Summary
Shane Carruth and his buddy build a time machine for $7,000 in a time when such things were possible. Joe & Adam reflect on Primer, a great or unnecessarily complicated film depending on who you ask. Primer was a darling of Independent cinema in 2004, and holds a place in the hearts of many hard sci-fi fans. This episode includes a discussion about time travel, and a series of impersonations of Hugo Weaving as the Agent from The Matrix.
