Time Babble: Recent Episodes
Time Babble
”Babbling about time travel movies since 1888.”
A podcast exploring the multi-faceted nonsense of time travel films and related cultural artefacts. Each episode, we discuss a film that’s specifically about time travel, or generally plays with the concept of time. It may help to watch the films we discuss, but it’s not essential, as we tend to get easily distracted from the facts, and the conversation may wander off topic.
We consider what we do a public service, and in some cases the films are so bad we’d openly discourage you from actually watching them. Although there’s always fun to be had, and we usually end up ’lovingly disparaging’ the films we like too. Time Babble is as fickle as you are.
This week we’re babbling about the cinematic masterpiece The Lakehouse (2006) starring Speed lovers Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
Our film charts the almost-nearly-romance of a sincere, but deathly dull couple separated by time. Well, separated by two years in actuality. Not that long in the grand scheme of things, you’d think? And if it really was love, we’re sure the most romantic thing to do would be to wait a bit. But do they? They do not. Although what do we idiots know about love? Turns out, quite a lot, as we bid a welcome return of our critically acclaimed ‘Romance Corner’ section!
It turns out that our love-struck puppies need the help of an actual puppy, in the shape of Jack the dog, to move their relationship along. Jack is a magic dog. She can play chess, sniff out future lovers up to two years and 500 miles away and cause a distraction when you potentially get too close to an actual admirer who not only exists in the here and now, but is patiently pining away by your side (with a spinach pie). There is nothing so blind in love as an architect.
So prepare your post box dear listener, as Time Babble are ready to deliver you dispatches from the intriguingly bland future past. Keep your flag up! Oh, and if you can tell us what in all holy hell The Wootch is, you win a prize.
Pickup truck.

This week we are babbling about a film that needs no introduction.
Which, in a way, is an introduction in itself. But what of it? What do you want from us? Consistency? Clarity? If so, maybe this isn’t the podcast for you… Or is it?
Anyway, rambling philosophical questions aside, The Terminator was created (stolen?) in 1984 by a pre-Smurf obsessed little Jimmy Cameron, and features buns of all kinds: Mr Big Buns (obvs), and the two naked tight-tight buns of our post-lightning alley heroes, Arnold and Michael. Oh and skulls. Endless skulls. And even more skulls.
Basically, a stinking ‘borg (in the form of the actual president of the USA) has been tasked by a bunch of toasters to murderise the mum of a freedom fighter to protect a future that’s dominated by white goods, whose only use for humans is either to die, or make sure the future robots are shiny and clean. Or something like that.
But, as is tradition, we get distracted by how atrocious GDPR was in the past, the similarity of surgeons to serial killers and just why machines don’t like microwaves or lie detectors. So join us, as we celebrate the twilight of humanity and exterminate the Terminator!

Episode latest the to welcome and hello.
This week we’re babbling about the extraordinary Happy End (1967), a deliriously wonderful film, directed by Oldřich Lipský. It’s a delight from end to beginning, as we explore one man's journey from death/birth to birth/death.
Mostly dismissed as a throwaway piece of lightweight fluff on release, the film now stands shoulder to shoulder with its more arty brothers and sisters as an equally incredible example of the breadth of films that Czech cinema was producing at that time.
While not strictly a time travel film as such, Happy End more than generally messes about with the concept of time, as we follow hapless psychopath Mensik, from from the guillotine to the crib. Murdered brides are reanimated, food is stolen from a hippo's mouth, there’s more geese that we could count, and an uncomfortable amount of chewing.
It’s also the ultimate example of the unreliable narrator, as what we see, what Mensik actually does, and how he describes it, are quite often at polar opposites. Delightfully inventive and funny, it’s also a surprisingly uncomfortable watch, very much exploring the darker side of dark comedy…

This week we’re babbling about I’ll Never Forget You (1951).
The film is a curious mix of sci-fi, noir and costume drama and was directed by Roy Ward Baker of Hammer and Amicus fame. It stars TYRONE POWER (possibly the best name on planet earth) as a man out of time, forever longing to go back and hang out with his ancestors during the ‘Age of Reason’.
And so with a flash of lightning, back to a glorious technicolour 18th Century we go. Although it’s not quite as witty and intellectual as TYRONE POWER had hoped for, as Tom, (his friendly, foppish, inebriate guide to this new world), shows him around the mud-coated Hogarth-esque squalor of the back streets of London, full of poverty, gambling and bedlam!
TYRONE POWER thinks he has read all the diaries, and done all the research. However when an unknown chinless beauty walks through the door, everything he thinks he knows is now not known, and the future/past he thought he knew, is more unknowable than when he knew what he used to know…
Join us, as we discover that being American is pretty much the same as being in league with the devil, knowing things that are just about to happen is the worst way to make friends, and olden times police investigations are thorough, but not in the way you might expect.
Thankfully, listening to Time Babble isn’t against the law yet (even if it should be), although prepare for people to accuse you of Witchcraft if they do catch you listening to us.

This week we’re babbling about Terror at London Bridge (1985). The film is also known by the ever so slightly better title of Bridge Across Time and was originally a TV movie directed by the unfeasibly named Egbert Warnderink Swackhamer Jr!
The film stars the legend that is David ‘The Hoff’ Hasslehoff as a troubled cop, trying to forget a traumatic incident from his past. Specifically, a rogue incident with a can opener and a tin of beans. Now based at the relocated London Bridge in Arizona, he stumbles upon an ‘almost enough to have you institutionalised’ theory that Jack the Ripper is somehow back from the dead and up to his old tricks, through some entirely unconvincing ‘reasons’.
The film also stars genre veteran Adrienne Barbeau, alongside Stepfanie Kramer as The Hoff’s wildly inappropriate workplace-stalky-romantic interest.
To offset the endless scenery chewing, we enjoy innocent school kids pointing at bodies floating in a river, a library that seems more interested in trying to get you to go to the cinema, film extras that seem to have lost even the ability to walk naturally and you’ll also find out why the House of Horrors is only named so on the inside of the building..? And to add insult to injury (yes, it’s that kind of film) an indifferent The Hoff is also treated to a romantic meal, and no, it’s not even Mac ‘n’ Cheese!
So join us dear Babbler, as we venture trepidatiously to London Village, to see what the flip is going on.

Welcome one & all, to Time Babble Series Four!
To kick start this new series we invite you to join us in our attempt to change the course of world history. And when ‘we’ say ‘us’ we mean the protagonists of our ’their’ film…
This week we are babbling about LOLA (2022), which was made when the world was still in lockdown, and the great plague was rife.
The film was directed by Andrew Legge, and stars Emma Appleton alongside Stefanie Martini as two orphaned sisters who invent a magic machine that can see into the future. Well, that is anything that has been broadcast via radio or the telly box.
All goes well at first: grooving to Bowie, digging Dylan and watching the occasional moon landing (which definitely happened, just ask Mr Kubrick and the Spice Girls).
Until… footage of those pesky Nazis starts to appear.
LOLA is a great example of the found footage genre done remarkably well. So well in fact you can’t see most of the joins. Is that really Mr Hitler meeting our sisters? Yes. Yes it is.
So take a massive piss, blow up your Nazi Whores balloons, put on your marching boots and dance to a very different (but very regular) beat.

Hey groovy cats! Strap on your time belts and join us for the final episode of Series Three. Do we have a treat for you!
Well, when we say treat, we really mean: here is a film that no one can quite remember. And that film is Dimension 5 (1966), ‘directed’ by Frank Adreon and starring ‘old blue eyes’ himself, Jeffrey Hunter. The film was part of a series of made-for-television features, although some of them did sneak into cinemas.
Our film features not-lifts, copy-cat corridors and art galleries hiding spy headquarters. Spy headquarters, of course, with well stocked bars. Perfect for inventing, leering, drinking, and torturing your enemies.
We travel, via Pan Am (obvs) to many exotic locations, most of which (all) are situated just outside the film studio. The film features agents, double agents, not not not agents, bomb owls, a traffic jam, Genghis!, truculent waiters, booze and bikini shops, and much, much more…
There is no way you’ll want to miss this thrilling episode! It starts with fireworks, and goes downhill from there.

This week we have a special bonus episode for all you Babblers, as we venture nervously out into what is regularly described as the ‘real world’, for a live time travel theatre experience at the Leeds Playhouse. The Time Machine (2023) is a three person play, created by the Original Theatre company, starring George Kemp as George, Amy Revelle as Amy, and Michael Dylan as Michael. Clever stuff.
ENJOY the palpable sense of FEAR of your hosts as they experience live theatre! LISTEN to them cower in DREAD from the realities of matinee audiences! FEEL their DEEP DISCOMFORT as audience participation starts to happen! And keeps on happening. And keeps on happening.
That’s not to say we didn’t have a lovely time to bring you, dear listener, some dispatches from the front: including under-utilised clocks, over-utilised panto, and lone-sweeping, pie-eating stagehands.
Time Babble Series Three, Episode Twelve, is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and other good podcast services.

Clasp/cuddle lovingly your existential fear and dread tightly to your chest, and join us, as we explore one of the greatest films ever made: Wild Strawberries (1957), written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. The film stars many of Bergman regulars; Bibi Andersson, Gunnar Björnstrand, Ingrid Thulin, a small yet memorable cameo from Ming von Sydow, and Clive Dunn.
The film follows Isak Borg (masterfully played by Victor Sjöström) over 24 hours, as he journeys to receive an honorary degree. On the way Isak (almost definitely) travels back in time, to rediscover what it means to be alive and accept the inevitable journey to the next realm. That’s right dear listener - it’s fun fun fun all the way!
On the road to enlightenment (or rather, drifting off into our own existential Christmas Carol), we discuss the real influences on Stanley Kubrick’s career, discover the history of smiles, peek longingly at Zarkov shorts, and mistake strawberries for plums.
Intrigued? You should be. Time Babble dares to go to the corners of cinema that other podcasts cower in fear of…

Yo Cyberpunks! Have we got a chaotic treat for you! Prepare to be dragged screaming into The Adventure of Denchu-Kozo (1987), an acid lucid dream of a film from legendary filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto.
This was one of Tsukamoto’s very first films and was originally created as a theatre piece. We have no idea how this would have been possible, and can only dream that a time machine would transport us back to see the theatre production in the living flesh. Which indeed we have, dear reader.
The film is about a young boy with a telegraph pole protruding from his back. He is transported into the future and must somehow save the world from bad weather, Goth vampires and many, many other things that we can’t describe, things that we won’t describe, things that we… well, hopefully you get the idea that it’s indescribable (which it is).
The film was shot on 8mm and has all the trademarks of the off-kilter, left-field genius that Tsukamoto was going to unleash on an unsuspecting world. If you dare to join us, our new episode is out now.
Insert your wires… now!

Happy Easter nerds!
This week we’ve gone into EASTER OVERLOAD with the psychedelic stop-motion classic Here Comes Peter Cottontail (1971).
This TV special was created by the ‘almost definitely not’ drug-crazed minds of Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin. Between them they are responsible for literally millions of seasonal classics, including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) and Frosty the Snowman (1969).
It’s a fun-filled hour of eggstravagant mind-altering ‘storytelling’, which features Danny Kaye as narrator Seymour S. Sassafras (he also voices, the umm, ‘French’ caterpillar Antoine) and Vincent Price, as the evil January Q. Irontail. Our lazy, fib-filled hero Peter Cottontail is voiced by Casey Kasem, who was the voice of Shaggy in the original Scooby Doo cartoons.
So stare into your favourite egg and join us, as we try to work out what on our good earth is going on, and jump into the Yestermorrowmobile (? no, us neither) and fly, very, very slowly into the future (or possibly the past - we’re still not sure which direction they went in). We’ll meet spiders fired from rockets, bunnies in April Valley who deliver chicken eggs to ungrateful youths, sassy witches who just need love (like the rest of us), and talking hats.
This is our second musical time travel film, and the whole thing is just as much fun as Brigadoon was. Honest.
So drop your chocolate, forgo your eggs and open your ears to our seasonal babbling.

Bonjour..!
This week we are babbling about Camille Redouble (2012), written and directed by Noémie Lvovsky, who also stars in the lead role. The film is a loose remake of Peggy Sue Got Married and makes a perfect double bill with last week’s episode. It takes the basic premise of Peggy, but moves the now into the 2000s and the then into the 1980s.
It’s a beautiful, more thoughtful version of the story and Noémie turns in an astonishing lead performance filled with subtlety and poignancy. The film is another fine example of the wonders the eclectic world of time travel can burp up, and how the same story can be completely different (and much improved) in the right hands.
On the way to enlightenment however, we survive a blood soaked opening scene and visit a fancy dress party filled with an almost unending list of guests, which yours truly (understandably) takes maybe a bit too long to describe (nearly) every, single, one.
Meanwhile, we encounter weird Judi and her lover Lemmy from Motorhead as Camille’s parents, kids jumping from windows to escape the nonsense that is High School, and the creeping realisation that your school years were your best and worst times all rolled into one.
It’s safe to say we loved this film, and so will you.
Au revoir nerds.

This week we’re babbling about nostalgia-fest Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Kathleen Turner as Peggy Sue, in a dazzling lead performance. It also features another couple of Coppolas: the overacting, nasally-challenged-Nosferatu himself, Nicolas Cage, as Peggy’s childhood sweetheart and soon to be divorced husband, alongside future award-winning director Sofia Coppola, as Peggy’s little sister.
Put on your prom dress and travel back to the 60s..! where we encounter the howling-puke poetry of teen beatnik (and Peggy’s secret crush), Michael, visit time-travelling cult lodges, and you’re unsure, discover that the best way to tell if you are real or not, is to hurl yourself in front of a fire truck. (Don’t) try this at home, kids.
The film is steeped in nostalgia for a time that probably didn’t actually exist. But whilst sugar-coated memories are not always to be re-lived, the film is well worth a look, and is an odd, but oddly satisfying revisit for our 2024 eyes. The film also unexpectedly led us to the next movie we’ll be babbling about. However, we're getting ahead of ourselves with that one…

Get ready to board the next flight to whenever!
This week we’re babbling about the Czech time travel classic Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea / Zítra vstanu a opařím se čajem (1977) directed by Yindřizich Polák.
The film is a lighthearted comedy with quite heavy overtones and tackles that age-old problem of a group of those pesky futuristic Nazis, who want to travel back in time to help Hitler win the Second World War. But they are relying on the slightly corrupt leanings of a womanising time pilot, without realising he has an identical twin with a very different set of ideals. What’s the worst that can happen?
Well this can happen: a couple American tourists are kidnapped on the journey back to WW2. Although they delight in the on-board space jelly they’re served for lunch and are more than happy to have selfies taken with Hitler himself. However, who packed the suitcase? Could it contain lingerie, or a hydrogen bomb?!
Don’t worry, all will work out fine! Unless we have to spray you green to get you to comply. Although make sure you have both your legs attached before you start listening to our latest babble. Join us for your post-Valentine’s ‘treat’...

Ding! Ding! All aboard!
Next stop, the Time Babble Christmas Special!
This week we’re babbling about Last Train to Christmas (2021), starring Michael Sheen, playing twelve versions of Tony, a troubled nightclub impresario, Cary Elwes as his bottoms popped off, not-alcoholic not-brother, together with a host of other characters that may, or may not exist.
On the last Christmas Eve train from London to Nottingham, Tommy/Tony jumps forwards and backwards by decades, as he wanders from carriage to carriage, creating havoc with his timeline, and multiple versions of his family.
As it’s our festive special, we’ve been scouring message boards and fansites to bring you as much fact and truths as we can stomach. Which, let’s face it, when our stomachs are full of Rumbas and Watneys Party Seven, is not a lot.
So gather round the warm festive log fire dear Babblers, to hear tales of Colditz board game etiquette, murder walls, exploding children, and an exhaustive list of Tony’s iterations.
Come stamp on butterflies with us!

Get ready to climb the magical staircase as we babble about the time travelling film noir gem Repeat Performance (1947). The film is often overlooked, but overlooked no more as we delve into its sequinned delights!
The film stars Joan Leslie as Sheila Page, who opens the film with a gun in her hand and her almost always drunk husband Barney, dead at her feet. And then things start to get a little more complicated as we relive the year leading up to the fateful shooting.
On the way though, we encounter poets, drunks, shower caps, another invalid waddle, theatre folk, parping orange blossoms, the source of The Smiths’ entire back catalogue and inevitable break-up, along with a whole heap o’ deceit!
The film is a great example of how even the genres you think you know can throw the odd curveball every now and then. As Time Babble would too, if we could throw.

Grab hold of your time twin and get thee to a nunnery. It’s time for Biggles!
This week we’re babbling about Biggles: Adventures in Time (1986). It’s a joy of a film and one of Time Babble HQs favourite time travel movies.
Biggles was the creation of W.E. Johns, who wrote nearly a hundred novels following Biggles adventures during wartime. The film itself screams 80’s! From its music, fashion, and the beautiful street punks gathered around a brazier.
It also features the last film appearance by the legendary gentleman of horror, Peter Cushing, who puts in a traditionally exemplary performance despite the nonsense that is going on around him, including his pooping pet raven.
So prepare your Celebrity Dinner, grab your actors' final movie checklist, ready yourself to pull out a German soldier’s eyeball and ride the time-lightning, into this week's episode of Time Babble!

This week we dive head first into the sparkling and inviting waters of the Children's Film Foundation.
The Children's Film Foundation was for decades a way for new and established directors and actors at the end of their career, to make films aimed at, and starring kids.
Our film stars Patrick Troughton as the mysterious time travelling inventor, Professor Wagstaff, currently hanging out in an abandoned castle in a public park. We’ve extensively researched and we’re pretty sure this was a unique role for Mr Troughton and sadly he never played a time traveller before or since.
Two school kids ignore the ‘Danger of Death’ sign outside, (and typically everything potentially dangerous about the 1970s) and wander in to see what’s going on. Like the kids, the film pretty much ignores facts, history and continuity, but the kids, Troughton, and the audience have a pretty fun time along the way. Just like Time Babble.
We follow the same characters and their ancestry all the way back to the Stone Age and a rather dodgy looking bear, via that pesky WW2, and all the way back to the now. Although their now is very much the then of 1978. Oh, and the film has an amazing soundtrack, a little bit like a jaunty version of Kraftwerk. But better.

Welcome to Series Three of Time Babble!
We celebrate our new series with a modern time travel classic, in the 3D watery shape of Donnie Darko (2001). The film is the directorial debut of Richard Kelly, and stars both Jake and Maggie Gyllenhall, alongside Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, Mary McDonnell, and Katherine Ross.
It’s the simple story of a narcoleptic young man who may or may not be conversing with a six foot bunny rabbit at the end of the world. This is no fluffy-wuffy Peter Rabbit of a bunny though, but it does turn out that Beatrix Potter’s watercolour palette includes a lovely shade of ‘gorefest red’.
Despite the dark mournfulness (of both film and pod), there are many funny moments, as we discover the best Lorne Green gag in movie history, welcome the return of ‘Ask an Idiot’, and to add sparkle to our motion, the widely beloved ‘Haiku or Limerick’ section completes our traditionally poetic denouement.
So grab your earmuffs and join us, as we attempt to put our cross at the love end of the fear/love scale.

Welcome to the Time Babble goes to the Movies Summer Special!
This week, we’re babbling about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, released in cinemas summer 2023.
The film stars Harrison Ford (obvs), alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Toby Jones, and some old(er) familiar faces. It’s the first in the series not directed by Steven Spielberg, or with story input from George Lucas. Consequently, it’s a fun, if slightly fluffy ride, and nowhere as bad as ‘the Indy film that dare not be named for fear of a curse’.
Once again, (a heavily de-aged) Harrison Ford is fighting them pesky Nazis, whilst a regularly aged Harrison Ford is coming to terms with his 1960s retirement. But hold on there! He’s soon back on the archeological hunt, racing around in Tuk-Tuks and resolving the classic conundrum of whether a horse can run faster than a subway train.
Indy also gets to meet all the famous people. But which is the most famous? The answer is obvious, if we cared to tell. Which naturally, we don’t.
So, does the film belong in a museum for future generations to admire, or does it sink to the bottom of the bath along with Archimedes’ potatoes?

This week we’re babbling about Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), directed by Colin Trevorrow, and starring Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson and Karan Soni.
The film is about a real fake classified ad, seeking a companion to travel in time, and is a delightfully low budget film that many people may have missed on its original release. Let’s make that right!
Our lo-fi indie babbling covers all the up-to date pop culture questions, such as ‘What was the spin-off from either Dallas or Dynasty that features a spaceship?’, alongside ‘How do you stack your soup?’, ‘Do you take your Star Wars figures out of the box?’, and ‘Is it really a car chase if all the cars are only travelling at 15 miles an hour?’
All of these questions and many more, may not be answered in our latest podcast.

This week we’re babbling about time travel film royalty: Flight of the Navigator (1986), directed by Randal Klieser, and starring Joey Cramer, Veronica Cartwright and the voice of Paul Reubens as Max.
Our 80s synth-induced babbling visits the only public toilet in Florida, first gig confessions, futuristic robot post vehicles that still need a Sarah Jessica Parker to help deliver the mail, the most incompetent security this side of a heavily monitored NASA base, and some cows. Count them. Oh, and the best dog-based title sequence ever committed to film.
The film stands the test of time, and is an essential rewatch. Or if you’re one of our younger listeners, you‘ll be able to check out the olden times, when you were encouraged by your parents to go wander in the scary woods all alone, via the railway tracks, at night.
We am, we’ll be.
Time Babble Series Two, Episode Nine is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and all good podcast services. If you can’t find it on your usual streaming service, please write in to the usual address.

This week we're babbling about The Time Travelers (1964), directed by Ib Melchior and produced by the legendary Samuel Z. Arkoff. The film was released by American International Pictures, who are best known for their low budget ‘B’ movies with high production values.
Our own zero budget babbling this week features futuristic musical instruments, impressive (and not so impressive) magic tricks, Danny the Electrician (YAAAY!) and his lusty antics (could he be one of the greatest screen comedians of all time?), The Cramps (yes, The Cramps!) in space, and a preposterously comprehensive, if lengthy, audit of space sex robots.
Despite what you might assume from our meandering insights, the film is full of fun, with some quite impressive sets and costume designs. Albeit alongside possibly one of the most confusingly bleak endings in cinematic history.
Join us, and Danny the Electrician (YAAAY!), for our latest Babble.
Time Babble Series Two, Episode Eight is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and all good podcast services. If you can’t find it on your usual streaming service, please write in to the usual address.

This week we're babbling about episode six from the first series of the classic tv show, The Outer Limits (1963): The Man Who Was Never Born. It was written by Anthony Lawrence, directed by Leonard Horn and stars a very young Martin Landau.
For those who have sensitivity towards frogs, please consider this a warning, as we expose the underwritten obsession this episode has with our amphibian friends. However, the listener can console themselves with various distractions, including alien shape-shifting, the lady’s pocket, the accuracy of french pronunciation, and mutant fingers, tickling a dog.

Hey, listen! This week we're babbling about 65, or 65 Million Years Ago Prehistoric Earth had a Visitor (2023), directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and starring Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt, fighting off a render farm's worth of dinosaurs.
On the very first Time Babble live trip out to the cinema, our tiny brains were duped into thinking this was a time travel movie, which embarrassingly, it certainly is not. Oh, but it could be… it really should be…
But, as you well know by now dear listener, here at Babble HQ we neither shirk our duty, nor give a tinker's cuss about our own rules, nor indeed do we want to waste the money we’d already spent on what was otherwise a wonderful day out. So keep your ears peeled and you'll be presented with our traditional mix of deeply researched critique and shameless gaggery, covering such erudite profundities as the Hand Ocarina™, a particular 90s acid-rave pop banger, the benefits of writing with curry powder and, um, our very first buttterfly-based concept pub venture.

This week we're babbling about two films from the BBC Play for Today series: The Flipside of Dominick Hide (1980) and its sequel Another Flip for Dominick (1982). Both plays were directed by Alan Gibson and co-written with Jeremy Paul.
The plays star Peter Firth as Dominick, Caroline Langrishe as his past love Jane, Pippa Guard as his future wife Ava, and Patrick Magee as Caleb (a.k.a. Future Scrooge).
Both ‘Flips represent the very best of BBC drama in its heyday, and an oddity for the 80s, as everyone is so damn nice to each other! Indeed, if the listener can count the number of times we say ‘nice’ during the podcast, you’ll win a prize! (you won’t).
So pour yourself a Gilbey’s gin and tonic, strap yourselves into your time-machine-UFO-special-effect and prepare to flip back to a more ‘innocent’ time, of super-young British character actors, creepy giant teddy bears, future-altering pooches, an earworm of a theme song, and far too much Brush Stroking for our liking.
Both of these films are flipping brilliant, so are well worth travelling into the future past to seek them out.

This week we’re babbling about Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (2020), written by Makoto Ueda and directed by Junta Yamaguchi.
But before we do, and just for you our dear and loyal listener, we invite you to gorge on some extracurricular babble about our supporting Doraemon cartoon: The Time Machine is Lost (2005). Yaaaaay!
This unfeasibly joyful and wildly overemoting short, is just a tiny part of an expansive collection of manga, TV and anime, featuring this feline cultural icon. Come grab hold of a monster’s ball from the giant pouch of a future cat-like robot!
In no less strange and hilarious fashion, in our feature babble we attempt (with our tiny brains) to fathom the recursive complications of a beautifully precise and constructed ‘one-take’ film... sidetracked as we are by Cotton Eye Joe, the inaugural mention of gloriously bleak Hungarian master filmmaker Béla Tarr, and predictions of the future, with the tasty jams & jellies of the most notorious historical Snake Oilsman of them all - Nostradamus!

Greetings from the Time Babble Zeppelin!
This week we’re babbling about It Happened Tomorrow (1944), directed by René Clair, and starring Dick Powell, Linda Darnell and Jackie Oakie.
This terrific tale of tabloid-based time travel is a perfect example of the endless variety of this most generous of genres. Who would've thought that we’d find Time Babble HQ’s favourite, if most elusive, slang phrase (yes, we’ve all got ‘em) “23 Skidoo”, snuggled inside this warm, funny and charming comedy.
But have no fear, our loyal Babblers, for within a few minutes you'll be merrily chuckling along with us. Together we’ll discover: who really shot Abraham Lincoln, what the ‘Cad and his Dicks’ get up to on their boozy nights off; witness a serious amount of Police related bottom-kicking, and enjoy the first appearance of a cucumber in vaudeville. We also meet everyone’s favourite alley lurker, the sweet and also quite creepy, Pops..!

This week, we’re babbling about Twelve Monkeys (1995), which was inspired by Chris Marker’s legendary short film La Jetée (1962), directed by Terry Gilliam, and stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt.
Apparently, it’s easy to get distracted by a monkey lowered down a well holding a beef sandwich, and Time Babble is no different. But the careful and/or loyal listener will also be rewarded with a deep dive into primate-based time travel, tales of unique Oscars categories, the first (of likely many) nods to the genius of Guy Maddin, faulty monkey calculations, and the finest dribbling this side of Hollywood.
Make sure you watch this one in HD to fully enjoy the hamster, and the bare botty back-scrubs.

This week we’re babbling about Brigadoon (1954) a lavish MGM musical directed by Vincente Minnelli, and based on the stage musical by Lerner and Loewe. The film stars the glorious pairing of dance legends Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, and the morose, perpetually drunk, yet wise cracking Van Johnson.
The most Scottishly Scottish of musicals, Brigadoon is also a magical, mystical village that rises out of the mist every hundred years. But, for the singing and dancing residents of Brigadoon, only one day has passed. And no-one is allowed to leave, lest the entire village will disappear back into the mist…
As well as discovering the delights of a Dancical*, you’ll witness the love of a young boy for his ‘Lassie’, gather heather on the hill, and cower from the delightfully creepy ‘Sandy the Candyman’. And despite this being a family friendly musical, there are also a considerable amount of tops being popped off during the dramatic chase sequence.
Did anybody say tartan?

Deck the halls with peanuts & balsam! It’s the Time Babble Christmas Special!
This week we’re babbling about Somewhere in Time (1980) which was directed by Jeannot Szwarc and stars Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. The film is based on the novel Bid Time Return by Richard Matheson, who also wrote the screenplay, and makes an ‘astonishing’ cameo. The swoonsome soundtrack is provided by the legendary John Barry.
There’s so much beauty on display that we can barely contain ourselves, however, giant geese, portraits that stare right back at you through the mists of time, Mothra, and the dangers of loose change bring a bit of serious reflection to our seasonal stupidities.
Remember: a time travel film is not just for Christmas, and whilst Somewhere in Time doesn't have the usual trappings of a science fiction extravaganza, the film has so much LOVE to spare, that we had to include two ‘Romance Corner’ sections. And that’s more than we can count.
Join us for a very merry Yuletide Babble!

This week we’re babbling about The Tomorrow War (2021), which was directed by Chris Mckay and stars Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski and J. K. Simmons.
Despite sounding like we’re recording in a tiny cupboard, 20,000 leagues under the sea, somewhere in the future-past, using only string and paper-cups, this is the episode which instigated the digressionary inanity that is the award-avoiding Time Babble you know and love.
Thankfully giving a wide berth to the majority of the film’s content, we begin by obsessing over our new-found culinary masterpiece that is Tuna Santa, and proceed by stumbling blindly through contemporary topics such as: daddy issues, the evil White Stripes, Abbie Hoffman, lashings of explody-porn, and the occasional top popped off…
Let Babble commence!

This week we’re babbling about the first series of Russian Doll (2019), which was created by its star Natasha Lyonne, who also co-wrote the series with Amy Poehler, and directed the final episode.
Our inaugural plunge into telly box-based time travel, the chat will feature a mango, a reoccurring bathroom, an earworm of a song, several Ted Talks on the nature of existence, Paul Hardcastle’s endless remixes (yep, that’s right kids), and the same day, repeated again, and again, and again…
Dear listener, we’ve saved the best episode until last*, and we encourage you to watch the first series before the babble begins.
Do ‘The Cocker-roach’!

It’s Goose Week on Time Babble! To celebrate, we’re babbling about Unidentified Flying Oddball (1979), which was directed by Russ Mayberry and stars Dennis Dugan as both our hero, and his android/robot twin, alongside a funeral* of ‘end of career’ british character actors, including Jim Dale as the villain, Ron Moody, Kenneth Moore, John Le Mesurier, Rodney Bewes and Pat Roach, as the magnificent Oaf.
'So many geese in movies - so little time’ is our mantra this week, as we praise the cinematic beauty of the goose-edit, one-take apple eating, and the liberal use, but inappropriate nature, of using an adult magazine in a children’s film. Remember - don’t forget to wear your asbestos space suit if you are about to be burnt at the stake.
Did we say goose?

This week we’re babbling about The Adam Project (2022), which was directed by Shawn Levy, and stars Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and Catherine Keener.
The seemingly now obligatory father/son complex that's littered throughout modern studio filmmaking is present and correct here. However in Episode 6, ever champions of balance and fairness, Time Babble endeavour to make light of all they encounter: farting bullet wounds, the poor plight of the sympathetic henchman, time dogs, analogue smart tech, and for the admin nerds amongst us, we launch Time Babble Tick Box Bingo!
What better way to distract yourself from the void..?

This week we’re babbling about The Time Traveller’s Wife (2009), which was directed by Robert Schwenke, and based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger. The film stars Eric ‘bare botty’ Bana and Rachel McAdams.
The Time Traveller’s Wife is unfathomably widely loved, but quite why is somewhat unclear, given the stench of male privilege on display, and the misogyny of the script. And that’s the least of its problems!
But, dear listener, please do not be disheartened! As is tradition, Time Babble treat the film to both derision and hilarity in equal measure; ridiculing the decision of a wearing frilly shirt and hot pants while beating up a stranger in a dark alley, mistaking a particularly obvious plot point in an otherwise incoherent script and, of course, poking fun at Bana’s infamous ‘vasectomy waddle’. Enjoy!

This week we’re babbling about Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes) from 2007, which was written, directed and stars Nacho Vigalondo. It also stars Karra Elejalde, Candela Fernandez and Barbara Goenaga.
Timecrimes is the everyday story of a man who spies a girl in the bushes, goes to investigate, and accidentally falls into several time loops. Different versions of himself appear in every loop, sometimes at the same time, and in each one, he manages to create a bigger mess than the last…
Given that predestination paradox is the theme of this film, we already know you’ve listened to our humourously fact-based bleatings. Time Babble are very glad you enjoyed this episode. You now have no choice but to dive into our milky time bath.
Complicated? Kinda. Do we understand it? Sorta. Should you watch it and listen to this episode? Yes you oughta.

This week we’re babbling about See You Yesterday (2019), by first time director Stefon Bristol. The film was produced by Spike Lee and stars Eden Duncan-Smith as C.J. Walker and Danté Crichlow as Sebastian.
It’s quite a rollercoaster of a Babble episode, covering a fantastic, fun and touching movie, and featuring various horological digressions, including a famous scientist enjoying their favourite iced beverage, the return of Mr (and Mrs) Matey, and sentimental glue-based teenage memories. Time Babble are Hip to be Square* ...are you?
Content Guidance This episode contains voice-illness, and yours truly commiting the podcaster’s cardinal sin of snacking whilst the mics are on. But what ya gonna do about it Mr Jackson, write yet another snarky letter..?

This week we’re babbling about Frankenstein Unbound (1990). Directed by legendary filmmaker Roger Corman, the film stars John Hurt, Raul Julia, and Bridget Fonda.
The film and chat covers talking cars, unreliable court evidence (including our own intentional falsehoods), purple time ‘clouds’, and a weapon designed not to Hurt. In honour of our universally praised Haiku or Limerick section, there's even a handful of romantic poets. Albeit played by some of the worst actors of their generation…

This week we cover Time After Time (1979), starring Malcolm McDowell, David Warner, and Mary Steenburgen. Within the first 10 mins, we quote Samuel Beckett, misunderstand the year in which the film is set and unmask the identity of Britain's most notorious serial killer. Enjoy!
As is expected from a podcast about time travel, this first episode is not actually our first episode! We've moved the order around as we wanted to honour the recent passing of David Warner, who features in this recording we made many, many months ago.
There’s no need to watch the film beforehand, although obviously it will be littered with ‘spoilers’. But, we think 43 years is enough of a head start to reveal plot points…
Our first bumper episode is in two parts, both available now!
