If you could go back in time, would you change the past, even if it meant changing who you are? Is existing in time itself traumatic? Is power over time a cinematic endeavour, and what makes a good director an even better time traveller? This week on Acid Horizon we're joined by Kwasu D. Tembo to talk about his latest book Trauma in 21st-Century Time Travel Cinema, discussing the philosophy of time travel in films such as Primer, Timecrimes, and Predestination; as well as how the experience of time transcendentally conditions the structure of the psyche.

Boards of Canada are (finally) back! Craig is joined by author and music writer Jack Chuter and Boards of Canada archivist Tonx (Tony Konecny) to review Inferno, the long-awaited new record from Scottish electronic legends Boards of Canada. Together we unpack the album's dense thematic terrain: the figure of the child, religious hierarchy, memory, trauma, and the dissolution of linear time, while sharing their firsthand experiences of the Inferno Sessions listening events held in London, Los Angeles, and New York. Whether you're a longtime devotee of the Hexagon Sun or a newcomer algorithmically deposited into our space, this conversation is an invitation to sit with one of the most ambitious and rewarding records of the past decade.

How do we connect collective struggle with the search for justice? Adam is joined by historian Hazel Croft and theorist David Renton to discuss the concept of forgiveness and its strategic role in revolutionary struggles against structural and interpersonal harms. In doing so, we draw on our previous episode on the Comrade Delta scandal earlier this year, and the failure of Marxist organisations to develop new principles and procedures of justice and reparation. David's book "Revolutionary Forgiveness" out now via:
