In this episode we look back at two of the greatest time travel films ever made: George Pal's masterpiece "The Time Machine" (1960) starring Rod Taylor, and Nicholas Meyer's brilliant "Time After Time" (1979) starring Malcolm McDowell, David Warner, and Mary Steenburgen. Both films feature one H. G. WELLS traveling in a time machine of his own construction and address his utopian vision of the future, albeit in very different ways.
Along the way we also revisit the 2002 remake of "The Time Machine" directed by Simon Wells (great grandson of H. G. Wells), Back to the Future, Doctor Who, the work of Philip Jose Farmer, and more.
Also: what if there had been a sequel to George Pal's "The Time Machine" in the 1980s? And what would we do if we had a time machine?
