If you’ve been following me for a while now, you know that I’m quite excited about the upcoming movie The PHD Movie 2. You probably don’t know what it is about, because frankly, most people that actually read the PHD Comics are grad students, but I digress… PHD Comics is this great site with (as you might have guessed) grad school related strips, you can check it out here.
In 2011 they decided to do a movie with some themes from the comics and so The PHD Movie was born. I love it. It’s short, and it’s likely that it won’t appeal to people outside of Academia, but it does give a great sarcastic view of this world, and it made me (humble graduate student at the time, feel less alone). In 2014 a kickstarter for a sequel was launched and the goals were met – I’m a proud backer!
So I’m super happy that the movie is almost coming out, and that I can share the poster, trailer and screenings with you guys.
Go here for the screenings page – I’m just sad that they won’t be screening the movie in Spain, but no worries, I’ll get my movie in the mail soon enough!
My Tiny Obsessions 
How come I didn’t know that this existed? PHD Comics is one of the best things ever 😀
it is 😀 the first movie is worth a watch, makes me cry everytime I watch it, because I feel less alone *lol*
I need to watch it like now. PHD Comics is so relatable even when you’re doing a MSc =P
yes it is 🙂 go watch it!!!! 😀
I’m also a PhD student and my school is actually doing a movie night with PhD Movie 2!!!
WOW!!!! I wish I went to your school!!! Have you watched the first one? 🙂
No I haven’t. I started my PhD at the beginning of this year and I only discovered PhD comics about 2 years ago.
I just checked out the screening map and it’s so exciting to see that we’re on it. University of New South Wales in Australia, in case you’re interested.
AND what makes it super special is that the screening is on my birthday. So I get to celebrate with all of the other grad students.
how amazing 😀 !!! You should check out the first one, it has all the classic problems ;), I hope you have fun and a wonderful birthday day 😀
I definitely will!
