An irreverent glance at the film and TV of yesterday. Does the entertainment of our youth still hold up today, or have we changed too much? Two old friends, Paul and Colin, laugh, argue, criticize and occasionally remember that they’re doing a movie podcast.

In this episode we leap into Quantum Leap, a scifi, time travel series that ran from 1989 to 1993. The series followed the exploits of Dr. Sam Beckett as he leaps into different people in different times, trying to put right what once had gone wrong. Throughout his missions he's assisted by Al, who appears as a hologram and can only be seen by Sam.
Music from Quantum Leap by Mike Post
