WHAT HAPPENS IF IT ACTUALLY PODS?

This week, we loop back to the 2004 cult classic time travel drama from Shane Carruth, PRIMER. Famously shot for $7000 (we have some thoughts about that) and supposedly containing enough information to articulate its own plot (we have some more thoughts about that), the film is a taut, psychological thriller about the deterioration of a friendship, and we go back to interrogate its existence.

Did we understand this movie? Maybe? Did you? Why are you asking so many questions? Is it because this movie is so confusing? Is that your double standing behind you?
