13 Going on 30 (2004) and About Time (2013)

Published: Aug. 22, 2014, 3:48 a.m.

It's Rom-Chron time on Another Kind of Distance! Elise Moore and David Fiore confront the ecstasies and the banalities of quixotic, tick-tockic love amongst the comfortable classes.

On the menu this week: a glimpse of the ways in which the amnesia narrative and the time travel narrative proper become virtually indistinguishable; some discussion of the relationship between subjectivity and timelines; Schr\xf6dinger's Braces; and a lot of trash talk directed at Alain De Botton and Chuck Woolery.

Our films?

We start with Gary Winick's\xa013 Going on 30\xa0(2004), starring Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, and Andy Serkis.\xa0

Then we fall into the callow chasm that is Richard Curtis'\xa0About Time\xa0(2013). This one has Domhnall Gleeson, time travel vet Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, and Lydia Wilson.\xa0

We were going to do some listener feedback, but we decided that we ought to push that to the next episode, since this one is already well over 2.5 hours.\xa0

We would, however, like to take this opportunity to thank Siskoid\xa0for his encouragement and bloggish support!

In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact us, either at anotherkindofdistance@gmail.com, on our\xa0Facebook Page, our Twitter account (@TimeTravelFilms), or\xa0David's Tumblr\xa0(where you'll find a bunch of images).\xa0

We're now on all of the podcast delivery services, including iTunes, Stitcher, and TuneIn Radio so please rate/review us there, if you can!\xa0
