We are all interested in the future, which is why in this episode Alex and Jonathan take a look at some prominent entries into the time travel sub-genre of science fiction, specifically: Time After Time (1979), Back to the Future (1985), Groundhog Day (1993), and Tenet (2020). We discuss the various mechanisms for implementing time travel into a plot, how the device does or doesn't influence the deeper levels of the story, and how treating the details of time travel too seriously or too loosely might detract from the overall effect of the story.Skip to: 7:37 – Time After Time 25:21 – Back to the Future 45:38 – Groundhog Day 1:05:05 – Tenet Coming Attractions: Mighty Joe Young (1949) The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) Jason and the Argonauts (1963) Clash of the Titans (1981)For more information, visit the blog:https://thefilmlings.wordpress.com/2022/09/07/time-travelJoin us on Discord for ongoing film discussion:https://discord.gg/MAF6jh59cFSupport the Show!Patreon: https://patreon.com/thefilmlingsKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thefilmlings
