Edge Of Tomorrow Minute

Minute 32 opens on a brief second of doubt and ends on a brief second of truth We Discuss: Tom Cruise's Insanity Bill Paxton's Intimidation Face  Bill Cage living out his life in Prison Kuntz's happy place  Is Cage trapped in a loop, or is he a magician? Will they or won't they (eat cards) Why we're not wrong on our loop count.

  Linguistically, we say the word "Sandvalanche" more than it seems like you should and we coin the term "Jacket Stack". We discuss:  Retirement of "Hey!" as a warning.  We experiment with the effectiveness of other warning styles.  Cage's inability to affect the time loop. Jacket sound design.  UDF Logistical Unit Specialist Inventory Management Systems. Cage's tackling technique.

Minute 29 begins with Farrell talking about Courage and ends with a trip to the beach. In this episode we theorize about Tom's theoretical rocky relationship with accents, we explore the liminal space between Deja Vu and Memory and look at why the "literal definition of insanity" is not doing the same thing and expecting different results.  At least not when you're caught in a time loop.

Minute 28 begins with Sgt Farrell asking a series of semi-rhetorical questions and ends with Sgt. Farrell reassuring us that it's ok to be…something.   We discuss the heavy-handed foreshadowing of the early loops in a time-looping movie, how sound mixing can help change the focus of a scene we've seen before, some rules of thumb for prosciutto ordering, and the basics of Jacket construction.   Com...

Minute 27 opens on Cage talking about the Forge and ends in the Crack of Farell's ass.

Minute 23 opens on concerns for Rita's safety and ends on concerns for Cage's Safety Cage reunites with J-squad. We miss a great opportunity to make a "The Thing" analogy and instead make a vague call-back to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" We discuss the ham-fisted Safety metaphor in detail. We make more than one Alien/Aliens reference Join our listener's group on Facebook: https://www.facebook....

In Minute 22, the intro gets accidentally "sexy".  We appologize.  The minute begins with "The Bitch Squad" exiting a downed dropship and ends with Rita in a Hero's Pose. We get our first exposure to a Mimic in action, talk about the physics of Rita's "sword" and theorize about the mass and fighting capabilities of a Mimic. A nice discussion of the fx in Edge of Tomorrow, including the Tentacle Al...

Cage explores his "will they/won't they" relationship with his shoulder-mounted release tab. And we coin the phrase "Sandvalanche".  It's more of a portmanteau really.  

Where we briefly discuss Six Flags over St. Louis' Superman Tower of Power ride.  And Minute 19 of Edge of Tomorrow.

Minute 17: The Multi Squad Minute Where we talk about multiple squads. At least 2.

Cece Pleasants returns to ask the hard questions, like: What's occurrin'? and Is that a cricket bat?
