Show Notes
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we explore two films about the unexpected consequences of changing the past.
First we discuss The Butterfly Effect (2004), the dark sci-fi thriller where a man repeatedly travels back in time to fix moments from his childhood — only to create increasingly chaotic alternate timelines.
Then we look at The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006), the acclaimed Japanese animated film about a teenager who discovers she can leap through time and gradually learns that every change she makes affects the future.
Together these films explore the central idea behind the time-travel genre: even the smallest change can reshape the entire timeline.
