4. Watch episodes of Future Man
There will be a screening of the first two episodes of the hilarious sci-fi series Future Man. It follows the life of Janitor Josh Futturman who leads a pretty boring life but also plays video games in his spare time. Things change, though, when he beats a video game that the rest of the world has given up on, thinking it was unbeatable. After he defeats the game, mysterious visitors from the future appear who put the world in danger, and Josh is the only person who can save it. He assembles a team to assist him as he travels through time, completing various missions as he does whatever he can to try to save Earth from the extraterrestrial visitors.
