    Why We Walked Out of Ryan Gosling's 'Project Hail Mary' 🍿

    When Bo Yokely and Jared Pike sat down to review Ryan Gosling’s highly anticipated Andy Weir sci-fi adaptation of Project Hail Mary, they didn't expect to walk out of the movie theater early. In this full episode of the Opposites Distract podcast, the guys break down exactly where the interstellar space epic went wrong before diving into a heated debate to rank the top three Ryan Gosling movies of all time, including massive hits like The Gray Man, La La Land, The Fall Guy, and Blade Runner 2049. The conversation quickly derails into a hilarious culture clash over the cinematic impact of March Madness basketball versus Christopher Nolan movies, followed by a brutal analysis of Alan Ritchson's viral American Idol singing audition compared to his massive Jack Reacher physique. Finally, the hosts react to Bert Kreischer's controversial claim that comedy podcasting is just stealing money on 2 Bears 1 Cave, and Bo reveals the hilarious truth about how incredibly giant Shaquille O'Neal actually is in real life when he met the Los Angeles Lakers legend on set.Chapters:00:00:00 Why Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary Hype Failed00:01:41 March Madness Betting vs. Cinematic Masterpieces00:10:08 The Problem With The Project Hail Mary Alien Trailer00:12:08 Falling Asleep During A $100M Ryan Gosling Movie00:13:31 Why We Actually Walked Out of Project Hail Mary Early00:18:23 Ranking the Top 3 Ryan Gosling Movies of All Time00:25:06 Why Blade Runner 2049 Is A Slow Burn Masterpiece00:27:00 Jack Reacher Star Alan Ritchson's Secret Singing Talent00:31:07 Bert Kreischer Exposes How Much Money Podcasts Make00:34:45 Meeting Shaquille O'Neal in Real Life (Hilarious Fan Story)#ProjectHailMary #RyanGosling #JackReacher #ComedyPodcasts #OppositesDistractAbout Opposites Distract:Jared (a pop-radio morning host) and Bo (a Hollywood actor/director) are two entertainment insiders who rarely agree but always laugh.
