If you are a member if INSITE, apologies for our critique of this film as a Time Travel Movie. We are genuinely curious about your fan club and especially your Grand Hotel Shenanigans. While this movie had its flaws in our estimation, cult like dedication to a film is something we can all get behind.

Strap in for a journey through the heartstrings and the space-time continuum in this emotionally charged episode of "Time Pop: The Time Travel Movie Podcast." We're diving into the 1980 romantic drama, "Somewhere in Time," where Christopher Reeve's quest for love transcends the bounds of time itself. 🕰️💔
Join us as we unravel a tale of hypnotic time travel, star-crossed lovers, and the enduring question of whether a pocket watch can truly loop through eternity. We witness Richard Collier (Reeve) fall for a portrait of Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) and hypnotize himself back to 1912 in a desperate bid to turn fiction into reality. But is this love story a timeless classic or a period piece that's lost its luster?
From the perplexing paradoxes to the sweat-drenched attempts at time-hopping, we dissect the mechanics of self-hypnosis as a means of temporal travel and ponder the missed opportunities for a deeper dive into the time travel lore. 🌀
Despite its cult following and an annual pilgrimage of fans to the Grand Hotel, we ask the hard question: Does "Somewhere in Time" stand the test of time? And for those who've ever contemplated the lengths they'd go for love, we explore the romantic and tragic implications of a love that's both boundless and bound by time.
Prepare for a mix of critique, nostalgia, and a touch of the fantastical as we explore the highs, the lows, and the timeless (or time-lost) escapades of "Somewhere in Time." It's a time travel debate that might just have you questioning the power of a penny from the future. 💑🚫
