CinemAddicts: Project Hail Mary, Spacewoman, Touch Me, It Was Just An Accident

This episode of CinemAddicts dives into three distinct films released on March 20th, 2026: Project Hail Mary, Space Woman, and Touch Me. Host Eric Holmes delivers an emotionally rich, personal review of Project Hail Mary, recounting how his experience watching the film at a Littleton Alamo Draft House was elevated by serendipitous encounters with fellow moviegoers—Nina, Taller, and Alice—whose shared excitement mirrored the film’s central theme of unexpected friendship. He praises the movie’s faithful adaptation of the book, especially the heartwarming bond between Rylan Grace and the alien Rocky, though he notes the omission of key scenes like the Antarctica and courtroom sequences. Despite these cuts, he calls it a near-perfect cinematic experience. He then reviews Space Woman, a documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, highlighting her trailblazing career, emotional family struggles, and the psychological resilience required to command space missions. The film earns high praise for its intimate storytelling and emotional depth. Finally, Eric and co-host Greg tackle Touch Me, an indie sci-fi comedy with psychosexual horror elements, which they describe as wildly stylized, bizarre, and divisive—its surreal tone and genre-blending visuals earning it a cult potential. Bruce Perky’s later review on The Cinematic adds further depth, calling Touch Me a bold, weird, and surprisingly empathetic film, while also reviewing Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare and Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere with strong critical acclaim.
