11.22.63 Bonus Episode 6: Time Loops
It’s like déjà vu all over again, as we traverse Time Loops!
This Bonus Episode of the 11.22.63 Podcast spirals beyond all temporal reason, as hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis plumb the time travel sub-genre that we love to experience over, and over, and over, and over, and over…
First up, the 1986 novel Replay, written by Ken Grimwood – which is about a man who dies in 1988 -- and wakes up as his younger self in 1963 -- and proceeds to cycle through that time period again and again. One of the 1963 segments even deals briefly with preventing the JFK assassination!
After that, we tackle the short story “12:01 P.M.” by Richard Lupoff, and the Academy Award-nominated short film it inspired -- which you can watch below! Again, it’s about a man who finds himself in a time loop, living the same hour over and over again. We also examine Lupoff’s follow-up stories “12:02 P.M.” and “12:03 P.M.” -- which expand the premise.
Then stick around as we discuss our personal favorite time loop stories. Yes, Groundhog Day is in there -- along with many of others!
And, as always, there are detours, tangents, and feedback aplenty. You’ll want to listen again, and again, and again, and again….
Watch the Academy Award Nominated Short Film “12:01 P.M.”
