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.
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.
Happy New Year! Happy New Episode! Liz and Rudy start off 2012 by discussing the upcoming Men in Black 3, which has a heavy time travel element, some interesting behind-the-scenes drama and Josh Brolin! Two of those things are great!
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!
Plus, we find out what you guys thought about all this! Our favorite part! We want to do it again! So let us know what you think in the comments, or Twitter, Facebook and email! And thanks so much for listening.
New episode, just in time for your holiday travels (or your holiday stay-at-home-ing)! First, we go over some recent revelations about the upcoming season of Doctor Who, including the announcement that this season will say farewell to the 11th Doctor’s most faithful companions. Sad news, indeed.
And then it’s the potentially final installment in our semi-regular feature Liz Bugs Rudy About Terra Nova! What did we think about the first season of Fox’s sci-fi dinosaur family drama? Are we excited about the show potentially returning for a second season? Find out!
Plus there’s a holiday surprise for Rudy, courtesy of the very awesome Brian! And our most heartfelt wishes for you all to have a happy holiday.
As always, let us know what you think in the comments, or Twitter, Facebook and email! And thanks so much for listening.
We’ll keep things brief! In this episode, we get revved up for the Doctor Who Christmas special and discuss the latest news about the potential Who film. (And Rudy gets bugged about Terra Nova, as per usual.) Then! We celebrate the joy of giving — as long as it has something to do with time travel! Below are links to our picks for what to get the time travel lover in your life; please enjoy.
If you have other ideas, please let us know in the comments, or Twitter, Facebook and email! And thanks so much for listening.
Hey, new episode time! First things first: Doctor Who! Our friend the Doctor not only starred in a quick scene for Children in Need, but is going to be reappearing for Christmas — and maybe in feature film? Our enthusiasm for each thing varies wildly!
And Liz and Rudy also touch on the precarious position that Community (and, ergo, its homage to the classic time travel series Inspector Spacetime) currently occupies on television! And also Family Guy did a time travel episode! And Terra Nova is still on the air! So much to discuss!
But don’t worry, Liz and Rudy eventually get around to 11/22/63, Stephen King’s JKF assassination-focused novel. How many references to other King books did Rudy catch? What did Liz think of the time travel mechanics meticulously detailed by the book? How many fun facts about Lee Harvey Oswald did we all learn? There’s both spoiler-free and spoiler-y discussion for you if you haven’t read the book yet, never fear.
As always, tell us what you think about ANY of this via Twitter, Facebook, email or the comments right here on this post! And thanks so much for listening.
Hey, friends! We’ve got a fun episode, full of time travel fun, for you today. First off, we discuss the timey wimey news of the day, including the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special — which may or may not include Amy and Rory? There’s a bunch of speculation on our part.
And we also make plans to read Stephen King’s new book 11/22/63: A Novel, because reading is fundamental and King’s take on time travel could be very interesting.
Plus it’s the continuation of our ever-popular segment, Liz Nags Rudy About Terra Nova! Rudy isn’t watching this show! Liz still is! Has it improved? Has the number of people being eaten by dinosaurs increased? Are those things related? The answer is yes!
Then finally, due to popular demand, we discuss the extremely popular Quantum Leap, which ran for five seasons on NBC and was extremely formative for one young Rudy Jahchan. When looked at with modern eyes, though, how does it hold up? We will tell you!
As always, we welcome your thoughts via Twitter, Facebook, email or the comments right here on this post! And thanks so much for listening.
Apologies for how overdue this post is, but this, humble readers/listeners, is your official notification that Timey Wimey TV will be switching to a bi-weekly schedule for the foreseeable future (i.e. — “until a show we want to cover on a weekly basis starts airing”).
But don’t feel like this about it!
Feel like this about it!
Because we’ve got some very exciting stuff in store for you as we explore time travel telly’s past and discuss its future. Special guest stars! New mediums! Other things! Because after 25 episodes, we’ve learned one thing for sure: When it comes to Timey Wimey things, there is plenty of potential.
In this VERY special episode of Timey Wimey TV, we invited romance author and supplier of genetic material Janet Miller to discuss her favorite time travel shows and films, from past classics to recent favorites.
Well, that was the original idea, anyway. What ACTUALLY ends up happening is Liz and Rudy and Janet discussing how romance works as both a genre and a storytelling element in science fiction. It was a fun conversation! Hopefully you’ll enjoy it.
But what about next week, you ask? Now that Doctor Who and Torchwood are over, what shall we discuss? Well, we’re turning that question right back around on YOU! With a POLL!
You can also tell us things via Twitter, Facebook, email or the comments right here on this post! And thanks, as always, for listening.
Timey Wimey TV is an opportunity for two big Doctor Who nerds to get together and discuss not just the most recent iteration of the classic British series, but the general state of time travel-oriented media -- past, present and future. Because time travel is AWESOME.
