One of the best reviewed movies of the year, currently only available for New Yorkers but hitting theaters nationwide soon, is Lee Chang-Dong's "Burning," based on a Haruki Murakami short story. We dig into what makes it so great. Then Grierson solos on "Suspiria," as well as a few good documentaries. And people are still talking about Shane Carruth's "Primer" 14 years after it came out. We try to make heads or tails of it ourselves in our Reboot segment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This week, Colin answers Brent's 'year of time-travel movies' challenge with Shane Carruth's Primer (2004), a low-budget mindbender about two engineers who accidentally invent a time machine in their garage, and the complications that ensue once they begin to use it. Find out how little we know about actual science as we talk causality paradoxes, space, time and perception on this week's epic episode! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
On our first double review Side Effect we explore two time travel science fiction films. Dave (@TheHumanIMDB) is joined by New Jersey Nick (@NewJerseyNick), Chris (@Paimonean), and making his podcast debut is Dave's friend Brian (@destro610). This episode discusses Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed and Shane Carruth's Primer. These are two very different takes on the classic science fiction device of time travel. During the Primer review, Dave goes on some of the longest rants in the history of the Side Effect, perhaps in attempt to crush any dissenting opinion about Primer. Note: There are some spoilers of The Prestige during the Primer review.
