Time Babble

1.5 The Time Traveller’s Wife (2009) “An Abundance of Bottoms”

This week we’re babbling about The Time Traveller’s Wife (2009), which was directed by Robert Schwenke, and based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger. The film stars Eric ‘bare botty’ Bana and Rachel McAdams.
The Time Traveller’s Wife is unfathomably widely loved, but quite why is somewhat unclear, given the stench of male privilege on display, and the misogyny of the script. And that’s the least of its problems! 
But, dear listener, please do not be disheartened! As is tradition, Time Babble treat the film to both derision and hilarity in equal measure; ridiculing the decision of a wearing frilly shirt and hot pants while beating up a stranger in a dark alley, mistaking a particularly obvious plot point in an otherwise incoherent script and, of course, poking fun at Bana’s infamous ‘vasectomy waddle’. Enjoy!

1.4 Timecrimes (2007) “Spanish Peter’s Milky Time Bath”

This week we’re babbling about Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes) from 2007, which was written, directed and stars Nacho Vigalondo. It also stars Karra Elejalde, Candela Fernandez and Barbara Goenaga.
Timecrimes is the everyday story of a man who spies a girl in the bushes, goes to investigate, and accidentally falls into several time loops. Different versions of himself appear in every loop, sometimes at the same time, and in each one, he manages to create a bigger mess than the last…
Given that predestination paradox is the theme of this film, we already know you’ve listened to our humourously fact-based bleatings. Time Babble are very glad you enjoyed this episode. You now have no choice but to dive into our milky time bath.

1.3 See You Yesterday (2019) “Einstein Slushy”

This week we’re babbling about See You Yesterday (2019), by first time director Stefon Bristol. The film was produced by Spike Lee and stars Eden Duncan-Smith as C.J. Walker and Danté Crichlow as Sebastian.
It’s quite a rollercoaster of a Babble episode, covering a fantastic, fun and touching movie, and featuring various horological digressions, including a famous scientist enjoying their favourite iced beverage, the return of Mr (and Mrs) Matey, and sentimental glue-based teenage memories. Time Babble are Hip to be Square* ...are you? 
Content Guidance This episode contains voice-illness, and yours truly commiting the podcaster’s cardinal sin of snacking whilst the mics are on. But what ya gonna do about it Mr Jackson, write yet another snarky letter..?

1.2 Frankenstein Unbound (1990) “Meeerdeeered”

This week we’re babbling about Frankenstein Unbound (1990). Directed by legendary filmmaker Roger Corman, the film stars John Hurt, Raul Julia, and Bridget Fonda.
 
The film and chat covers talking cars, unreliable court evidence (including our own intentional falsehoods), purple time ‘clouds’, and a weapon designed not to Hurt. In honour of our universally praised Haiku or Limerick section, there's even a handful of romantic poets. Albeit played by some of the worst actors of their generation…

1.1 Time After Time (1979) “Parped into Limbo prt2”

This week we cover Time After Time (1979), starring Malcolm McDowell, David Warner, and Mary Steenburgen. Within the first 10 mins, we quote Samuel Beckett, misunderstand the year in which the film is set and unmask the identity of Britain's most notorious serial killer. Enjoy!
 
As is expected from a podcast about time travel, this first episode is not actually our first episode! We've moved the order around as we wanted to honour the recent passing of David Warner, who features in this recording we made many, many months ago.
 
There’s no need to watch the film beforehand, although obviously it will be littered with ‘spoilers’. But, we think 43 years is enough of a head start to reveal plot points…
 
Our first bumper episode is in two parts, both available now!
