On Episode 364 of the Almost Sideways Movie Podcast, we review the breakout hit new to theaters. Is Project Hail Mary a masterpiece or overrated? Then we review a sequel no one knew we needed ... and 20 years later, some still wonder if we needed it. Whatever you think of the movie, Todd was able to keep a unique streak of Zach's alive. Oh, and listen to us react live to the Nebraska-Vanderbilt thriller in March Madness! Here are the highlights:
