Be Reel

For as long as humanity has dreamt of traveling through time, it's also dreamt of time manipulation as a means of preventing terrorism, apprehending warlords in future dystopias and stopping your younger self from killing your older self. But don't take our word for it! This week, we watched a trio of "Fight Crime Through Time" movies, including Demolition Man (1993), Looper (2012) and Deja Vu (2006).  This episode's special guest is Justin Taylor, an acclaimed author and a Demolition Man fan from way back. He's the writer of Flings, The Gospel of Anarchy and Everything Here Is The Best Thing Ever. Follow Justin on Twitter at @my19thcentury and find his work at justindtaylor.net.  If you're looking to hop around the episode:  3:05 - Noah and Chance gives their opening genre remarks 10:45 - Justin Taylor on "Demolition Man"  33:40 - Overly ambitious "Looper" is discussed 49:55 - 17-year-old-Chance standby "Deja Vu" is revisited
