Summary

Some people think space is the final frontier, but those people are wrong. It's actually time travel! Space, we've been there. But time travel has only happened in fiction. Still, just the thought of the possibility of rewriting the past is one we can't seem to shake, as evidenced by the movies that Hollywood continues to make about time travel — over and over and over again.

Guests: Actor/comedian/writer Fortune Feimster ("FUBAR," "The Mindy Project"); writer Dana Fox ("Wicked," "Cruella"); and writer Abdullah Saeed ("Deli Boys," "Bong Appétit").

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler.
