We get weird with the failed pilot HEAT VISION AND JACK. Jack Austin was a spaceman who flew up way too high. Now he's smart when the sun's about, much dumber when the sun's blacked out. His roommate's a machine now who got hit by a laser. On the road, seeking adventure, fighting, fun, action, and lectures. It's an 80s show starring Jack Black. Let's dive deep on Heat Vision and J
