When Michael Newman is bogged down with work trying to get his promotion, it isn’t more time with his family he needs or even to stand up for himself with is boss. No, the only thing he needs is a remote control he can use in his own home without being hit in the head with a toy helicopter. Fortunately the remote in questions doesn’t just control his television, it controls his entire universe, allowing Michael to pause, rewind, or fast forward his everyday life.
Joe is joined by Andrew Kroepel to talk about Adam Sandler’s time travel comedy Click and the pseudoscience behind his universal remote control.
