Journey Through Sci-Fi

"Are You Telling Me You Built A Time Machine...Out Of A DeLorean?”

In this episode, we're all about inventors and their time machines, diving into Back to the Future (1985) and The Time Machine (1960). These films show off the genius (and sometimes the madness) of inventors like Doc Brown and H.G. Wells' Time Traveler, who push the limits of what’s possible by creating machines that mess with time itself. What sparks the idea to build something that can rewrite history?

Join us as we chat about these legendary time machines and the wild minds behind them.
