Scary Thoughts #113 - The Martian Scary Thoughts
-
- TV & Film
Andy Weir’s novel The Martian (2011) is top-shelf hard sci-fi for nerds who love space and MacGyver situations.
Just four years after (official) publication, Ridley Scott made a film version starring (South Park voice) Matt Dayyyyyymon.
Both versions of the story are fast paced and fun. They aren’t exactly horror, but survival stories are often horrific. And this one has a touch of terror and a dash of body horror to make it on the show.
We get into how artists and engineers see the world differently, the promises and pitfalls of space travel, and wave our fists at the state of science.
