Groundhog Day (1993) & Edge of Tomorrow (2014): Stuck in a Time Loop

from Journey Through Sci-Fi: A Science Fiction Film Podcast

"Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today" In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we explore the fascinating concept of the time loop. First we discuss Groundhog Day (1993), the classic comedy about a man trapped reliving the same day again and again. Then we look at Edge of Tomorrow (2014), the sci-fi action film where a soldier fighting an alien invasion discovers that every time he dies the day resets, giving him another chance to change the outcome. Together these films show how one of science fiction's most inventive ideas — the repeating timeline — can be used to tell very different kinds of stories. Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time. Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult favourites and the ideas that shaped the genre.
