    Welcome back, Chrononauts! Desmond and Scott are live and ready to dissect the latest Netflix time travel flick, "Fresh." In this episode, they navigate the twists and turns of this teen slasher film, which takes audiences from 2024 back to the "retro" era of 2003. As they delve into the film's plot, the hosts share their thoughts on its depiction of time travel, cultural references, and the challenges of creating a compelling narrative in this genre.

    Desmond and Scott critique the film's portrayal of early 2000s fashion and technology, questioning the stark contrast drawn between the two decades. They also explore the film's attempt to blend a slasher story with a time travel narrative, debating whether the movie succeeds in delivering thrills or falls short. The duo doesn't shy away from highlighting the film's plot holes and missed opportunities, particularly in its handling of time travel mechanics.

    Throughout the episode, they compare "Fresh" to other time travel films, pondering its place in the pantheon of the genre. The hosts discuss the film's themes of sisterhood and personal growth, while also reflecting on the overuse of time travel tropes and the importance of a well-executed plot.

    Whether you're a fan of time travel movies or just curious about Netflix's latest offering, this episode promises a lively discussion filled with humor and critical insights. Join Desmond and Scott as they attempt to make sense of "Fresh" and its contribution to the ever-expanding world of time travel cinema.

Join Desmond and Scott as they dive into the chaotic world of "Blood Punch," a 2014 indie film that's as much a head-scratcher as it is a time loop thriller. In this episode, the duo navigates through the film's tangled narrative, dissecting its unconventional take on time travel and its questionable cultural choices. Our hosts embark on a wild ride, discussing the film's unique premise of a time loop induced by bloodshed on Native American land and the bizarre love triangle at its core. While Scott and Desmond critique the film's lack of renowned actors and its attempt to channel Quentin Tarantino vibes, they also explore the comedic elements that arise from its murder montages and plot inconsistencies. As they unravel the film's puzzling logic, Desmond and Scott ponder the implications of being stuck in a loop with a psychotic cop and a manipulative girlfriend. They debate the film's place on Barry's list of time travel movies and reflect on the challenges of finding compelling narratives in the genre. Whether you're intrigued by indie films or just love a good time travel conundrum, this episode promises a lively discussion filled with humor and unabashed nerdery. Tune in as they attempt to make sense of "Blood Punch" and its place in the time travel canon. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share the time-traveling love with fellow film fanatics.
