Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

ANDREW HEATON
About this episode

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a scrappy sci-fi story about time travel, causality, and whether humanity can be trusted with knowledge of its own future. Henrique Couto returns to unpack the film's big philosophical swings about fate, free will, technological hubris, and the temptation to "fix" history, while also asking the important questions: how much should a time-travel movie explain, when do paradoxes stop mattering, and which character would absolutely destroy the timeline within minutes of getting access to the machine?
