Greetings from the Time Babble Zeppelin!
This week we’re babbling about It Happened Tomorrow (1944), directed by René Clair, and starring Dick Powell, Linda Darnell and Jackie Oakie.
This terrific tale of tabloid-based time travel is a perfect example of the endless variety of this most generous of genres. Who would've thought that we’d find Time Babble HQ’s favourite, if most elusive, slang phrase (yes, we’ve all got ‘em) “23 Skidoo”, snuggled inside this warm, funny and charming comedy.
But have no fear, our loyal Babblers, for within a few minutes you'll be merrily chuckling along with us. Together we’ll discover: who really shot Abraham Lincoln, what the ‘Cad and his Dicks’ get up to on their boozy nights off; witness a serious amount of Police related bottom-kicking, and enjoy the first appearance of a cucumber in vaudeville. We also meet everyone’s favourite alley lurker, the sweet and also quite creepy, Pops..!
Time Babble Series Two, Episode Three is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and all good podcast services. If you can’t find it on your usual streaming service, please write in to the usual address.
