134 Timey Wimey #14 Interstellar

Live from Master Closet Studios, you’re listening to the only podcast on the internet interacting with it’s own past: Noobs and the Whovian. This is the podcast that introduces a whole new generation to Doctor Who by watching an episode each week and discussing it from the perspective of a dad who’s seen it before, and two sons who haven’t. Except when we don’t, because this week we won’t! Welcome to episode 134, Timey Wimey #14 – Interstellar  This is the one where Matthew McConaughey films the saddest Lincoln commercial ever. But for real this is the one Matthew McConauham and Catwoman save the human race by traveling through time and space. Who’s responsible for this?! (Production Notes) Director – Christopher Nolan Memento, Inception, The Prestige, Dark Knight Trilogy, TenetHe likes telling stories in the wrong order… a lotWriters – Jonathan & Christopher NolanJonathan also worked on Memento, The Prestige, & Dark Knight Rises Where do I know that guy from? (Cast) Coop – Matthew McConaugheyThis movie gave us the saddest Lincoln commercial everNolan likes to reuse his actors!Professor Dr. Brand – Michael CaineAlfredProfessor in InceptionOther Dr. Brand – Anne HathawayCatwomanPrincess DiariesRomilly – David GyasiPlayed skinny prisoner in Dark Knight Rises (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Wait, what happened?! (Plot) Plot holes (Corbin has feelings)Typical non-linear story-telling of Nolan, it starts out with Murph as an old woman telling the story of her dad. What have we learned today? (Themes) Murphy’s law – anything that can go wrong, willCoop says “anything COULD happen”I can’t be your ghost right now. I need to exist. They chose me, you’re the one who showed them to me.It was you, you were my ghost.Wait, what? How’d she come to that conclusionDo not go gentle…Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night.What’s love got to do with it?!90 minutes into this very science-based story, all of sudden the answer is love?The needs of the many – it got loud here!Dr. Mann – this is not about my life, or Cooper’s life. This is about all mankind. There is a momentBOOOOOM! Is that how that works?! Time dilationSending information out of the black hole Random stuff we noticed “The moon landing was faked” is now the official position of US governmentWhen is this movie taking place?https://interstellarfilm.fandom.com/ says April 15th, 2067The lines in the dust didn’t seem to be long enough to give lat-long coordinates in binaryThey rely on CB radio instead of cellphonesIs there a single cellphone in the movie?Corbin – Coop kept wearing his wedding ring after his wife diedA giant sarcastic robot, what a great idea.But it’s at 90% honestyWhat’s your trust level at, TARS? Lower than your, apparently.Humor setting 75%. Confirmed. Self-destruct in 10, 9… make that 60%What you thought it would be just a hole?Miller’s planet – 1 hour = 7 years23 years, 4 months, 8 days = 8,529 days = 3 hours 20 minutesLots of questions online about this timelineThat docking sequence was like the longest scene in the film!49 minutes into the 2 hour 49 minute film, we got to spaceWe literally paused and said “ok, now that we’ve watched a show, we have a whole movie left!”They foreshadow the lieOld Murph was wearing the watch!I used to wonder why They didn’t send Coop back to Murph as a young woman. This time around, I realized that was the point behind him saying “This little maneuver is going to cost us about 55 years!” when sling shotting around Gargantua. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Time travel details: Method: Wormholes! And science… Or gravity… or love…  Rules Can you change the past?They didn’t bring us here to change the pastThey’re 5th dimensional beings, but they’re not bound by space and time. They’re not bound by it so they can’t interact with it. Paradoxes Bootstraps on bootstraps!Coop sent himself to the NASA facility after “they” sent the wormhole to save “themselves” They didn’t bring us at all, we brought ourselves Was it good? Was it a good story?  Tripp – Yes!Corbin – yesAustin – ab-so-flippin-lutely! Was it a good time travel story? Tripp – yes?Corbin – yesAustin – YES!
