2.2 Twelve Monkeys (1995) ”Dribble Me This”

Time Babble

This week, we’re babbling about Twelve Monkeys (1995), which was inspired by Chris Marker’s legendary short film La Jetée (1962), directed by Terry Gilliam, and stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt.

Apparently, it’s easy to get distracted by a monkey lowered down a well holding a beef sandwich, and Time Babble is no different. But the careful and/or loyal listener will also be rewarded with a deep dive into primate-based time travel, tales of unique Oscars categories, the first (of likely many) nods to the genius of Guy Maddin, faulty monkey calculations, and the finest dribbling this side of Hollywood.

Make sure you watch this one in HD to fully enjoy the hamster, and the bare botty back-scrubs.
