Happy Thursday, Christmas Fanatics!

To kick off our month of bonus episodes in which we cover movies the entire family can enjoy, in honor of it being Thanksgiving month and to express our thanks for you, Julia and Anthony gather to discuss 2026’s hit film, “Project Hail Mary“! A story about found family, discovering new worlds, the incredible things we can accomplish when we put aside our differences, and extraordinary empathy, sacrifice, and love, we could think of no better film to kick off this string of bonus episodes meant to celebrate Thanksgiving! It’s no surprise both elves love this one, so trust us when we say this is one episode you want to be sure not to miss, filled with tons of behind-the-scenes insight and filled with spoilers for Andy Weir’s book in addition to the movie!

And yes, we forgot to post this last Thursday, but that just means you’ll get *two* bonus episodes the week of Thanksgiving itself!

Also of note: This is “Tis the Podcast’s” 500th episode! And while it feels weird that it’s not a Christmas episode being dropped to mark the occasion, we can think of no better movie outside of the genre with which to mark the milestone! Thanks to all of you for an amazing 500 episodes, and almost ten years! We couldn’t have reached this one without you!

So settle back with your favorite holiday beverage, relax, and enjoy our discussion! And, as always-as we’ve been for the previous 499 episodes and will be for the next 500-thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
