We’re bringing you some cinematic visions of the future: ranging from mod utopias filled with gadgets to barren wastelands filled with trash can fires! We dig deeper into Meg’s avuncular affection for Tony Shalhoub, and Laurs confesses to yet another childhood staple that she has never seen. We pitch an adaptation of the Bedbug starring Jemaine Clement in a leisure suit (working title: Smash Palace), and reveal a motley crew of honorable mentions and recommendations.
