1.5 The Time Traveller’s Wife (2009) “An Abundance of Bottoms”

This week we’re babbling about The Time Traveller’s Wife (2009), which was directed by Robert Schwenke, and based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger. The film stars Eric ‘bare botty’ Bana and Rachel McAdams.

The Time Traveller’s Wife is unfathomably widely loved, but quite why is somewhat unclear, given the stench of male privilege on display, and the misogyny of the script. And that’s the least of its problems! 

But, dear listener, please do not be disheartened! As is tradition, Time Babble treat the film to both derision and hilarity in equal measure; ridiculing the decision of a wearing frilly shirt and hot pants while beating up a stranger in a dark alley, mistaking a particularly obvious plot point in an otherwise incoherent script and, of course, poking fun at Bana’s infamous ‘vasectomy waddle’. Enjoy!
