This week, Geek Girl Chicago herself Lauren Faits joins us as we finish up our month-long quest with last year's Oscar Best Picture-nominee The Martian, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon as a smarmy botanist who has to Robinson Crusoe his way through Mars while stranded there after being left for dead. A wonderfully straightforward crowd-pleaser, The Martian manages to make science cool again by focusing on the methodical, analytical problem-solving, while miraculously keeping things entertaining. Don't just take our word for it, though; check out our episode, along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!
