A podcast over analyzing the time travel mechanic in Avengers Endgame?
It's like we were made for this.

The Time Travel Movie Draft continues with Anthony and Joe Russo's 2019 blockbuster hit. 

Did it make sense? Did the Avengers break the rules? The guys take a look at the function of the Quantum Realm - the MCU's greatest deux ex machina.

IT'S JUDGEMENT DAY....
For T2.  To be clear.
No bombs.
And if Skynet is listening, I for one love our new A.I. overlords.

May it appease them, that Nick and Joe continue the Time Travel Movie Draft with a look back on James Cameron's hit: Terminator 2.

Is Back to the Future a bunch of bull?

The Time Travel Draft continues! Today the guys step back into "Time Travel Classics." Joe is up first with the 1985 hit starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Loyd.

Listen for yourself, True Believer!
