Episode 14: Primer, Part 2
Finally it's blah blah blah smoking hot "Primer" episode blah blah blah way too long here you go. It's Part 2 of our double-wide episode on the technically proficient and complex "Primer."
Quick note: By now you'll have seen the "Part 2" up there in the headline. Ridiculously convoluted as "Primer" is known to be -- believe us when we say it's one of the movie's charms -- we wound up recording an insane, double-wide near 2.5 hours of episode for this one. As such, we've split Episode 14 into two parts, hopefully making it more digestible for you, our beloved listeners. Both episodes are live simultaneously, so if you're looking for Episode 14, Part 1, this is your link.
In this episode:
It's "Primer" Time
The Plot
The Narrator
The Machine and How It Works
Day One
Day Two and How All This Time Travel Nonsense Works
The One-Time Use Only Fallacy (That Isn't One)
