Description

We fire up part two of our time travel movie talk, and things immediately get weirder—half because of the topic, half because of us!

This time we’re diving into

• 12 Monkeys (Brad Pitt as the patron saint of chaos)
• Time After Time (H.G. Wells vs. Jack the Ripper, because sure)
• About Time (time travel but make it romantic and British)
• Safety Not Guaranteed (classified ad, possible lunatic, actual heartwarming ending)
• The Adam Project
• Frequency
• Interstellar (the movie that made half of us cry and the other half Google “what is a tesseract?”)

We also hit the deep cuts: Millennium, Flight of the Navigator, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (time travel for whales!), and that Twilight Zone episode where William Shatner loses it over a jukebox!

We debate:

• The ethics of fixing the past vs. breaking it for fun
• Whether time travelers should be banned from playing the stock market
• The suspicious lack of dental problems in any century before 1950

We roast movies for forgetting language changes over centuries, note that apparently every time machine has a leather interior, and discover that the only people who don’t break the space-time continuum are… people in Hallmark movies, somehow!

Also featuring:

• The “don’t step on that” rule
• Why most time travelers would immediately get smallpox
• Which superhero movie does paradoxes best

And the age-old question—if you can warn your past self about a bad haircut, is it morally wrong not to?
