This is actually a fascinating read by a mathematical physicist about the alleged academic fraud perpetrated by the brothers.

(If you post a link, a little context helps others to see if it is something they might like to read.)

They ran a TV show in the 80s about science fiction, and that aired The Twilight Zone.

With Metal Hurlant [known in the US as Heavy Metal] also being popular in France at that time, plus the arrival of first role playing games (both US ones and french ones), it was a high time for us, the geeks.

"Can I get a quick rundown" is a meme related to them.

Thanks, I had no idea who they were so no idea about the meme either. Also, your username checks out.

They had a sci-fi show in the 80s, Temps X, or Generation X. The title seems fitting in retrospect.
