Time After Time

Please come on in to our big science company offices as we review what may or may not be the first ever time loop story in the history of the world this week! If you are an eagle-eyed timeslut, you will observe that the movie we are reviewing this week, 12:01 , came out the same year as Groundhog Day and, apparently, it was a whole thing. We discuss all of this as well as women in STEM, sexually-h...

It's our first two-parter! How exciting 4U! We're back with Tree and Carter and all our friends, who seem to have aged two years over night, but that's somehow not the most confusing time-related lore going on here. Buckle in, it's a long ride, but we have lots of fun talking about if you should kill your parents for your college boyfriend.  Content Warning: There's a suicide montage in this...

On Monday the 18th, we celebrate the birthday of both Theresa "Tree" Gelbman AND, more importantly, the birthday of her death-fueled time loop! This little time loop is truly a bundle of joy and has that new time-loop smell that we just can't get enough of. Anyway, this movie is a near-perfect combination of time-loop hijinks and murder-mystery hijinks, so enjoy! And don't take a lady to Subway on...

You know that classic thing where your husband cheats on you in 1979 so you get back at him by bragging about this hot guy you're seeing in 1899? But then you find out your 1899 boyfriend is going to die if you don't get this magic dress on fast enough to stop a duel? Tale as old as time. Come on this classic journey with us as we discuss whether Jennie is time traveling or just spiraling, whether...

Paige finally convinced Helena that ONE movie of the most popular time travel trilogy of all time fits into our "time travel romance" genre (emphasis on the ROMANCE). And boy, howdy, are we both glad she did. Did you guys know Back to the Future movies are good? And that good movies are fun to watch? Wild. We learn new things every day during these unprecedented times. Also, Paige would like to ta...

Are you already in your post-holidays slump? Well, fear not, because it's time to travel back in time to when it was still Christmas so we can bring you one last Christmas magic-filled time travel romp. Yes, that's right, carol-ers and all. Because who doesn't love a good carol? Honestly, your hosts. Nor do we really like all the preachy "back in the good ol' days" themes of this movie, but hey, w...

Happy Second Covid Christmas everyone! Merry Maskmas! Hope you are all staying safe, and we all know the safest activity during the holidays is to sit by yourself and listen to a podcast, specifically this podcast. And as our holiday gift to you...WE HAVE A NOONER! Woooo! Yes!!!! This movie is so bad that Paige at the end has to convince Helena to change her rating from 12:00 to 12:05 just so y'al...

Choo Choo! All aboard the Christmas train! It's that special time of year again, when all the time travel is fueled by Christmas magic and the lesson to be learned is always about love. The first installment in our 2021 series of Christmas-time-travel-romance movies, Next Stop, Christmas makes a lot of interesting choices -- starting with the comma in their title. They also have some fun stunt cas...

CW: This movie talks a lot about suicide (and not very well might we add). Thus, we also talk a lot about suicide in this episode (hopefully slightly less poorly?). If you don't want to listen to that, feel free to skip this episode. However, you should definitely listen if you think that any girl that was sort of mean to you in high school deserves to die. This movie is real wish fulfillment for...

Timesluts, Broadway fans, lend us your ears! This week we got to add a little Broadway flavor to the pod in the form of not one, not two, but THREE Broadway faves starring in a mediocre time travel movie (yes, we are counting that time that Orland Bloom was in a poorly reviewed Romeo and Juliet for a minute)! Will this be the closest thing we ever get to a time-travel musical? Maybe. Will we ever...

Oh, you haven't heard of My Future Boyfriend ? The ABC Family Original Movie starring that guy from 7th Heaven? Wow, you're uncultured. Well, no matter, we will introduce you to this cinematic classic and try not to get too distracted along the way by 7th Heaven and The Giver. But also, we're going to get too distracted along the way by 7th Heaven and The Giver. Also, stick around after the credit...

Oh hell to the yeah, time sluts! Almost a year to the day after we had our very first guest on the podcast, we have our very first repeat guest! And, crazily enough, it's the same person! And still the person that lives with Paige! Because we are creative and resourceful! Anyway, welcome back to your ears, Liam Bouquet, a PHD candidate in politics who is still banned from Twitter and still coparen...

Welcome to Time After Time, the podcast where, this week, as our guest aptly put it, we are "Guy Pearce-ing through Time". Yes, you can expect that wit and more as we are joined by Vince Hannam of Camp Kaiju: Monster Movie Talk to discuss the time travel romance/monster movie, The Time Machine . This 2002 version of the H.G. Wells classic is trying to do so much and ends up saying so little. It al...

Everyone, take a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief, because this movie, TIME FREAK, is truly a return to form for our little ol' podcast -- a slightly-bad romcom.  This is why we're here: on this pod, on this planet, on this temporal plane. We're here only to go over this problematic romance fueled by less-problematic time travel. Anyway, this movie is fun, and we have fun discussing i...

This movie has everything: A super-jacked J.K. Simmons! A delightfully hilarious Sam Richardson! Chris Pratt shooting things in the face! And so many daddy issues! What more could we want? I mean...besides better pacing, a more interesting plot, and less-confusing politics. Spoiler alert --  This movie is shockingly boring. But luckily, this episode is not. We are as witty as ever, Helena is...

It's the movie that is sort of our namesake, TIME AFTER TIME! How exciting! We discuss the title trajectory from this movie to our podcast on the episode, and obviously Cyndi Lauper is involved. We also discuss other, arguably less important, historical figures, H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper. Were they friends? Are they the only two people that were at all relevant to late 19th century London? Do...

Today, we complete our trifecta of Netflix Original time travel romcoms with Naked . Do you like our podcast but wish we did more close readings of 90s R&B Ballads? Well, your prayers have been answered. Buried in this beautiful episode is an answer to the age old question of "Does Brian McKnight's hit 'Back at One' actually make sense in any way?" We also have a super nuanced conversation abo...

LADIES, we DID just travel back to the 1950s! Really getting in the big ol' time machine and zipping on back for this one. Join us as we explore the black and white time period of 1951 and the technicolor time period of 1784. Also, if you can make it through all our jibber jabber about krumpets and bit coin, you'll be rewarded with a truly educational and insightful segment of Helena's Queer-Codin...

Picture it. Summer of 2006. Your fair hosts had just started going to PG-13 movies. Adam Sandler decides to get into the PG-13 time travel romance comedy business. Seems like a match made in heaven, no? No, as it turns out. Spoiler, nothing about this movie holds up and we now worry about what damage this did to our lil 13-year-old psyches. BUT LUCKILY, turns out extremely problematic movies lead...

Oh boy, this movie is a hot mess – a sort of waking nightmare, if you will. Obviously, we wanted to honor our muse, so this episode is a bit messy too. But definitely not a nightmare. Just good old fun at the expense of a little of our sanity. Honestly, you should listen to this just for the plot summary...a classic case of "We can't make this stuff up, folks!" and "We can't make this any funnier...

"STOP! In the name of clocks, before you break all time." Just a little preview of the creative genius you will be getting on this week's episode as we review the nostalgia film of a generation, Clockstoppers. You remember this one from your Nickelodeon days, unless you're Helena, and/or you're lame. There's also a mini-review of The Lizzie Mcguire Movie hidden somewhere in this episode because we...

Wow 2004 and 2006, such different, different times. How lucky are we to explore both of them and their differences in this week's film, The Lake House. This movie stars a true icon Sandra Bullock, her friend Keanu Reeves, a very cute dog, and a magical mailbox. What more could you ask for? Please enjoy our delight at the romance and our disgust at the truly irredeemable time travel inconsistencies...

Well, we have failed you time sluts. This movie is described as Jack going through alternate timelines to give his sister the perfect wedding. Sounds like time travel, no? Reviewers described this as a time travel movie, it is on lists of time travel romcoms, Helena Farhi, time travel EXPERT, saw it before we even began this podcast and was like, yes, this is time travel movie. AND YET. No one in...

It feels like the entire podcast has been leading to this moment. We finally get to talk about the Academy Award winning Shrek saga. We specifically get to talk about the time travel antics and romance in the final (maybe? for now?) installment of the series, Shrek Forever After. This movie was truly a delight, and we hope that delight seeps right on through this episode and into your ears and the...

One movie; three names...endless possibilities? Does the man actually have rain in his boots? Are there two yesterdays? Will Penelope Cruz ever actually appear in this movie? These are all questions we will answer for you on this special HELENA'S BIRTHDAY EDITION of the pod. Yes, that's right, it's Helena's second quarantine birthday and all she wants is for you to listen to our podcast and agree...
