  • 71: The Time Traveler’s Wife (2022) Season 1 Apparently?
    Jul 7 2022

    Glenn and Scott complete their coverage of The Time Traveler's Wife with a review of the new HBO series adaptation. They discuss how the characters changed between the book and the screen, how the story fares in a visual format, how the series relates to Moffat Discourse (TM), the performances of the actors, the technological aspects of the historical setting, the choice to replace half of Episode 6 with a trailer for an as-yet-unannounced Season 2, and how this series made Scott doubt his own judgement.

    Content note: One of the storylines from the show that we discuss in this episode involves the physical and sexual assault of one of the characters. This part of the discussion begins at 15:29 and ends at 24:14.

  • 70: The Many Failings of The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)
    Jun 2 2022

    In anticipation of the new Time Traveler's Wife series on HBO, Glenn & Scott take a look at the 2009 movie adaptation. They discuss the tightrope walked by the novel's main love story and how the movie fails to maintain that balance, how the main characters feel different in the movie versus the book, how the secondary characters mostly disappear, and how everybody has their idiosyncrasies filed off.

    (This episode contains SPOILERS for the entire novel and the 2009 movie, so for anyone experiencing the story for the first time via the new show, listener beware.)

  • 69: National Film Score Day 2022: Our Favorite Scores of 2021
    Apr 3 2022

    Glenn & Scott once again celebrate National Film Score Day by talking exclusively about scores they actually like. This year's recommendations include a Finnish nature documentary, a French score that's seven minutes long, and of course the new Giacchino Spider-Man, which was surprisingly *not* Scott's favorite MCU score of the year. Along the way they also discuss cassingles, ASMR, the virtues of brevity, and this weird circumstance where the MCU has good scores now.
