Goodnight Rita, A Groundhog Day Deep Dive - Episode 12
Source Code, directed by Duncan Jones in 2011, has become a touchstone science fiction time loop movie. But for many it's a divisive example, mostly to do with the ending. I got a LOT of requests to talk about Source Code, so I expanded my thoughts on the movie to consider how my own personal feelings about it have changed over the years. I love how you can revisit a film and find something new every time...
