848. Escape from the Multicurse: The Cloverfield Paradox
Added 2025-03-31 13:00:19 +0000 UTC
Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.
This week we discuss 2018’s The Cloverfield Paradox!

Comments
To try to answer Mike’s question about similarities between multiverses, I imagine it’s that the universes that are close enough to ours that they can bleed through are universes where almost every decision was made identically up until the point of the breach. My assumption is there are universes the farther we get from ours that are absurdly different. EEAAO and Rick and Morty experiment with this.
