1) I would watch this incredibly goofy idea. Would make for a great cartoon or comic. 2) Increasingly convinced that Andy Weir, the author of good but didactic leftwing hard sci-fi, is just sending out an actor to do media tours for him who is just riffing off what he thinks is nerd stuff.

One of the joys of having an unexpected weekend afternoon to myself is being able to flip the default sort order on my Letterboxd watchlist from Shortest First to Longest First The fact you can also then filter by "is this available on my streaming services" is a big plus.
