EP114 War Games (1984) Review

This week on Movie Time Machine, the crew looks back at Tim Burton’s 1999 gothic mystery, Sleepy Hollow. We discuss the film’s atmosphere, performances, and signature Burton style while asking the question: Did Johnny Depp get weird first, or was it Tim Burton?We also talk about Christopher Walken’s memorable appearance, Christina Ricci’s career from Casper to Wednesday to Yellowjackets, and how Sleepy Hollow blends classic horror with Burton’s dark imagination.Music:Cliff Side by Silent PartnerSpace Navigator by Sarah the Instrumentalist

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in the summer of 1998 the world is in danger as a Texas sized asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. NASA has one last hope: send up a crew of roughneck oil drillers and hope Michael Bay edits fast enough to save humanity. The MTM crew straps in for liftoff, as Chad wonders if he is actually rooting for the asteroid, James revisits his fond memories of 1998 summer blockbusters while admitting this one is fun but bad, and Jamie pops into the pod halfway through which feels fitting since he only finished half the movie.Join us as we dig into Bayhem logic, the cheesiest one liners, Bruce Willis’s sacrificial dad arc, and the Aerosmith ballad that might have outlived the movie itself. We will laugh, cringe, and debate if Armageddon deserves its place as the biggest box office hit of 1998 or if the asteroid should have just wiped us all out.

Jamie mediates the debate as the group delves into the film’s suspenseful storytelling, themes of faith, and those unforgettable alien encounters. Whether you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between, this episode is sure to spark some Signs-inspired conversation. Tune in for all the hot takes!
