Nick, I've already done this whole podcast. I went back into the pot.
0:04
Yeah, held came back. We're doing it all. Joe's the time
0:09
traveler, so that's nice. That's nice. Welcome to many of the review
0:21
be with you with Nick and Joe. I'm Joe, I'm Nick, and
0:27
today we are continuing our dive into time travel movies, the time Travel Draft.
0:33
This is a time travel draft podcast. Now we're continuing that with About
0:38
Time. This is Nick's pick for I believe it was for the romantic time
0:44
travel category, right, correct? Cool? Nick, I hate you for
0:49
picking this movie. I love this movie, but with that I will ask
0:53
you, why did you pick this movie? This is probably the saddest,
1:03
one of the saddest movies you'll ever watch, but it's also one of the
1:07
best movies you'll ever watch. And from a time travel perspective, it's glorious.
1:14
There are flaws which we will talk about, but it is just it's
1:23
it's really it's just fun because it's like it's it's it's it's like a romantic
1:29
comedy, but it's also like a time travel movie and it's got a little
1:34
bit of drama in it, and like, yeah, it's it's honestly like
1:41
one of like the I really enjoy it, so I had to pick it
1:45
for time travel romance category, even though it does come with some water works
1:52
so forewarning. Yeah, no, it really does. I I'm glad that
2:00
this movie was in our Time Terrible Movie draft, even if it is not
2:04
on my team of time travel movies. It really is. It's got a
2:08
special place in my heart. It is. It's it's weird because like I
2:13
think you can probably get through two thirds, if not seventy five percent of
2:16
this movie without like any tears, and then just like the last like fifteen
2:23
to twenty minutes is just yeah, pull your heart string after heart string.
2:29
Yeah it is. But like you said, it was a sad movie,
2:34
and I agree, Like there is sadness in this movie, but it's kind
2:37
of like it's kind of beautifully sad, right, like in a really like
2:40
optimistic way, right, Yeah. I it's definitely not like ah and then
2:47
you're full of melancholy and dread at the end, Like, nah, it's
2:53
sad, but like it's what is Ron say in a Prisoner of Azkaban is
2:57
like you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna so you're gonna be happy,
3:00
happy about it. Yeah, that's what it is. This movie is a
3:08
theatrical representation of the grim look that we circled back to our last movie time.
3:23
That was perfect. I didn't even have to go into my closet and
3:28
I go back in time to rehearse that we just did that. That was
3:31
We're just right in sync. Look at that, look at us fantastic.
3:38
Anyway, Joe, you're stalling. You have to review this. You have
3:39
to give us a fifteen second summary of this movie, so very please,
3:46
please explain for anyone who does not for those of you who don't know Joe
3:51
and I. Every time we review a film, we alternate on who has
3:54
to give a fifteen second summary of that film, And it is now Joe's
3:58
turn to give us a fifteen second summary of this film called About Time.
4:03
Joe, I'm gonna countdown when I say go. You begin three two one
4:09
go. A man finds out after his twenty first birthday that the men in
4:12
his family can travel back in time. He uses this to improve his life
4:15
and try to find love, but quickly finds out that there are some things
4:17
in life that time travel can't fix, and he goes on a journey about
4:20
life to become a respectful man. Done. Wow, right before fifteen seconds?
4:28
You were cheating. You were reading from something I saw you reading?
4:31
Or were you? Is that the summary from Wikipedia? You son of a
4:34
bitch. You're not allowed to use Wikipedia here. I actually I actually practiced
4:42
that one. I actually practiced that one. I'm so pissed off at Joe.
4:47
No one said you couldn't rehearse it. Yeah, you're right, that's
4:50
true. That's true, that, Joe, that might be the best summary
4:54
that any of either of us has given on this episod, this podcast in
4:58
two years. That is the best summary. I don't think I've ever feel
5:02
the best one you've done. The best one I did, I believe was
5:05
Dungeons and Dragons was like a fantastic summary. That was my best one.
5:09
I believe it was the same ending too, like you got to the ending
5:13
or yeah, you finished before the time, right, yeah. Yeah.
5:17
So if you can do that, then I think like you've succeeded. Right.
5:21
That was incredible, Okay you uh yeah, that's an A plus.
5:26
I mean that's the first A plus you've ever given me. Let's go,
5:30
let's go. Hey, oh, let's go, let's go. No,
5:36
no, no, it does help when you read the movie. Thank you.
5:43
I'm impressed. I'm impressed. Man. This is so this is uh
5:49
the difference here between the last movie we reviewed in our time travel draft Harry
5:54
Potter is like Harry Potter is you know, it's two and a half hour
5:57
movie, and time travel only happens basically in the last forty five minutes.
6:00
This is a time travel film. This film called about time is time travel's
6:05
happening the whole time, so whole time. Yeah, we can obviously we're
6:13
gonna focus more on the time travel aspect of it, but I guess we
6:15
can kind of give some overall thoughts. Whatever you want to start with,
6:17
take it away. Yeah, first first thought, uh forgot Margot Robbie was
6:24
in this movie. This this is the Margot Robbie movie that no one has
6:29
seen. Yes, that is correct. I like when she showed up as
6:33
Charlotte, I was I was like genuinely like, oh my god, yeah,
6:38
because yeah, I remember Rachel McAdams right, but like right, of
6:41
course, aside from Bill Nye, I thought I didn't know any of the
6:46
other actors, and then like all of a sudden here comes to Margot Robbie
6:50
and playing a pretty minor character in this movie. Sorry, I just kind
6:54
of like, get that out there. I was genuinely, like very surprised
6:56
to see her. I have that notewritten done as well. You just got
6:59
it before you got before me. Son of them, Nick, I've already
7:03
done this whole podcast. I went back into the plot. Yeah, held
7:10
came back and redoing it all. Joseph time Traveler. So that's nice.
7:14
That's nice. No, So I I just in overall in the plot of
7:21
this movie. I think it's a really sweet idea. I like the Okay,
7:28
So basically Bill Nye, who plays the dad in this movie, has
7:30
a conversation explaining like how time travel in their family works, and his son,
7:36
who's in denial about it, eventually asks like, well what about the
7:39
butterfly effect? And I think like what he says kind of like perfectly encapsulates
7:44
like the rest of the movie. He's like, well, you know,
7:49
we haven't brought down the end of society yet, so it seems to be
7:51
working out pretty well so far. Right, Like, I think like that
7:57
idea of what if you could time travel, but like it doesn't bring on
8:01
a dystopian like apocalypse. Like we've all kind of like had that thought,
8:05
right, Like can I undo this? What would it be like? This
8:09
is that thought? This movie? Is that thought right? Right? With
8:13
some rules and some caveats, Yes, that I think work. I mean,
8:20
if you're gonna but you can't like get too deep on the science details
8:26
or you'll be it'll ruin the movie for you. Does that make sense?
8:30
Like you have to kind of just yeah, it's a romantic comedy time travel
8:33
film. Like it's supposed to be fun but also make you feel something,
8:39
and one of those things is you're not supposed to take everything too seriously.
8:46
No. One hundred agree with this. We are going to talk about the
8:48
time travel in this movie because we are grading a time travel mechanic against other
8:54
time travel movies, right, And I think that, like you said,
8:58
there are some problems with this mechanism of time travel, but I don't think
9:05
that that hurts the plot of this movie at all. I think the plot
9:09
of this movie is pretty solid all the way through. It's a beautiful film.
9:13
Honestly, the mechanism for time travel is honestly like the least important thing
9:18
in this movie at least that's how I felt. I don't know about you.
9:22
Yeah, the time travel mechanism, like how you actually time travel is.
9:26
It's just a basic thing, you know, Like it's right. They
9:30
kept it very simple, very simple. You go in a dark room,
9:33
you clench your fists, you think about where you want to go, and
9:35
then you're there. It's okay, sure, it very careful with the wording
9:41
on it too, right. It has to be in your lifetime. It
9:45
has to be something that you remember, so you can't accidentally send yourself to
9:48
like your mother's womb or something. It has to be the only places you've
9:54
been and can't remember. You can't go to the future, but you can't
10:00
and come back to the present. So like you can go to the past
10:01
and then you can do whatever you wanted to change, and then you can
10:03
go right back to your future, so you don't have to relive the actual
10:07
time, the whole timeline if you don't want to. Where do we start.
10:13
Let's let's just get into the pro tag whose name I am blinking on
10:18
right now? Oh my god, what is what is his main character's name?
10:22
Help me out here, MC's name. It's not Tim, right,
10:26
it's not Timothy, not Tim him Tim. It's not Tim. It's not
10:31
Tim. I don't know why I want him to be Tim. Hold On,
10:35
I got it up. I just watched this today. It is Tim.
10:43
Oh, it is Tim Tim What I got myself? Oh my god,
10:50
I just realized that Joanna is Vanessa Kirby. Holy shit. Yeah,
10:54
there's actually like I was like, who is this? Why does she look
10:58
so familiar? Then I to Kirby? Holy ship. Hilarious. Also Bill
11:03
Nye still, what a perfect casting for a father figure of Also yeah,
11:13
since I segued casting. Sure Richard Griffiths, Yes, the guy who plays
11:20
Uncle Vernon and Harry Potter. This was his character here. This was the
11:24
last film I ever made. No, I didn't know that. He died
11:28
like six months after, I think, is what I read. No Sunday
11:33
Super said, yeah crazy we ever did? Was it was about time?
11:39
I mean, hey, he had a he had a really fun minor super
11:43
fun. Yeah, this was a great movie. What a great like way
11:48
to go out. Good note, I didn't know that. Yeah, I
11:52
did recognize him when he popped in, because other than Harry Potter, I
11:56
don't really know him from anything. And yeah, when when he showed up.
12:01
It was like, oh, shoot, you know, no post on
12:03
Sunday. This is wonderful. But AnyWho, let's talk about Tim, because
12:13
you know, the majority of this movie, if not all, all of
12:18
it centers around Tim's perspective of the world and Tim. Tim basically starts out
12:26
as he's he's a bit of a loser. In fact, his dad is
12:28
his dad loves the hell out of him. But his dad, he seems
12:31
to be aware of this. And after New Year's party and after Tim has
12:37
turned twenty one, Bill NYI, his dad, you know, tells him
12:41
that, you know, the men in their family can travel back in time,
12:43
and he explains how that they're able to do that, which kind of
12:46
sends Tim down this rabbit hole of how to use time travel to to try
12:52
and better his life. And I think they use the mechanism really poignantly throughout
13:01
most of the film. I really love that first summer that he's trying to
13:05
make Margot Robbie fall in love with him and he can't do it and comes
13:09
to the realization that even if you have the power of time like, you
13:13
can't make someone fall in love with you. Right, Yeah. I love
13:18
how hypocritical her character comes off throughout the entire movie yeah a hundred, which
13:24
I don't really think that that makes her a bad person. I just I
13:26
don't know. I think that speaks to like how complex people can be,
13:30
ye yeah, or like also like how much people will avoid giving someone the
13:39
truth to their face and would rather figure out a way to let them down
13:43
easier instead. Right, because in this case, like the both times when
13:50
it's the end of the summer and he goes to her room to try to
13:54
like court her, and she goes, Oh, if only you had told
13:56
me at the beginning of the summer, we could have had the whole time.
14:00
And then he goes back in time to the beginning of the summer and
14:03
she goes, you should come on the last night. It'll be fun.
14:07
You know. It's like total opposite you know reactions and both trying to let
14:15
him down easy in a way, right, And that's when he has the
14:18
realization of it doesn't matter how much time you have, you can't make someone
14:20
love you, basically. But then he kind of we revisit that right like
14:24
after he's he's fall in love with Rachel McAdams about like maybe a third in
14:30
the way of the movie were reintroduced to Charlotte Marta Robbie, and she seems
14:35
to be like all about Tim all of a sudden, right, and the
14:39
timing of it just doesn't work for Tim because you know, his heart belongs
14:43
to Mary Rachel mcgaigm's character. Which yeah, again, like I really liked
14:50
how poignant this was. You know, because even if even if time travel
14:56
like is you know in your favor, if you can go back act,
15:01
you know, there still is the question of morals, right, And I
15:03
think like even though Tim, Tim can make an utter fool of himself all
15:09
the time, which just, oh my god, so relatable, especially the
15:11
gay conversation that he has at one point with Charlotte. God, that is
15:18
so rough. He's not a bad person, right, and even even though
15:24
he could a rage Oh yeah, we'll go back to the gay conversation if
15:26
a lot. But like I just want to say, he you know,
15:31
even with the power of time, he could have an affair with Charlotte and
15:37
erase it so it's as if it never happened but he experienced it, right,
15:41
But like he can't do that because of his morals. I don't know.
15:46
I really liked that. I thought that made him a very strong character,
15:50
right, yeah, well it it also it would have ruined the movie
15:54
if he did, because from the beginning, like when he has that first
15:58
conversation with his father about being able to time travel, he asks his dad,
16:03
like, you know, they had this conversation about why why didn't why
16:07
didn't you want to be rich or do this or like you could have done
16:10
anything, like what did you want to do or whatever? And he's like,
16:11
well, I spent most of my time reading, you know, and
16:14
like and he and he's he essentially, And then his dad asked him,
16:18
He's like, well, do you want to figure out like the meaning to
16:21
all this yourself or do you want me to just tell you you know,
16:23
like and you know, like the he tells him essentially, and that it's
16:30
really just about people and the people in your life and like, you know,
16:33
finding love and all of that. And so that's kind of where Tim's
16:37
pursuit from the beginning of the movie is all about, right, It's about
16:40
finding the one basically, And so if you would have taken the opportunity halfway
16:45
through the film to like use time to his advantage and sleep with the girl
16:48
that he couldn't get back in the day, like it would have just ruined
16:53
the arc of the character anyway, So it was nice that they like dangled
16:56
it and then brought his you know, kept his morals like in check.
17:04
Yeah, you know, I feel like this movie may maybe I'm wrong here.
17:11
I would love to like have a debate about this. So, Like,
17:15
you know, when when you have a story, you can either have
17:17
a very plot motivated story, you can have a very character motivated story.
17:21
And in this movie, even though like it really centers around an ensemble of
17:26
characters right through the perspective of Tim, it feels very plot motivated, right
17:33
like, because like as far as Tim's like actual like growth goes, I
17:40
don't know if I could say that there's like an upward arc to it,
17:45
right Like. I mean, I guess he gained some confidence throughout the film.
17:51
Yeah, but I don't know what else do you think he gains,
17:52
like as a character. Maybe an appreciation perspective for sure. I Mean,
17:57
he's especially towards that part of the film where his dad gives him the advice
18:03
to live every day a second time, right where you essentially you go through
18:08
the day like for the first time with all of its like hardship and annoyances
18:14
and all the things that are rough and all that, and then you do
18:15
the day over and you appreciate all the things that you were annoyed about.
18:19
It's very awesome perspective. Like the film is like this oozing with perspective on
18:26
like how to treat your daily life like it's really awesome. And I think
18:30
that's what he learns. He gains perspective and appreciation for the moments and to
18:34
appreciate being in the moment and then also not having to go relive it or
18:38
change every little thing that you didn't like, because life is about those things
18:41
that you can't change, basically. And then his character does grow because he
18:45
ends up saying later that he really doesn't travel back in time very much anymore.
18:49
And I think one of the only things keeping him keeping him traveling was
18:53
being able to go talk to his father. And then this is when we
18:59
get one of the additional rules later on in the film. This is where
19:02
there's maybe slight of the slight issue with the film is that it kind of
19:06
is introducing us to time travel rules throughout it, without that we're not getting
19:10
the full scope of the time travel mechanic. From the beginning. We're finding
19:14
out the rules as we go, and one of those is like, you
19:18
can only travel back as far as your last kid. Well, you can
19:25
go further, but he could come back, you might have a different kid
19:26
because the spring might be different and all that. So you'd have to live
19:30
with the knowledge that you erased like a different person, right right, there's
19:36
a different yeah, which happens in the film at one point, and then
19:38
he has to go back and change that to which you know, so real
19:45
quick on this. So this is my number one gripe with this movie.
19:52
Bill Ny is such a loving father throughout this entire experience, and he comes
19:57
off as so wise throughout this entire movie, and he explains, you know,
20:02
nearly all the rules in the beginning of the story. This feels like
20:07
the most important rule that would have come up during the butterfly effect conversation,
20:12
and he just neglects it for traumatic reasons later in the movie. What Yeah.
20:21
The only reason that I can think of to why he didn't tell Tim
20:26
his son, this really important rule when he turned twenty one is because he
20:33
didn't want it to keep Tim from having kids. Because if you think about
20:40
it, if you tell a twenty one year old who just found out he
20:42
can time travel, but if he has kids, it'll change the kid that
20:48
he has. Maybe it makes the twenty roun year old think he doesn't want
20:52
kids, and maybe that changes the trajectory of his life. So and if
20:56
you're a selfish grandfather, maybe you want grandkids and you want to not have
20:59
to worry about that particular rule. And in the moment, it didn't matter
21:03
to Tim because he didn't have kids yet, so he was maybe holding back
21:06
that information until it was relevant. However, once you have the kid,
21:10
it's relevant, So maybe tell him, like, hey, be careful what
21:14
you do from now on. Yeah, no, I actually really like that
21:18
logic because yeah, like Tim even says, at one point, you don't
21:23
realize how much your world changes until you have a child, which is of
21:27
course something that many of us have heard, if not experienced. And yeah,
21:33
it would be kind of great to like hear Bill NII like come in
21:37
after like this realization happens and say like, yeah, I couldn't tell you
21:41
that before because you didn't you wouldn't have understood the weight of that rule until
21:47
after your parent. So yeah, like I like the logic that you just
21:52
gave. I think that really works. It's too bad it wasn't in the
21:55
movie. It's definitely a problem with the time travel mechanic. I'm just thinking
22:03
outside the box. I mean, like, I like the the limitation on
22:07
it, right, I think it's a really good limitation, but it's it's
22:12
just it's purposely held back for dramatic reasons. Right, It's like, come
22:18
on, Like Bill Nye's character is clearly very intelligent. Yeah, their relationship
22:25
is so good, like the string on screen chemistry between Dom Hall Gleason and
22:30
Bill ny is fantastic. And Rachel McAdams, I mean, this is another
22:34
like Rachel McAdams had an amazing run of like rom comms that she was in
22:38
and like the mid two thousands, like Unreal and there this film also directed
22:47
what was the other one that he directed? The director of this film also
22:49
directed a couple other rom coms. Famously, No, I having to look
22:56
it up again because I forgot that's the top of my head. Oh Love
22:57
Actually, Love Actually, thank you? Yeah. Yeah. Richard Curtis did
23:02
Love Actually and Nodding Hill four Weddings in a Funeral. He wrote Yesterday or
23:07
directed Yesterday, the movie about the Beatles music. Yeah, he's like got
23:12
a really awesome U really awesome little catalog here and a lot of you know,
23:18
really he's just known for these kind of films, I guess. But
23:21
yeah, so like that that was kind of cool because, like Tim,
23:25
like the reason that Notting Hill thing was shocking to music is like Tim,
23:27
Tim's character in About Time kind of feels a lot a lot like the main
23:33
character in Nodding Hill, which I don't know if you I don't know if
23:36
you've ever seen Nodding Hill or not, but if you haven't, actually I
23:37
think you enjoy you would enjoy that film. I think it's really good.
23:41
But Hugh Grant, young, Hugh Grant, Julie Roberts, oh wow,
23:45
in those films, Yeah, definitely worth watching anyway. You know what's really
23:51
interesting about this movie is, you know, like like we said before,
23:55
and I think this is one of the reasons why I was able to do
23:56
well in my summary, there's not a lot of conflict in this movie,
24:02
you know, like like there's certainly frustrations, and the movie starts out as
24:06
if it's gonna be like like a classic romantic comedy of like boy meets girl,
24:11
boy loses girl, boy gets girl again, right, but like we
24:15
we go through that formula very quickly, and then the rest of the movie
24:19
could It's almost like as if like this movie asks the question of what happens
24:25
after boy gets girl again? Right, what time travel? And it just
24:30
keeps Yeah, it just keeps going on into their lives and I guess like
24:36
the life lessons he continues to learn adults. It's really just yeah, it's
24:40
just like a simple story of like a normal life, but you just throw
24:45
a time travel mechanic into it. It's like literally like if anyone listen to
24:48
this or us, just we have normal lives, we go, you know,
24:52
regular jobs, we have families, all these things, and you just
24:55
gave us the ability to time travel. What would that be like? And
24:59
this is like what that movie is basically because the content there's not like crazy
25:02
conflict, right, There's there are accidents that happen with family, right,
25:07
or there's you know, his dad ends up getting cancer, which is a
25:10
huge you know, it turns into like this is like one of the reasons
25:11
the end of the movie is so sad because he's only able to go back
25:15
to see his father one more time because he's about to have another kid and
25:21
the father will be has died, so he can't go back in time to
25:25
see his father because when he comes back, it'll be a different kid.
25:29
So he's got like this is the last time he's ever going to have a
25:30
conversation with his dad. It's like super sad, but like that's like a
25:34
normal life problem, right, right, But it becomes complicated when you throw
25:40
time travel into it because now you get to choose like how much you can
25:45
go revisit you know, your loved ones who are gone and things like that.
25:48
So it's like very interesting. Well it's it's the question, like,
25:55
yeah, it's the question of like being stuck in the past, right and
25:59
like refusing to like move forward versus choosing to move forward and embracing whatever comes
26:07
next, right right. And I think that's a really that's a really beautiful
26:11
message that the movie sets up, and you just laid out like a lot
26:15
of a lot of things that makes the family like pretty relatable, right right.
26:21
You know Bill Nye's character getting cancer. Tim is a goofy awkward loser
26:29
who carries a lot of anxiety, but still, you know, somehow makes
26:33
it work. The family itself is like made to be very relatable except for
26:37
one thing. And don't get me wrong, I know that there is a
26:41
reason for it. I just think it's funny considering how relatable the whole family
26:45
is. They're so obnoxiously rich, like crazier, Like the characters are specifically
26:52
made to be so relatable, and they are and everyone is delivering great performances.
26:56
They are so relatable except for this one thing that they are so rich.
27:00
In England, he drink tea for hours out on this like coastal like
27:06
environment that's so beautiful, and then you don't have care in the world.
27:11
Again, I get it. I know why they're rich. And with the
27:15
time travel power, it would make you ask why aren't they rich? Right?
27:18
Granddad did it and he wasn't happy, right, I like the movie.
27:23
That movie addresses that we move forward. I just it's something that makes
27:29
me laugh. It's like they're super relatable except for that. Right. It's
27:37
also brutal too, because, like you know, like his dad gets cancer
27:41
and they address that too, where he's just like, of course, I
27:45
got you know, I went back in time. I got diagnosed as early
27:47
as I could, but by that time. It was too late because I
27:49
have been smoking my whole life and all these things. It's just like so
27:52
brutal. And the thing that makes it more brutal is the music. The
27:56
soundtrack. The soundtrack on this film is incredible, dude. I repeatedly stopped
28:02
to try and figure out what some of these songs were. Yeah, well,
28:06
and and like there are songs like in the film obviously that are you
28:11
know, written by musicians and things like that. But then there's also like
28:15
the underlying soundtrack that was composed specifically for the film, and that specifically is
28:21
like heart wrenching. You know. It's like the film opens that way,
28:23
and when you've seen this film already and you hear the music for the first
28:26
time, you're air You're just like, oh my god, I'm setting myself
28:29
up for just like some rough moments towards the end, because the music really
28:33
really takes those scenes where you know, he's like seeing his father for the
28:37
last time and having the tough conversations like really makes those scenes come together.
28:42
I just love films that focus on The soundtrack is like a way to drive,
28:48
you know. I think this movie is firing on all cylinders, you
28:52
know, including the musical composition. There's one thing I had to that you
29:00
mentioned the scene where Bill N's talking about his cancer diagnosis. This was probably
29:04
my favorite line in the entire movie, where N he explains to Tim,
29:11
you know, it was probably the cigarettes that I had been smoking, which
29:15
I could never have stopped since I'm pretty sure it's what your mother was drawn
29:18
to, since I'm such a sexy smoker. Yeah, absolutely love that.
29:23
So good, so good. And also with a scene where you know they
29:27
get Tim and Charlie get married and he has to pick a best man,
29:33
and he goes through like all three friends that he could choose, and finally
29:37
he goes back in time and picks his father, and then his father gives
29:41
a speech for the first time and they're talking about it after the wedding and
29:44
they're both having this moment and like Tim's looks at his father and he goes,
29:47
no, it was really great, like I and like the only thing
29:49
that his father didn't say was I love you at the end of the speech,
29:52
and he's like, I really should have said I love you. I
29:53
really didn't think I didn't do a good job. And Tim's trying to tell
29:56
him, no, it was an amazing speech. I wouldn't have wanted it
29:59
any other their way. And they look at each other and like Tim already
30:03
knows what's gonna happen, as Dad's gonna go back in time and redo the
30:06
speech, which is just funny because it just feels like we're in this weird
30:08
loop where like the father and the son, for this one specific moment in
30:15
both of their lives, they wanted it to be perfect, so they both
30:17
went back in time for the same moment a different at different times to get
30:22
to get it right. So I thought that was really funny where they just
30:25
like it goes back in time just to change one little thing in the speech.
30:27
What does he say to him? It's a bit along the lines of
30:30
like, don't tell me how to live my life something like that, something
30:34
something clever. Yeah, yeah, really good. I so yeah. To
30:41
readdress Rachel McAdams here, I didn't remember. I mean, I knew she
30:47
was in this movie, but like when the movie started, it had dawned
30:51
on me that we have two time travel Rachel McAdam movies, at least two.
30:56
I don't think she's in any other our choices, right, She's not
31:02
in intertellar right, No, that's but yeah, it's just the two,
31:07
which I thought was really cool because she is two very different characters in this
31:14
and then Midnight, Yeah, she's in Midnight in Paris, in Paris,
31:18
Yeah, frantic clean, Yeah, and she does not get a lot to
31:25
I love that movie, and we'll get to that movie. She does not
31:26
get a lot to work with in that movie except be horrible, whereas in
31:33
this one, like she's she's really quite lovable, and she gets to be
31:37
very goofy and awkward herself. It was really neat to see her do that.
31:41
I think the movie tries very hard to make Rachel McAdams in the beginning
31:48
of the movie not look as hot as she actually is, like purposely trying
31:53
to make her look a bit more wholesome, and I'm like, it's not
31:56
working, it's not working. Nope, she's still hot. It's funny.
32:04
Yeah, I think most of the movie is very pleasant and delightful. I
32:10
think this I think you kind of hit the nail on the head. This
32:13
movie is like less coming of age and more slice of life. Right and
32:22
yeah, really the last like twenty minutes when we are trying to use time
32:25
travel to avoid some of life's harder learned lessons, and it simply just can't
32:35
be done. The first, of course, being a character we have not
32:37
brought up, is Tim's younger sister, KitKat. Yeah, I love I
32:44
love KitKat. She's so weird and crazy and jumping on people. It just
32:52
seems to be so full of love. She has a line when she's speaking
32:58
to her uncle that I think is so heartbreaking during the wedding, when her
33:02
uncle says next, it'll be you, kit Kat, and she says,
33:06
I don't think that's true, Uncle Dee. Boys can be mean. Jesus,
33:12
my heart just like crumbles at that line, And of course, you
33:19
know, we get to her whole the arc of her movie where and this
33:22
is the first time this is introduced, and it's important for the end.
33:27
Tim brings his sister back in time to stop her from meeting the most toxic
33:32
male that she'll ever come across in her life. And it works. Oh,
33:38
I forgot. This is very important because this is one of my other
33:42
issues with time travel, and we'll come back to it. But yeah,
33:45
there's a part of this that is problematic, but anyway, yeah, it
33:52
works out for her. She's happy, but this is when we learn the
33:55
thing about the kids, and we can't go back any further than when someone's
34:00
and born. Right, he's gotta he's got to let his sister make her
34:04
own mistakes and learn her own lessons, right, which is really brutal,
34:09
brutal lesson to learn, brutal lesson to learn, but necessary especially in that
34:15
moment. But right, But also it brings up the question of like,
34:20
well, I guess you can bring people back with you right to time travel,
34:24
right, which that's a problem in itself. And then obviously when he
34:28
went back to change bringing her back, she forgot that she had even done
34:31
it because it wasn't part of her timeline anymore. It was weird, you
34:36
know, So definitely weird. Definitely some time travel law is being broken throughout
34:40
this film for sure, but aren't a lot And like again, it doesn't
34:45
really seem to harm the plot very very much, right, Yeah, but
34:52
that does set up the uh, the the ending in which we know that
34:58
Tim is going to have a a third child because Mary really really wants a
35:05
third kid. Yeah, And this means that since his dad has passed away
35:13
in his current timeline, he will no longer be able to go back in
35:19
time to see his father anymore, which means in this movie, we have
35:24
to watch a father die twice. And fuck you movie for creating such a
35:34
brutal concept. Yeah, absolutely, you know it's funny too, not funny.
35:38
But what's interesting too about this scene is, like, you know how
35:40
you were saying earlier, we don't get a lot of conflict in this movie.
35:45
This movie almost gives us a little bit of conflict. So the first
35:47
moment when we find out that the dad has been diagnosed with cancer and he's
35:52
going to die soon, they're in they're in an office room, and they
36:00
had just come downstairs after talking realizing they left the baby in the room with
36:05
important with an important manuscript, and the baby is ripped up and shredded the
36:10
manuscript, and Rachel McAdams's character closes the door and locks it because like she
36:17
wants to yell at Tim and like fight about the fact that he left her
36:23
in this room when she knows that this is a very important manuscript she needs
36:27
to have ready for tomorrow for her work, and so like this is really
36:31
the only time where like there's kind of more conflict between these two characters and
36:37
Tim can't get out of the room. All he's trying to do is like
36:40
get to a dark room so that he can like time travel back a little
36:44
bit and like make sure that the manuscript isn't ruined. And they're like about
36:50
to have like a really big fight because she's not letting him out of this
36:52
room, and then all of a sudden, they get the phone call from
36:54
Tim's mom that dad has cancer and they need to come home, and it's
37:00
just like we were, like it was so close to like some real more
37:06
conflict, right, like a big fight with like we never really see because
37:08
he always is able to go back and fix it, but it gets kind
37:13
of ruined by a worse thing happening. Obviously. I just thought that was
37:16
an interesting like observation from Yeah, just the time travel esque of it.
37:22
Yeah, No, I agree, because I think that's when the movie like
37:25
kind of takes a turn, right, because like, for the most part,
37:30
it's it feels like this whole movie is going to be about romance.
37:35
And it's like it's literally at that moment when the movie tells you it's not
37:39
just gonna be about romance. This is this is a romantic comedy, but
37:44
this is also a life movie. Right. Yeah, no, I think
37:47
that's a really great point to bring up, because yeah, like it does
37:51
feel like they're about to have a much harder conversation and at that point movie
37:57
transitions into dealing with life, and we get less of Mary at this point,
38:05
right, but she's still like a really strong like support for Tim and
38:09
the rest of the family, especially when KitKat is in the hospital. I
38:15
actually found Rachael McAdams's performance of when kit Kat's asking like, can you guys
38:21
go at, Like, Rachel McAdams like just shaking her head and she's like,
38:24
no, we're gonna, We're gonna stay here. I found her performance
38:27
in that scene to be like the most endearing. Yeah, she was wonderful.
38:32
But anyway, yeah, sorry, long winded way of saying, that's
38:35
a great observation. Yeah, no, and I totally agree with it with
38:39
you. There. Also, can we really quick talk about the scene when
38:43
Tim meets her parents for the first time unexpectedly? My god, why would
38:47
you ever bring up oral sex? Explain the scene? Explain the scene.
38:53
I mean, so you know, Rachel McAdams, this character Charlotte hadn't told
38:59
her parents yet that they had really that she's really been seeing someone, and
39:01
to that point, they aren't just seeing each other. They live together and
39:06
so all of it, and her parents were coming to visit and she never
39:10
you know, they always would bail, and this is the time they decided
39:14
to actually show up, and so they call like when they're five minutes away,
39:19
and all of a sudden, Charlotte has to tell Tim that he's about
39:23
to meet her parents for the first time in the next five minutes. And
39:25
they don't even know really that they're dating that seriously, and two that they
39:29
even live together. Charlotte's basically just like just yeah, let me talk and
39:36
don't mention sex or oral sex or anything like that. And It's like,
39:40
well, yeah, of course, I was definitely going to bring up oral
39:44
sex as like a joke, right, because like why would you bring that
39:47
up at all, especially to parents. And then they the door opens and
39:52
this is the first time they're meeting, and it's so awkward because they weren't
39:57
expecting to see a man in the apartment and like Tim was just putting on
40:00
clothes because he was only on like boxer shorts or whatever. And they're like
40:07
greet each other and Tim is so nervous that he just goes, we're not
40:12
having oral sex the father, just like what are we doing? It is
40:16
like one of the funniest scenes and like in any movie, it's so awkward
40:22
and so hilarious. And then obviously he's going to go back and do that
40:24
whole moment over again because he's just so caught off guard. But it's just
40:29
like, imagine if you couldn't do a moment like that over, how do
40:31
you get over that? Like, how do you come back from him from
40:34
being so awkward? You don't you just take the L You take the L
40:39
you just move on find another girl. Yeah, that's that scene is brutal,
40:45
so awkward. Yeah, Tim is painfully awkward. I mean he's supposed
40:52
to be right like Monk Lison, Like his performance is perfect as like a
40:58
hatefully awkward person, but you know, also like very endearing. You know,
41:05
it's to the point where like when when he's when he first meets Mary,
41:10
they meet in a I don't know what this concept is called. I
41:14
know this movie didn't invent this. I know it exists like a darkened restaurant
41:17
where you go in, you meet people, but everything is there's no light.
41:22
You can only just talk to people. You have no idea what anyone
41:23
looks like. And he is so smooth with the girl that he has no
41:30
idea what she looks like. He's just saying like all the right things.
41:34
He's hilarious. It was to the point where I was like, bro,
41:37
just blindfold yourself, just like where eye patches all the time, like you
41:40
don't need your eyes. You like you are the smoothest man on the planet
41:45
when you cannot see. Yeah, that's funny. It's such a great point.
41:49
Oh my goodness, I do want to bring up the kind of last
41:54
moment really before we get to the ensemble montage of everyone sure, it's it's
42:00
the final goodbye with Tim and Dad and Dad realizing oh, like this this
42:08
is it right, like this is the last time we're going to see each
42:12
other. And because of the concept that was set up earlier with kit Kat
42:17
of taking her back in time, Dad says, you know, we're really
42:21
careful, like we won't change anything. I want to do one last thing
42:25
with you, and it's just Dad and Tim. Tim has returned to They've
42:32
come back to a point in Tim's life where Tim is a child and it's
42:37
the two of them just running on a beach together. And you know the
42:43
movie, the movie didn't set that up right, Like, you know,
42:45
we never heard about like what exactly Tim's childhood was, Like I mean,
42:50
I guess he does say in the beginning, like it was a pretty great
42:52
childhood, right, but like right, there was nothing that sets up this
42:57
moment. And I don't care because of like how like endearing this moment is.
43:04
It's just wonderfully beautiful and like just like the best way to like say
43:08
goodbye to someone. I think that that was the moment that like crushed me
43:15
the most. Is is this goodbye what about you? Yeah? The last
43:21
the last scene with them, you know, playing ping pong again like they
43:23
always do, and it's just like the last last meeting, and then the
43:29
music, the perfect score plays. It's just totally heartbreaking, but like like
43:35
you said, just like a beautiful life movie. You know, like it's
43:37
like you're sad, but like you're also happy about it because like they're getting
43:43
more time to spend with each other than anyone else normally. What right,
43:46
So because of this like cool little thing that they're they can do, which
43:51
is time travel coincidentally, so it's just a really cool concept to kind of
43:55
explore like the further meaning of it all basically, you know, and like
44:00
a normal life trajectory. Really overall, it's just a super enjoyable film like
44:06
Gotta go. You have to watch it if you haven't seen it. It's
44:07
just like totally heartwarming. This would probably be on my list of like top
44:13
ten, might even be at top five time travel movies for me. Yeah,
44:19
it's really good, which is again why I'm really pissed that you got
44:22
it in the draft. It's just it's really beautiful. Yeah, I know,
44:28
great choice. Anything else before we move on to time travel? No,
44:35
no, no, I'm good. I think we can talk about time
44:37
travel a little bit and do uh yeah, do the deal time travel?
44:42
Okay, time travel in this movie very simple. Like you said, I
44:46
think I only have two nippicks with it. So movie tells us that the
44:52
rules are you can't go back further than when you were born, only in
44:57
the places that you remember. Go to a dark room, clench your fists,
45:00
and imagine where you want to be. The additional rule later that we
45:05
get is you can go beyond someone else's birth, but if you do,
45:08
you will change the outcomes of the birth, which again I think that's a
45:12
good limitation. I think all the limitations are pretty good. There are things
45:16
about this dime travel mechanism that like raise a lot of questions. The first
45:23
one for me is so, unlike the Harry Potter time turner, you do
45:31
pop into existence, but like you can make the time turner thing work,
45:35
right, like as long as like you're not in the same spot as you
45:38
were when you pop in it out, whereas like this one, so you
45:44
appear geographically in the same closet or dark space that you're in, right,
45:50
but like you're taking the place of a you that's already there. So does
45:54
that you just like get deleted, right, and like everyone like you're conversation
46:00
with somebody and like you're just gone, and everyone's like, right, did
46:02
anyone else just see Tim blink out of existence? Right exactly? This is
46:08
a huge plot problem, a huge problem with the time travel mechanic. And
46:13
this is what a lot of like critics back when this movie came out had
46:15
issues with because like science wise, time travel wise and science wise, this
46:21
film does not try to explain that part of it. It's like, this
46:24
is a romantic comedy. We're throwing in some time travel. If you think
46:29
about it too seriously, you're going to ruin the message for yourself. However,
46:36
we're going to talk about it seriously because this is the point of this
46:37
particular episode and time travel draft. So the mechanics are atrocious in this film
46:46
because you literally are going to you have to go like you can travel back
46:53
in time, but you will you will show up wherever you started from.
47:00
So if you are in the future or in your present and you are in
47:04
a cupboard and you travel back in time, you will end up in that
47:07
cupboard in the past, which means, like you said, your other existence
47:12
in that timeline just disappears. So that is a huge time travel plat hole
47:19
like that that really ends the conversation on like, how is the time travel
47:25
mechanic in this movie? Well, unfortunately it's awful because it just doesn't work.
47:31
There's no explanation. And then furthermore, when you go back to that
47:36
cupboard to then time travel back to your present, which really becomes your future.
47:44
So when they say at the beginning of the film that you can't time
47:47
travel to the future, that's kind of bullshit too, because the second you
47:52
time travel back to the past, your past becomes your present, and then
47:58
your really sure argument, So like, right, it's really all wrong if
48:05
we nitpick, okay, and it's not even a nitpick because it's a big
48:08
problem. It just made me so excited because yeah, you're right. Okay,
48:14
you're so right, and it's okay. So to like break that down
48:16
even like simply no, not simpler, you broke it down greatly. But
48:20
to like reference a time travel movie that we are going to go over at
48:23
some point during the series. Uh. Bruce Banner in Avengers Endgame points out
48:30
that if you were to go back into the past, uh, that's become
48:34
your new present, and that which you left behind in what was the present
48:37
is now going to be your new future in this new timeline that you're creating,
48:42
which is why like time travel itself like is weird and doesn't make sense.
48:46
So you're right, they do travel forward in time. They do travel
48:52
in the future, which contradicts exactly what he said, which like that's I
48:55
feel like that's simple enough to like avoid just don't have a return point,
49:00
right, like just have them live out the rest of their life. But
49:04
I guess there's certain things in the plot that they can't do if if they
49:07
do that right, and then you're just reliving your live over and over again
49:10
until you get it right. What you can never get it right because there's
49:14
always gonna be something that you want to change. And this which is ends
49:16
maybe being a whole point in the movie. It's like you have to learn
49:20
to live with the some of the things that are going to happen to you
49:22
because it makes you who you are, basically, right, It's just like,
49:25
yeah, but the time travel portion so many problems. It's just the
49:31
movie. But it's fun. It's supposed to be fun, right, it's
49:35
not. This does not run the movie at all, of course not you're
49:37
right, right, right, But like it's to the point where like this
49:43
this isn't even time travel. Like what they're doing, like like they're calling
49:46
it time travel to like keep it simple, right, but like it's not
49:50
time travel. What they're doing is their world line hopping, right, Like
49:53
they're hopping to a world line where you know, whatever they did before hasn't
50:00
happened yet, and they can create like a new timeline, right, Like
50:02
that old timeline still exists, they just jumped away from it and now they're
50:06
like in this one, and then they returned to the present point of that
50:09
timeline that they just jumped into. Right, it's a totally different dimension that
50:14
they just hopped into. We should we should make a movie about all the
50:19
timelines that they left behind in the film. So many, so many timelines
50:23
just abandoned. Can you imagine about About Time sequel? What a great all
50:30
the abandoned timelines. That's that's a perfect title for YouTube video that we should
50:35
absolutely waste our time doing. That's a great that's a great idea, the
50:38
About Time sequel. You didn't ask for what that you need? About about
50:44
time? About time? About Time? There's actually so in thinking of the
50:51
concept of time travel in this movie, like which again, like I'm sticking
50:53
with the thought here worldline hopping. There's uh, do you want you do
50:59
you watch Your and Morty at all? No, Okay, there's there's a
51:02
Rick and Mordy episode that is sort of it's not like about time at all,
51:07
but like it's about what we're talking about. So with the record in
51:13
the first season, Rick has told us he will never do time travel.
51:15
He doesn't like time travel, right, he says his bs. Anyway,
51:22
there's an episode in like the fourth season or so where Morty begs Rick to
51:25
give him a do over button, which is what this movie is, right,
51:30
Like, yeah, give him a button in which like he can.
51:32
It's the idea of, like you're you're playing a video game, right,
51:37
and right before you fight the boss, you save your game, and then
51:40
you go fight the boss, you get killed, but then you just return
51:45
to the last place you saved, right, That's what Rick makes him.
51:47
He makes him like a do over button that allows you to save in a
51:52
spot. Right. So Morty uses this throughout the entire episode in like many
51:57
many different ways. And the twisted is at the end we find out that
52:01
it's not a do over button, that it's not a time travel button because
52:07
again Rick doesn't do time travel, and that what it actually is, it's
52:12
a button that sends Morty to another dimension where he wanted to be, like
52:19
in that place in time, and kills the Morty in that dimension so that
52:23
he can live that Morty's life in the way that he would have wanted to
52:28
in that timeline. And he's killed countless Morties in doing my it's an amazing
52:36
episode, Oh my goodness. So yeah, I would like to imagine he's
52:42
killed lots of tims, lots of what what what? What? A sequel
52:47
that would be unbelievable. It's no longer a romantic comedy. It's a horror
52:52
film. Dude. He's a serial killer. That's so interesting. There's a
53:00
there's one more air that I wanted to talk about. So it's a rather
53:05
quick one, and it's when I didn't remember until watching this movie again with
53:10
you. In this experiment, the fluidity in which you remember the changes of
53:15
a timeline is not consistent, and again it's done for dramatic purposes. So
53:23
when we bring kit Kat back in time to prevent her from dating this really
53:30
toxic, horrible dude, they come back into the present and KitKat has all
53:35
of these new memories of this new guy in her life after all these years,
53:39
and she remembers it almost instantly as they're standing in the cupboard. However,
53:45
Tim doesn't seem to know the changes that have happened in his life,
53:50
such as he has a son now not a right. That's a great point.
53:54
Yeah, again it's done for dramatic purposes, and it is a really
53:58
great reveal, but it's not consistent, and it's a problem travel this movie.
54:01
That's an excellent point. Yeah, great point. I have nothing else
54:07
to say that. I also have nothing else to say on that point.
54:09
That's all I got. Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow, man,
54:16
Yeah, I don't think I have anything else on the time travel front.
54:22
I think I got like everything out of my like what I was thinking.
54:25
It's a simple enough concept. Uh, it's it's you know, I think
54:30
we pointed simple. It's flaws, right, simple works for the movie has
54:35
flaws, like for sure, but it's not the kind of movie where you're
54:40
supposed to like it's not the kind of movie that's supposed to have strict time
54:44
travel laws to get you to like the resolve of the film, right,
54:50
And that part of the reason is because there's not a huge conflict in the
54:52
film. It's just about life, and the conflict is that time travel.
54:59
The actually the conflict of the film is that you can time travel, which
55:01
makes it more complicated in some instances by not having to deal with it in
55:07
the moment. So which actually, yeah, I think that's that just leaves
55:10
our grading here. Yeah, so, uh, Nick, you want to
55:15
kick us off with your grade for the overall movie. Overall, it's so
55:21
it's I love this film, even with the flaws of the time travel mechanics,
55:23
like I want to give this like a four point six, Like I
55:28
just love this film. I could watch it a ton, except I don't
55:31
like to cry very often, so well, you know, once a year
55:35
is good, but this is like you have to watch this film if you
55:37
haven't seen it, and it is a it's on the rewatch list, like
55:42
this film will always be rewatched. So yeah, yeah, this is one
55:46
of the few movies that I'll actually pay Amazon to watch. Right. Oh
55:52
we bought it because it was like three ninety nine to rent FO nine to
55:58
buy, and I was like, well, shit, we must just by
56:00
thin because I'll definitely watch it at least one more time. So now I
56:02
own this movie. There are five dollars on Amazon Prime, so thanks,
56:06
thanks bezos. Good moves. Good moves are made there. I don't have
56:10
anything more to say than what we've already said. I love this movie.
56:15
It's for me. It's near perfect. My two Achilles heels are any father
56:19
and son scene and time travel, and this movie has both. Uh uh,
56:25
It's like I was made for this. I can't wait to watch Endgame
56:28
with you. Oh my god, we all we've done the whole time travel
56:31
draft so far, in all three episodes, is just quote the whole Yeah,
56:36
he's got the best quotes in that movie. He's got so many quotes.
56:39
But you have do comedy next. Yeah, for sure. For me,
56:44
it is uh, this is a four nine, it is it is.
56:47
Yeah, it is almost a five for me. It's so close it
56:51
damn close. It was good. Yeah, yeah, I am I being
56:55
a coward. Fuck it five got a five. We've got a five out
57:04
of five. This is like real piss that I give it your okay,
57:09
man, I should have given it a five too, damn gang. But
57:15
wow, five out of five Joe, that's that's the highest score we've ever
57:19
had on this podcast. Oh yeah, it's a perfect score. Yeah.
57:22
So first, this is the this is the first perfect score, is the
57:25
first perfect score and podcast years in you did you picked it? I picked
57:30
it? You you scored it. This is great. I might crush you
57:35
on this time travel draft here. It might. It might. If I
57:37
do lose, it's because of this moment right now. Yeah, very possible.
57:42
And end game would be the other reason I forget what's your time travel
57:45
comedy? Time travel comedy is Groundhog Day. No, no, that's your
57:51
romantic, that's your that's your romance. Romance. I think Midnight in Paris
57:54
is your comedy. I haven't mixed up. It's Midnight in Paris is my
57:58
comedy. Man, So Midnight in Paris is going up against Endgame. That's
58:02
that lineup. That's interesting. Oh okay, time travel, time travel draft.
58:13
All right, here's here's where it gets serious. Yeah, this is
58:16
true the time travel on this movie. Uh, this is the brutal part
58:21
because it's it's technically it's technically very bad. Uh time. I mean two
58:29
point five would be nice, but two is probably the real score. Uh
58:32
of two point two out of five. Yes, yeah, it's not good.
58:38
The time travel doesn't work. It works in the overall context of the
58:44
film, and it makes the film fun and enjoyable, and it does it
58:46
does what it needs to do to make you believe and make the film work.
58:50
But if we just grade it on specifically time travel, it is completely
58:53
flawed. So two point two is the score I have to give it,
58:57
which is maybe a little high, but it is. It is. You
59:01
took the words right out of my mouth. It does what it needs to
59:05
do, So for that it gets it's it's not a bottom score. So
59:09
for that, it's a it's a two for me. There we go,
59:13
Yeah it makes sense. Yeah, okay. And then in how it did
59:17
in the category, which the category was romance, romance, romantic time travel.
59:24
What are you giving it? Oh? I think, I mean it's
59:29
it's it's right on the money from a romance perspective. Granted, like it
59:34
is more about the relationship between father and son than it is, but it's
59:37
a fifty to fifty right, Like half the movies about finding the love of
59:40
your life, and then the other half of the movie is like dealing with
59:45
the families, like your your loved ones that you grew up with, like
59:52
progressing and changing in their lives and also you know, moving on. So
59:57
for romance, I have to give it of four point eight out of five.
1:00:01
I think it does well. I just don't want to give it a
1:00:04
five. But I think that it's not full romance because half of it is
1:00:09
more about the relationship between the family, your family, like him and his
1:00:15
father, which that's not really romance, right, that's like a different kind
1:00:19
of love. So full point eight out of five I am going to be
1:00:22
a little lower than you on this, but not a lot lower. I'm
1:00:27
going to say a four or five here. I agree with what you said
1:00:30
that you know, there's a big portion of this movie that is not romantic.
1:00:34
However, like most of the time travel in this movie is about romance,
1:00:38
like whether it's about his relationship with Mary or it's him driving to save
1:00:44
kit Kat from making it poor romantic decision. Yeah, true, most of
1:00:47
the time travel is for romance, So I think it works in the category
1:00:52
really well. Even if toward the end of the movie, you know,
1:00:57
it's more about life than it is about romance. Overall, it's still very
1:01:01
romantic. So yeah, four or five overall, Uh, it's it's a
1:01:07
great movie. I would say thank you for choosing this movie, but like,
1:01:12
fuck you for choosing this movie, because I wanted to choose this movie.
1:01:15
But either way, I'm super glad that we watched it. It is,
1:01:16
like you said, if you haven't watched it, go watch it.
1:01:19
It's so good. Ye yeah, awesome, that's a review right there.
1:01:23
Yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah, for we're in romance. So,
1:01:30
like you pointed out, thank you for reminding me. Groundhog Day is next
1:01:34
out and on the list, and somewhere in the cards, either next or
1:01:37
in between Dune. We are covering Dune part two. Yeah, I think
1:01:43
Dune. Dune Part two is next, because Dune Part two is next.
1:01:45
But until then, mayither of you be with you? He
