with such flair – as well as a sound comprehension of why they worked so well the first time – that it's hard not to be swept up regardless." Barry Hertz of shared a similar opinion, writing: "At almost every turn, Project Hail Mary attempts to convince you that it is groundbreaking, innovative filmmaking. But in actuality, the movie lands as a grand act of cinematic recycling – the fusing together of familiar, comforting bits and pieces into something determined to please crowds and warm hearts." of the wrote: "While 's unsentimental inspired the iPad, Lord and Miller want to inspire a better version of us." Brian Truitt of gave the film a four out of four rating, writing that "Project Hail Mary is one of those old-school popcorn movies with big ideas, the kind of film that and would have made back in the day and kids of all ages would have obsessed over and bought the toys." Ryan Cooper of wrote that the film portrayed a "shockingly realistic view of heroism" and was "one of the rare films that is quite a bit better than the book". of wrote: "Gosling is an effortlessly charming screen player, and he keeps it watchable, though the film itself has moments of dullness and a sort of puppyish silliness [...] Perhaps refreshingly, the film doesn't aim for the stunned awe and rapture of, say, 's or even ' underrated , but it does have the classic sci-fi spacecraft tropes: the huge, mysterious architecture with its vertiginous tunnels in which legacy pop music is played to soothe the inhabitants." anthropology professor praised Grace's intellectual humility in the film. Nicholas Barber of the declared it one of the best films of 2026, writing: Project Hail Mary is an unusual science-fiction blockbuster in that it's mostly about people using their brains to solve problems [...] Does that approach sound a bit dry and academic? If so, rest assured that Project Hail Mary is touching and inspiring – and surprisingly fun [...] it's directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who take a complicated, potentially bleak narrative and make it as fast-paced and cheerful as their animated hit . Meanwhile, Ryan Gosling brings all of his goofball charm to the role of an amnesiac biologist who is trying to save the world. Conversely, of called it "not a very good movie", adding that "it's baggy and incredibly derivative of movies you've seen before [...] More crucially, everything to do with the onboard alien is far too cute and formulaic".

A mysterious artifact. A forgotten life. A Doctor on the edge of rediscovery.In this week’s Traveling the Vortex, Glenn dives into The Kaleidoscope, Jo Martin’s ambitious Fugitive Doctor novel that blends cosmic danger with cultural depth and identity‑driven storytelling. It’s a tale of buried memories, ancestral echoes, and the forces determined to keep the Doctor from learning who she truly is.

This is our third and final look back at The Daleks' Masterplan, its novelizations, and recovered episodes. We hope you've enjoyed this series. Paul Ebbs is a first-time guest but long-time friend of the show, and he discusses his Doctor Who fandom and fiction-writing career, and he and Jason compare their many mutual (likes and) dislikes.

Mark from Trap One contributes a guest review of the two Masterplan novelizations.

There are some TV shows that are perfectly suited to Alternate Galaxies. And then there’s The X-Files, a show that Rob has loved since it first hit Australian television in 1994, watched from beginning to end multiple times, and spent his university years discussing with strangers on the early Internet. The problem? It’s over 200 episodes long, and Dave had somehow managed to go through the entire 1990s, the 2000s, the 2010s and most of the 2020s without watching it. 

So, we needed a plan.

That plan has been to throw Dave into the deep end - but only six episodes deep to start with. Rob has picked six stories from the first four seasons that don't require you to know the show's mythology, while trying to give Dave a proper taste of the enormous tonal range of The X-Files. There are monsters, Satanists, serial killers, psychic phenomena and alien abductions, but also some extremely funny episodes where the show gleefully takes the piss out of itself. Dave then immediately broke the rules by watching a seventh episode, because apparently six episodes of homework wasn't enough.

Our selections take us from the early monster-of-the-week classic Squeeze, through the Satanic weirdness of Die Hand Die Verletzt, the melancholy brilliance of Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, the genuinely harrowing Oubliette, the gloriously bonkers Jose Chung's From Outer Space and finally the dark serial-killer story Paper Hearts. 

We'll keep Dave's rougue choice a secret for now. 

Did you watch the X-Files back in the day? Have you watched it since? What do you think of Rob's episode choices? Which ones would you have given Dave?

Friends! We are back! Thank you for waiting an extra week and change so Taylor could go guest star on Stitches in Time (look for that late October, early November) and now we're ready to review The Infinite Quest...which is not itself infinite, but rather a quest for something called The Infinite! And, for something designed to be 13 little three minute long segments and aired on Totally Doctor Who (like, radical, man!)...it leaves us wanting. Wanting to go watch Treasure Planet instead (great film!). But you know us, we'll cherry pick the best parts.

Glenn reviews 'Coda - The Final Act', a reality‑bending finale that brings the Fugitive Doctor and the War Doctor to the world of Coda, where hidden forces push two forgotten incarnations toward a mythic confrontation. The Final Act delivers a bold, emotional close to Big Finish’s Once and Future saga, powered by standout performances from Jo Martin and Jonathan Carley. A fierce, anniversary‑scale adventure that celebrates the Doctor’s most mysterious corners.

This week, David & Matt are back from their summer jaunts to sit down to discuss second story from series three of The Sarah Jane Adventures 'The Mad Woman In The Attic'.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Join James and Phil as they hop into the Campervan to catch up on what’s happening (or what’s not happening) in the world of Doctor Who. Tender talk is rife throughout fandom, but what exactly IS going on with our favourite show?! Is anything actually happening? When will hear anything that promises new Doctor Who on our telly screens?

Meanwhile, Michele and Ashley check in and review some brand new Doctor Who with the latest instalment of Nine Lives – that’s Dark Tides, the most recent Ninth Doctor and Rose audio from Tim Foley and Big Finish Productions. And not to be outdone, Drew is back with his bite-sized review of The Tourist Trap by Bex Axford, the second story in the new Eleventh Doctor range.

And that, and the usual DWP silliness. Enjoy the show!

    Late in his life, the Seventh Doctor has reunited with an old friend. Someone to help him fix the problems of the universe - if he can avoid repeating mistakes of the past. Ray is capable, clever and seems the perfect foil for the Doctor - but she will still be put to the test... The Executor by Chris Chapman (2 parts) In a muddy field stands an old stone dovecot. Only it’s a TARDIS - with a recently deceased owner. The Doctor is named Executor of the Last Will and Testament of an old friend - Pegroninagall, 'Peg'. He has a monumental task: clearing her TARDIS of keepsakes and mementos. But this Ship may also contain whatever killed Peg... Oil and Water by James McDermott (2 parts) Visiting the Norfolk coast, the Doctor and Ray discover something very wrong with Blakeney's seals: they're bloated, mutated, and killing people! With grieving boater Anne, they investigate the cause... Is there something in the water? What does it want with the sea life? And what are its plans for humanity? Much Ado About Racing by Fio Tretheway (2 parts) When the TARDIS arrives at the start of the Intergalactic Championship Rally, the Doctor and Ray are caught between two rival racers. And for Ray, long-buried feelings resurface. Something is at work here: something feeding on heartache and regret. And love among the race-crafts isn’t all that’s at stake...    

To celebrate the return of the Rev from his sojourn in Pompeii, we take a look at Tenth Doctor story “The Fires of Pompeii”.

Fifty-year-old Alex Mitchell could not stop laughing for a continuous 25-minute period—almost the entire length of the show—and suffered a fatal heart attack as a result of the strain placed on his heart. Mitchell’s widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making his final moments so pleasant. “Ecky Thump”, of course, is a general expression of surprise in Lancashire. A snatch of the episode can be seen here.

(00:38:28) The “Tardyss” story in “Team Titans” can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:56:22) A photo of the marble crazy paving in Pompeii can be seen on our Tumblr site here.

Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker - The Black Archive Files takes center stage as we revisit UNIT’s most secret vaults and the Fugitive Doctor’s clash with Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, and even a rogue Weeping Angel. This episode breaks down the new Blu‑ray release, explores how its ten curated stories connect across the Circuit Breaker arc, and dives back into our original Fugitive of the Judoon review from 2020. Perfect for fans following the Fugitive Doctor’s evolving journey or collectors curious about this latest multi‑media set.

So, there we were, back in April, 3 episodes into The Daleks' Masterplan when the plan was hatched to just keep going. And we recorded this on April 30th, our thoughts on the still (mostly) missing Episode 4, The Traitors. It has taken a wee bit longer than expected to edit, but here it is.

So, back to looking at photo and soundtrack reconstructions, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about what we can discern from the extant material. We'll be back soon with our thoughts on other episodes of The Daleks' Masterplan.

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. https://open.spotify.com/show/4c8RB62kyKkfMPixhM7MmG.

  o Martin reads a thrilling original Circuit Breaker story featuring the Fugitive Doctor. Masquerading as a resident in a luxurious space hotel, the Doctor is in fact on a dangerous mission to eliminate Kashan Akravar, a rogue weapons dealer who’s attempting to auction blueprints for the deadliest weapon ever invented. The Division - that shadowy Time Lord organisation - have briefed the Doctor to prevent the blueprints’ sale at all costs. But they’re not the only ones who realise the weapon’s potential. When the hotel is attacked by Cybermen, intent on seizing the blueprints, the Doctor must use every ounce of her courage and ingenuity to hold them off. Working with husband and wife Kel and Jinni, the Doctor finds puzzles and obstacles in her way. Whose disembodied voice is calling out to her? What is its connection with UNIT’s Black Archive? And can anything prevent a cruel stroke of fate that will have unimaginable consequences for them all…? Jo Martin - the Fugitive Doctor in the BBC TV series – reads this gripping adventure by Steve Lyons, the fourth instalment in the Circuit Breaker story arc, with David Banks as the Cyber-Leader. Reading produced by Morrison Ellis. Sound design by Oliver Denman. Project editors: John Ainsworth & Michael Stevens. Circuit Breaker project lead: James Page. Circuit Breaker editorial leads: Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson and James Page. Executive Producer: Michael Stevens. Cover image by Lee Johnson. © 2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Glenn takes a look at The Doctor and the Three Witches, a quick and imaginative continuation of the Circuit Breaker arc. The story picks up right after Don’t Blink, bringing back UNIT’s upgraded Indigo Device and giving Martha Jones a strong role alongside the Fugitive Doctor. In this review, Glenn highlights how the fairy‑tale setting challenges both characters, how the Doctor’s choices hint at meaningful growth, and how a shadowy force behind the scenes adds momentum to the larger storyline.

  A huge UFO has crashed in Hallamshire Forest. Are there survivors? Is the site safe? There are a lot of questions to answer. With UNIT and Torchwood gone, the police must step up, while keeping the incident under wraps... Fortunately, they have officers with extensive experience of otherworldly threats... Patricia Menzies is on her way. Yasmin Khan is being recalled. But Yaz's sister, Sonya, believes the world has the right to know the truth about aliens... This release will have a limited CD pressing of 1500 copies.    

Despite the continuing lull in Doctor Who content we've got a bumper crop of stuff to talk about this week, including a missing episodes saga of sorts from Steven with many twists, turns, and 3/4" U-Matic tapes! the ever-present Circuit Breaker (except in Canada, more on that within), Mark Gatiss predicting the Doctor Who tender "quietly won't happen," the official launch of the Pondcast featuring Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, and the return of our look back at the week in the history of Doctor Who, namely – The Timelash!

Buenos días fellow nerds, and welcome to this month's splendid installment of Stace & Nuge In The Morning!

Doomsday is upon us in the Stace & Nuge studio, and yet somehow we still find time to chat about Spider-Man Brand New Day, Lanterns, One World Under Doom, The Furious, Spider-Noir, and Blade II. All this, plus some 'suite' soundtrack pieces from Michael Giacchino and David Arnold, Barry wishing anyone he knew was as cool as Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day, and Stacey getting miffed at the Secret Of The Ooze comic book for cutting cinema's greatest joke.

Grab a lovely coffee* and enjoy breakfast with Stace & Nuge!

*Other breakfasty beverages are available
