Episode 56: Timeline (2003)

Today we’re reviewing Timeline (2003), based on a Michael Crichton novel of the same name, in which archaeology and physics team up for wacky time travel shenanigans. Unfortunately we don’t know much about medieval France, but we do love our time travel movies. Except this one. This one is a stinker.
