The Infinite Monkey Cage USA Tour: Los Angeles
What happens when science meets Hollywood? Brian Cox and Robin Ince discuss with Sean Carroll, comedian Joe Rogan, executive producer of Futurama David X Cohen, and Eric Idle.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince continue their tour of the USA, as they take to the stage in LA, as they ask what happens when science meets Hollywood. They ask why so many movies now seem to employ a science adviser, whether scientific accuracy is really important when you are watching a film about a mythical Norse god and whether science fact can actually be far more interesting than science fiction. They are joined by cosmologist Sean Carroll, comedian Joe Rogan, executive producer of Futurama, David X Cohen, and Eric Idle.
