Crunch Time

2016 · 1 season

A goofy, fast-paced sci-fi comedy about grad students bumbling through a world-ending experiment, played for laughs.

Overview: Crunch Time begins when four grad students accidentally open up a black hole that could be the end of the world. After recklessly handling cutting-edge tech in their school lab, this brilliant team of jackasses creates a small, but potentially earth shattering, black hole that grabs the attention of government operatives. Since the “wanna-be” scientists can’t pinpoint exactly where their experiment went wrong, they must work with the secret government agency sent in to save the day by detailing EVERY illegal thing they’ve done in the lab thus far.
How it feels: Absurd, light, satirical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Science, friendship, conspiracy, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
