Prepare for a mind-bending journey through the labyrinth of time with "Time Pop: The Time Travel Movie Podcast." In this gripping episode, we delve into the chaotic world of "Paradox," a film that attempts to stitch together a narrative as complex as the fabric of time itself. 🔄

Join Des and Ari as they navigate the murky waters of a movie that's as ambitious as it is flawed. "Paradox," available on Netflix, is not your average time travel tale. It's a story of an underground lab, a time machine, and a series of events that spiral into a deadly hour where every minute counts. The experiment? To travel one hour into the future. The result? A gruesome scene of betrayal and a race against time to unravel the truth.

As our hosts dissect the film's attempt at a consistent causal loop, they confront paradoxes that leave more questions than answers. From questionable script choices to the perplexing motivations of its characters, "Paradox" serves as a puzzle that Des and Ari eagerly try to solve. With a plot that hinges on the existence of a single timeline, the film challenges the very notion of fate and free will. 🎭

But does "Paradox" manage to hold its own in the pantheon of time travel cinema, or does it fall victim to its own convoluted logic? Des finds some redeeming qualities in the film's portrayal of time travel, while Ari is less forgiving, citing numerous plot holes and a narrative that struggles to maintain coherence.

Whether you're a time travel aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion that might just leave you pondering the implications of your own timeline. 🤔
