One of the things I'm really enjoying about rewatches of Project Hail Mary is the little details I notice each time. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's book-to-screen adaptation of Andy Weir's sci-fi novel gets better with every watch, as far as I'm concerned. That probably explains why I had no problem seeing it multiple times in the theater, or why I didn't hesitate to purchase a copy on VOD now that it's among the new movies available to watch online.
One scene I had to revisit right away happens so fast in the movie that I was never entirely certain if I was seeing the cameo I thought I was, but now that I can pause, I was able to verify it! The reporter we see near the beginning of the movie is James Ortiz, the puppeteer and voice behind a certain adorable alien character.
