In episode 10, Lucy and George discuss Andy Weir’s sci-fi classic The Martian and its film adaptation starring Matt Damon. They cover the change from the book's non-chronological structure to the film's linear timeline alongside laughing about the many problems protagonist Mark faces in both. This episode discusses the differences in Mark’s character, specifically his wit, or lack thereof, from book to film and the portrayal of science from page to screen.
