They dive deep into the major plot points and themes of the top of the bellcurve - that's a movie - movie '2067'. They touch on the time travel element, the concept of fate, and the implications of changing the past. They also critique the scripting and plot execution of the film. Overall, they rate the science in the movie as a 2.5 out of 5 and the film itself as a 2.25 out of 5.

Join Emily and Neil as we finish out the early 2000s classic Saturday-afternoon-with-the-family-movie Spy Kids! We kept it a little on the shorter side this time, but we don't spare the details of the film in the recap. Honestly though, what a good movie.
