"If I could guarantee that you'd get away with it, would you kill him?"
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we explore two films that dive into the complicated world of time travel paradoxes.
First we discuss Timecop (1994), the sci-fi action film about a law-enforcement agency tasked with preventing criminals from altering the past.
Then we look at Predestination (2014), the mind-bending time-travel thriller about an agent trying to stop a terrorist — only to become caught in a complex causal loop involving his own identity.
Together these films explore one of science fiction's most fascinating ideas: what happens when the past, present and future begin to collapse into each other.
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult favourites and the ideas that shaped the genre.
