In this timely episode, Jacob, Tate, and Sage dive into 2011's In Time, a sci-fi thriller where time is literally money. While the concept intrigued them, the execution left much to be desired. With a premise full of potential, the trio discusses how the movie’s ideas are overshadowed by its flawed storytelling and missed opportunities. Jacob feels the film had a solid foundation but couldn’t quite get it right, Tate thinks it could’ve been much more engaging, and Sage feels it ultimately falls short. Tune in for a conversation filled with disappointment, yet a healthy dose of appreciation for the film’s bold vision.
This movie was directed by Andrew Niccol.
