Podcast 166: Static Cling-ons


Time for another movie podcast! This time it's a very specific type of time travel -- something we call "static timeline" time travel. It's where time travel happens, but the timelines are set and no splintering timelines are created. Anyway, the time culprits are Somewhere in Time, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey and Primer. The podcast runs about two hours, but if you want to save time just say out loud that you'll plan on listening in the future and then go back in time after you actually listen. Btw, pretty sure Primus performed "Tommy the Cat," not "Making Plans for Nigel" during the Battle of the Bands. Sorry for being so darn confusing, but that's the only confusing thing about the show this time around.

Podcast breakdown:
0:00 -- nuqneH
5:19 -- Somewhere in Time
51:27 -- Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
1.22:09 -- Primer
1.52:49 -- Awards and rankings
2.16:19 -- Next movie podcast category winner and more time travel
2.29:05 -- Qapla' and outtakes
