Ep. 122 The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Optimistic Nihilism

Blast off this week with Popcorn Therapy as we narrowly avoid the destruction of Earth by following a guy we met at a party to his spaceship. That's right Shade and Chelsey are popping around in an infinitely improbable fashion as we discuss The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), not to be confused with the eight prior versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So don't forget your towel as we discuss existentialism, the grief of losing your home planet, being a depressed robot, and galactic presidential lobotomies. 

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was written by Douglas Adams and Karey Kirkpatrick.

The cast includes Martin Freeman, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel, Warwick Davis, Alan Rickman, Richard Griffiths, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Helen Mirren, and Stephen Fry.

Join us next week as we discuss His Three Daughters, available on Netflix!
