# 159 Primer: Science, Loops & Michael Headache

Sci-Fi Month continues, and things are getting complicated. This week, we’re diving into Shane Carruth’s low-budget, brain-bending masterpiece Primer, with our very own Sci-Fi Expert Michael Head guiding us through the timelines (and paradoxes). We talk about how Carruth crafted one of the most realistic takes on time travel ever put to screen, the beauty of DIY filmmaking, and why Primer still stumps audiences 20 years later. It’s science, it’s storytelling, it’s confusion—and we love every second of it.
