Making "The Martian": Behind-the-Scenes with the Designer Universe-ity

    • Science

Regarded as one of the most technically demanding sci-fi movies of the 21st century, "The Martian" challenges what the near-future of spaceflight looks like. And while its science may seem sound, the story took an incredible amount of engineering (and movie-magic) to bring it to life. This week, AJ and Jud sit down with the film's production designer Arthur Max (known for other films such as Se7en, Gladiator, and Napoleon) to see how the an off-world adventure was created right here on Earth.

Additional Topics Include: rock theater, a sneak peak at a Gladiator sequel 20 years in the making, and Brad Pitt's limousine driver.
