Back to the Timecop Future – 1985-1994 – ep 111

Old Millennials Remember Movies

Great Scott! It's a special time travel episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, with a special focus on the outrageous Jean-Claude Van Damme extravaganza, "Timecop" from 1994! Give your legs a stretch, because you might need to do the splits a few times during this episode. First up, Old Millennials Tyler and Angela discuss showing the "Back to the Future" trilogy to their kids. Since the 1985 "Back to the Future" is essentially a perfect movie, there's no real point in talking about it extensively. It's awesome, and you already know it's awesome. The sequels, however, are an interesting experience in 2021, especially when you're trying to explain to an 8-year-old all the double-Marty-folding-over-the-original-movie hijinks involved with "Back to the Future Part II." At some point, you just throw your hands up and say, "Look kids! Hoverboard chase!" Tyler and Angela then take a deep dive into "Timecop," a movie with some of the most convoluted time travel rules in movie history. First, you gotta take a ride in a "Space Mountain"-esque rocket car, then you travel to the past but the car doesn't, then you have a little device that can send you back to the present day (but not the future, because "the future hasn't happened yet"), then the rocket car comes back, then Ron Silver has a scar, JCVD has a mullet and... oh who cares? Van Damme does some high kicks. He shoulda been a Broadway dancer. So hop in the DeLorean, dodge the manure and enjoy the Old Millennials Remember Movies Time Travel Special! Just make sure to never let the same matter occupy the same space at the same time. It gets very gooey cartoony.
