Love Wedding Repeat (2020)

Published: May 12, 2021, noon

Well, we have failed you time sluts. This movie is described as Jack going through alternate timelines to give his sister the perfect wedding. Sounds like time travel, no? Reviewers described this as a time travel movie, it is on lists of time travel romcoms, Helena Farhi, time travel EXPERT, saw it before we even began this podcast and was like, yes, this is time travel movie. AND YET. No one in the movie time travels...except I guess maybe the omniscient Judi-Dench sounding narrator that is not actually a character in the movie. In this movie, alternate timelines is used as a plot device, but there is not a character who time travels, and that is our litmus test, and we have failed it, but we still soldiered on with this episode because we soldiered through this movie and we had THOUGHTS. So don't worry, this episode is still chock-full of THOUGHTS, and a lot of questions about these alternate timelines that this movie does NOT answer. Also, if you make it all the way to the very end, you'll be rewarded with us sounding maybe the dumbest we've ever sounded? Math is hard.
