This time, the Mostly team dives into Adrian Tchaikovsky's short-read sci-fi horror novella, Walking to Aldebaran. We break down why this story—about an astronaut named Gary lost and alone in a bizarre, planet-sized tomb —is the perfect mix of The Martian, Project Hail Mary , and Alien.

We loved it. This week, the Mostly team dives headfirst into the new psychological thriller movie on Netflix, The Woman in Cabin 10, starring Keira Knightley! We break down the incredible tension and talk about why this film—about a journalist who witnesses a death on a billionaire's yacht—feels like a serious Knives Out meets Clue meets True Crime. Get ready for all our takes on the themes of media power, wealth, and the infuriating art of gaslighting. Plus, we drop a truly wild Star Wars fun fact about Keira Knightley! Is this book adaptation worth the watch? We say yes.
