Galaxy Quest (1999)

Regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by technology and product thought leader, Tom Coates. We cover Haitch’s transformation at the Hoffman Process, go deep (deeep!) on the frustratingly conflicted conclusion of Elon’s War of Aggression, now that he lost and was forced to buy (and subsequently ruin) Twitter, and it’s broader implications on society. And then we cover the Star Trek spoof that became a classic and offers the anti-cynicism protection we need to face a challenging world, Galaxy Quest!
