Hipsters take note: there’s no sarcasm in Hardwick’s love for Captain Picard, Comic-Con, and the Atari 2600. Recorded at the Skirball Center for Performing Arts in New York City, “Chris Hardwick: Mandroid” showcases humorous stories that delve into topics like losing virginity, being in the chess club, shark anatomy, an awkward childhood, and an equally awkward adulthood (which is essentially a continuation of his awkward childhood), along with a host of other subjects that might or might not include Quidditch. From revisiting his old MySpace profile to the pointless endeavor of trying to erase his Facebook account, Hardwick humorously navigates the trivialities of the digital age, all while using hashtags in the most irrelevant ways.
