The Geek Girl Soup crew dives into the mind-bending 2023 Japanese film “River,” the latest from director Junta Yamaguchi who also made the trippy time travel movie Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes.
In River, the guests and staff at a historic Kyoto hotel find themselves trapped in a recurring two-minute time loop. Susan, Kelly and Cort analyze the creative ways the characters deal with being stuck, from trying to solve the paradox to embracing the infinite redo for their personal agendas.
They discuss how River both follows and deviates from typical time loop tropes established in films like “Groundhog Day.” The gang also gets philosophical about alternate timelines, parallel universes, and time paradoxes.
Strap in for a fun, insightful conversation unpacking all the twists and turns of this unique sci-fi drama. Plus, hear about our recent concert experience seeing 1980s legends Adam Ant and The English Beat!
Next week: Seasons 1 and 2 of “Game of Thrones” for our May of Thrones series!
