Time is the one thing no one can change, and it only flows in one direction. From moment to moment, we can only perceive the passage of time with the evidence of our senses. But as a new short film demonstrates, people, places, and shapes can bleed into each other in mesmerizing ways simply by speeding up or slowing down our perception of time.

Via Laughing Squid, artist and photographer Páraic McGloughlin has released Chase, an animated short film compiled from his personal photographs while offering a hypnotic look at everyday life. There is no plot or narrative to speak of, it just focuses on the way that everything blends together. Strangers literally walk in each others footsteps, and the city seems to live and breath as if it had a life of its own.

McGloughlin shot Chase in Ireland and Poland, and he described it as “a journey that explores ideas of decision, choice, consequence, circumstance and time among other things, a personal perception on how we try to find whatever it is we are searching for. The film looks at objects,people,and places which share common properties,our connection with one another and our environments in the very similar yet very different paths we share.”

It’s the Friday before Game of Thrones‘ season finale, the internet is up in arms (again) over the “correct” viewing order of the Star Wars movies, and James Cameron shared some opinions on Wonder Woman that did not go over well with anyone, so yeah, there was a lot to discuss on today’s Nerdist News Talks Back.

Nerdist senior editor and host of The Dan Cave Dan Casey filled in for host Jessica Chobot, and he was joined by managing editor Alicia Lutes, science editor Kyle Hill, and Mothership writer and the number one person alive rooting for Tormund and Brienne to make giant babies, Amy Vorpahl.

With this being the last episode of Nerdist News Talks Back before Game of Thrones‘ big season seven finale, the gang discussed what they think of this year so far and whether having fewer episodes has helped or hurt. And while not everyone might be okay with the relatively low death total of the season (so far), everyone definitely approves a beardless Tormund Giantsbane in real life.

From there they hit the hyperdrive on the never-ending debate that has popped up again, about what is the correct order to watch the Star Wars movies. Machete? Ring Theory? (:cough: 456-123-456-7 :cough:). But if you think that’s hard, where and how should you fit in Rogue One and Clone Wars before you do your big re-watch before The Last Jedi?

Finally it was time to address James Cameron’s comments that Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was actually a step back for women in Hollywood. Yeah, he really did say that. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has already brushed off that criticism, but did our panel think Cameron had a point? Can a woman be too beautiful to be a role model? Spoiler alert: we’re Team Jenkins on this one.
