Don’t forget your towel! We’re diving into the absurdity of the 2005 Hitchhiker’s Guide adaptation. Humor, nihilism, and Jim Carrey as Zaphod? Almost! What’s the most unpleasant movie adaptation you have ever seen?

The universe is currently proofreading Jon's s life and, frankly, the edits are terrible.

​We can’t rewrite the script for him and his wife, but we can sure as hell pay for the production costs so he doesn't have to leave her side.

Hey #twitteroftime
I miss my peeps.

This year has been rough on my family.
Please read over and share this gofundme for my wife who has stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.
I'm not to proud to beg for your help if it means I get one more day with my wife.

Seeing the cast then vs. now is a wild reminder of how this "teen soap in space" became a sci-fi masterpiece.

The gang is diving into the trenches to see if the book or the movie won this war.
