As they delve into the film's plot, the hosts share their thoughts on its depiction of time travel, cultural references, and the challenges of creating a compelling narrative in this genre.

    Desmond and Scott critique the film's portrayal of early 2000s fashion and technology, questioning the stark contrast drawn between the two decades. They also explore the film's attempt to blend a slasher story with a time travel narrative, debating whether the movie succeeds in delivering thrills or falls short. The duo doesn't shy away from highlighting the film's plot holes and missed opportunities, particularly in its handling of time travel mechanics.

    Throughout the episode, they compare "Fresh" to other time travel films, pondering its place in the pantheon of the genre. The hosts discuss the film's themes of sisterhood and personal growth, while also reflecting on the overuse of time travel tropes and the importance of a well-executed plot.

    Happy BttF Day Chrononauts!!!

    We got a little busy this Fall, so I am going to remind you of ALL the great PAST Back to the Future content we have for you this PRESENT for enjoying NOW, or in the FUTURE!!!

    Prepare for a time-twisting adventure as "Time Pop: The Time Travel Movie Podcast" dives into the iconic sequel that took us back to the future and then some! 🕰️🚗 In this episode, we're breaking down the temporal tangles of "Back to the Future Part II," a film that dared to go where no DeLorean had gone before.

    Join us as we navigate the dizzying loops and swoops of Hill Valley's timeline, where Marty McFly's hoverboard antics are just the tip of the iceberg. We're dissecting the complexities of alternate 1985s, the perils of paradoxes, and the enigmatic existence of multiple DeLoreans—oh, the chrono-chaos!

    From the neon-soaked streets of a 2015 that never was to the dicey dance of dodging past selves, "Back to the Future Part II" serves up a smorgasbord of time travel tropes. We're peeling back the layers of this sci-fi spectacle to reveal the heart, the humor, and the head-scratchers that make it a beloved yet bewildering entry in the time travel canon.

    But it's not just about the McFly family's futuristic foibles; we're also pondering the implications of Biff's ill-gotten almanac. Could a sports betting bonanza really reshape reality? And what about the legal loop-de-loops around a certain character's likeness? This film's legacy extends beyond the screen, shaping industry standards and sparking endless "what if" debates.

    As always, we're bringing you the insights, the laughs, and the unabashed nerdery that you've come to expect from Time Pop. So grab your self-lacing sneakers, avoid calling anyone "chicken," and get ready to join the Chrononauts for a wild ride through the "Back to the Future" saga that proves time waits for no man, woman, or mad scientist.

    Remember, what's happened has happened has always happened... or has it? 🤔 Tune in, and let's unravel the timeline together!

    Welcome back, Chrononauts! Join Desmond and Scott as they dive into the chaotic world of "Mega Time Squad" from 2018. This 86-minute New Zealand comedy offers a unique take on time travel, filled with dry humor and a plot that spirals into delightful chaos. With a bracelet that allows limited time travel, our protagonist, John, finds himself in a loop of clones, crime, and comedic misadventures.In this episode, we explore the film's humorous take on time travel mechanics, the cultural nuances of New Zealand comedy, and the complexities of tracking multiple versions of the same character. Desmond attempts to unravel the tangled web of timelines, while Scott contemplates the film's thematic elements, including the recurring motif of "growing nuts."Join the conversation as we discuss the film's strengths and weaknesses, from its low-budget charm to its sometimes confusing narrative. We also debate the portrayal of folklore within the movie and whether the film's humor lands for audiences outside of New Zealand.(00:00) This is time pop, a podcast that discusses time travel and pop culture
