It’s been a busy 2026 winter and early spring on Ian Simmons’s Kicking the Seat podcast and YouTube channel when it comes to talking about (more like debating) new releases of literary adaptations. As of last week, I’ve been on the dais for three of those. Following plenty of contention discussing Dracula and “Wuthering Heights,” it was time for the blockbuster hit of Project Hail Mary, based on the celebrated novel from Andy Weir. As is becoming the trend on Ian’s show, there are critics with a magnifying glass for detailed translations and those who loosen up for the movie’s sake. Enjoy the banter between Ian, myself, Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front, Mike Crowley of You’ll Probably Agree, and Jeff York of The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.
