Movie Time Machine : A Retro Movie Review Podcast

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1981, New York ain’t lookin’ so hot. The criminals and scum own the island of Manhattan, and the President’s plane has been shot down over this dystopian penitentiary. Only one man can bring him back: Snake. Er, I mean, “Plissken.” Join your hosts Chad and Jamie for this part two episode on John Carpenter as they break down all things Kurt Russell and Isaac Hayes, while saving enough breath to ramble about video games. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1986, we’re going to Chinatown. Your Time Machine hosts are taking a brief Kubrick intermission in the form of another of our favorite directors: John Carpenter.

Join hosts Jamie and Chad as they guide you through the curving alleys and underground tunnels of San Francisco’s Chinatown, while comparing video game references and notes from their real life experiences in this mystical neighborhood. 

May the wings of liberty never lose a feather, and may our podcast live forever. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1968, we go to infinity, and beyond. I mean, WAY out there into the widest reaches of the galaxy. 

That’s right, your hosts have each mounted their intellectual high horses in order to ride alongside Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. We blast off to Jupiter and wrestle with all of the great questions presented before humanity, like “are practical effects more effective than CGI?” 

So sit back, relax, make sure that your A.I. Companion has a built-in failsafe for that special moment when it decides to betray you, and join us in space!

Welcome Back to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 2020, it’s time for season 2! We thought we would try something new for 2020, so come and experiment with us. 

For the new year, our theme is “Directors”! Each host will pick a director, and then the gang will review 3-4 of their films; one per episode. 

Jamie picked first, selecting director Stanley Kubrick, and his classic Cold War farce, Dr. Strangelove. 

We debate the thrill vs. boredom of watching black and white films, the brilliance of Peter Sellers, all while staring down the threat of complete nuclear annihilation. Join us, or you’re gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1984, we have some rules for your hosts. Keep James out of the light; he hates bright light. Don’t get Casey wet. And perhaps the most important rule of all: no matter how much he begs, don’t ever, EVER feed Kris after midnight. We discuss all things Gremlins, including Casey’s extensive list of things that Gremlins can instinctively do. We wrap the show by discussing our favorite “non-Christmas” Christmas movies. From John McClane to Jack Skellington, it’s all fair game. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in the year 1977, your hosts revisit perhaps the most influential film of the modern era: Star Wars. EVER HEARD OF IT? Chad and James are your Han Solo and Chewbacca for this episode, piloting you across the Alderaan asteroid field of the imagination. They discuss the film’s legacy, all things John Williams, and the importance of 1970’s hair styles. They cap off the episode with a list of top 5 secondary characters, so no need to worry about saving Obi Wan this time. This is our first episode in a series of recaps leading up to the release of The Rise of Skywalker. So sit back, pour yourself some blue milk while we make the jump to light speed, and hang on!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1992, your Time Machine hosts have a job to do. Our drunk uncle insists on spending a five star weekend in the Big Apple, and it’s up to Chad and James (the only two hosts who watched the entire film) to bring him home safely. We cap off the show by sharing our top 5 Al Pacino films, and uncover a shocking revelation about exactly who has and has not seen The Godfather. Join us, and HOO-AH! 

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 2000, your Time Machine hosts are taking a trip through the mighty Mississip. Time Machine host Casey heard a siren’s song by the river, and was turned into a toad. It’s up to Chad, James, Kris and Jamie to wander in his stead. Along their journey, two hosts stray from the path while the other pair goes down to the River Coen to pray. Which hosts go where directly depends on your love of this film. We finish the episode with our top three Coen Brothers films, while trying to be as brotherly to each other as possible. Join us!
