Have I Got Something on My Face?: Edge of Tomorrow

All you need is kill baby! (Or Three, depending on who you’re asking)

Chase and Bryce discuss the film's impressive visual effects, intense action scenes, and thought-provoking themes about war, sacrifice, and redemption. They also delve into the performances of Cruise and Blunt, as well as the film's unique take on the time loop trope, and find out that they may even be stuck in a time loop of their own!

Throughout the episode, Chase and Bryce provide their trademark witty banter and entertaining insights, (especially Bryce’s, of which Chase is an open admirer) as they explore the nuances of Edge of Tomorrow and how it fits into the wider landscape of science-fiction cinema. So strap in and join The Movie Gap for a thrilling journey through time and space!
