162 - Predestination surprises no one

Episode Summary

This week, we're covering an obscure, low-budget sci-fi from 2014 that stars Ethan Hawke, who we love. The movie had its problems, but it inspired a lot of very interesting ideas. Thanks to Buddy Lindsey for the recommendation, and we hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did (even though that would be impossible).
