This week's episode will have you slapping your knee and laughing out loud as our crew discusses how humor is used across the science fiction universe. We talk about our favorite films and television shows, our favorite moments of humor in sci-fi, and work through a checklist of sci-fi films and shows that fans might love to add to their own watchlists! Join us as we joke around and talk seriously about what makes us laugh in the sci-fi universe.
