About Time(2013)– Isn’t Everything About Time?

Paul: 00:00:00

They'll do better than me anyway. It's fine.

Darren: 00:00:02

You can get AI girlfriends now. I don't know why my algorithm is showing me them so much, but it's got the scent. Sure. You would be a scary person to be given a hypnotude.

She's my wife. She wants to sleep with me.

Mar: 00:00:15

Posh. Hello and welcome to Movies in a Nutshell with me, Marc Farquhar, myself, Darren.

Paul: 00:00:34

Horn, and I, Paul Day.

Mar: 00:00:35

Here's why you should tune in every week.

Darren: 00:00:37

We help you make better movie choices on films you haven't seen with quick spoiler free breakdowns to help you decide if they're your kind of movie.

Paul: 00:00:44

And we help you get more from the movies you have seen with things you missed and details you probably didn't notice.

Mar: 00:00:49

Plus, there's movie facts, trivia and behind the scenes stories.

Paul: 00:00:52

There's also your chance to choose the movie.

Mar: 00:00:54

ay. Welcome back. About time.: 2013

Paul: 00:01:07

Well, you. You guys were saying we need a rom com in the mix. I delivered.

Mar: 00:01:11

You were losing your title as a rom com guy. I know.

Paul: 00:01:13

I don't want to lose that title.

Darren: 00:01:14

No.

Paul: 00:01:14

And it's Richard Curtis, so, you know, we're talking.

Mar: 00:01:17

We've had a few of his. We've had Nothing Hill. Any other movies? I don't think we have.

Paul: 00:01:21

We've talked about them though.

Mar: 00:01:22

Yeah, I'm sure we'll have some more,.

Paul: 00:01:23

But I know this is one me and Darren end up referencing quite a bit.

Darren: 00:01:26

Yeah, absolutely.

Paul: 00:01:27

Let's throw it in the mix.

Mar: 00:01:28

ak this movie down. So, yeah,: 2013

How. How do you describe this one, Darren?

Darren: 00:01:37

As you.

Mar: 00:01:38

Well, how do they describe it? You describe it. There's always a bit of a difference here.

Darren: 00:01:42

Everyone thinks that time travel is a signifier that you're going to watch as science fiction, but there's no science fiction in this film.

Mar: 00:01:48

Let me just tell you before, obviously, I didn't really know what this was about. You did mention one of you mentioned time travel, but realistically, I didn't really know what to expect.

So before you'd mentioned it, I didn't know it was a time travel movie.

Darren: 00:01:58

No, totally.

Mar: 00:01:59

So.

Darren: 00:01:59

Right.

Mar: 00:02:00

Which I liked.

Paul: 00:02:01

We can say that without it being a spoiler in the Title.

Darren: 00:02:03

But also it's established in the first five minutes. I was surprised how quickly that moved. It was just like, stuff happens. Stuff, stuff happens. Oh, by the way, you can time travel. I was, oh, we're in.

Yeah.

Mar: 00:02:12

Yeah. It doesn't leave much of the imagination there. So there's no, there's no build up to that. It's just. You're in.

Darren: 00:02:16

Yeah. So it's. It's a flat out romantic comedy.

Paul: 00:02:18

But I wrote a note. Is it sci fi question mark. Because there's time travel.

Darren: 00:02:21

I don't think so. Look.

Paul: 00:02:22

But there's no science involved. It's just very much.

Mar: 00:02:25

Yeah. Not my Darren's rules. It doesn't make you question the universe and everything.

Darren: 00:02:28

That's right. He's learning. But Mark's also right that that's Darren's rules.

And you know, everyone can read textbooks or read theories and stuff, but it's all, you know, your own argument in your own case.

Mar: 00:02:40

Yeah.

Paul: 00:02:40

So if I throw some of the other ones I was thinking of, one of them was Groundhog Day. So.

Mar: 00:02:45

Yes.

Paul: 00:02:45

It's the question of would you class Groundhog Day as a sci fi or not? Or is that just a romantic comedy?

Mar: 00:02:50

Because that's for Palm Springs.

Paul: 00:02:51

Or Palm Springs. I had that one down as well. Or click. Yes, with Adam Sandler.

Mar: 00:02:55

If they don't go into the science fiction of it. I don't think they're sci fi.

Paul: 00:02:57

Okay.

Mar: 00:02:58

They just gloss over it. Then it's not.

Darren: 00:02:59

And it's tricky because there's elements. Right. So for a romantic comedy. Yeah. You have like the romance part. There's usually a misunderstanding.

Ideally not all the time, but there's some kind of race to the station or the wedding. Like near the end you've got the sarcastic best friend which you have here with Vanessa Kirby, who it's before she.

Mar: 00:03:17

Before she was famous.

Paul: 00:03:18

Well, this is on the way to fame, I guess.

Mar: 00:03:20

ad she done up to this point,: 2013

Paul: 00:03:22

Well, this was one of her early ones. But I did that thing where I'm like, why does she look so familiar? She took me a few minutes to dawn. It's a young Vanessa Kirby.

Mar: 00:03:30

The only reference I had was the later Fast and Furious.

Darren: 00:03:33

That's what I was going to say. Isn't it weird that there's often a link between the films that we do?

Mar: 00:03:36

Yes, yes. Without us knowing.

Paul: 00:03:38

No, no. It's as if it was all planned.

Mar: 00:03:41

If only we were that clever.

Darren: 00:03:43

So, yeah, it's got a ton of the kind of conventions of romantic comedy. So I think you could argue that really well.

Mar: 00:03:48

This is a much loved British classic film that does blend romance, comedy and fantasy.

Paul: 00:03:54

And it's also got Margot Robbie.

Mar: 00:03:55

It does. Which I was surprised. I had no clue about that. I was like, whoa.

Paul: 00:03:59

She plays an incredibly beautiful girl. But I can't tell you any more because obviously that's spoilers.

Darren: 00:04:04

There's a ton of beautiful people in this.

Mar: 00:04:06

So I've tried to sum up the premise.

So Tim Lake is an ordinary young man beginning adult life when he discovers something extraordinary about his family as he starts navigating love, work and life's everyday challeng. That's where it sort of. That's where it sort of begins.

Darren: 00:04:19

It's almost just. We used the word meditation with train dreams, didn't we? So it's almost like a meditation on like life, the universe and everything.

Like, how are we supposed to go through life and how are we supposed to deal with ordinary life and be happy when, like, for all of us, it's. It feels like the whole system is designed to make us unhappy. So what do you do? How do you get through it? How do you get through the day?

I think it's quite a hopeful movie.

Mar: 00:04:41

It does bring up a lot of. Obviously it's heartfelt, it's warm, it's funny, it's emotional and it's quite thought provoking in places as well.

Darren: 00:04:47

Yeah, I cried.

Paul: 00:04:48

I weep every time. See this one? There's a hint of sliding doors in there as well, isn't there? The wood.

Mar: 00:04:52

What if. Moments.

Paul: 00:04:53

Moments and back and forth.

Darren: 00:04:54

That's true. Well played.

Mar: 00:04:56

Thanks.

Paul: 00:04:57

I try because I did think of a Meets is. It's Love actually meets Back to the Future.

Darren: 00:05:01

I'd go more Four Weddings meets Back to the Future.

Mar: 00:05:03

I had nothing. Notting Hill meets Groundhog Day.

Darren: 00:05:05

Nice.

Paul: 00:05:05

That's good too. It's got that real Richard Curtis.

Darren: 00:05:08

Oh.

Mar: 00:05:08

It's also got a dash of its vulnerable life.

Darren: 00:05:10

It's also got a dash of. With Nell and I, I think, yes, it's got a very Bridget or Shaun of the Dead. Like wouldn't align with Shaun of the.

Mar: 00:05:16

Dead, but very much Britishness.

Darren: 00:05:17

Yeah. And Dog Soldiers, which Mark hated as we.

Mar: 00:05:21

We'll move on from that.

Paul: 00:05:22

But the Richard Curtis element can't be understated because if you've seen.

Darren: 00:05:25

Oh, what? Blackadder.

Paul: 00:05:27

Blackadder, Vicara Dibley. Them films we've just mentioned.

Darren: 00:05:30

Crazy.

Mar: 00:05:30

Notting Hill love.

Paul: 00:05:31

Actually. Notting Hill, Four Weddings. There's a certain style to Richard Curtis humor, isn't there?

Darren: 00:05:36

Did he come from the whole. Was it the Cambridge Footlights, whatever. Where.

Paul: 00:05:39

Yes.

Darren: 00:05:40

Monty python.

Paul: 00:05:40

Not the 9 o' clock news sort of world.

Darren: 00:05:42

Yeah, fine. Laurie and stuff. I think Emma Thompson was the same.

Paul: 00:05:47

Yes. I think they all came up through together, didn't they? Yeah, because that's how he knew Rowan Atkinson for Blackadder.

And then the second season of Blackadder, they brought on Ben Elton. So that's.

Darren: 00:05:56

It's insane about how many successful British actors went to private school. Like you're. It's so weighted towards private school. Or has been in the past anyway.

Paul: 00:06:04

But interestingly, if you like them other ones, it's got that same.

Mar: 00:06:07

So a signature feel to it.

Paul: 00:06:09

Signature feel to it, yeah. Isn't giving it away because it happens again in the first five minutes, but it's very much got that voiceover.

Mar: 00:06:15

So it's very like reflective film about making people think about their lives or their choices and their.

Darren: 00:06:19

It's like the opening of Four when it's in a funeral.

Paul: 00:06:21

All of actually.

Darren: 00:06:21

Or. Or what.

Paul: 00:06:22

It's like we're going to talk about love.

Darren: 00:06:24

Not in here as well.

Mar: 00:06:25

And making people consider what's really important in life. Like they start off thinking one thing and they end up after an experience thinking something completely different.

Darren: 00:06:31

Yeah.

Mar: 00:06:31

They're appreciating different things.

Darren: 00:06:33

There's lines in this that I'd forgotten and I was like, oh, my God. That's informed part of my belief system.

Mar: 00:06:37

Wow. Another film which I haven't seen this was. I saw this compared to. Was the Time Traveler's Wife.

Darren: 00:06:41

Yeah. I haven't seen that. Is that Rachel McCallum's Eric Banner? I think Jared Butler, isn't it?

Paul: 00:06:46

Oh, I think.

Mar: 00:06:48

Yeah.

Darren: 00:06:48

I'm thinking of P.S. I love you.

Mar: 00:06:49

So being a romantic comedy then obviously I was going to say what type of movies it. But I'm guessing this is a date movie. Could be.

Darren: 00:06:54

I 100% think this is a really good date movie. Obviously it's predominantly a straight movie. I think there's one lesbian kind of character in it.

So the reason I kind of hesitate with that because I always think, oh, we. It's a date movie, but it's a date movie for heterosexuals. So I'm kind of curious as to.

If you're not heterosexual, can you get anything out of a date?

Mar: 00:07:13

What's the opposite to that? A gay date movie.

Darren: 00:07:15

They'd just be gay characters, right?

Mar: 00:07:17

Yeah. Led by gay characters. Can we think of any? Are there any?

Darren: 00:07:19

No. Exactly. And there. And it would tend to be like an Art house movie or lower budget movie? You know, it's a shame.

Like, you know, I still want to see like Charlize Theron do a Die Hard remake where she's fighting through the skyscraper to save her wife. It's like, just take my money now.

Mar: 00:07:33

So: 2013

Darren: 00:07:37

Is it well known? Do you think it's one?

Mar: 00:07:39

Yeah, I knew of it. I well knew of. I knew it existed.

Paul: 00:07:41

I feel it's more under the radar as some of them other ones because actually every Christmas everyone's talking about.

Mar: 00:07:46

So what makes this stand out from any others then in the rom com genre? Or is there nothing?

Darren: 00:07:49

I think it's a time travel that's.

Mar: 00:07:50

That's twist on it that makes it more.

Darren: 00:07:52

But I also think it's the most heartfelt. I think if you look at four and the funeral, there's a scene which actually had really great gay characters in it. And there's a scene where.

What's that guy's name?

Paul: 00:08:03

John Hunter.

Mar: 00:08:04

No.

Darren: 00:08:04

Oh, yeah, he does the thing. Simon Cowell, isn't it?

Paul: 00:08:07

Simon.

Mar: 00:08:08

Simon Cowell, yes.

Darren: 00:08:09

Like that name.

Paul: 00:08:10

Callow.

Darren: 00:08:10

Callow. Simon Callow. I met him once. Did you? Yeah, I used to work in a theater and I met him. He's a lovely guy, but he dies.

But also that was the first time you had a gay character die on screen, basically that didn't die of aids. Like his sexuality has nothing to do with the plot, the story or anything. They're just like gay people exist.

Here's some gay characters, People in wheelchairs exist in Notting Hill. Here's a woman in the wheelchair. Has nothing to do with the story. That's great representation. That's not woke. That's not like.

Yeah, we're putting this in for reasons.

Mar: 00:08:40

That's just more reflection of modern society.

Darren: 00:08:42

It's like, oh, some of my friends are gay, I should put them into the movie. Or you know, it's like you write.

Paul: 00:08:45

What, you know, very Richard Curtis thing to do, isn't it?

Darren: 00:08:47

Yeah.

Paul: 00:08:48

Like there's the sister character in this which is kind of a bit similar to the sister character in Notting Hill. Not completely, because the different characters. But he always has that quirky sort of element.

Darren: 00:08:57

Yeah.

Paul: 00:08:58

Where it's a person who isn't quite in the mold of everyone else. And he explores that a little bit normally.

Darren: 00:09:03

But you know, listeners let us know like, you know, a bunch of white straight guys kind of telling you our thoughts here. But you know, what is it like if you're gay watching kind of straight romances.

Actually, I still really like that storyline in foreigners in a funeral. Sure.

Mar: 00:09:15

Yeah.

Darren: 00:09:16

So I'm curious.

Paul: 00:09:17

And the other bit is maybe this is for people who want to believe again in love.

Mar: 00:09:22

Yeah.

Darren: 00:09:22

Made me believe in love again for a full, I think 42 minutes.

Paul: 00:09:26

I got an hour. Probably nice. Lived in love for an hour.

Mar: 00:09:28

I'm back to self loathing husk.

Paul: 00:09:30

Self loathing rock of a.

Darren: 00:09:32

That's where you belong, Paul.

Mar: 00:09:34

That's good. Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him.

Paul: 00:09:36

I feel that's correct. I belong on an island alone. They'll do better than me anyway. It's fine.

Darren: 00:09:42

You can get AI girlfriends now. I don't know why my algorithm is showing me them so much, but it's got the scent.

Paul: 00:09:48

It's on you.

Darren: 00:09:49

Yeah.

Mar: 00:09:50

So as a romantic comedy, this has a. In my opinion, this has a much broader appeal than people, many people will expect.

Paul: 00:09:55

Yes, definitely. I think if you go in expecting just a rom com, it's gonna test you. Test you.

Mar: 00:10:00

And I'm saying that as someone who went into a completely bad. I knew nothing about it, so you.

Darren: 00:10:04

Could almost argue that nothing really happens.

Mar: 00:10:06

You can say that about a lot of films that are great. Anything else? On a nutshell, no.

Paul: 00:10:10

We don't want to give too much.

Mar: 00:10:11

I think we've done a good job there, if I don't say so myself. Pat on the back. Well done, guys.

Paul: 00:10:14

Let the listener desire.

Mar: 00:10:18

Okay, let's move on to part two, which is the unboxing. In the unboxing, we're gonna have a bit of a more explanation on the film. So there will be spoilers from this point forward.

So if you haven't seen it and you think you do want to go watch it, I'd recommend you go and do it now. What did you miss? Darren, I'm gonna go straight over to you. Is the fact that this keeps the time travel rules really simple. Does that help the film?

Does that make it better as a romantic comedy?

Darren: 00:10:44

Yeah, I think so. It's almost like a fairy tale. And it's like, almost like I was gonna say it's a fairy tale version of love, but I hope it isn't.

But feels like every single day that passes.

Paul: 00:10:53

I hear you, brother. I'm on my little rock on my island in the middle of nowhere, but I hear you.

Darren: 00:10:58

So I kind of like the fact that it doesn't go into it. It doesn't say that, you know, one of our ancestors Met a witch and. Or there's nothing like that.

It's just like, oh, the men in our family can travel through time. And here's some basic rules. It's got to be, like, within your lifetime. It's got to be somewhere you've been. It's not really time.

I mean, you're going back into your body that you were in.

Mar: 00:11:17

Yeah. When he first mentioned, I was like, what? So when he goes back, it's going to be two of them.

Darren: 00:11:19

Yeah.

Mar: 00:11:20

How's it going to do that? So you go back into yourself at.

Darren: 00:11:22

That time and make different decisions. Yes, but I mean, in terms of what you missed, it may.

I can be quite picky with this, but what you're kind of missing is the amount of times people are dying. Because let's say, you know, we record this podcast now, and then I get home. I didn't like that. And then I go back to before it.

The versions of you that I'm talking to now die because you changed in that time.

Paul: 00:11:43

You're about the split universe theory.

Darren: 00:11:45

Yeah, exactly.

Paul: 00:11:46

Sure. I've watched an episode of Rick and Morty about this somewhere. Somewhere, right.

And it's like, oh, you didn't realize, Rick, that all these Ricks today. He's like, ah, shut up, Marty. It's fine.

Darren: 00:11:53

Exactly.

Paul: 00:11:54

Like, all these dead Rick and Morty somewhere.

Darren: 00:11:55

Because I always find it weird when, like, the dad looks over and smiles and he clearly knows he's jumped through time. It's like, yeah, but that means that you lived and then died. And, like, you're in so many different timelines here. It's just weird.

And then it gets a little bit weird about kind of consent, because there's a nice version, obviously. Tim, played by Donald Gleason, and then Mary, played by Rachel McAdams. Adorable as a couple. It's insane.

But then he sleeps with her, and he's like, oh, you know, sorry, the next time I do better. And she's. I know that. It was lovely. It was sweet. You know, every guy wants to hear that. He's like, give me a second.

Goes back in time, and then that version of her thinks that's the first time they've slept with each other, but he. She's basically slept with him and he's wiped her memory.

Paul: 00:12:38

Yeah. That's a bit like the Palm Springs thing, isn't it?

Darren: 00:12:40

It's like the Palm Springs thing. Or does that reality continue? So he.

Mar: 00:12:44

I never got that.

Darren: 00:12:45

He slept with her once, and that continues. But then his consciousness jumped into a different Reality where he's now redoing it, but he still knows more than she knows.

Paul: 00:12:53

It's branching off into all these timelines.

Mar: 00:12:55

Yeah, but he's going back to the point where she's already agreed. She's in bed. She's waiting for him.

Darren: 00:12:59

I know, but then. But she thinks that's the first time they're sleeping with each other.

Mar: 00:13:02

Yeah. Yeah, I kind of get that.

Paul: 00:13:04

But it's kind of a memory erase.

Mar: 00:13:05

But it's not like. It's not like she's not wanting to do it.

Darren: 00:13:07

Sure. You would be a scary person to be given a hypnotic. She's my wife. She wants to sleep with me.

Mar: 00:13:16

And there's the teaser. I never picked up on any of that. That's weird. Okay.

Paul: 00:13:19

Or the other bit is if you wanted to really overthink it, you could really go down.

Mar: 00:13:23

Yeah, I'm not a fan of overthinking.

Paul: 00:13:24

No. Because I've just thought one as well.

None of this takes away from my enjoyment of the film, but you can go down that route of he goes in the wardrobe, closes his fist, and that takes him back into the body that he was at that point. But at that point in time, he wasn't stood in the wardrobe.

So how does that work, going back into his former self if his other former self wasn't in the wardrobe at the time he went back?

Darren: 00:13:41

Yeah.

Mar: 00:13:42

It doesn't have to be a wardrobe, just somewhere dark.

Darren: 00:13:43

Yeah,.

Paul: 00:13:46

But what if his past self wasn't in that place when he went back?

Mar: 00:13:49

Who knows?

Darren: 00:13:50

I didn't mind. I kind of overlooked that a bit. I just figured it was loopholes. It's kind of a dream thing. Yeah.

But then also, I remember when I showed my students this, like, way back, and the scene where he goes for the dinner with Margot Robbie and then doesn't sleep with her. One of my students called Greg said.

Paul: 00:14:08

Oh, sorry, what was his name again?

Darren: 00:14:10

Gre. Okay. He should have just slept with her and then gone back and then she wouldn't have known. I say, that's still cheating, dude.

Like, where's the moral compass of these people?

Paul: 00:14:21

No moral compass, clearly.

Mar: 00:14:22

That's awful.

Darren: 00:14:23

Also, I mean, I may be too far on the other side of the moral compass. Don't go for a fucking dinner with Margot Robbie. Margot Robbie, who you clearly have a crush on or had a crush on without. Your wife's at home in bed.

Go home.

Paul: 00:14:35

He's just catching up. He's just catching up. It's fine, Susan. It's a little sus. But it's maggot Robbie.

Darren: 00:14:42

I was just like, don't you do it. Don't you? Don't you? And he did.

Paul: 00:14:45

Well, he didn't do her.

Darren: 00:14:46

No. But he went on. He went for dinner with her.

Paul: 00:14:47

Don't you?

Darren: 00:14:48

Yeah, no, I ain't having it.

Paul: 00:14:49

I feel like there's an in between. Maybe you should have had a coffee with her. What if he'd had a coffee with her? Is that good in between?

Darren: 00:14:53

I think you don't do it that day. You go home to your wife. He's not the wife then. So his girlfriend.

Paul: 00:14:59

Yeah.

Darren: 00:14:59

And say, oh, I bumped into this girl. She's friends with my sister. I was gonna go for a drink and catch up with her.

Paul: 00:15:04

I mean, he's got Margot Robbie and Rachel McAdams. That's not a bad weak, is it?

Mar: 00:15:08

Yeah, but one of them is his girlfriend and one's not.

Darren: 00:15:09

That's not what I'm saying.

Mar: 00:15:10

Yeah.

Paul: 00:15:11

If you've already got Rachel McAdams, even if Margot Robbie's throwing, you're like, I'm good. I've got Rachel McAdams.

Darren: 00:15:16

Yeah, but Rachel McAdams, his character, like, Mary, has so much personality and it's adorable. Like, Margot does a great job, but she hasn't got that much to work. Like you said at the beginning, she's the pretty lady.

Paul: 00:15:25

Yeah.

Darren: 00:15:25

Like, she's a temptation, basically, but she's.

Paul: 00:15:27

Played as that figure.

Darren: 00:15:28

We've got no idea what she does for a living.

Mar: 00:15:30

In his eyes, she's the one that.

Darren: 00:15:31

Got away, and which is always a painful one.

Mar: 00:15:34

Mm.

Paul: 00:15:34

There's a line I've just remembered.

The mum says, like Dom's mum says in the thing, oh, I'm glad you're not too pretty, because that means you won't have as much character or something like that.

Darren: 00:15:41

She's being tongue in cheek.

Paul: 00:15:42

But yeah, she does, of course, because Rachel McAdams describes herself as kind of looking like a squirrel.

Darren: 00:15:47

She does what?

Paul: 00:15:49

What?

Darren: 00:15:50

No wonder people are getting, like, self esteem issues when they see Rachel Adams be like, oh, my God, I'm hideous queen. What? But also, she's like Margot Robbie in this is like, model beautiful.

Where was Rachel McAdams is, like, sleepy and kind of frumpy in parts, but so freaking adorable. And I haven't seen, like, it's such a good script because even that scene where she's like, okay, you haven't organized anything for the wedding.

I'm going to take off her top for every decision you make in terms of. So what else we missed I mean, those are the main things, I think.

Paul: 00:16:19

Oh, I've got one. Because I thought, you'll like this one. There's a nod to a previous podcast we did with Nell and I. Oh,.

Darren: 00:16:25

Yes, of course there is.

Paul: 00:16:26

Where Richard E. Grant turns up and Richard Griffiths doing a scene in the play as lawyers and things. And it's all a bit of a nod to Withnail and I. Yeah.

Darren: 00:16:33

Because both actors were in with Now. Yeah. Which is a phenomenal. One of the greatest British films ever, I think.

Paul: 00:16:39

And listen to our podcast.

Darren: 00:16:40

And look at the Legend League also is set in Penrith, where we are recording this podcast.

Mar: 00:16:45

Yes, it is.

Paul: 00:16:45

Small world. I think they had a screening of it recently. It flew past on my timeline. Oh, one of the places where they filmed it, like, is it Monty's Cottage?

Yeah, I think they had like a screening just outside of it.

Darren: 00:16:56

Other than that, I mean, there's. There's good things I thought were handled well, but, like, to kind of shine a light on them. And I think it handles misdirection well.

I think it can you get wrapped up in it quite a bit because it's a romantic comedy. It feels like you're in quite safe hands. Like it's a chocolate box, you know, or it's like a nice saccharine. I'm going to watch this and just.

Mar: 00:17:14

Feel whatever I get over it. It's going to make me feel good.

Darren: 00:17:16

Yeah, totally.

But then, you know the sleight of hand that it does when he obviously loses her number because he gets a number, then he goes back that moment and he wants to help the great Tom Hollander, isn't it? Who is just.

Paul: 00:17:28

What the do you want?

Darren: 00:17:29

Yeah. Amazingly Foul Mouth also got a heart of gold. And what. You know, when Bill Nye's character dies and, yeah, he's actually, like, devastated.

It's so sweet.

Mar: 00:17:37

That's when you see the true him then, Right.

Darren: 00:17:40

It's just this mask. It's like defense mechanism. Because then he catches up with Mary and then she's got a boyfriend. I'm like, what?

Paul: 00:17:48

He missed the window. I wrote it down. He missed the window.

Darren: 00:17:51

We talked about this. Right?

Mar: 00:17:52

It's like how long Sliding doors moment in it.

Darren: 00:17:55

Yeah, it is.

Paul: 00:17:56

I know the window very well. She's finally free. And then you just about get over there and it's like, oh, I'm dating Tim now. Then Tim comes out and he's even worse.

Darren: 00:18:04

Joey and friends says it best. It's 30 minutes. Don't care how long the relationship was. You can't endorse 30 minutes later.

Paul: 00:18:10

I mean, there's a bit in how I met your mother as well where I'm sure Ted has to get the window and they have like a counting clock and make kind of almost like a 24 countdown. He's like, oh no, I've only got one day to get the window to.

Darren: 00:18:20

Yeah.

Paul: 00:18:20

Sarah Chalk from script and then the.

Darren: 00:18:23

Other again, sleight of hand. Is the baby freaking changing? Because that was such an emotional build up with his sister. And you're like, oh my God, that.

Mar: 00:18:31

Was a big curveball.

Darren: 00:18:32

Right? And then it's like, oh, now you've got a different baby.

Mar: 00:18:34

Yeah, it's like this little girl who you've like totally fallen for in your life. Just now a boy. You're like, oh, right.

Paul: 00:18:40

So he had to undo all the sister stuff. Yeah, he did. To get back his original child.

Darren: 00:18:44

It's crazy if you get quite deep with it because then does the timeline with the boy continue or is that soul just now sent back like one.

Mar: 00:18:51

Timeline and you're going back to a different one where you want it to be? Yeah, it could be.

Darren: 00:18:55

The film doesn't answer any of this honestly. It's a really kind of nice your questions. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's, it's a question.

Mar: 00:19:01

Life choices, what's really important stuff like that, your priorities.

Paul: 00:19:05

I mean the listeners have tuned in to listen to us talk about nerdy things. So this is what they would expect, surely.

Darren: 00:19:10

Yeah, surely.

Mar: 00:19:11

But what I like about this in terms of like a traditional time travel movie, it doesn't over explain things. It's a very simple premise. It sticks to it, which I think allows the watchers of the movie to just focus on the characters.

Characters, which is really what this movie's about. Not the time travel. That's just a sort of a vehicle in the movie to move it around.

Darren: 00:19:26

And it becomes a nice joke because they have that like music cue sound where you know, he's like. And it'll happen off screen and something.

And the dad kind of looking over and laughing when he kind of tweaks what they're doing was really, really cool.

Paul: 00:19:38

Where you at now? Oh, okay, yeah, got it.

Mar: 00:19:41

The scene where he comes when his dad already knows why he's there, why he's come back. Like he just thought, he goes, ah, I know you're at. You come to give me a hug, haven't you? Something like that.

Darren: 00:19:47

Oh my God, is that not you as well? What's your mother been saying? KitKat's just being in here crying.

Mar: 00:19:53

Yeah.

Darren: 00:19:53

He's like. Yeah. He said something like, if we had this conversation before. Yeah. It's the first time I let myself down.

I think I hugged you or something like that.

Mar: 00:20:00

Yeah, that was it.

Darren: 00:20:01

The cast is amazing. You got, like, Donald Gleason. Who? I mean, it's not a name. It's not a movie star, but he's in, like, a Star wars movie. He's Brendan Gleason's son.

But, yeah, I think this nepotism claim is annoying. I think. I think if you've grown up in a household where your family are actors, you're just going to be better at it.

You know, my brothers are Marines. They, you know, they grew up in a military household. It's not nepotism. You just kind of learn more.

We talked about this before, I think, with Sofia Coppola, because she grew up. She was rocked on, like, Akira Kurosawa's knee when she was four. Like, nepotism is putting her in the Godfather 3 as an actress.

Mar: 00:20:35

Yeah.

Paul: 00:20:36

I wondered if you were going to go there.

Darren: 00:20:37

You did, but he didn't want to do that. He had no. No idea. Right. And she quit. I think that was the story. And then he couldn't get anyone else, so he was. I'll use my daughter.

So it's not like, you know. So anyway, Donald Gleason is talented as hell. Rachel McAdam's phenomenal. Bill Nighy. I think this is one of the better films I've seen him in.

Margot Robbie is great. Tom Hollander is a sweary. Kind of fun character. Yeah.

Mar: 00:20:58

So much fun.

Darren: 00:20:59

But also, you've got, like, Joshua McGuire as Rory. I think he was. Then Will Merrick as the j. The ginger guy. Oh, here's another thing. I could keep going with the list. I think everyone was superb.

Another thing I noted is we could all be in relationships now if we're single. No, we could all. We genuinely. We could all be in a relationship, except we are not.

We are overlooking people because we don't want to be in relationship with them. And it happens in the first scene at New Year because there's this blonde girl who really wants to kiss him.

Mar: 00:21:26

Yeah.

Darren: 00:21:27

And he doesn't kiss her. And then she's freaking. It's unrequited love. Like, she's heartbroken. New Year, she thought she'd get a kiss.

Mar: 00:21:33

And he didn't like how that. He didn't like making her feel that way, did he?

Darren: 00:21:35

No. But then he goes back and kisses her, but she's so Happy.

Mar: 00:21:39

Yeah.

Darren: 00:21:39

And then KitKat, who's the troubled sister with many problems, who's freaking adorable as well. And I love how much Tim loves her. You know, she's like the best.

Mar: 00:21:48

She's like a. She's like the child, the person who never really grows up.

Darren: 00:21:51

Yeah, the Peter Pan. Kind of like the girl Peter Pan,.

Paul: 00:21:54

When she meets Rachel McAdams for the first time and just runs into her, throws into a beanbag. It's like, that's what I expected to do.

Darren: 00:22:01

I love that she dives in the bed with Tim and she's like, oh, sexy pajamas or something. Like, they're so comfortable with each other, it's adorable. But anyway, she totally overlooked Jay.

He was there the whole time and she was Jay with the silly hair. And then she looks. You can see her, like almost changing her predator vision to relook at changing perspective.

She'll be like, oh, wait, he is kind of funny and he is nice, but she just overlooked him. And then I start to think, how many people do I know who ended up with friends that they've known for years?

And I'm like, oh, just one day they weren't your friend. You just looked at them slightly differently or they stood closer and some, for some reason it meant.

Mar: 00:22:33

Or just you spend more time to get each other and at some point it just clicks.

Darren: 00:22:37

And I know, I mean, I'll. I'll complain and joke about being single all day long. I don't have to be single.

I could be in a relationship with someone, but I want a love like Tim and Mary had in this movie.

Paul: 00:22:46

Yeah, that's fair. I also wrote, it's kind of about the value of things. Yeah. There was a line around.

I thought this phone was old and shit, but suddenly it's my most valuable possession because all of a sudden this old shit phone has her number in it. And it was just a good line of, yeah, how things suddenly change in value.

But that's brought around later on with that scene that we often pick up on because we've got to mention at some point where it's the mundane day to day stuff, we take it for granted. Kind of walk through in a bit of a mist. It's like, oh, oh, it's Monday. Oh, shit.

And that scene where he does what his dad suggests and he redoes the same day, but looks it without the pressures that we would normally put on ourselves. So are they going to win the court case or, you know, all the.

Mar: 00:23:26

Pressures, a bad experience goes, oh, that was actually okay.

Paul: 00:23:29

Yeah. And. And he gets through and then he does the second day and he.

Like the first day when he orders the coffee and he just doesn't look at the person serving him and it's like, yeah, thanks. And he's getting to wherever he's going, his mind's on something else. Else. But then the second day he takes the moment to look at her.

Darren: 00:23:42

I think that's called your reticular activating system. I think that's what it's called with your brain. And basically your brain's so energy demanding.

Mar: 00:23:48

Yeah.

Darren: 00:23:48

That it block. It deletes a lot of stuff.

Mar: 00:23:51

It doesn't take it in, it tries to link it. You need to focus on this. Forget that.

Darren: 00:23:53

Yeah, totally.

So if you'd say something silly like, oh, there's no jobs out there, your brain won't pay attention to them, it won't bring your attention to the adverts or stuff. So you. It's like a mindset, all this, like.

Mar: 00:24:02

It's a mentality thing.

Darren: 00:24:03

It is. So you've got to just be like, like where is the beauty?

Mar: 00:24:06

It's like having a defeatist attitude like I'm never gonna win. You're not gonna win. That attitude.

Darren: 00:24:09

I remember someone's mum told him, he's like, you know, whenever you're watching these horrible stories on the news, whatever, look for the good people. Look for the people who are helping because they're always there. There's always people fighting the good fight.

Mar: 00:24:19

Just depends what's being focused on, isn't it?

Darren: 00:24:21

Exactly.

And I remember when my kid was born, you know, I'd be like pushing her in a pram, whatever, around town and she would be looking up and around and I remember being in like boccegate in color and pausing and looking up at the buildings because she was. And I was like, like these buildings are freaking gorgeous. And we're just walking past them like they're nothing. It's like.

Have you ever seen those times when it's like a world class classical like violinist and then he'll be in the tube playing.

Paul: 00:24:44

I can't get over that because I would have to stand and watch and take it in. People don't, they just walk past because.

Darren: 00:24:49

It's the wrong setting. They want to go to like the theater or the opera house, you know, they, they don't because your art graffiti is worthless.

But you put that graffiti in an art gallery and it has worth and. But why I never got that.

Mar: 00:25:00

I've had like my daughter will be going, daddy, why is that up there? What does? And I'm like, I have no idea. I've never even noticed that before. And then I'll go.

I'll either look it up a rabbit hole or we'll go to someone where it is and ask them. I want to know as well.

Darren: 00:25:12

There's a scene at the beginning of Gladiator where Russell Crowe is the general. It's right at the opening and he's about to go to war. Like his army's ready, they're about to try.

Mar: 00:25:22

I feel like I need to see this movie.

Darren: 00:25:24

Oh, my God. And there's a point at some point where he pauses. Apparently it's the first thing Ridley Scott, with him, he was like, okay, but mate, I want you to.

You're focusing on your job. You're the general. And then you're going to see a bird. And I want you to look over, see the bird, and then turn back to your task at hand.

And so in the film, you see him, he's like the general and stress. And then he looks over and he sees a robin.

And for a moment he just smiles and he takes in the moment, the beauty, and it takes a breath and then becomes a general again. And there's elements of beauty like that all around us at all times. And it's just paying attention.

Mar: 00:25:52

Well, taking the time.

Paul: 00:25:54

I went to the supermarket not long after I'd seen this. And have you seen people in supermarkets these days?

Oh, I mean, I don't watch that many zombie films, but I imagine it's like a supermarket right now.

Everyone's just in this daze and this trance and there's no fun and there's no one laughing, and it's just people, like going through this motion thing and. And I kind of shake myself when I go in and think, no, no, just take it in, look at stuff, buy what you need, get out. But. But I kind of.

People watch when I'm walking around it now. But if you look at most people, they're just like miserable in this days. Like, how did we get to this? I don't remember it. It be.

Has it always been like this?

Darren: 00:26:28

We've had like at least 15 years where it's been really bad and it cost a living.

Paul: 00:26:33

Social media, toothpaste and freaking out at the cost of it. But I'm still trying to enjoy life, but I'm looking at other people's faces.

Darren: 00:26:39

I do think. I do think the system is collapsing.

Mar: 00:26:41

One thing we haven't spoken about is the title of this movie, which I think is Loaded because it's about time, but isn't about time. It's about time. No, it's not about time travel, but it's also like, isn't it about time you did something or you did this?

Or it's about having time with people or the time you have limited time you have left with people.

Paul: 00:26:58

And it's the value that.

Mar: 00:27:00

Or appreciating the time that you do.

Darren: 00:27:01

Have, that's a valuable. That. That's the thing that could kind of change my worldview, because I do. I really.

I've had a really challenging summer with mental health, but anxiety in particular. And this idea. I think the line is the real troubles in life will always be things that never crossed your worried mind.

And it is like, you know, you can be worried about, oh, my God, like, is the car gonna pass? It's Amity or. Or whatever it is you're bothering about. But, you know, like, my.

Mar: 00:27:24

My view of what title was changed by the time I got to the movie. It's more about appreciating the time that you do have.

Darren: 00:27:30

Yeah.

Mar: 00:27:30

Like, he ends up realizing if he can go back, he doesn't in the end. No, because it's not. He appreciates where he is now. He could live in the moment, deal with it as right. Right in front of him.

Darren: 00:27:39

I'm reading a book on at the moment. I was literally reading it before I came here.

And the chapter I was almost talking about the importance of mindfulness, but it wasn't that whole kind of meme, like, oh, mindfulness is important. Like, it's a textbook, basically. And it was breaking it down.

It breaks it down into technical terms, like, you know what your ego is, but your ability to watch your own thoughts and manage them and accept the positive ones and remove the negative ones is like the key to a successful life. And that's all he's really doing. He's being mindful. He's been in the moment and he's focusing on the positives.

Paul: 00:28:09

And the beauty of a Richard Curtis film is no matter how deep it gets with all that stuff or the death or the bereavement and all that thing, there's always like a funny line just to just break just at the.

Mar: 00:28:18

Right time as well.

Paul: 00:28:19

Yeah. Like I plump for. But it was the 70s. It's like such a Bill Naylor.

And then where the boyfriend that she did get in the potential future when he's going into the party that he's managed to get her out of, and he just walks past. He's like, what a. Oh, yeah. Because you obviously know that that could have been the guy. It's like. Yeah, it's quite funny as well.

So there's always these little moments of levity that just sort of balance it out.

Darren: 00:28:41

There's also, I mean, I like the bit where he momentarily struggles with the bra because I think every guy can relate to that at some point. Am I the only guy as well who. I can't emphasize enough the beauty of a front opening bra.

Like, I just think that if you're going to unleash them like, we. We are, we are.

Paul: 00:28:58

I didn't know we were going to get to this.

Darren: 00:28:59

We are very excitable young boys again. But that moment's about to happen and I think the front opening bar is just a genius.

Mar: 00:29:05

I've never come across one ever in my life.

Darren: 00:29:07

I don't think I have either.

Paul: 00:29:09

No.

Mar: 00:29:09

Actually, I don't think my boobs aren't big enough. So anyway, anything else on? What do we miss? I think Bill Nighy, even though he's not in that much, quietly steals the film.

Darren: 00:29:15

He absolutely does. And he's delivery. There's a sign where I think the moment the mum says something like, oh, it's been lovely having you here all summer, Charlotte.

And Bill Nye says, have you enjoyed having Charlotte here, Tim?

Mar: 00:29:29

Just cut straight through. I love that. That's good.

Darren: 00:29:31

Yeah. And that was a fun bit where she's like, tim, can you put the sun cream suntan lotion on me?

And he jumps up and runs over and he makes a tit of himself. Then he redoes it. But the dad just looks and can clearly tell what he's doing. That's not your first time doing this, is it?

Mar: 00:29:46

Yeah. That's good.

Darren: 00:29:48

He says a couple of things about what to do and he said, I think Tim says, oh, I want loads of money. No, money's not the answer. Like, you think it's going to make you happy. It doesn't. For me it was books. I've read everything like three times.

Whatever. And then he was like, Tim says, oh, it would be nice if we didn't have a job. He's like, no, not working isn't the answer. Look at your uncle. Whatever.

You know what happened to him? Nothing. He did all. And I think that's nice. It doesn't. It doesn't give you any, like, hard, fast rules of this is what you're.

Mar: 00:30:14

Because everyone's not trying to project anything on people. It's just trying to make you realize yourself.

Darren: 00:30:17

Yeah. And it's what's important for like Tim, he ends up with two kids or two. Yeah, yeah.

Paul: 00:30:22

And then it's that thing of like you said, he doesn't have to travel back in time because he's enjoying the.

Mar: 00:30:26

Moment and that's kind of learn his lesson.

Paul: 00:30:27

And that's the ending, isn't it? So like you could say, oh, nothing happens.

Well, actually it does because it's that hero's character journey of him learning the skill, mastering the skill and then not really needing it because yeah, it's kind of moved.

Mar: 00:30:39

From then on, the only thought I had of why he would ever need to do it again is like if he's in a car crash and it was his fault or something, he'd be like, oh, I need to do that again. But you'd have to leave the scene of a crime, commit a crime to get to a dark place. Like, I'll just do that again.

Paul: 00:30:51

Yeah, well, there's that bit where he's having the argument with Retro Kadams and he's desperately trying to read and say it differently. No, you're not leaving this room. He's like, ah, I'm stuck here now.

Darren: 00:31:01

I love, I love the like the back and forth so much. I think he and his dad does it early on in the first five minutes. So he's dialogue, he says, oh, this isn't true. But it is. But it isn't though. It's.

Oh, but it is though, isn't it? Yeah, that was cool.

Mar: 00:31:14

Anything else?

Darren: 00:31:14

And what do you miss Harry, who is the sweary guy?

Like he seems like a bit of a prick, but it's all just a defense mechanism because he's a vulnerable artist and you know, it probably struggles with life like a lot of artists do, but there's a bit where he talks, he's oh, that's my ex wife. And then he says something like, it turns out she can be hard to know. She's a sarcastic, but it turns out she's the best human in existence.

Mar: 00:31:37

And I'm like, so about your ex like that.

Darren: 00:31:39

Yeah, why you adorable guy. Yeah, there's a lot of. Every single character has a character. Yeah, they do.

Paul: 00:31:46

Which is very rich. Occurs again if you look at Notting Hill, all them background characters, he doesn't.

Mar: 00:31:51

Bring in people just for the sake of it. Like they have a meaning and a.

Darren: 00:31:54

Purpose in a film and it feels like you could follow any of them home and their life continued. Like a gta npc.

Mar: 00:32:00

Yeah, absolutely. Okay, thank you, gentlemen. That takes us nicely into Paul's fantastic Facts of the day.

Paul: 00:32:06

Okay, let's whittle through some of these. When Tim mentions. Mentions that it's a long walk to Mary's car, he's not kidding.

The distance between Joanna's flat and Mary's apartment is about six miles across central London.

Darren: 00:32:17

Also talk about that for a second. She's like, can you walk me to my car? And he's like, yes, yes. And then she's like, oh, the car is actually at my apartment.

We've been walking to my apartment. Gold clearly in there.

Mar: 00:32:28

Green flag.

Darren: 00:32:29

Yes.

Paul: 00:32:29

I think I'd need more.

Darren: 00:32:31

You need more consent.

Paul: 00:32:32

Some kind of letter that put it all in writing.

Darren: 00:32:34

Like.

Paul: 00:32:35

Like a contract.

Darren: 00:32:35

Yeah. The Breath of Lights. And make sure she hasn't been drinking.

Paul: 00:32:38

The world scares me now, you know.

Mar: 00:32:40

Everything scares you, Paul.

Paul: 00:32:42

I know Zoe Deschanel. I don't know why I say it like that. She was originally cast as Mary. I heard that, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

So, Rachel McAdams, what film did we talk about?

Darren: 00:32:53

The Gods. The movie Gods. I think it was Frankenstein. Guillermo del Toro talks about the movie Gods, and the movie will be what it's supposed to be.

We would not be talking about this movie if this was Zoe Deschanel. I love Zoe Deschanel. She's phenomenal. But that would have been a different movie.

Paul: 00:33:06

Yeah, I agree. The movie Gods working the magic. Definitely. Towards the end. Rory is reading the book Trash, which is Richard Curtis's next film.

r both this film and trash in: 2014

Darren: 00:33:24

Why do you think that was? I saw that start as well.

Paul: 00:33:26

Yeah.

Mar: 00:33:27

Interesting.

Darren: 00:33:28

I think it's also. It's kind of like the Dog Soldiers theory. I don't think everyone gets to see every aspect of, like, British life that often.

And this was a really nice story. Like, mixes London with Cornwall, and it's. It's nice. It is a fairy tale.

Mar: 00:33:40

Yeah.

Darren: 00:33:41

Please tell me it's not a fairy tale, Paul.

Paul: 00:33:42

It says here it's a fairy tale.

Darren: 00:33:44

Ah, yeah.

Paul: 00:33:45

Oh, did you want me to say it's not a fairy tale? I'll tell you what you want to hear.

Darren: 00:33:51

That's what my AI girlfriend will say.

Paul: 00:33:53

That's what I'm thinking.

Darren: 00:33:54

You could do it without a subscription.

Mar: 00:33:56

And your top on.

Darren: 00:33:57

Yeah.

Paul: 00:33:58

And I hate to break this to Dom, but guess who's already managed to get with Margot Robbie and Rachel McCall Adams in different films who have a Thing.

Darren: 00:34:05

Ryan Gosling.

Paul: 00:34:06

Yeah.

Darren: 00:34:06

Goslin's already this notebook and Barbie.

Paul: 00:34:10

Yeah, yeah. In Mary's apartment, the framed illustration of a little girl reading is Matilda by Quentin Blake.

Matilda is the popular rolled out character known for being magical and reading lots of books because obviously she reads lots of books in the film. That's her job.

It has three Harry Potter series, co stars because let's face it, to be honest, everyone was in Harry Potter, who's British and an actor at the time. So Richard Griffiths, Bill Nighy and Dom Gleason. And Dom Gleason's mom is actually called Mary. Just like in the movie.

It was shipped to theaters under the code name Cupboard. I've seen a few of these recently when I've been doing this where it's like it was shipped to theaters under the coat.

And I'm thinking for something like this, would it really need that much secret?

Mar: 00:34:46

Well, to keep it like top secrets. I don't know what it is.

Paul: 00:34:48

Well, I was going to ask you, Darren, like doesn't get leaked. When you were sort of in cinema land, did you often find that where you had movies coming in?

Darren: 00:34:54

Yeah, all the time. Yeah. But usually to be the bigger ones, be like a Star wars or Harry.

Paul: 00:34:58

Potter or like James Bond, but not particularly anything like.

Darren: 00:35:01

Yeah, but that was in the back in the days of digital when you had to ship them around. Now it's all just downloaded.

Mar: 00:35:06

You mean analog?

Darren: 00:35:06

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back in the days of film tape. Yeah. When you have to stick it together.

Mar: 00:35:11

Yeah.

Paul: 00:35:11

The whole blind date thing in the dark, that was based straight off a experience of Richard Curtis.

Darren: 00:35:16

That's amazing. Apparently that's.

Mar: 00:35:17

I like it when people do that.

Darren: 00:35:18

Then one of those things does exist in London. So this idea where you go from for a day in the dark and you're like served by blind people, which is. Are they blind? They aren't they?

Paul: 00:35:26

I don't know.

Darren: 00:35:26

Maybe that was a different thing. It'd be a great thing to do is to hire blind people for that if there's no lights.

But also it reminded me of Danger Mouse because Danger Mouse was a low budget animation that they had so little money that every episode there would just be a scene where it was black and you just see Penfold's eyes.

Mar: 00:35:40

Oh, yes.

Paul: 00:35:41

I just thought that was an artistic choice.

Mar: 00:35:43

Became quite iconic part of the series.

Darren: 00:35:45

I also think there's something. So I think it's easier to. To connect with someone when it's dark.

Mar: 00:35:51

I think you have to use different senses. So I think if Ever.

Darren: 00:35:54

I'm like, sleeping in a room with, say, women or girl. And even if it's platonic, once you start that dark whispering thing, it just.

Mar: 00:36:02

Gets, like, flirty and you whisper even though you don't need to.

Darren: 00:36:06

Yeah.

Mar: 00:36:06

It could be just the two of you. Why are we whispering? I don't know.

Paul: 00:36:09

You do the rest of the episode. Should we do, like an ASMR or whatever it's called Episode. We were all like. So the next.

Mar: 00:36:15

No, let's not do that.

Darren: 00:36:16

Okay. Are you still awake?

Paul: 00:36:19

When Tim's dad shares his regret about not saying I love you during his best man speech, one can hear the heartbeats, indicating he's about to time travel.

Darren: 00:36:28

Oh, yeah. Nice.

Paul: 00:36:29

Which is what you're saying. It kind of kicks in.

Darren: 00:36:30

Yeah. It's close to a sound. It's like a.

Paul: 00:36:34

The film takes place in the span of around 8 years. Tim and Mary's marriage is around 3 years after the film starts. That and Posey is seen entering a reception at the end when she would be 5 years old.

Oh, and Charlie Curtis, who is Richard Curtis's son, is the boy playing young Tim at the end.

Darren: 00:36:50

Yeah.

Mar: 00:36:51

Interesting.

Darren: 00:36:52

Yeah. In the beach.

Paul: 00:36:52

On the beach.

Mar: 00:36:53

Yeah.

Paul: 00:36:53

There you go. That should do. There's some facts of the day.

Mar: 00:36:56

Thank you very much, Paul. Okay, that takes us into hate it or rate it. So it was your choice, Paul, so we're gonna go over straight to you.

Darren: 00:37:05

Yeah. When was the last time you saw it?

Mar: 00:37:07

It.

Paul: 00:37:07

So I haven't seen it for a while, and it's one of those I've really enjoyed. I've maybe seen it two or three times previously.

Maybe not as much as some of the other ones, because it hasn't got, like we were saying, it hasn't got the festive love action.

Darren: 00:37:17

And you want to watch it in a relationship, really.

Paul: 00:37:19

Yeah. Maybe. It did break me a lot. I mean, there was. There was a lot of things going on in that film that just hit a nerve and broke me.

Yeah, but isn't that what we watch movies for, to work through these things?

Darren: 00:37:31

It's to feel something. So we escape the existential numbing despair that we feel day to day.

Paul: 00:37:36

Yeah.

I'm not going to say I ended up in a therapy session with ChatGPT for about half an hour after I'd watched it, but I was in a therapy session after I watched it. So, yeah, for me, I think it is one of his. I want to say underrated, but it is rated fairly highly. But it's one that seems to get forgotten A bit.

But I think it's one of his best as well, because he kind of takes that magic that he has of writing and the tone of a Richard Curtis film. He takes that. He puts time travel in the mix, and it's a rom com, but then he uses it to kind of highlight these big points of life.

And it's one of them where you're always thinking about it a few days after you've seen it, and you're always doing that thing where you're like, I need to take in this more. And I found myself doing it looking at buildings and looking at things.

I know the whole thing is collapsing, but there's still some beauty in the world. Maybe I'll run into Rachel McAdams as I'm beeping this thing through the till. Oh, I did. I didn't. I'll go back home.

Maybe I'll run at Rachel McAdams as I'm walking down the street. Oh, I didn't. Yeah. But the hope's there for a little while, until it then dies again and you go back to your island. Anyway, I will stop waffling on.

No, I think it's really magically made movie. It's very smart how he does the time travel. He lays it out. He gives you some basic rules so he can use that.

It's a bit like Groundhog Day, because they don't really explain that either. They just.

Mar: 00:38:48

It's just happening.

Paul: 00:38:49

It's just happening. And it means you can focus more on, you know, is he a God? Is he not? Is he whatever, Is he in the loop?

It doesn't really matter because it's more about the characters and the thing. And it's a bit like this with this film. It was great to see all them faces that have now gone on to greater things. You. Margot Robbie is.

And, you know, I forgot Tom Holland, who was in this film and was so funny in it. He's almost like the Spike character from Notting Hill, isn't he? Sort of.

Darren: 00:39:09

It's also a really nice guy he. He worked with. He did a film called the Borman Project. Short film made by two kids straight out of uni.

Paul: 00:39:17

Oh, that's nice.

Darren: 00:39:17

And. And then he brought along the guy in Sherlock and Hitchhiker Galaxy and the Hobbit.

Paul: 00:39:22

Martin Friedman.

Mar: 00:39:23

Freeman.

Darren: 00:39:23

Yeah. So Martin Freeman, you can find it. I think you have to pay for it. It's called the Foreman Project, and it's. Tom Hollander plays the devil.

Mar: 00:39:30

Oh, wow.

Paul: 00:39:30

I can imagine you'd be good at that.

Darren: 00:39:31

Yeah, it's really, really good.

Paul: 00:39:34

He's a versatile dude, isn't he? But yeah, overall, I mean, I love Rachel McAdams. I've seen the Notebook. I fell in Love with Rachel McAdams numerous times now in different films.

And she's so funny and mean girls as well. It's not. Let's not. That's kind of a legendary role as well. Oh, what am I going to give it so I don't have to spend three hours editing this?

I'm gonna give it 9.5.

Mar: 00:39:54

Wow.

Paul: 00:39:54

I don't know, I'm not quite giving it a 10, but it literally shredded my emotions inside out. I think it's a beautifully made film. I don't think it's gonna be for everyone.

There's gonna be some people if they don't like them other films we've talked about or the Richard Curtis touch or.

Mar: 00:40:06

Anything like that, or if they hear sci fi and they want more of that, they'll be disappointed.

Paul: 00:40:10

Yeah. If they want more of that stuff, they're gonna be disappointed.

Mar: 00:40:12

It's not about them. This is about you.

Paul: 00:40:14

Yeah, yeah, yeah. For me. You know, I love a good rom com. I'm a sucker for all that stuff. But I love it when there's that extra, extra bit as well.

That extra bit of, you know what, have a look around at life and don't know how long you've got. It kind of raises them big questions.

Mar: 00:40:26

And it makes you think, value the people around you.

Paul: 00:40:28

Yeah.

Mar: 00:40:29

Like, don't take me for granted. Stuff like that.

Paul: 00:40:30

I mean, I'm a few days off since I watched this, but I'm still thinking about them things almost give me a lift. Well, it broke me and give me a lift at the same time, which.

Mar: 00:40:39

Is knocked you down. Then it builds you back up. Yeah.

Paul: 00:40:41

And I'm watching a TV show at the moment very quickly called this is Us. And I've just finished, finished the first series and it's Mandy Moore and Milo Ven.

I can't pronounce his second name properly, so I won't surprise the guy from Heroes, but Milo and Mandy are kind of.

I won't go into it, but it's one of them series that does the same sort of thing or it kind of breaks you in one minute and then you're laughing in the next minute and then you're crying with joy. So I feel like this is one of them films.

Mar: 00:41:04

9.5.

Paul: 00:41:04

Let's give it.

Mar: 00:41:05

Okay. Over to you, Mr. Horn.

Darren: 00:41:06

Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a Richard Kat's film. Paul is saying a lot of white things. There's things that you can dig into that we dug into that may be a bit problematic.

But there's also bits that are kind of funny. Like Charlotte. He tries to hook up with Charlotte on the last night. And she said, no, you should have asked earlier. So then he goes and asks earlier.

She's like, no, you may be on the last night. He's like, what the fuck? You can't please women sometimes. But that's a generalization. You can't please Charlotte sometimes.

Or she was just nicely letting him down, you know, maybe so they get over it. I do think this is one of the finest romantic comedies ever made. I'm curious as to what else would be up there other than other Richard Kite.

This movie, such as Nightingale for Entertainment Funeral.

Paul: 00:41:40

He is the master.

Darren: 00:41:41

I also wonder if there's a more like boy friendly romantic comedy because Richard Curtis movies feel boyfriendly. Whereas I wouldn't necessarily want to watch like Bridget Jones. Like I'll watch it and it's. It's okay. Like it's kind of fun.

But I wouldn't go out my way and I wouldn't watch much depth. I would also want to watch the Notebook. And I don't still haven't like watched that.

Paul: 00:41:58

So it's kind of. It's probably because it's always through a character. That's almost the Richard Curtis insert. Is it?

Darren: 00:42:04

I think it's also. They're more intelligent, I think. I think sometimes romantic comedies can be quite dumbed down and quite two dimensional.

And the covers, you can tell by the covers a lot of time. This also has a phenomenal soundtrack as well.

Mar: 00:42:14

It does.

Darren: 00:42:14

I actually then listened to the soundtrack on Spotify. It was like.

Mar: 00:42:17

I did as well. Yeah.

Darren: 00:42:18

But one scene that did bug me is the scene in like the Underground where a band called Bellow had a plane. And it's like a montage of them walking past. But then they kind of turn around and give money and do a little bow.

Like, oh my God, we've got Bellow head in movie. It's Bellowhead. Like. Like I met them. I produced and filmed one of their concert DVDs in the O2 Arena. Like a 22 camera shoot you can buy on Amazon.

I don't get any money from it. But it was the second one. Not the ones that Shepherd's Bush, the one, the blue cover. I was a producer on that. But they're nice lads.

But it's just weird. It's not like they had Big prints or someone never heard of them. But all that said, I cried. I laughed. Yeah, I laughed a lot.

Paul: 00:42:57

Did you believe in love for at least 40 minutes?

Darren: 00:42:58

Did you say, I do believe in love. And I do think that for me, Rachel McAdam's character is almost. She's just adorable.

Mar: 00:43:05

Yeah.

Darren: 00:43:05

Like, I fall in, like, when she's, like, sleepy, and she's just like, no, I'm sleeping. Shh. Like, I love bed. I'm in bed now. And like, that's such a believable. Like, I've been in relationships where girls have been like that.

She's freaking adorable. So, yeah, I loved it. Every character. There's so much love in that household.

It's like this big house on the beach, and it's where you go to feel love. And it feels like. I imagine. Imagine it's a refuge for so many people who just go there to heal. I love that scene when the mum is.

Sees them just after they found out that the dad's only got, like, a couple of weeks to live. And they've been protecting the kids. Right. Because that's why he retired at 50.

Mar: 00:43:38

Yeah.

Darren: 00:43:39

He was like, you know, found out I got cancer, retired, and didn't tell the kids. And she says I'm. What? She say? I'm absolutely furious. I have no interest of living without that man in my life. What?

Mar: 00:43:48

Yeah.

Darren: 00:43:49

A testament to love. So there's still not another movie like this? There's nothing that I think you can compare it to.

Paul: 00:43:56

I mean, all the ones we compared it to were just because of tone or content, but the actual overall thing, it's very much. It's.

Darren: 00:44:03

I do think it's a masterpiece. I really wish it. I don't know if it was even nominated for best script, but it should have been.

I don't feel like we get movies like this anymore, so I. I think I've got to give it 10 out of 10.

Paul: 00:44:14

Nice.

Mar: 00:44:14

Wow. Okay.

Darren: 00:44:16

It was just. It's like even. Even watching this alone, and I've got tinnitus at the moment, which is doing, like, heading.

But watching this alone, it was like, we've talked about this movies before.

It's like when you're sitting on the sofa and you've got a blanket over you with a cup of tea, and it's like a Sunday and you've got the flu or something. This is. This movie. This movie is a blanket around you just for a moment to breathe while you try and deal with life.

Paul: 00:44:39

And it's interesting, though, because you said, I want really in the mood. But then it's obviously dragged you in.

I had a similar thing where it's like, oh, normally, you know, you kind of pick your films because it's like, I feel in this mood. I'm going to watch this. But obviously because we do the podcast now, it's like, like, oh, I have to watch this for the podcast.

Darren: 00:44:53

Yeah.

Paul: 00:44:54

And I wasn't really in the mood to watch it.

Darren: 00:44:55

Ten minutes in, it starts so charmingly. And if even Jay can find love, dude, we're gonna find love. Have you seen it before?

Mar: 00:45:03

No, no.

Darren: 00:45:03

Didn't know much about it.

Mar: 00:45:04

Didn't know much about it at all. Apart from briefly knew it was about time travel just because you guys briefly mentioned it.

Darren: 00:45:09

And did you watch it with a fam.

Mar: 00:45:10

I watch it with my wife. Ridiculous premise. Amazing movie. I just. From beginning to end, so quotable.

It's just well written, the casting's fantastic, all the characters are believable. You're invested. Time travel thing at the beginning, I was thinking that was gonna be a big part of the movie, but it's really not.

No, this is just about the characters. The testament is there was multiple times we'd stop the movie and talk about something that's going on. Like, so does that mean.

Or what you do or, you know, those are the things, like chopping up. Yeah, that's interesting. Someone. She'd start talking, I'd start talking like, oh, I might as well pause it. We'll have a conversation about whatever.

Whatever just happened. There's not many movies I can say that's happening happened. That happened multiple times.

Paul: 00:45:44

Oh, wow.

Mar: 00:45:45

So that was really good.

Paul: 00:45:45

So she enjoyed it too?

Mar: 00:45:46

Yes, yeah, I really enjoyed it. Yeah. It's one of those ups and down movies. It just takes you. It takes you along with it and you're like, yeah, yeah. When he.

When he's got cancer and he retires early, like that line with the mother. Yeah, that hit me. That hit me hard.

Paul: 00:45:58

I was so furious when he lost the number. You know, I've seen him before a few times and even that bit still gets me.

Darren: 00:46:06

I'm like, no, all those bits like you were saying when Tim goes back to visit the dad and the dad knows why and he's, oh, is it this?

Mar: 00:46:13

Yeah, I was gone. I was gone. Then I was. But this movie, I love movies that make you ask questions about yourself or about how we as a society are living life.

Make you appreciate what you have, what little time you have. Like you've said it before, Darren, like how many More sunsets. Am I going to see things like that? That's the kind of level it was on.

And some things are just out of your control, so there's no point worrying about them.

Darren: 00:46:31

Likewise, you've said, look, we both got young daughters. There'll be a day which is the last time day we pick them up and we won't know what day that is.

Mar: 00:46:36

Yeah.

Darren: 00:46:37

We'll just realize we haven't picked them up again.

Mar: 00:46:38

Yeah. Or the day they don't want to cuddle. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.

Paul: 00:46:41

How long have we got? Yeah, that's kind of the overarching thing, isn't it?

Mar: 00:46:44

And nobody knows. So live like it. Like you don't know how long you've got left. So. Yeah, all in all it was just fantastic.

I wasn't prepared for how good this was going to be. I mean I like, I like a rom com, but.

Paul: 00:46:53

Well, I thought I'd give you a good one.

Mar: 00:46:55

Yeah, he did. He's probably give me the best one.

Paul: 00:46:57

There you go.

Mar: 00:46:57

Yeah, like you're saying it's quite unique. I can't. I was looking it up and it's not really compared to many things other than other Richard Curtis movies, which is testament to him.

So I'm gonna give it a 9.2.

Darren: 00:47:05

Nice.

Paul: 00:47:06

Nice.

Darren: 00:47:06

Also like another character. Sorry to go back to it, but the uncle was adorable as well. And I love that bit where he gives Tim like a handful of coins. It's like I. I miss again.

This is another thing. My.

Where my grandmother was around, she'd send me a card with like a pound coin or two pound coins in, but they were, they were inside like a cut out piece of cardboard and it was taped inside the card.

Mar: 00:47:28

Yeah.

Darren: 00:47:28

And I'd be like, oh, two pounds for my 29th birthday. But now as an adult I'm just like, hell, she probably didn't afford the heat in that day, you know, like what the. It's like when people laugh at.

They're having a pizza day at school and it's like one pizza to go around 30 people. And then as an adult you realize the teacher probably pay for that their own money.

Mar: 00:47:47

Yeah.

Paul: 00:47:47

You know, so. So if you're having a pizza day and Darren's your teacher, I'm not. You're getting the smallest pizza there is.

Darren: 00:47:54

Damn it, dude, my cottage is free. Reusing. I need the heating, otherwise I will die. I've had the heating on in August.

Paul: 00:48:00

Let your teacher live. No pizza for you.

Mar: 00:48:02

Yeah, right. Okay, so this is a big score. It gives it a total of 28.7, which puts it in third. Oh, right up there. So it's just behind.

Paul: 00:48:12

I was close to giving it a 10 as well. Was it.

Mar: 00:48:14

Was it by 28.7. So just behind Star Wars A New Hope 29 and the Terminator 29.5. And it's just above Jaws at 28.5 and It's a Wonderful Life at 27 point point two.

Paul: 00:48:25

So it beat Jaws in A Wonderful Life.

Mar: 00:48:27

Yeah.

Darren: 00:48:27

I know you can't really gender move it or you shouldn't gender movers, but it's nice to have a bit more of a, like a feminine film up.

Mar: 00:48:32

There or just a well rounded movie that's not like, yeah, this way or that way. It's just. Yeah, good wholesome movie. Love it.

Paul: 00:48:38

More comms for you too. Yay.

Mar: 00:48:41

So that's what we thought. I would love to know what you think. So send, send us a message in and we'll read them out on the show.

So what in our back catalog, what do you think would make a good follow up to this?

Darren: 00:48:50

Nine Hill. Yes, we've done that with Nyla and I.

Paul: 00:48:52

Sliding Doors.

Mar: 00:48:53

Sliding Doors. Yeah, there's.

Darren: 00:48:55

Although if you're going to do. Yeah, okay, but if you're going to watch Sliding Doors in about time, watch Sliding Doors first. Yeah, Sliding Doors will not live up to a follow up.

Mar: 00:49:03

Don't just watch the movie. Listen to the episode all the time. But if you haven't seen them, do both.

Paul: 00:49:07

I do love Sliding Doors as well. But yeah, this one definitely has the edge.

Mar: 00:49:11

That takes us into part three, which is now called the Lobby. Okay, so that takes us into part three, the Lobby. So let's begin with the inbox couple here. Hi, lads. Love the podcast. Here's one for you.

If you had to choose one actor and you could only watch five films from their entire career for the rest of your life, who are you picking? Which movies? Oh, he's a bit more.

I'm tempted to say Tom Hanks because I could probably quite happily live up with Forrest Gump saving Pratt Ryan, Castaway, the Green Mile, and Big. But then I start thinking about everyone else, everyone I've left out. And I immediately start changing my answer. Cheers.

And that's from Jamie from Leeds.

Darren: 00:49:52

I think off the top of my head, I think I find it easier with the director. But I think my answer when I thought about this about 15, 20 years ago was always Kurt Russell. And now I'm thinking about Kurt Russell.

I'm thinking Tombstone Escape from New York when I saw a big job in Little China. It isn't as great as I remember. It's still solid. I'd watch it again. But then you've got overboard.

Mar: 00:50:12

Lord.

Darren: 00:50:12

You've got Death Proof Soldier. You got the Santa Claus movies, whatever they're called.

Paul: 00:50:17

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Darren: 00:50:19

Like, Kurt's done a fair bit and he's always just fun to watch.

Mar: 00:50:22

Yeah.

Darren: 00:50:22

I always think he's having fun filming whatever movie he's in. He's in Hateful Eight.

Mar: 00:50:26

Yeah. For me, it's probably Tom Cruise. No. My actor. But he's probably got enough variation of what he's done. If I think about it, I'm just.

He's the first one that's come to mind. Like, love. Loads of different. Like, he's got very different roles. He could probably.

Darren: 00:50:36

It's great to have Maverick. But then you've also got Magnolia.

Mar: 00:50:40

I like. I like Risky Business.

Paul: 00:50:41

Yeah. You got Vanilla sky, the Firm, Minority Report. So many different possibles.

Darren: 00:50:46

Yeah. It's a good choice.

Mar: 00:50:47

You, Paul?

Paul: 00:50:48

I was almost going to pick Tom, but I'll pick something different. Because you picked Tom.

Darren: 00:50:50

I think you'd go for a lady. Lady sign. Hathaway and Hathaway.

Paul: 00:50:53

I'll tell you, there's two in my head.

Mar: 00:50:55

Oh, could we guess? Anne Hathaway, One of them.

Paul: 00:50:57

Yeah.

Mar: 00:50:58

Okay.

Paul: 00:50:59

That was going to be one of my ladies, Julie Roberts.

Darren: 00:51:01

No, it won't be Julia Roberts.

Paul: 00:51:03

I was gonna pick Natalie or.

Mar: 00:51:05

Oh, Natalie Portman. Yes.

Darren: 00:51:07

Natalie Portman's done enough.

Mar: 00:51:09

I don't think she's gonna step.

Paul: 00:51:10

Surely I'd have picked on.

Mar: 00:51:11

Probably in his mind. She probably has.

Paul: 00:51:13

Yes.

Darren: 00:51:14

I mean, I do like a good Natalie. You've got. What's that? Beautiful girls. Which I like.

Paul: 00:51:19

Yeah.

Darren: 00:51:19

And you've got Leon.

Mar: 00:51:20

Yeah.

Darren: 00:51:21

Is it much more.

Paul: 00:51:22

What I mean is the much more. You've got where the heart is. You've got anywhere but here.

Darren: 00:51:26

I haven't seen either of these.

Mar: 00:51:27

I've never heard of either of them.

Paul: 00:51:29

Anyway. Anyway, we'll say.

Mar: 00:51:30

There you go. That's.

Paul: 00:51:31

But then I kind of want to pick Michael Keaton.

Mar: 00:51:33

Yeah, there's a lot. You've just got to pick one and stick with it.

Paul: 00:51:35

So don't pick Anne Hathaway. I don't pick Michael Keaton. I'm very confused now.

Mar: 00:51:38

Yeah. So it's not really. It's not the question of the week or anything. It's just someone in your meltdown. I thought I'd put it out there.

So if you're listening to this and you, you want to answer that Jamie's question, Feel free. We'll read them out. Sticking with the inbox. So that's like typical what we get. This is, this is also what we get on a quite regular basis.

Hey guys, I love what you're doing in health and fitness.

Darren: 00:51:55

That's weird.

Mar: 00:51:56

If anyone could look at us right now, they know we are not involved in health and fitness whatsoever.

Paul: 00:52:00

Anyway, we are all ripped if you've only ever heard us.

Mar: 00:52:04

Are you open to honest feedback on why your show might not be growing as fast as you'd like? Even we get, we get a lot of these kind of emails. Even though your content is great. We've helped 500 plus podcasts grow, monetize.

The first step is identifying what's causing slow growth and then fixing it carries on. It carries on. You open to a free 15 minute demo call that breaks down how we're helping clients grow past. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Reply, yes, and I'll send you my calendar. And he's put, his name is blah blah blah. He's put head of client success at get more listeners.

Darren: 00:52:33

That kind of stuff makes me want to delete LinkedIn because they get posts like that.

Mar: 00:52:36

And then he's put, why is it free? The Internet's noisy. And this, this is my way of cutting through and delivering value first.

I mean the fact that he didn't even listen to a podcast and know what we're send. What would what we do here. I would not trust him with the future of this podcast. I'm growing the audience.

Darren: 00:52:49

Not at all.

Mar: 00:52:50

So that's like that was one. That's literally one email followed by the next. Yeah, that's what we get.

Paul: 00:52:55

Thank you for listening to our health and well being podcast.

Mar: 00:52:57

Yes. And the other thing we get is people asking to have guests on which we don't do. Guests never have in however long we've been doing this.

So that takes us into the question of the week and I've just decided I actually like that question. So I'm going to make that the question of the week. One act of five movies, rest of your life. Go.

Paul: 00:53:13

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Mar: 00:53:14

I think that's a good one. So we've already covered that. So this week's question of the week, if you could pick one actor or actress.

I don't know whether you call actor as everyone. I think it might should be.

Paul: 00:53:22

I think it's everyone though.

Mar: 00:53:23

Yeah, I think it should be pick one actor. Five movies for the rest of your life. Who's gonna be which movies. Okay, that takes us on to next week's movie, which is Time to spin the Wheel.

Paul: 00:53:34

Maybe I should have picked Rachel McAdams.

Mar: 00:53:36

Yes.

Darren: 00:53:36

Rachel McAdams is crazy, though. Versatile.

Paul: 00:53:39

Just some great films.

Darren: 00:53:40

Charlie's Theon would have been a good one. You get great range with that.

Paul: 00:53:44

There's one called Morning glory with Rachel McAdams.

Darren: 00:53:46

Yes, I bet there is. I haven't seen that. House of Thought would be another good one.

Mar: 00:53:51

Right, are we ready for this? Here we go. The time to spin the wheel. It is Hancock. Chosen by. Chosen by. Rob Hancock.

Darren: 00:54:05

Oh, nice.

Mar: 00:54:06

He was one of our cinema goers.

Darren: 00:54:08

Nice.

Paul: 00:54:09

Rob. You pick Hancock because your name is Rob Hancock.

Mar: 00:54:12

And how many times have you seen it?

Darren: 00:54:14

That's Will Smith, isn't it?

Paul: 00:54:16

And Charlie's who you just mentioned.

Darren: 00:54:18

Oh, nice.

Paul: 00:54:18

The run.

Mar: 00:54:19

I think I've seen it. I don't know if I might have seen bits of it. I'm not sure.

Paul: 00:54:23

I've seen a couple of times.

Mar: 00:54:25

You see it?

Darren: 00:54:25

Yeah, I think maybe when it came out, maybe I was working at the cinema.

Mar: 00:54:29

,: 2008

Darren: 00:54:31

Yeah, I was working at the same island. I think so.

Mar: 00:54:34

Yeah.

Darren: 00:54:34

I would have shown it.

Paul: 00:54:35

That's almost 20 years ago. That's terrible.

Mar: 00:54:37

Stop. So there we go. Next week's movie is Hancock. I look forward to that. This episode is officially over. This is Mark saying goodbye.

Darren: 00:54:44

This is Diana saying goodbye for now.

Paul: 00:54:46

We're all traveling through time together every day of our lives. All we can do is our best to relish this remarkable ride.

Darren: 00:54:53

That was like one of the Beatles doing that quote. That was. That was nice. It sound a bit like Scouse or something.

Paul: 00:55:00

Well, I was trying to be dramatic.
