Space exploration sounds exciting — until you realize nobody packed lunch.
In this episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome, Mike and Darin start with a simple question about food in space and quickly spiral into a broader conversation about science fiction logic, storytelling shortcuts, and the everyday details movies and TV conveniently ignore. What begins as a joke about a missing sandwich turns into a critique of how often realism is sacrificed for pacing and spectacle.
Along the way, the guys explore why audiences accept these gaps, how basic human needs disappear in fictional worlds, and why thinking too hard about logistics can completely change how you experience a story. Equal parts nerdy curiosity and everyday frustration, this episode pulls sci-fi back down to Earth — whether it wants to be there or not.
If you enjoy comedy podcasts that overanalyze pop culture and apply real-world logic where it doesn’t belong, this episode delivers classic Irritable Dad Syndrome energy.
