Project Hail Mary: The Rotisserie Chicken That Stole the Movie

867-5309 became a cancer helpline. Richard Crouse has the story, and it changes the way you hear that song. Tommy Heath turned that number into a free line connecting anyone touched by cancer to trained professionals, because it’s already ringing in everyone’s memory.

Entertainment Stories Nobody Saw Coming
Sean Penn skipped the Oscars for Ukraine, and the award he came home with is made from a rail car that survived a Russian missile strike. Kevin Hart’s wax figure looks like someone else entirely. The Spice Girls reunion has a definitive answer.

Booze and Reviews!
Richard Crouse calls Project Hail Mary an intimate spectacle. Ryan Gosling plays an astronaut with no memory of his mission, and his friendship with an alien that looks like a rotisserie chicken made of stone is what the whole film hangs on. Three space cocktails follow, including one that actually glows in the dark.
