"How likely I'll survive? Oh yeah, 100% if I were a rat"
This week we discuss time travel caused by experiments gone wrong. To delve into this theme we discuss the powerful Je t'aime, je t'aime (1968) directed by Alain Resnais and The Jacket (2005) starring Adrien Brody.
These films explore what happens when science pushes boundaries too far, with characters caught in nightmarish loops and twisted timelines. Whether it's a man reliving the past over and over or another trapped in a disturbing future, these movies show just how badly things can go when experiments don't go as planned...
Join us as we unravel these mind-bending stories of science backfiring in the most unexpected ways.

We dive into two films which both feature characters frozen in time, who awaken to very different worlds to the ones that they remember. This week we discuss Planet Of The Apes (1968) & Demolition Man (1993).
