You Are Here: The Time Travel Podcast

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Jenna Hanlon joins and we get heady and weird talking about ‘The Matrix’ as we time travel to the halcyon days of 1999 and the dystopian AI future of 2199. We get into everything from religion to simulation theory to identity, while Neo shoots his way through the lobby and our childhoods.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Editor, graphic designer, and producer Fred Bonheim joins as we time travel to 1940 with the OG South Park, Charlie Chaplin’s seminal parody ‘The Great Dictator’. We dig into the propaganda, the consequences, and how it amazingly feels like it’s written for us today.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Jenna Hanlon returns so we can revisit Tiny Skull World and James Cameron’s prophetic warnings about AI in 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day. We flip our learning switches and get into everything from the catchphrases to the 90s aesthetic to the existential threat.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Danielle Lee joins to talk about that other great time travel trilogy, Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy. We dig into ‘Before Sunrise,’ ‘Before Sunset,’ and ‘Before Midnight.’

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Today’s episode is a little different, as Katy Rusch and I took a detour during our recent discussion on John Carpenter’s The Thing to talk about special effects in a conversation that deserved its own episode. This time, we time travel across an entire 15-year period to talk about the transition that special effects went through as the CG era took over, what it means for the way we feel about movies that have become so reliant on it, and the 15-year period at the beginning of this century where movies can never be remastered.
