Phil Plait of [badastronomy.com](http://badastronomy.com), and occasionally of the SDMB as **The Bad Astronomer** , now has [a series of shorts](http://www.hulu.com/bad-astronomy) on Hulu which I just discovered completely by accident.

Neato.

Wow! Black hole death rays are so much cooler than the 1920s kind.
