Hey, everyone. Want to read about life on Mars, but without the hassle of things like character or emotion, then you'll love The Martian. A book Kellynne enjoyed, and I read because I knew I got to make jokes about it to all of you.

I'm Kellyn Erskine. I'm a comic, a father, and I've loved science fiction books since I was a kid. I was a fan of authors like Orson Scott Card, Ray Bradbury.

But until this book, I never realized what was missing from those classic stories.

700 F words.

And I'm David Vance.

I thought half this book was good and half was like if Gilgans Island only had the professor.

The Martian is the story of an astronaut surviving alone on Mars

millions of miles away from Earth,

and it shows that a book doesn't have to come from some big publishing house to be overrated.

And this is the book pile. I love that we're going into

this with me knowing that your knowledge of space was asking me if Mars was thousands or millions

of miles away. Just for context, the moon is 250,000 miles away.

Do you just know that off the top of your head?

I do.

Mars is just a bit further.

Yeah, I don't know all those space facts.

I'm more of a time guy.

That was Christopher Nolan writing Interstellar.

But when is it about time?

You know that song Rock Around the Clock?

Here's Christopher Nolan's cover of it.

Seven to nine o'clock, one o'clock rock.
