Episode 484: Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (1977)

We continue Czechtember 2020 with a look at Jindrich Polak’s Tomorrow I Will Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (1977). From a script co-written by Milos Macourek, the film stars Petr Kostka as both Jan and Karel Bures, twin brothers, one of who has helped invent a rocket that allows people to travel through time. A group plans to rent out a rocket just for them and, rather than going back to do a little sport hunting in the time of the dinosaurs like Ray Bradbury’s A Sound of Thunder, they want to go back to 1944 and speak to one Adolf Hitler… Jim Donahue and Noel Thingvall join Mike to discuss the film while Jonathan Owen speaks about the strange history of the film's screening on the BBC.
