A comedy and film podcast exploring the wonderful world of time travel films in all their multi-dimensional glory. We love the unusual, the lost and the little known, avoiding the more obvious time travel choices. Although the occasional classic might slip through the net.
Every episode, we babble about a film that’s specifically about time travel, or that generally plays with the concept of time.
We get excited about the good bits, poke fun at the bad bits, and radically change the plot if we think it’s possible to improve the film. Sometimes we even get serious, and throw in the odd, ill-informed TED talk. Although we easily get distracted from the facts, and the conversation usually wanders way off topic.
We often end up loving the faulty films, and finding fault with films we love. Time Babble is as fickle as you are! We’re also duty bound by our cultural mandate to end each episode with POETRY, so do listen out for our internationally renowned, Nobel-awarded ‘Haiku or Limerick’ segment.
Lastly, whilst enjoyment is guaranteed, feedback is of course welcome. As long as it’s hastily scrawled on colourful notepaper and sent to our postal address. And doesn’t make us cry. As a wise rabbit once said, ‘If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all’.

5.4 The Butterfly Effect (2004) "The Bleakest Granola Bar"
This week we’re babbling about The Butterfly Effect (2004) starring Ashton Kutcher as a very, very troubled individual, with more suppressed trauma than you can shake a large stick at, but who unlocks the ultimate party trick: time travel via wibbly-wobbly journal reading.
Instead of using this power to, say, invest wisely in the stock market or prevent global disasters, Evan decides to fix his own messy past, one ridiculously awkward moment at a time.
Although every time he flaps his metaphorical butterfly wings, reality slaps him in his square-jawed fizzog with a new nightmare: Save the girl? Oops! Now she's a troubled waitress on skid row. Prevent a tragedy? Congrats! you're in jail.
Try it again? Sure! But now you're a double amputee with a bad haircut, surrounded by flaming dogs, exploding babies and a roommate to die for.
Within its first ten minutes the film goes to one of the darkest places in mainstream cinema that made Lars Von Trier leave the press screening, probably. It’s like Groundhog Day, but with 97% more emotional damage and one less marmot.
So, dear babbler, grab your umbilical cord and join us, as we flap our little pretty wings in our latest podcast.
