finally hits cinemas this Friday. We loved it so much we called it "This decade's Matrix ." Which it definitely, definitely is. It's also this decade's Terminator , Akira , and 12 Monkeys .

And we love Looper 's𓆏 director, Rian Johnson, even more than all of those things.

So, imagine oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚur excitement when we were scrolling through Reddit's recent AMA with Johnson and came across the following - glorious - quote.

When asked what TV show he'd love to guest-direct an episode of, he said: "What I'd really kill to try, although it would be terrifying because I'm such a big fan of it? Doctor Who ."

The director of Looper directing an episode of Doctor Who ?

You may well already know how we feel about that idea,🔯 because there's every chance you heard the sound of us bellowing: "Yes please, that would be very nice," at the top of our voices about five minutes ago.

The pairing would make complete sense - the current incarnation of Who mixes The Brothers Bloom's hipster quirk with Looper 's serious take on time travel SF, and Johnson's Breaking Bad 🧜 episode is still regarded as a firm fan favourite.

With Doctor Who 's 50th Anniversary around the corner, and , would it be too much to ask the BBC to tear up whatever plans they have for next year and just let these ෴two 🐈men do whatever they want for a season or ten?
