Terminator 2 (1991)
Dec 2500:04:12Tap to summarizeA naked cyborg drops out of a lightning storm carrying the weight of a future that hasn't happened yet. We break down the bootstrap paradox, Skynet's time displacement rules, and why T2 is secretly a philosophical argument about whether fate can be beaten.Producer and Mixed by Alexander GarayInstagram: Its_alexgarayA Time Field Collection Production

Dec 1900:05:29Tap to summarizeIn this episode:Einstein's General Relativity explained simply, Gargantua and extreme time dilation, the science behind Miller's planet, why Kip Thorne called it the most accurate black hole ever filmed, and how narrative turns physics into grief.Created and Mixed By: Alexander GarayInstagram: its_alexgarayProduced by Time Field Collective

Dec 1100:05:13Tap to summarizeTHE TIME FIELD | Episode 2: The Terminator (1984)Two naked men materialize in 1984 Los Angeles. One is a killing machine. The other is a soldier who crossed time knowing he can never return—all for a woman he's only seen in a photograph.Everyone remembers The Terminator as an action movie. It's actually a love story built on a physics paradox.In this episode:Why Kyle Reese's dramatic need isn't protection—it's connectionThe motel room scene that reframes the entire filmHow one-way time travel and living tissue requirements accidentally align with real physicsThe bootstrap paradox that makes the tragedy feel inevitableThe verdict: Medium scientific fidelity. Very high dramatic justification.James Cameron didn't just make an action classic. He made a film where the hero isn't fighting to change history—he's completing it. The loop was always closed. Kyle was always going to die. And that's what makes it genuinely tragic.The Time Field is a podcast exploring how time travel films balance real physics with narrative truth. Hosted by Alexander Gordon, creator of the sci-fi comic series Time Traveling Bear.Next Episode: Terminator 2: Judgment Day—same universe, same rules, completely different philosophy. What happens when Cameron decides the future can be changed?Created, Written and Mixed: Alexander GarayInstagram: @its_alexgaray

Dec 400:06:27Tap to summarizeTHE TIME FIELD | Episode 1: Back to the Future (1985)Doc Brown promised us 1.21 gigawatts and 88 miles per hour. But what do those numbers actually mean—and why don't we care that they're scientifically nonsense?In this premiere episode, I break down Back to the Future through two lenses: Syd Field's dramatic structure and real physics. What we find is a film that gets almost everything wrong about science and almost everything right about storytelling.In this episode:Why Marty's real journey isn't getting home—it's fixing his fatherThe accidental physics wisdom behind the DeLorean's velocity requirementHow the film dodges the grandfather paradox through emotional logicThe verdict: Low scientific fidelity. Perfect dramatic justification.The Time Field is a podcast exploring how time travel films balance real physics with narrative truth. Hosted by Alexander Gordon, creator of the sci-fi comic series Time Traveling Bear.Next Episode: The Terminator—what happens when a soldier crosses time knowing he can never return?Created, Written and Mixed: Alexander GarayInstagram: @its_alexgaray
