Edge of Tomorrow Versus the World

September 13, 2014 By Teague Chrystie 9 Comments

You might remember an op-ed I published a few days ago in defense of Edge of Tomorrow‘s title. As I expected, not everyone agreed with me. In fact, my friend and podcasting veteran Teague Chrystie from Friends in your Head was so emphatic about his disagreement that he suggested we record a short podcast about the issue. You can listen to the result below.

Our conversation starts with a breakdown of Edge of Tomorrow as a title. Teague’s offer his theory on why it doesn’t work and I defend its merits. The discussion then branches into a larger back and forth about Edge of Tomorrow‘s marketing woes, Tom Cruise’s bankability as a star and the effect that titles have on box office performance. We also delve into science fiction movies and how they’ve been named over the past few decades.
