S5 Ep6: Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

Time Pop: The Time Travel Movie Podcast

Prepare to loop back into the time-twisting world of collegiate chaos with Time Pop's latest episode, where we dive headfirst into the mind-bending sequel "Happy Death Day 2U"! 🎂🔁
In this episode, Desmond McNeese and Scott Lifton dissect the 2019 follow-up to the slasher-meets-Groundhog-Day hit that defies genre boundaries. Join us as we unravel the quantum conundrums and existential enigmas that Jessica Rothe's character, Tree, faces when she's flung into another dimension where the stakes are higher, the science is wonkier, and the deaths are... well, just as inventive. 🧬🔪
From the Sisyphean struggles with a quantum cooling reactor to the heart-wrenching decision between love and family, "Happy Death Day 2U" leaps from horror to sci-fi, with a sprinkle of comedy for good measure. We'll explore how this sequel manages to up the ante on the time loop trope, all while keeping us guessing who's behind the baby mask this time. 👶🎭
🎧 Bonus Content: We debate the merits of the film's deeper dive into the mechanics of its time loop and how it sets up (or doesn't) a potential third entry in the franchise. Plus, we share our thoughts on the film's balance of humor and horror, and whether it stands up to its predecessor.
