Episode 25: Hot Tub Time Machine

April 27, 2019 • 48 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking-hot group of middle-aged friends reliving their cocaine-fueled glory days in an ’80s comedy of time travel that is “Hot Tub Time Machine.” There aren’t a ton of time travel comedies out there, but “Hot Tub Time Machine” manages to be pretty funny, when it isn’t being a little overly …

Episode 24: Triangle

April 27, 2019 • 107 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the hellish murder cruise of parenthood of time travel that is “Triangle.” For real, this is one Phil, as the resident horror movie fan, has been looking forward to for a while. This is definitely one of those movies you need to watch before we talk about it. More than the usual …

Episode 23: Predestination

April 27, 2019 • 118 mins
Finally we’ve come to the adaptation of a tragic 1950s Robert Heinlein short story about really cruel timeloops that is “Predestination.” Yup, it’s been a long time. We’re pretty sure some old man stole our car and messed around with the radio presets and other buttons, and long story short, it’s 2018 and our Creedence …

Episode 22: Edge of Tomorrow

April 27, 2019 • 113 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking hot cycle of endless, painful death matched only by the endless monotony of life (but, you know, funny) that is “Edge of Tomorrow.” Tom Cruise’s foray into time travel takes a lot of cues from Bill Murray’s “Groundhog Day,” but adds a sci-fi angle and throws in aliens. It’s …

Episode 21: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

April 27, 2019 • 102 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking-hot mystery at the Circle K of time travel that is Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Strange things are definitely afoot for Bill and Ted, but as far as time travelers are concerned, the two confused San Dimas high schoolers are actually pretty damn good at this. Ted intuits how …

Episode 20: Project Almanac

April 27, 2019 • 114 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking-hot Imagine Dragons concert of a time travel movie, of time travel: “Project Almanac.” After a ridiculous nine-month delay brought on by familial responsibilities, job responsibilities, and excuse-making, the Paradox podcast is finally back! We’re sorry. We’ve powered through, though, and we’re finally back with an episode about Peggy Sue Got …

Episode 19: Deja Vu

December 10, 2016 • 117 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking-hot excuse to watch Denzel Washington be smoking hot (in several ways) in a movie of time travel: “Deja Vu.” The Tony Scott-directed, Denzel Washington-starring movie is a consummate action movie that actually does pretty well with time travel. It’s also the movie that originally inspired “So You Created a …

Episode 18: FAQ About Time Travel

November 2, 2016 • 78 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking hot British-comedy-about-a-time-travel-bathroom of time travel, “FAQ About Time Travel.” By popular demand, we’re diving into the 2009 comedy that mixes a bit of a “Shawn of the Dead” vibe with some time travel tropes, some “Back to the Future” gags, and some generally nerdy discussions of why Hollywood puts …

Episode 17: Donnie Darko

October 8, 2016 • 126 mins
  Finally, we’ve come to the smoking hot six-foot Halloween bunny hallucination from the future of time travel, “Donnie Darko.” Way back from 2001 comes a broody teenage angst story that’s also about time travel, God, sacrifice and parallel universes. “Donnie Darko” is a weird case because it has an original cut of the movie, …

Episode 16: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

September 28, 2016 • 106 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking hot Harry Potter spawn in stage play form of time travel: “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” — our first play!

Episode 14: Primer, Part 2

Finally it’s blah blah blah smoking hot “Primer” episode blah blah blah way too long here you go. It’s Part 2 of our double-wide episode on the technically proficient and complex “Primer.” Quick note: By now you’ll have seen the “Part 2” up there in the headline.

August 29, 2016 • 62 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the smoking hot ridiculously-convoluted-best-friend-betrayal-so-you-can-look-baller-at-a-party of time travel, “Primer.” Often exalted as one of the best time travel movies out there, “Primer” is a 2004 indie film written and directed by, and starring, Shane Carruth. In a big way, it’s one of the most technically exacting time travel movies, and it’s often …

Finally, we’ve come to smoking hot viral-end-of-the-world-and-animals-inherit-the-Earth of Time Travel: “12 Monkeys.” And “La Jetée,” the short film it’s based on, as well. Look, this is our longest episode, and one of us is neck-deep in the hundreds of thousands of people-strong insanity that is Comic-Con. So go ahead and listen, because we’re feeling a …

Episode 12: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III

June 28, 2016 • 61 mins
Finally, we’ve come to the totally nonsensical “giant anthropomorphic turtles with googly eyes that make you uncomfortable” of time travel: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.” The lesser of the three original “Turtles” films, “TMNT III” includes time travel back to 1600s Japan for some reason. This is accomplished by a weird scepter, the rules of …
