Phenomenal movie time-warp mystery!
Reviewed: 05-27-25
This was a great mystery story! The suspense and problem solving made it nearly impossible to stop listening. I couldn’t wait to get back and find out what happened next!
A reminder to be attentive to those we care about and about the powerful impact of love.

I enjoyed the story and time travel situation! It had interesting perspectives on what we take for granted in modern life. The ethical questions and decisions were thought provoking.

Story
Gaia is dying. That, at least, is what Dr. Lionel Scott believes. A renowned expert in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has witnessed the devastating impact of illness and turmoil at critical scale. Society as it exists is untenable, and the direct link to Earth’s death spiral; population levels are out of control and people have allowed disarray and disorder to run rampant. While most are concerned about deadly disease, Scott knows that it is truly humanity itself that will destroy Gaia.

I enjoyed the history of this world, the relationships between characters, and the characters themselves. I love a good “twist” and got it in this story. Looking forward to getting to know the cast even better!

Story
Kenan Thompson is Saturday Night Live’s longest-ever-serving cast member and a star of such pioneering sketches as “Black Jeopardy” and is hugely beloved thanks to a tidal wave of nostalgic fans who grew up on early 2000s classics All That, Good Burger, and Kenan & Kel on Nickelodeon. He’s also a dad (to two girls) in his mid-40s living in suburbia, and whose universal, relatable, family-friendly humor has created unbelievable appeal and engagement from fans from middle America to coastal elites. Becoming a dad sucked the cool right out of him—and he's OK with that!
