This week we are discussing Rian Johnson's 2012 film Looper, a time travel movie that (perhaps accurately) predicts a bleak future where class stratification and rampant criminality have flourished unchecked. Time travel has been invented and its primary use seems to be the elimination of hit men who are sent back in time to be murdered by their younger selves. We get into some of the problems with this premise while also praising aspects of the world building; while we didn't love the picture, we had a good time pointing out its flaws.

We open the episode by discussing the ongoing problems at Newark Liberty Airport before segueing into a discussion of Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal, which Stu is willing to defend and which Michael is willing to attack. We also make reference to the New Jersey drones phenomenon...whatever happened with all that?
