If you are a member if INSITE, apologies for our critique of this film as a Time Travel Movie. We are genuinely curious about your fan club and especially your Grand Hotel Shenanigans. While this movie had its flaws in our estimation, cult like dedication to a film is something we can all get behind.

Strap in for a journey through the heartstrings and the space-time continuum in this emotionally charged episode of "Time Pop: The Time Travel Movie Podcast." We're diving into the 1980 romantic drama, "Somewhere in Time," where Christopher Reeve's quest for love transcends the bounds of time itself. ?️?

Join us as we unravel a tale of hypnotic time travel, star-crossed lovers, and the enduring question of whether a pocket watch can truly loop through eternity. We witness Richard Collier (Reeve) fall for a portrait of Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) and hypnotize himself back to 1912 in a desperate bid to turn fiction into reality. But is this love story a timeless classic or a period piece that's lost its luster?

From the perplexing paradoxes to the sweat-drenched attempts at time-hopping, we dissect the mechanics of self-hypnosis as a means of temporal travel and ponder the missed opportunities for a deeper dive into the time travel lore. ?

Despite its cult following and an annual pilgrimage of fans to the Grand Hotel, we ask the hard question: Does "Somewhere in Time" stand the test of time? And for those who've ever contemplated the lengths they'd go for love, we explore the romantic and tragic implications of a love that's both boundless and bound by time. 

Prepare for a mix of critique, nostalgia, and a touch of the fantastical as we explore the highs, the lows, and the timeless (or time-lost) escapades of "Somewhere in Time." It's a time travel debate that might just have you questioning the power of a penny from the future. ??
