Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Live: An Astrophysicist Goes to the Movies – Part Two

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's latest tour, An Astrophysicist Goes to the Movies - Part Two is derived from an entirely different set of films than Part One, from The Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Harry Potter, and A Bug's Life, this entertaining and enlightening review of all the science that our favorite movies got wrong, combined with some of the stuff they got right. It incorporates the latest films as well as some classics that you may not have known had any science in them at all!
Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and science communicator with the uncanny ability to simplify complex cosmic concepts that the average person both understands and finds entertaining. Recipient of the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest award given by NASA to a non-government citizen, Tyson worked with professional standup comedians to bring science to commercial radio with the NSF-funded pilot program StarTalk, now a popular podcast, which combines celebrity guests with informative yet playful banter. In its first year on television and in three successive seasons, it was nominated for a Best Informational Programming Emmy.
