Even if you’ve never seen Somewhere in Time, CBY stands out as a touching show about grief and loss. Be prepared for deep convos that might make you cry, but you’ll feel better in the end.
Apple Podcasts5RobbieG1984United States5 years ago - Love to listen!

Apple Podcasts5staceygoursonUnited States5 years ago - Excellent podcast
My wife and I have been fans of this film since we first saw it almost 40 years ago. We are enjoying the podcast’s look back at the movie.
Apple Podcasts5dsramfamUnited States6 years ago - Where did the watch come from?
Saw this film and loved it (of course) my first year out of college. The girlfriend I saw this with thought it was sappy and the watch really messed with her mind so she dismissed it as sloppy. I definitely would not time travel back to see that chick.
Thanks for reminding me of this film. Now I need to go find it again.
Apple Podcasts5Yaw WayUnited States6 years ago - Lovely nostalgia
It’s joy to look back at everything and everyone that was effected by this film that touched so many in so many different ways!
