Chris Hardwick: Mandroid
Hipsters beware: there is no irony in Hardwick’s affinity for Captain Picard, Comic-Con and the Atari 2600. Filmed at Skirball Center for Performing Arts in New York City, “Chris Hardwick: Mandroid” features candid comedy tales that cover virginity, chess club, shark vaginas, awkward childhood, awkward adulthood (which in this case is an extension of awkward childhood) and a myriad of other topics which may or may not include Quidditch. From unearthing his old MySpace page to the futility of attempting to delete his Facebook account, Hardwick displays his comical approach to all things trivial in the digital era, all while #hashtagging completely out of context.

Let's be realistic.
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
I am familiar with Chris Hardwick from watching THE NERDIST on BBC America. Watching his stand-up act in this Comedy Central special, what you see in one is what you get in the other. His concerns are those of the geeky individual who has grown up to discover there are several million others like him and this establishes some sort of coolness in a world run by computers.Humor has always been the defense of the weak against the strong and the class clown was beat up slightly less frequently than other smart kids when I was growing up. Hardwick's comedy act is an outgrowth of that phenomenon.Hardwick's shticks are not very deep, but they are well written and his energy is very good onstage. If you were the sort of kid whom the bullies made fun of, you should enjoy this.
