This week, we reverse-engineer a review out of the 2003 movie, "Paycheck." This is a story of a Ben Affleck character having three years of his memory erased only to discover he has forfeited the huge paycheck for a job and has left himself 20 clues to stopping a major, future catastrophe.

- Which Geek gets a bunch of jabs against the movie in early?

- Which Geek considers this one of his favorite movies?

- Which Geek is somewhere in the middle, considering this movie a quarter-life crisis for its star.

- Which Geek(s) were okay with this movie's brief technobabble explanation for how to see into the future, and which Geek(s) were not.

- How did this review lead to references to "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame"?

- What similarities does this movie have to a story from "Batman" comics?

- Which Geek had barely anything good to say about this movie, and did that mean that he hated it or not?

- What were the Geeks' varying opinions about the chemistry between Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman?

- Which Geek had a nitpick about the power consumption required for a future-viewing device (and is it the Geek you'd expect to nitpick about that)?

- What aspect about his love for science fiction did one Geek site as one of this reasons for loving this movie?

- What about one Geek's time in hospitals led him to have special insight into the technology in this movie that allows someone to forget a large chunk of time?

- What topic led one Geek to reference this podcast's infamously contentious review of "The Space Between Us"?

- Which Geek asks the question, "How wind-resistant is Ben Affleck" (though the more appropriate question would have been "How aerodynamic is Ben Affleck")?

- Which Geek loses his mind explaining a nitpick he has about the bottom of a birdcage in this movie?

- What were the Geeks' various ratings for this movie, and which Geek changed his score based on the scores given by the other two?

- And, what was randomly rolled to review in the near future?

Listen now for the answers to these and other time-bending questions as we examine the clues to..."Paycheck."
