At 21, Hawking learns that he has motor neuron disease. Despite this -- and with Jane at his side -- he begins an ambitious study of time, of which he has very little left, according to his doctor. He and Jane defy terrible odds and break new ground in the fields of medicine and science, achieving more than either could hope to imagine.TIMECODES:00:25 - Intro01:28 - Other watching: Obi-Wan Kenobi (update), The Boys, Jason Moves a Couch05:55- The Theory of Everything Intro13:35 - The Plot17:35 - Discussion 26:55 - Reviews, Box Office + Rankings32:30 - Fun Letterboxd Reviews34:16 - Academy Awards35:32 - Interesting Facts38:14 - How Real Is it?42:05 - Final Thoughts + Ep. 20 PreviewPlease leave a five-star review and follow us on the social platforms below!
