Show notes

In this episode, Kelsey and Eric take a deep dive into The Martian, comparing Andy Weir’s thrilling sci-fi novel to its gripping film adaptation. How well does the movie capture Mark Watney’s struggle for survival on Mars? What scientific details were changed or left out? And does the humor, tension, and emotional weight hold up in both versions? We break down the key similarities, major differences, and how each format brings its own strengths to this epic tale of resilience and problem-solving.
