They dive deep into the major plot points and themes of the top of the bellcurve - that's a movie - movie '2067'. They touch on the time travel element, the concept of fate, and the implications of changing the past. They also critique the scripting and plot execution of the film.

WE'RE BACK (for real this time).

Travel back in time with Emily and Neil, all the way to January 2024 when the year had just begun and still held such promise, such fear, and such wonder. As in, I wonder what is going on with this film, 2067??

We're also experimenting with shorter but more frequent episodes, so if you're loving it (or not) let us know in the comments!
