This past weekend, my wife and I watched the movie "Safety Not Guaranteed". It's not a new movie (it's from 2012), but we hadn't seen it. I had heard about it before; it's based on a joke ad that someone placed in a magazine in 1997 about someone looking for someone to go back in time with him. Part of the ad text was "Safety not guaranteed", which is where the movie title comes from.

The movie: A local newspaper is trying to come up with ideas for a story, and someone mentions seeing an ad for someone looking for someone to go back in time with him, and he offers to find him and come back with a story about it. He brings 2 interns with him, and they end up finding where he lives. The newspaper employee approaches him about it, pretending to actually want to go with him, but the guy doesn't respond well to him, so he (newspaper guy) has one of his interns try instead, to pretend to want to go, gain his trust, and go along with it for the story. This actually works, and every day, the intern meets up with the guy to get ready and 'train' to go back in time; the guy also needs to find information and parts for his supposed time machine (while the newspaper crew people still question whether this guy is insane or not) Then, every evening, the newspaper crew meets up in their hotel room to share notes.

Side stories: The intern and the guy planning to go back in time start to fall for each other, and the newspaper employee reveals he went to this town to find and meet up with an old ex-girlfriend. Stuff ensues.

I don't want to give away the ending, but overall, we thought this was a fairly entertaining movie.

pretty good. Thanks for the tip!

Looks like Aubrey Plaza is in it so I think I would like it. I like her
'quirky' comedy...

On the list now.

They used The Reaper for that, but it was a great skit, back when SNL was still good.

SNL has had its periods of ups & downs. I haven't watched SNL in years though (since around 2015ish).

Fear the reaper and Godzilla are songs I will go out of my way to change the station channel, Definatley not a Blue Oyster Cult fan.
I'm not saying they're not good, I just never cared for them.
