A comedy and film podcast exploring the wonderful world of time travel films in all their multi-dimensional glory. We love the unusual, the lost and the little known, avoiding the more obvious time travel choices. Although the occasional classic might slip through the net.
Every episode, we babble about a film that’s specifically about time travel, or that generally plays with the concept of time.
We get excited about the good bits, poke fun at the bad bits, and radically change the plot if we think it’s possible to improve the film. Sometimes we even get serious, and throw in the odd, ill-informed TED talk. Although we easily get distracted from the facts, and the conversation usually wanders way off topic.
We often end up loving the faulty films, and finding fault with films we love. Time Babble is as fickle as you are! We’re also duty bound by our cultural mandate to end each episode with POETRY, so do listen out for our internationally renowned, Nobel-awarded ‘Haiku or Limerick’ segment.
Lastly, whilst enjoyment is guaranteed, feedback is of course welcome. As long as it’s hastily scrawled on colourful notepaper and sent to our postal address. And doesn’t make us cry. As a wise rabbit once said, ‘If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all’.

Episode latest the to welcome and hello.
This week we’re babbling about the extraordinary Happy End (1967), a deliriously wonderful film, directed by Oldřich Lipský. It’s a delight from end to beginning, as we explore one man's journey from death/birth to birth/death.
Mostly dismissed as a throwaway piece of lightweight fluff on release, the film now stands shoulder to shoulder with its more arty brothers and sisters as an equally incredible example of the breadth of films that Czech cinema was producing at that time.
While not strictly a time travel film as such, Happy End more than generally messes about with the concept of time, as we follow hapless psychopath Mensik, from from the guillotine to the crib. Murdered brides are reanimated, food is stolen from a hippo's mouth, there’s more geese that we could count, and an uncomfortable amount of chewing.
It’s also the ultimate example of the unreliable narrator, as what we see, what Mensik actually does, and how he describes it, are quite often at polar opposites. Delightfully inventive and funny, it’s also a surprisingly uncomfortable watch, very much exploring the darker side of dark comedy…
Episode Four of Time Babble Series Four is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and other good podcast services.
