  Project Hail Mary & Backrooms

  In this episode of Unger the Radar, we’re heading into two very different kinds of sci-fi with Project Hail Mary and Backrooms. We explore the big-screen ambition, cosmic stakes, and unexpected heart of Project Hail Mary, then descend into the eerie, surreal world of Backrooms, where the familiar suddenly becomes very, very unsettling.

  In this episode of Unger the Radar , we go from epic mythology to early Christopher Nolan with The Odyssey and Following .

From swords, gods, and spectacle to black-and-white mystery and DIY filmmaking, these two movies couldn’t be more different, yet they reveal plenty of connections across Nolan’s career. We break down the ambition, the filmmaking, the performances, and the wild journey from Following to The Odyssey .
