Episode 38: Fringe, David Tennant, and Important Time Travel Questions!

podcast 9 May 2012 0 Comments

Play

This week’s episode takes on a number of subjects — Fringe getting renewed for one last season, David Tennant being considered for the next Fast and the Furious movie, yet more footage from Men In Black 3 and a funny story about a lawyer who says he’s a time traveler.

But it’s best summed up by the following two questions:

1) Does Captain America’s story count as time travel?
2) If you had access to a time machine, who would you travel in time to bang?

We’ll be taking on these questions in full with an exciting panel of special guests in our Google+ Hangout! Which is DEFINITELY HAPPENING May 16th, 9 PM EST/6 PM PST. You should add us on Google Plus, because this is gonna get interactive!

In the meantime, you can also support us this weekend — we’re lacing up our sneaks and going outside for once, to run the Revlon Run/Walk 5K this Saturday! Donate here, and thanks in advance!

As always, please comment here or on Facebook, Twitter or email! And we will see you NEXT WEEK! On the internets!

Episode 35: Doctor Who‘s New Girl

podcast 28 March 2012 4 Comments

Play

Timey Wimey TV is BACK, with all the hot time travel news you’ve been talking about in our absence!

First off, we look at the upcoming independent film Sound of My Voice, which takes your standard investigative-journalist-couple-gets-in-over-their-heads-while-investigating-cult story and adds a timey-wimey twist (or does it? We don’t know!).

Then, we look over the current state of time travel television, which sparks debate over Alcatraz, Inspector Spacetime and who should be allowed to use time machines (because the CW’s answer is apparently documentary filmmakers).

And Rudy has some comic books to recommend! Specifically, the collected works of Jonathan Hickman, who prior to becoming a big-name writer for Marvel produced some truly intriguing timey-wimey stories, available on Amazonand Comixology.

Plus, of course, Doctor Who laid out a bunch of announcements about season 7, including a new companion (whose name we totally can’t remember but it’s Jenna Louise Coleman). Does going young, white and female represent a return to classic Who fun, or a failed opportunity? Liz and Rudy have their thoughts, and welcome you to share yours!

We also want to know what you’d like us to tackle for the next episode — which is why we’ve created a happy little poll!

Vote, comment, Facebook, Twitter or email us — and thanks so much for listening!

Boy howdy, another fun episode for you! First, we catch up on a month’s worth of time travel gossip, including:

The copyright adventures of Inspector Spacetime! (AKA “A space traveler who can also travel through time.”)

Touchback, a movie about football and time travel!

B to the F, an awesome new blog by the creator of Dinosaur Comics!

Fringe! (A little bit.)

Alcatraz! (Not at all.)

Then we talk about the first seasons of Life on Mars, both the (amazing) UK version and the (eh) US version. What problems did Liz have with the storytelling? Why did Rudy like the US version so much? Are they in a coma, going mad, or traveling back through time? YOU WILL LEARN.

And let us know what you think of this episode in the comments, on Twitter, on Facebook or via email! As always, thanks so much for listening.

Guys. GUYS. Here are four reasons that you MUST listen to this VERY SPECIAL episode of Timey Wimey TV:

1) Liz and Rudy talk to Oscar nominees! Specifically, the talented, funny and charming Andrew Bowler and Gigi Causey, whose delightful short film Time Freak is one of the five nominees for Best Narrative Short this year.

2) Time Freak is a really great example of how the device of time travel can serve a very human story, and Andrew and Gigi are extremely eloquent in describing how they approached creating a time travel narrative that would engage on all levels.

3) Ever wonder exactly how a short film gets nominated for an Academy Award? We find out! It’s actually really interesting!

4) GIGI GOT A HUG FROM GEORGE CLOONEY AND IT’S THE BEST STORY EVER.

So you should listen! And then check out Time Freak either in theaters or on iTunes! And then join us in wishing Gigi and Andrew EXTREMELY HUGE AMOUNTS OF LUCK this Sunday!

While we all wait for the Oscars, though, let us know what you think of this episode in the comments, on Twitter, on Facebook or via email! And as always, thanks so much for listening.

Episode 32: Comic Books, Time Travel and You!

It’s a new Timey Wimey TV! It’s a good one! Because Liz and Rudy are joined by the lovely Jason Merrill, and they totally nerd out about comics!

Well, first they talk about some other stuff — like a cool web series that takes time travel head-on, and how Fox has not one, not two, but THREE timey wimey series on the bubble this season.

But mostly, they talk about comics! Jason shouts out X-Men: Second Coming! Liz hollas for The Return of Bruce Wayne! Rudy loves him some DC One Million! And everyone agrees that Days of Future Past is maybe the most important of them all.

Any other picks they overlooked? Please share here in the comments, or Twitter, Facebook and email! And as always, thanks so much for listening.

Episode 31: Oh, Alcatraz

Oh boy, guys, have we got a show for you! Normally, we say that when an episode of Timey Wimey TV is quite an episode, it’s because we tackle a number of subjects. Not so in this case!

After a brief discussion of Doctor Who news (no full season in 2012? LAME!), Liz and Rudy team up to watch the newest mystery series produced by J.J. Abrams, the extremely timey-wimey Alcatraz, which premiered this week on Fox.

Is Alcatraz worth your time? Maybe not! But will you enjoy listening to us critique it? Most likely! Will we continue to watch? Maybe? That’s just one of the secrets you can look forward to discovering!

Did you watch Alcatraz? Do you agree with our thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments, or Twitter, Facebook and email! And thanks so much for listening.

And while Christmas was a while ago, we’re only now getting around to unwrapping our present from Steven Moffat: a new Doctor Who episode! Were Liz and Rudy charmed by “The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe”? Did they have some issues with it? Was there enough Bill Bailey and Arabella Weir to satisfy them? Find out!
