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!
But we look back over the last year and pick out our favorite timey wimey moments! We maybe even also travel back in time! Wait, really? Really!
And there’s a big announcement: We’re going to do a Google+ hangout! That will be fun! Prepare to fire up your computer boxes next Monday, April 30th, at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT to a) see what Liz and Rudy look like and b) interact live with them and some SPECIAL GUESTS. UPDATE: We’re rescheduling to next week — stay tuned for details!
In the meantime, thank you so much for listening over the last year! Seriously, thank you so much for doing that! As always, please comment here or on Facebook, Twitter or email!
Hey, a new episode! Not only are we joined by awesome filmmaker Matt Campagna, but we discuss awesome things! Such as:
Movie trailers for movies that look good:
And maybe not so good:
And maybe EWWWWWW…
Plus, we react to another batch of Doctor Who rumors and news… and that’s just the appetizer!
Your main course: A look back at Farscape, which had way more fun with time travel and alternate realities than you could ever possibly imagine. If you never watched this groundbreaking, slightly insane series, maybe check it out?
But only after you finish listening! Thank you so much for doing that! As always, please comment here or on Facebook, Twitter or email!
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!
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.
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.
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.
