In this episode, we discuss accelerating the timeline as a storytelling method, the idea that Cage’s memory is his superpower, our personal chances at surviving a time loop.
Once again we talk about Aliens, but Eppy does a good job of linking the lineage of Aliens to video games to Edge of Tomorrow. And somehow we wrap It’s a Wonderful Life into it as well.

called Time and Temp and an un-named project in the works from his
wife, also a successful indie game designer, Emily Care Boss
