Commissioned by listener Mark, this 1981 classic follows young Kevin as he\u2019s swept away by a crew of dimension-hopping bandits who\u2019ve stolen a map of the universe and are using it to rob history blind\u2014Napoleon, Robin Hood, and ancient kings all included. Gene and Big D debate whether the film is a brilliant kids\u2019 movie for adults or an unsettling fever dream wrapped in British absurdism. Along the way, they revisit the unforgettable Evil Genius, the Supreme Being\u2019s bureaucratic disappointment, and the ending that scarred an entire generation of children. Is Time Bandits a masterpiece of imagination or just Gilliam letting chaos do the directing? Grab your map, avoid the pure concentrated evil, and find out.
