A podcast so good that we went back in time to record it again… and again… and again!

This instalment of the Kill It With Fire – Cult Movies and Cult-ure podcast focuses on Shane Carruth’s minimalist 2004 science-fiction film Primer.

Topics discussed in this episode include: time travel in cinema; the use of language in the film; Carruth’s approach to narrative; ‘selling’ SF concepts such as time travel; developments in independent filmmaking during the 21st Century; the relationship between indie genre films and mainstream Hollyweird filmmaking.
