Former oncologist Harry Smith and former LA Times reporter Zayden Frost have both lost their jobs. Teaming up, they create Psyience.com, a YouTube-based venture in the same vein as “I Fucking Love Science” and “The Vlog Brothers.” But when they accidentally create a multimillion-dollar media empire dedicated to not-quite-fact-checked science, they have to face TV Networks, venture capitalists and their rabid, all-too-gullible fans. This bacchanalian satire of science journalism, the Internet and academia comes complete with car crashes, a UCLA break-in and more alcohol than an ethanol research facility.
