"Predestination" is the kind of time travel movie that doesn’t “twist” so much as it tightens a knot around your brain. We break down the bootstrap paradox in plain terms and compare it to other time travel stories.

Jon, Tricia and Michael pour an Old Underwear Old Fashioned and sit down with returning guest Pete Guither to unpack why this 2014 time travel thriller feels so perfectly locked, from the first strange glimpse of the Fizzle Bomber to the moment the whole timeline snaps into place.
