I.T. > Sci-Fi

Never mind that most people don’t even agree with their GPS, this guy was cool going 365 million miles into space with a narcissistic cyclops AI… Come follow Chuck and Ravi on a cleanup mission that sidesteps the laws of robotics, and rescues a captain with some serious Stockholm syndrome.

I.T. > SCI-FI EPISODE 2: AI

Just to be totally clear, you can hurl a ship through hyperspace (with a mumbling carpet as a copilot), but you can’t forward an email attachment? Listen as our I.T. pros devise a workaround for the most famous plot hole in sci-fi history, and help a certain intergalactic family work through their anger issues.

I.T. > SCI-FI EPISODE 3: EVIL GALACTIC EMPIRE

Before you complain how that movie was all special effects and no story, remember the time that it actually was. Like, completely fever-dream bananas — full of inexplicable neon and vindictive computers with a gladiator fetish. Come follow Chuck and Ravi through this surreal CGI journey with a wild 80’s twist!

I.T. > SCI-FI EPISODE 4: MASTER PROGRAM OPERATION

Next time you feel the need to express your individuality at work or lose a few friends on social media with your political viewpoints, remember to give a nod of thanks.

I.T. > SCI-FI EPISODE 5: ASSIMILATORS

If you were going to send a machine back in time to kill someone, you might want to figure out a way for it to, say, take a gun, or prevent someone from going back further, or even teach it English... Can’t be bothered? Chuck and Ravi are here to save the day! (Until the next improbable sequel).

I.T. > SCI-FI EPISODE 7: TERMINATION

If you’re going to put a programmer in charge of thwarting an alien invasion, it shouldn’t surprise you when he wants to use a virus. What should surprise you is how — given his near-complete absence of knowledge about alien technology… Good thing our I.T. pros know how to plug a plot hole!

I.T. > SCI-FI EPISODE 8: INDEPENDENCE

Ever wonder how they hooked up the Matrix human energy pods — considering you’d probably get more juice out of a hearing aid battery? Listen as our heroes defy this cinematic sleight of hand, and help the humans and machines finally play nice. And also put a lot of folks out of work.
