Characters in film have been dying by the thousands since the medium began, so much so that the very idea of character death has taken on new weight and context. Malcolm Nygard shows us how Ridley Scott's The Martian, which subverts a lot of the stereotypes about death in space movies, teaches us some important lessons about stories. The Martian soundtrack by Harry Gregson-Williams used for review purposes. Theme music by ept. Hit subscribe and try our other great podcasts at our website.
