On this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, current Oscar nominee Adam Benzine (Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah) brings a most unexpected title into the basement.

He chose Primer, Shane Carruth’s 2004 Sundance sensation about a couple of engineers who invent a time machine, and proceed to ruin their lives with it. Adam’s reasons for picking the movie make a lot of sense once you hear them, and Primer gives us plenty of avenues to explore.

Whether you’re reading this today or in the unknown future, you can find the show via  iTunes or Stitcher, or directly from the SEMcast home page. And keep your fingers crossed for Adam on Sunday night. He’s got a pretty good shot at winning this, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
