S2 Episode 17: When TV Got It Right - The Future is Now

When TV Got It Right – The Future Is Now In this lighthearted episode, we’re diving into the wild ways TV shows and movies totally nailed the future! Join us as we laugh, question, and maybe cringe at how close we’re living to what was once sci-fi. Featured Predictions 🚗 The Jetsons: They promised us flying cars, robot maids, and video calls. Two out of three isn’t bad…but where’s that sky-high commute? “We’ve got robot vacuums and FaceTime—did we skip the fun stuff?” 🎮 Ready Player One: Virtual reality is more real than ever. Are we halfway to Ready Player One? With kids spending hours in virtual worlds, are vacations becoming a thing of the past? 🌌 Star Trek: Touchscreens, voice-activated assistants, space exploration—they called it all. “Which Star Trek gadget do you wish was real today?” We’re also chatting about The Matrix, Back to the Future, Minority Report, WALL-E, The Simpsons, Blade Runner, and Terminator—and how close each one has come to being reality. Fun Questions and Insights: Why no flying cars but hoverboards? Will virtual worlds replace real vacations? Would you trust a humanoid robot like in Blade Runner? Are we destined for a WALL-E future, lounging while robots handle life? This episode is packed with funny takes, clever insights, and a dose of nostalgia.
