  • Summary

  • Starship Captain George Cottonhammer (Will Forte), bored by his job, stops his ship in middle space and floats, doing nothing. He refuses to answer distress calls, dodges anything that smacks of work, chooses instead to focus on his love life and his idea dujour - opening an intergalactic burger franchise. And while he perfects the art of killing time, his crew moves from baffled to annoyed, to furious, to borderline mutinous. But when an ignored intergalactic distress call turns out to be a trap, the limits of how high someone can fail upwards are stretched, and the captain must, to his dismay, do something.

So few comedy podcasts are this genuinely funny

Grinned at chortled throughout the whole podcast. Will Forte is one of the funniest comedic actors out there and the narration by John Malcovich was just perfection.

Loved it

Was genuinely funny, it’s a bit like the old Airplane and Naked Gun movies, really silly and a lot of fun. Big fan of Will Forte and the dry John Malkovich narrating just makes it.

The Office in Space

Basically the story of Michael Scott captaining a space ship. Not surprising given the writer and cast but still a lot of fun!

A good laugh

This book is great! It’s so funny. It’s a good story with a sad but nice ending. I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to people who would like laugh.
