Thanks to everyone who's watched the film! I'm really proud to have made the first time-travel movie that makes complete sense.
When's the next one coming?😋 Can't you make it before time?
Like the pizza
“Makes Complete Sense” lol. The final statement on time travel.
You should be proud, it was fantastic. Well written, well paced,, well acted, and every line was comedy gold!
This was Delightful!! Well Done!
Conceptually..as commercial insert to godzilla vs mothra at
dual catapillar crawl scene, what could go wrong? M.
"Too late."
Underrated line in a time travel show.
As if pulling up to the warehouse was the point of no return! 😆
Very possibly the best line in the video.
LMAO so true.
@@SmijinGT , it's like in Harrold and Kumar go to Whitecastle when he forgets something in his apartment, but having walked like 5 steps out the door, 'too late. I can't go back now'. And of course, it's obvious to us that he should have gone back.
"I killed my former self. That way I don't exist..."
"The perfect crime"
hmm, former? u dont exist ... full stop, let alone quote " i killed my former self?"
I guess paradoxes don't exist in the future
@@goodnamesareallgone1 but that hapend in the past
@@hakimESC guess paradoxes wount exist in the past then
@@hakimESC it was just our own perception, exactly. Of course human perception (to our own understanding of the concepts of paradoxes)exists in the past. It will in the future as long as one of the organisms on earth as a whole has the power to question or to have any processing of a concept that sounds broken.. we do not know if paradoxes exist in the future. But also we wont but who knows how long it will take 😂 this is where I stick with spirituality so I have SOME type of morality for the averagely respectful ones in society and I wish it was vice versa as a whole (the respect part)
for those who rush to the comments to see if it’s worth your time?
it’s worth your time.
This checks out!
Thank you
Exactly!
No, no it’s not. I want that time back please.. kinda stupid and corny
@@Jillysmom63 it's a shame you've never developed a sense of humour.
"YOU CAN DO THIS. BE THE YOU YOU'VE NEVER BEEN. I MEAN ME. BE YOU. US. BE WEEEEE."
Glad someone else enjoys my favorite line.
I loved that line😂😂
This should be a full length movie.
This actor is mad max
check out future man on hulu
@@jeremy9256824Or, ya know, WWE, AEW, TNA or Lucha Underground. Or try the movie he made himself, Boone: The Bounty Hunter.
Present Him: I'm normally anti-gun. Do you know how many accidental gun deaths there are each year?
Future Him: No. How about on purpose then?
😆👍
I actually do know how many accidental gun deaths there are In the United States each year: Fewer than 500.
@@unnamed_channel Are you seriously saying that ALL of the other 35,000 or so were deliberate? Even the ones where the shooter was a toddler?
@@henrywhite2984 Yes, that's what I'm saying, except that when the shooter is a toddler that's included in the 500. My source? Direct from the CDC website. National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 68, No. 9, June 24, 2019. Table 6 (page 35). And I quote: "Number of deaths from selected causes, by age: United States, 2017 Accidental discharge of firearms: All Ages: 486." Yep. Four Hundred and eighty six. That's not a typo. That's not per 100,000. That's not children under 5. If you are now wondering why you were so misinformed, perhaps it would be a good time to think about who has been responsible for misleading you and what else they have probably been lying about when it comes to firearm statistics, policy, and law.
Other figures from the same chart for comparison. Falls: 36,338. Accidental poisonings: 64,795. Motor vehicle accidents: 40,231.
@@johnconroy3078 Favorably. :)
I love how the two future characters look like two steroid surfers...
Steroid Surfers was the alternate title.
Dolph Ziggler (guy in red) is natty/natural (no juice). John Hennigan/Morrison was popped by WWE for violating the wellness policy years ago but I don't think he's natural now either. Way too ripped and vascular... TRT is my guess IMO. No way in hell he can be that ripped naturally lmao
Stem Cells.
I think this is the first short on Dust with a beginning, a middle and an end. Perfectly fits the title
My writing partner and I are both screenwriting professors, so it's hard for us to ignore structure! haha
@@SmijinGT Insert over-officious, curmudgeonly and thoroughly unmeant comment about time paradoxes here. ;)
Don't you mean a middle, beginning and an ending? ;)
@@SmijinGT (Seriously, I used to edit novels for publishing houses, so I also noted the cavalier attitude toward storytelling. All in fun.)
@@cpuwrite Hehe, so many paradoxes!!! :)
_(DISCLAIMER: This film has no affiliation whatsoever with LoJack®)_
One day I'll achieve my dream of making official branded content for LoJack! haha
LoJack Baby ;-)
*or does it?*
"He died tomorrow." lawl
but what tomorrow?
@@MinhNguyenTao 🤯🤯🤯
If he wasn't at the wedding, why mentioned him at all??? Hahaha
Because the dude who "dies tomorrow" is Dolph Ziggler's character. He killed himself tomorrow. ;)
I was rollin on that one and “An elephant never forgets”
Just my brand: Sci-fi action comedy meets WWE with an 80s Vibe! Hilarious.
in some point bro
at some point
Hey wait! That's my brand too! :P
8:36 “we told me so”
9:56 “guess i finally learned how to do things by the book”
Hilarious quotes... “i killed my self so i don’t exist - the perfect crime “ lol
John Morrison!!!
So many great quotes, but "forks to be you" takes the pie
Elephants never forgets
...uh..."Take's the CAKE"....pie is soo 2035
They knew we were all expecting Fork You but switched it up
Forks will always take the pie...unless you use a spoon.......
Best line in this:
“Hey, kid. When you get to 2055, look me up.”
“That’s not how that works.”
This is Amazing. Love the humor in it. Mocking the 80's genre of action movies while still doing good fight scenes and having a quickly evolving plot. Magnifique!
‘I hate you! I never want to see you again!’
‘Good luck avoiding mirrors for the rest of your life then kid’
"do you know how many accidental deaths guns cause every year?"
"No, how about on purpose deaths?"
Hahaha
StemCells.
This is one of the best in a while and it needs continuation... or regression... or whatever...
Hahaha--laughed out loud, you got me. And we are all in on a sequel prequel samequel!
@@SmijinGT Speed of Time 2 Electric Boogaloo Who Knew You Do in 4D
Grinned like an idiot for most of it but burst out laughing at Cpt Badgetaker.
Every good cop movie needs a Cpt Badgetaker! haha
"How about on-purpose deaths?" Hilarious! This little movie is a gem. It needs a series!
“ I finally learned how to do things by the book” lololol
"An elephant never forgets!" - WHAT?!?! Of all the crazy lines in this thing, this one just flat-out takes the cake. Well done, and bravo! I enjoyed this immensely.
Surely it was a reference to something that we just didn't see. It's like when he said, "finally I learned to go by the book". His previous self didn't know about the fork scene; so, it only kind of made sense.
It's a reference to when his younger self calls him a giant elephant-man :)
That line actually made me think of an old data storage company by the name of "Elephant Memory Systems", and that was their slogan: "Elephant Never Forgets".
FINALLY, a sifi short film that makes sense to the viewer as well as the film producer. It's amusing, entertaining, and slightly provocative.
This is fantastic!
Your interview brought me here...
FANTASTIC!!!!!
You're fantastic!
Hadn't seen the interview yet, with with one ?
I paused the interview to come watch this. Now back to the interview.
I already watched it like 27 times and i keep telling everyone about how awesome this is!! We definitely need more Johnny Killfire
Bruh, calm down
John Morrison was actually charismatic.
@Jason Thompson Oh really? How much have you made as a professional movie critic? Or even better, where I can I read some of those reviews of yours?
Melinda Green oh really? How much have you made with useless insults on the internet? Oh right nothing.
@@darkxiro I've made exactly as much as
@Jason Thompson made from his entire career as a movie critic until he so cowardly deleted his comment.
The sense of humor in this short is amazing I had a good laugh
The Speed of Time, where every cliche' in the book meets honest entertainment. Masterpiece!
That's what I'm talking about! Funny, light, keeps viewer hooked all time. Good job. We need a break from over philosophical stuff once in a while.
Yaaaay! This comment makes me so happy! Definitely aiming for some not-highbrow brain bleach haha
Too much fun, watched it twice to get the multiple layers of sight gags and shtick! Make more please, Mr. Stribling and company.
Fine, but only because you told me to!
That was so much fun! It was like an entire 1980's era Sci-Fi film was compressed into just 13 minutes. Well done! :)
I loved this short film!
Whoever's the director needs to make one of these ever month or so.
I'm exhausted just thinking about the prospect of that... But I'm glad you liked the film!
@@williamstribling2534 You can do it, Will! Where there's a Will, there's a way...
William Stribling 2 hours of entertainment squeezed into 12 minutes, I can imagine. Well done 👏, but you’re going to start yesterday
@@williamstribling2534 No, thank you bud, Really Fun to Watch!
@@williamstribling2534 ,Bro ,I really enjoyed this short film bro.Well done.
One of my all-time favorite film lines - an epic delivery by the younger John, towards the end - after 'Killfire' asks him to "look (him) up in 2055," and John replies, in quiet-but-obvious exasperation - "It's not how that works." Plus, all the blood splatters on him. And: stem cells. And: so much more: this film is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time, and a masterpiece of narrative and comic economy.
Dolph Ziggler = best time traveling bounty Hunter ever
Couldn't agree more. And anyone who says otherwise will be hunted
Thought he looked familiar. Now I don't have to look anything up.
@UCcnuVO9qqthKiBN8MdjqkGA John Morrison is killfire I'm talking about Ziggler as bounty Hunter
This has to be one if the best shorts have EVER seen!!! Felt like a full movie in 13 and half minutes. PLEASE who ever came up with this short MAKE MORE ASAP!!!!
I'm trying! I'm trying! Just give me a minute!!!
@@TheTazzietiger Thanks! I'll sure try.
That was pure gold. Kinda like an 80s throwback sci-fi, but better. This is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.
DUST, my dear friend, please oh please give us full-sized credits so we can appreciate the efforts of all involved in making these films. Oh, slick flick by the way.
DUST we the fans need more of this kind of short film
The is needs to be a full-length 1 hour and 20 minute film.
Very Entertaining just the right amount of SyFy and humor to keep me watching.
All about that delicate balance!
Found this gem in my recommended 35 years from now
"English..."
"That IS English" lol
That is me when my friends talk computer
Johnny Killfire (John Hennigan) my new hero. We must have more of this. This is awesome.
He will protect us all! Well, except for his younger self...
The levels of absurdity are colossal. Loved it
That's what this century needs, much more 1980s in it.
I don't see any John Morrison fans here! EDIT: Ziggler too!? What is happening? Why is this so much better than what WWE serves on Monday and Friday nights?
WWE (UN)Creative and (MIS)Booking, of course.
Yeah wwe if was more silly and less about wrestling, it would be better. If all the characters were even more unbelievable and had these kinds of lines that were even more Vince-ish, wwe would totally be better.
The problem with wwe is that there isn’t more super kicking forks into people’s head or more time travel.
@@lebeaumuni6247 well, all I want when I tune in on Monday nights (or Tuesday morning if you will) is to be entertained. Dolph and Morrison have so much potential as actors / entertainers in the wrestling industry but they are so underutilized. Same with Miz. His IC reign was one of the best. You can't just blindly follow a program because it is nostalgic, I know I can't. Look at the crap they served with Rusev and Lana and Lashley storyline, and now the stupidity with retribution.
This needs to be a series on Netflix.
I really like the sci-fi and humor mix in general, and even more when the film makes fun of itself. The 80's action and sci-fi movies vibe fits perfectly. It reminds me a bit of the vibe in Future Man TV show. I love the film's nod to Back to the future (a bulletproof book in place of a saving letter) while it does not reproduce its "temporal" errors and prides itself on it. A great piece! Congratulations.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment! Glad you appreciated our crazy little film.
So many of these would have made perfect movies. I know I repeat myself, but LOL.
Really fun, turns every tired time-travel trope on it's head. I love to see genre satires done by people who obviously love the genre.
Genuinely funny! The government strapping nukes to Pizza's was genius. Shame it was only 13 minutes, so much potential for a full film.
"Explain it to me like I'm 7", LMAO, This was a Fantastic Ride!!
I Lol'd when he said, holding a pillow, "great minds think alike."
An entire short story made out of one liners 1990s style.
Absolutely fantastic. You have to love a time travel film that actually makes fun of itself.
Brilliantly executed.
Bravo 👏
Now i know what "Back to the Future" is missing, a Canadian Destroyer. I guess that makes this the best Time travelling Movie ever. Loved it.
I knew the Canadian Destroy would give us the edge!!! :P
Please keep the story rolling on with all the same cast!!!
this is like someone took a bunch of 80s 90s action movies and squeezed them into 13 minutes of madness. i love it.
This has so many plot holes, someone jumped through one to go back in time and made this movie
The greatest plot hole of all is how we ever got someone to agree to fund it!
Who the hell cares. Was so much fun packed in a few minutes!
John Morrison
"look me up"...."that's not how that works" LOLOLOL
He just wants to be buds! (well, right before he changes his mind and murders him haha)
John killfire is my new hero, his quips are on point 👌 'it forks to be you '
this was an excellent film. should make a full length movie out of it. i loved the way John Morrison acted.
"Start over... rebuild... or go find that stipper maybe... or don't.... or maybe.." lolololol
OK this is the BEST Dust movie EVERRRRR! I think it’s because so many of them take themselves too seriously.
What do you mean? This is the most serious thing I've ever written! 😂😂😂
as i almost got tired of time travel shorts, this one is fresh breeze. thanks
If I have only 13 minutes to live, ... I will have the best time of my life, watching this film!^^
Just AWESOME!!! Everything about this is GREAT!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁
Had to pause Morrison's interview with Chris Van Vliet to come watch this. Amazing and hilarious. Instant classic and one of those I'll return to again and again. Starting right now. Cause there has to be a bunch of little things I missed. Hats off to all involved.
Thanks a million for the kind words. Glad people are digging the film.
Hahah so did I!!
This needs watching more than once....Here I go.
Excellent! Better than anything Hollywood has put out in 20 years!
I'm going to have to watch this again so that I'm not dying of laughter XD
Yeah! We don't want any murder charges on our hands! :P
Well, that was just plain silly and very entertaining!
Good, old-fashioned, fun, funny see it coming from a mile away, slapdash Sci-fi. It harkens back to Howard Chaykin’s American Flagg!
I love a good old-fashioned. Wait, that's not what we were talking about, is it? Uh oh, the writerly love of alcohol is creeping in! But in all seriousness, glad you enjoyed! :)
Just watch it! You will not regret it! 5 Stars!
I love it still. 2 years old now, why doesn't it have more views?
Absolutely love this, thank you everyone for making this
Thank you for commenting! Also for showing me that there are other gamer chefs out there. My people! :)
@@SmijinGT I'm hoping to get off the ground one day and make things for people to enjoy, just like this film. Once again thank you for making this, really put a smile on my face!

Oh, I'm so happy that Dust is featuring comedies now.
Fantastic film, 15 engaging funny irreverent retro minutes and better than most Hollywood 2hrs of drivel
Fun, quirky, entertaining with a late 80's vibe. Awesome!
Finally, a time travel flic with zero plot holes , a keen grasp of quantum physics and well though out explanation of how to absolutely avoid any chance of a time paradox!!
How was quantum physics grasped here? It's great as sci-fi goes, and I don't expect sci in my sci-fi, but I'm not seeing what you're seeing.
Johhny Atkins and Carla from the goldbergs getting into some time hijinks lol loved it!!
The pairing the world was clamoring for! haha
Happy to see some Goldbergs fans showing up!
Very funny and intelligent.
Cant stop laughing
Please make a whole Film from this!
These are the words I've been dying to hear my whole life!!!
Here on Feb 15th,2021. This felt like a blast from the 1980's...WELL DONE!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Only one complaint...was NOT long enough.
Managed to use time travel to jump OUT of the shark. Well done!!
No shark can hold me!!!
This seems like the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and doctor who on crack had a child

I like this movie. Watched the premiere in 2044.
Very good sci- Fi short film:” The Speed of Time” is sounding like Time Traveling. I like it at best.
For being a little over 12 minutes long, this movie was ridiculously entertaining. Well done!
I think this is my favourite Dust episode.
One of the best Dust films I've seen. Witty, inventive, bizarre. Pizzas within pizzas.
What day?!
What month?!
What year??!?!
Lmao 🤣 💀
11:46 was comedic genius. lmfao!
Excellent pratfall. Hilarious impact noise.
Love some good clean slapstick.
So much fun,, thanks. There is really not much better to spend 13 hilarious minutes then this short - gorgeous and thanks for producing this gem!
