They look just alive

Episode Notes

To celebrate the pseudo-release of Midnight Special, Dave decides to tackle a great recent science fiction flick, Looper.  But first, Britt joins us once again to talk about Looper, time travel, Star Wars and the MCU.  Then, Dave talks about potential in regards to psychology, and how we can measure it.  We close off the show with a new guest, Berook from the Cinemabun Podcast! We discuss Rian Johnson brilliance and then, of course, get really confused by time travel.  Listen up!

Affleck back to himself
