About this video

Science fiction films are our full on favorites. And yet... Whether it's time travel related or just the date of the setting, the year always annoys us. Blade Runner in 2049? Pacific Rim in 2025?? 2001 in 2001?!! Consider this a guidebook on what to look out for the next time you encounter someone from "the future".

Also, yes some of these movies justify the exponential technological development by explaining that like, aliens bring new discoveries or whatever, but like, still, ya know?

We're Chris W. Smith and Jack De Sena (aka Chris & Jack). We've been friends for years and love making high-quality, high-concept sketch comedy. Chris is an occasional Blue Man in Blue Man Group. As a voice actor, Jack played Sokka in Avatar: the Last Airbender and Callum in the Dragon Prince. In 2016 we united to create this channel, confusingly titled β€œChris & Jack”, which has served as a shared platform to write, produce, direct, edit, and star in our own stuff. We're releasing comedic sketches of all shapes and sizes. Sci-Fi, Heists, animation, movie tropes, fantasy, absurdist bits, and plenty of fun new experiments. But above all else, friendship.

A huge thank you to all our Patrons, including our "Producer Tier" friends:
DJ Smu-Mu
Steve Mould

We love you!
