SciCast Notes:

We don’t get many jokes in SciCast. Which is odd, when you think about it. Science and engineering are clearly funny subjects, whatever the lazy stereotypes assume, and funny films have consistently won the main SciCast awards. But we still don’t get many straight-up gags.

So, it’s good to have a film with a punchline. Great stuff.
