Ben CarlinHOST
No, it, it's so funny 'cause I think in the, in the movie, or the book The Martian rather...
Ben CarlinHOST
Man, I've, I've mentioned two Andy Weir, uh, books in this, in this episode.
Ben CarlinHOST
But I think that there's a thing where, like, the publicist for NASA, um, before each, like, major event happens, like, she writes a blue folder and a red folder, and they're both in the podium.
Jonathan CarlinHOST
Right.
NickHOST
the Christian savior complex of it all
EthanHOST
it's big Christian savior complex but Andy Weir is of course it's called Hail Mary
NickHOST

EthanHOST

42 MINS LATER
NickHOST
really think there's a sequel to it.
EthanHOST
Well, I think there was one.
EthanHOST
I think Andy Weir teased that there was some idea where he was going to write something for the two dead crew members.
EthanHOST
Like, I think that's
Angela HoyHOST
Yep.
Angela HoyHOST
And The Martian by Andy Weir.
Angela HoyHOST
He originally serialized that story on his personal blog.
Angela HoyHOST
We just talked about serials, online serials.
AJ BrandenHOST
Mm-hmm.
Peter C. HaywardHOST
So I'm going to tie this back to Andy Weir, the author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary.
Peter C. HaywardHOST
In The Martian, he's finally saved the day and he's built his potato plant and the doorway rips away and destroys his potatoes and there's no more potatoes.
Peter C. HaywardHOST
Cool.
KylieHOST
I know.
HannahHOST
Very giving Andy of the season.
KylieHOST
Yes.
KylieHOST

10 MINS LATER

KylieHOST
By whoever.
HannahHOST
Andy Weir.
KylieHOST
Yep.
Jean SparrowHOST
So let's move back up to the Burbs and talk about the North Shore.
Jean SparrowHOST
What is it with Andy Weir, writer Andy Weir, and all the houses he is picking up in the suburbs? He's at he's on number four now.
Dennis RodkinGUEST
Four in five years.
Dennis RodkinGUEST
Yeah.
Dennis RodkinGUEST
Prior to that, they lived in California.
Dennis RodkinGUEST
They moved here in part because his wife has family here.
Dennis RodkinGUEST
But also what Andy Weir has told me is they can get a whole lot more house here than in the Bay Area.
Dennis RodkinGUEST
And so they moved here sort of during COVID.
Juliane KunzendorfHOST
Right
Luke BurrageHOST
... super condensed into this book because it's, it's like Andy Weir-
Juliane KunzendorfHOST
Yeah
Luke BurrageHOST
... writing about, you know, s- this, a guy who goes off to, what is it, Ryland Grace or something, goes off to the other planet, like, he's all ...
37 MINS LATER
Juliane KunzendorfHOST
Yeah.
Luke BurrageHOST
And Matt Din- Matt Dinman is ...
Luke BurrageHOST
And, and Andy Weir as well, is like, they're, they're oblivious to what-
Juliane KunzendorfHOST
Yeah
NealHOST
First of all, let me just say from a science perspective, this movie gets probably, like, a B plus-ish.
NealHOST
Andy Weir does, like, a pretty good job with a lot of his books.
Hannah RidgewellGUEST
So I saw the movie again, and I-
NealHOST
Uh-huh
AbuHOST
They seem like pretty easy reads, like, from the summaries I was reading.
AbuHOST
Like, they seem sort of like this mix of hard sci-fi and comedy in the vein of Andy Weir, like Project Hail Mary and Martian, like...
AbuHOST
Bob, the main character, is this sort of like sarcastic nerd that makes like Star Trek references.
AbuHOST
I actually hate that kind of character and I actually greatly dislike Andy Weir and his books.
LeoHOST
Yeah.
AbuHOST
So I don't think I'll like the Bobbyverse, but I do want to check out the first book at least.
Jed HerneHOST
Our first premise formula is inciting incident plus character plus goal.
Jed HerneHOST
So for example, from The Martian by Andy Weir, after a storm leaves him stranded on Mars, that's our inciting incident, astronaut Mark Watney must survive alone while finding a way to signal Earth for rescue.
Jed HerneHOST
So Mark Watney is our character, and his goal is he's gotta survive and he's gotta signal Earth for rescue.
Jed HerneHOST
The second premise formula is character plus goal plus setting.
