The Generalists Podcast

We’re the Seinfeld of podcasts — about everything and nothing, all at once. Two best friends, Jonathan and James, who’ve known each other for 25 years, sit down to laugh, question, and wander through life’s biggest (and strangest) topics. From AI to ancient literature, politics to video games, culture to UFOs & Bigfoot — nothing’s off the table. Sometimes deep, sometimes ridiculous, always driven by curiosity and the conversations of two best friends who’ve known each other for 25 years. It’s unedited, unscripted, and real — the same conversations we’ve been having for decades, now with you invited. Tune in, laugh with us, think with us, and maybe even hear your ideas featured in a future episode.

    ep. 010 We Saw Project Hail Mary. Then Things Got Weird.

    We saw Project Hail Mary in the middle of a Tuesday and had a lot of feelings about it. What makes a space movie actually work? Why did Ryan Gosling's character fall completely flat? And how did a rock spider named Rocky end up being the most emotionally resonant character in the film? From there, things went exactly where you'd expect: best space movies of all time, first contact scenarios, aliens vs. fallen angels, cattle mutilations, the Book of Enoch, and why obsessing over secret knowledge might say more about your soul than you think. This one went everywhere. Come find out where it landed. Topics covered: Project Hail Mary review, best space movies, Interstellar, Ad Astra, Prometheus, alien disclosure, fallen angels, Book of Enoch, Nephilim, church hurt, faith and understanding.
