Time Babble

A comedy and film podcast exploring the wonderful world of time travel films in all their multi-dimensional glory. We love the unusual, the lost and the little known, avoiding the more obvious time travel choices. Although the occasional classic might slip through the net.Every episode, we babble about a film that’s specifically about time travel, or that generally plays with the concept of time. We get excited about the good bits, poke fun at the bad bits, and radically change the plot if we think it’s possible to improve the film. Sometimes we even get serious, and throw in the odd, ill-informed TED talk. Although we easily get distracted from the facts, and the conversation usually wanders way off topic. We often end up loving the faulty films, and finding fault with films we love. Time Babble is as fickle as you are! We’re also duty bound by our cultural mandate to end each episode with POETRY, so do listen out for our internationally renowned, Nobel-awarded ‘Haiku or Limerick’

  6.1 The Stone Tape (1972) "Wrist Deep in Chuffy"

  Jan 23, 202659 minS6

  <p>This week we are babbling about The Stone Tape (1972).</p> <p>The Stone Tape is what happens when the BBC in the early ’70s says “Let’s make a horror film, but also let’s make it aggressively beige and full of men wearing turtle-necks and  shouting about science.” And honestly, it’s delightful. That is, if you ignore the casual misogyny and the not-so-casual racism.</p> <p>We reluctantly follow a team of cutting‑edge researchers, well, cutting‑edge for 1972, meaning they have clipboards, enormous computers that go beep and absolutely no concept of workplace safety or women's rights. They move...

  5.6 Autopsia de un Fantasma (1967) "Beautiful Robot Farts"

  Dec 12, 202556 minS5

  <p>Howdy Babblers. Prepare to have your brains melted! For our film this week is Autopsia de un Fantasma (Autopsy of a Ghost) from 1968 (date confusion intended).</p> <p>Watching Autopsy of a Ghost is a bit like stumbling into a Halloween party where the host forgot the theme halfway through and instead decided to smoke a huge bifter and throw in any oddity that sprung to mind, whether it made sense, or, preferably, not. </p> <p>Directed by Ismael Rodríguez, the film stars Basil Rathbone as Canuto Pérez, a ghost who can separate himself from his horny lif...

  5.5 Edge of Tomorrow (2014) "Consider the Pipe"

  Nov 14, 202537 minS5

  <p>This episode we are babbling about a film that may, or may not be called Edge of Tomorrow (2014).</p> <p>When Earth is invaded by aliens that look like angry spaghetti with Wi-Fi issues, humanity turns to its last hope: little Timmy Cruise in a Waldo. </p> <p>Tim Tom plays Major William Cage, a PR guy who’s never seen combat and is afraid of the dentist, but suddenly finds himself on the front lines because... reasons. He dies almost immediately. The end.</p> <p>Wishful thinking dear Babbler. He then wakes up. And dies again. And again. And...

  5.4 The Butterfly Effect (2004) "The Bleakest Granola Bar"

  Oct 31, 202552 minS5

  <p>This week we’re babbling about The Butterfly Effect (2004) starring Ashton Kutcher as a very, very troubled individual, with more suppressed trauma than you can shake a large stick at, but who unlocks the ultimate party trick: time travel via wibbly-wobbly journal reading. </p> <p>Instead of using this power to, say, invest wisely in the stock market or prevent global disasters, Evan decides to fix his own messy past, one ridiculously awkward moment at a time.</p> <p>Although every time he flaps his metaphorical butterfly wings, reality slaps him in his square-jawed fizzog with a new nightmare: Sa...

  5.3 River (2023) "Cry Me a River"

  Oct 17, 202539 minS5

  <p>Hey Babbler!</p> <p>This week we are babbling about River (2023), directed by Junta Yamaguchi, known for his earlier cult hit Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (2020). This film once again showcases his knack for turning high-concept sci-fi into intimate, character-driven storytelling.</p> <p>We clearly love this film, so you may well (you will) hear us gush with praise, as we reluctantly take it all apart and put it back together again. Like a beautiful time-jigsaw. Or poking a hole through a paper wall.</p> <p>Set in a picturesque ryokan (traditional inn) in Kyoto, River traps its characters...
