Henrique Couto and David Denoyer revisit Groundhog Day (1993), Harold Ramis’s time-loop comedy starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott and Stephen Tobolowsky. Murray plays cynical Pittsburgh weatherman Phil Connors, who travels to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, with producer Rita Hanson and cameraman Larry to cover the annual groundhog ceremony. A blizzard blocks their exit, the clock radio plays “I Got You Babe” again, and Phil discovers that February 2 will not end.
The hosts trace Phil’s movement from disbelief and selfish experimentation through seduction, theft, despair and repeated suicide attempts. His inability to save an unhoused older man becomes a turning point: instead of treating the loop as permission to exploit people, he learns piano, ice sculpture and emergency skills, listens to his neighbors and begins using perfect timing to help them. Rita responds only when Phil stops manufacturing compatibility and becomes someone capable of generosity without a promised reward.
Editing and visual storytelling drive the discussion. A heavy flip-clock image communicates dread without dialogue; rapidly improving piano lessons compress years of work; and repeated encounters with Ned Ryerson turn tiny variations into character development. Henrique and David connect the film’s comedy to a serious idea: every ordinary day contains chances to learn, love and pay attention, yet people often waste them. They also admire Murray’s gift for making a selfish character funny enough to follow and vulnerable enough to change.
Production history includes Danny Rubin’s screenplay, Ramis’s decision to let viewers witness the first loop and an abandoned ending in which Rita might repeat a day herself. The hosts discuss estimates ranging from roughly ten years to an initially imagined 10,000-year ordeal, the five-stages-of-grief framework and the family-friendly PG tone Ramis pursued. Although set in Punxsutawney, the movie was filmed largely in Woodstock, Illinois, where several locations still mark Phil’s puddle and Ned’s corner.
Both hosts call Groundhog Day a collection-worthy classic whose performances, pacing and emotional payoff remain rewarding even when every beat is familiar. Their broader conversation preserves Henrique’s terrible day, David’s early cable memories and recorded reviews of Flight Risk and Presence. Recommendations extend the loop with Happy Death Day, Palm Springs and Edge of Tomorrow.

Want?

17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.000

19
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:17.359
I heard?

20
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.519
Oh no, no, you absolutely do. I'm not arguing that.

21
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.079
One of my favorite books was a little, a little

22
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:28.879
in the hit called the Bible, No called Alexander's Terrible Horrible,

23
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.159
no good, very Bad Day. Yep, Wow, you did not

24
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.079
fully remember that, did you? You almost remember? Terrible horrible,

25
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:37.200
no good, very bad Day.

26
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.480
That's the title, terrible horrible, no good, very bad Day.

27
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.400
You know the no good, very bad Day as part? Yeah, Yeah,

28
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.120
you know why I remember that because there was a

29
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.680
song in the cartoon.

30
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.719
I don't even know there's a cartoon. I remember the

31
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:49.680
live action Dizzy.

32
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.079
I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

33
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:54.799
that just triggered something.

34
00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.840
Oh is hey, you are hard. I'm pretty sure we

35
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.480
had that. I think we watched that when I was like,

36
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:04.439
very very young.

37
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.920
But I loved the Disney the one with Steve Krell, right, Yeah,

38
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.879
it was excellent. It was good. No, I really enjoyed it.

39
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.159
But no, David, so I have been revamping our studio.

40
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.919
As people may or may not notice, this is the

41
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.479
only time I'm going to reference that fact. In fact,

42
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.960
we well, no, I meant it. I was gonna not

43
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.560
mention it at all, but then I realized that there's

44
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.680
no setup to what fucking happened. I mean, that's fair,

45
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.360
but I, in all of my infinite wisdom, and it

46
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.840
is infinite, I needed a few things to get the

47
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.800
space right. And occasionally you will find yourself feeling like

48
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.840
an elder millennial like me when you go to order

49
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.919
it on Amazon or whatever and they're like, we can't

50
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.400
get it to you till after six the next day,

51
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.919
and I'm like well we record after six yeah, barely.

52
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.000
So then I'd be like, okay, I guess I'll schlup

53
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:03.240
it to Walmart. So I order a desk chair from Walmart,

54
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.000
nice cheap. I needed a smaller one for me to

55
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.400
sit on because mine was too taking up too much space.

56
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.680
I go to Walmart this morning at about eleven because

57
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.560
I was like, hey, man, all I gotta do today

58
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.680
is record weekly, spooky. I gotta go to Walmart and

59
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.840
I gotta go to Guitar Center and pick up a

60
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.240
mic arm because going to Guitar Center costs it extra

61
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.919
ten bucks, but I could have it right now. Yeah

62
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:33.039
that's fair. So I get to Walmart, I check in

63
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:37.400
on the app. It's a pickup order. I sit there

64
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.039
and ten minutes goes by. So now I'm like, all right,

65
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.879
I'll try calling the number instead of just using the app.

66
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.879
It's busy. It's busy, so and I know these are

67
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.960
first world problems, but it piles up. So I wait

68
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.879
another five minutes. Nothing. I use the app's help thing,

69
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:06.000
no help. So then I call again, and finally I

70
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.159
get somebody after I've been sitting for almost half a

71
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.919
fucking hour. Yea, trying to not I've never waited more

72
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.360
than six or seven minutes, except at Christmas time. That's her.

73
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.720
The guy super nice, but he's like, where are you?

74
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.040
And I was like, well, I'm I'm in a silver

75
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.079
car and I'm in parking spot fourteen. He's like, all

76
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.079
we got from the app was that you were here,

77
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.959
and it didn't give us any info about where you were,

78
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.800
so we couldn't find you. We didn't know if it

79
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.319
was like a false reading or whatever. So they bring

80
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.480
it to me right away. But at that point, I'm like, god,

81
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.120
damn it. A series of errands that should have taken

82
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.879
forty minutes, including getting lunch, has already taken thirty minutes.

83
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.720
So now I go all the way to Guitar Center.

84
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.720
I get there and the guy behind the counters on

85
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.480
the phone with a customer for over ten minutes. I

86
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.399
had to stand there while other associates walk right by.

87
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.959
That's annoying, and I'm not like, why don't they do bad?

88
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.040
But I was just kind of like, really, nobody even

89
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.120
asks like, is there is there any way I can

90
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.319
help you? Because actually there was a guy ahead of

91
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.160
me in line who just left after six minutes or

92
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.600
seven minutes. He just got up and left. So I

93
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.639
get the damn thing. The boxes all busted up, it

94
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.519
looks like they'd opened it. But I let that go

95
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.240
because it seemed to be in whatever guitar center you

96
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.839
know is It's like being mad at your aunt on chemotherapy,

97
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.839
like what do you want? Yeah? So now I'm like,

98
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.959
I am tired, I'm annoyed. I've spent an hour. I've

99
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.439
lost so much time I really needed to on this project.

100
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.160
So now I'm like, I am going to get some McDonald's.

101
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.360
So I go to order it with the McDonald's app

102
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.560
to save some money. Send it to the wrong restaurant.

103
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.079
So I was like, fuck, So I cancel it, send

104
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.720
it to the restaurant. Going to it won't load. They're

105
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.680
just like, there's a problem. We can't send your order

106
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.319
to the restaurant. I know what you're thinking. You're like,

107
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.240
just call into the speaker. But I wanted my meal

108
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.319
to be four dollars. I had coupons. They don't take

109
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.879
if you don't use the app. So I send it

110
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:07.639
and I go, okay, I'll go to the one on

111
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.600
on stroop. Yeah, I get there. It won't let me

112
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.560
check in. It's the other one on stroop, so I

113
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.959
sent it to the wrong restaurant. Tough, and this is

114
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.800
this is At this point, I'm not saying, wow, the

115
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.639
technology is better while McDonald's is bad.

116
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:23.800
No.

117
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.439
No, at this point, I'm saying wow, I'm spiraling. I

118
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:31.120
am failing harder and harder by the second. My friend,

119
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.000
I didn't hit record on the mean one, but that's

120
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.120
okay because I got a backup. I'm learning. I'm learning.

121
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:43.319
I'm a learning computer. So anyway, then I get home

122
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.560
and get to enjoy a nice relaxing day of being

123
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.519
an hour and a half behind on everything. I do everything.

124
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.560
At that point, when I ordered a burrito earlier, I

125
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.399
was shocked they forgot to put razor blades in it.

126
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.720
So anyway, hmmm, hello, my friend, and welcome back to

127
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.399
do you even movie? With that still around now, with

128
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.000
that very low who cares? Fuck him? They ain't paying

129
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.600
me nothing, They ain't paying me jack or shit. Jesus. I'm,

130
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.879
of course your host and Rique Kuto here with my

131
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.160
good buddy and co host Double D David Denoi yea,

132
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.399
and we are going to be talking about a classic

133
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.519
classic worth a revisit. Ah what you did there? But

134
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.600
before we get to that. Dave and I, yes, have

135
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.360
been going to the movies a week have indeed, And

136
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.519
we saw on opening night, our preview night. Yeah, we

137
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.959
saw a Flight Risk, mel Gibson's newest action thriller starring

138
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.160
Mark Wahlberg Toafer Grace and Shell Dockery. Thank you, Michelle Dockery,

139
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.639
you said, yea, and she was great. Yeah, so we

140
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.399
saw that. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Same,

141
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.199
Mark Wahlberg scared the ship out of me. It's been

142
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.920
blowing my mind because people have been saying stuff like, wow,

143
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.160
Wohlburg was really hamming it up and all this stuff,

144
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.519
and I'm like and I'm like, well, first of all,

145
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.240
Wohlburg is not known for his subtlety anyway, he never was.

146
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.399
I don't know if I've seen him since The Fear, Yeah,

147
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.199
Fear not Fear. Oh sorry, Fear.

148
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:19.839
The Fear is a different movie.

149
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.560
It would have been better if he'd been in it,

150
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.800
but I hadn't seen him be that scary since Fear. Yeah. Oh,

151
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.600
I would agree with that, And that's a whole other

152
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.439
kind of scary because he was like a teeny bopper.

153
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.600
Yeah when he did Fear, so I thought he was

154
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.080
very scary. I thought the tension of them being in

155
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.120
the airplane the entire time basically was was really well done.

156
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.399
I was expecting them to be in the plane like

157
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.960
a third of the movie in reality, because it's hard

158
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.000
to write tension that tight. Yeah, but no, they were

159
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.320
on the plane the entire time all the most like

160
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.320
the entire movie. They were like, I think, like ten

161
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.559
minutes the beginning and ten minutes agaend. They weren't. Yeah,

162
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.759
maybe maybe even.

163
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.679
Five honestly five each, probably yeah, ten all together.

164
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.559
I enjoyed it, But the thing that blew my mind

165
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.440
was how much Mark Wahlberg made made me nervous. Yeah,

166
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.840
by just staring at them, to the point where I

167
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.279
made a meme with you where I'd be like, you're good, right,

168
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.440
I'd send you a picture of Wolberg all smiles and

169
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.200
like you're sure, And it's into the one where he's

170
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.080
like looking at them wanting to eat their bones.

171
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.240
For those who aren't aware, the movie is about air

172
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.960
Marshall accompanying a fugitive to a trial. As they crossed

173
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.519
the Asking Wilderness, tension sore and trust is tested as

174
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.279
not everyone on board is who they seem.

175
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.240
Well, that's one way to put it, I would say,

176
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.559
so another way to put it is exactly that that's

177
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.639
what the movie is. Yes, yes, but I really enjoyed it.

178
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.559
But what did What were your thoughts?

179
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.679
I really liked it as somebody who has been a

180
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.200
avid that seventies show fan for a long time, but

181
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:42.639
also currently doing a rewatch at.

182
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:43.200
The entire series.

183
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.360
Okay, that's why I love seeing tofer Grace doing a

184
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.960
little doing a little bit more because I feel like

185
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.679
he's done a couple like Netflix things of the last

186
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.559
couple of years, but I haven't really seen him much

187
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:52.279
that I can recall.

188
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.039
This is definitely a bigger role for him than he's

189
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.159
been taking lately. He's more of like a supporting.

190
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.159
There's a really good movie that he did. I want

191
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.559
to say it would have been late twenty tens or

192
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.200
early early twenty tens or late two thousands called The

193
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.879
Double which is him and Richard gear Oh that sounds cool.

194
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.759
Has to do with a like double.

195
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.440
Agent or whatnot. Yeah, really really good.

196
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.360
Flick cannot recommend that enough. And he's a really good

197
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.679
inte well, and he's a good actor.

198
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.200
Yeah, it absolutely is. Came from the world of sitcoms,

199
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.440
so it's easy to kind of pigeonhole him or be like, oh,

200
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:22.320
he's not that great, but.

201
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.720
Well, a lot of people forget he was in traffic,

202
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.799
like that was one of his first big breakouts.

203
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.799
Yeah that's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point.

204
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.080
But no, I think Flight Risk is an absolute blast

205
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.240
ninety minute runtime, like basically on the Nose. I think

206
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.440
it was like ninety one minutes if I'm not mistaken

207
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.480
something like that. Yeah, ninety one minutes on the Nose.

208
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.320
Had a great time with it. It really just keeps the

209
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.639
tension going the entire time, and you may think you

210
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.080
know where it's going and then something else happens and

211
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.320
then you're like, oh shit, no we're on this route.

212
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.279
Now, No sir, no sir.

213
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.000
But yeah, I would absolutely give flight Risk a high

214
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:53.279
recommend on that one.

215
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:05.399
Do You Even Move? He will be right back, welcome

216
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.559
back to do You Even movie?

217
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.200
And then we just got back, Yes we did, and

218
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.960
from seeing the new Steven Soderberg movie we did which

219
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.279
makes us sound very fancy, but it's a little film

220
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.039
called Presence.

221
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.039
And there was no presence at all, not even under

222
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:25.399
a tree.

223
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.360
I mean, the villain was trying to give a gift.

224
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.360
Oh God, but what you always get mad when I

225
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.559
point out the reality.

226
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.679
The Presence description says a family becomes convinced they are

227
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.480
not alone after moving into their new home in the suburbs.

228
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.440
It I want to say, first off, it's not a

229
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.039
horror film.

230
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.559
What I think it actually is a horror Do you

231
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.399
think it is? Yeah?

232
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.879
I feel like it's more of a family drama with

233
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.080
supernatural elements.

234
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.039
I think that's almost every horror film with a family

235
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.080
in it. I don't know about that. I mean, that's

236
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.399
basically amid evil horror.

237
00:11:58.639 --> 00:11:59.720
But horror isn't the title?

238
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.960
Oh so that just makes it it just that just

239
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.879
count that chances it out makes its own gravy.

240
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.200
But no, I mean I really I thoroughly enjoyed Presence,

241
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.840
had a like was very moved by the ending too, honestly.

242
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.679
Who It was well thought out and I went in

243
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.039
totally blind, as did you, hm, which makes me want

244
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.080
to keep our audience blind. Yeah. I don't want to

245
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.519
say too much, but it is a supernatural movie. It

246
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.960
is about a type of like a spirit or haunting,

247
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.039
and they take a really interesting direction with it. It's

248
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.559
a little cheesy and hokey here, But I really I

249
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.679
don't have any complaints about it. I thought it was

250
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.679
It turned out it was really fun and I went

251
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:38.360
a great time with it.

252
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.360
Shout out one of the main actors in at Chris Sullivan,

253
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.720
who plays the father in the film. I was one

254
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:43.919
over with his performance.

255
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:44.080
Oh.

256
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.240
I felt awful for him. Yeah, he was like he

257
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.279
was the most reasonable person in that entire house. When

258
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.799
somebody would do something so dickish you couldn't believe it,

259
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.039
He's the one who would be like, Hey, you don't

260
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.039
need to talk like that. Yeah, and it'd be like, oh,

261
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.120
I'm used to the dads in those movies just beating you.

262
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.159
That is the one thing I will say. It really

263
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:02.519
used the word.

264
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:07.080
Fuck a lot. Well, every scene, every scene is one

265
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.320
long take. Yeah, so you're gonna get a lot of

266
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.799
improv of of fucking proplem yeah, which is basically it's

267
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.200
like if you don't want to say uh or say fuck.

268
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.759
I just realized something. I wonder if he was commenting

269
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.279
on it with this whole thing, if it's not even

270
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:23.919
enhancing now.

271
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.000
Oh yeah, there's a whole part where he's judging his

272
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.720
son's vocabulary. Yes, he's saying fuck a bunch. I wonder

273
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.080
if that was actually in dric to that. I mean

274
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.039
it could be. Yeah, he could have been referencing that.

275
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:34.360
But no.

276
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.480
Presence and flight Risk I cannot recommend either enough. Like

277
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.159
I think they're I think they're a great time for

278
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.840
the theater especially. Yeah, I mean presence, you're gonna get

279
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.080
a lot of You're gonna get way more out of

280
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.480
it scene in theaters, I think than you would at

281
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.000
home from the sound design and the overall shot and everything.

282
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.519
Oh yeah, well's it's it's pulse pounding.

283
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:50.759
Yeah.

284
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.559
Presence though had a lot of moments. I think we're

285
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.519
really strong if you were seeing it in the theater.

286
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.879
I mean, the theater is a better experience for all

287
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.000
the way around film. Yeah, yeah, not that you know,

288
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.159
there wasn't a lot of value to seeing Evil Dead

289
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.919
by myself in my bedroom on VHS on a you know,

290
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.360
a twenty eight inch fair square TV.

291
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.799
But what's the what is the like most monumental movie

292
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:16.879
that you can remember watching on a small screen just

293
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.759
out of curious monumental like one that is either like

294
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:21.320
still with you to this day, but like the first

295
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.159
time you saw it was on like a super small

296
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.840
screen everything.

297
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.480
Me like Terminator two. I mean I lived in a

298
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.679
world war screens were small.

299
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.919
I mean I literally watched Repo, the Genetic Opera, Boondocks,

300
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:36.399
Saints and what the hell was the other one? There's

301
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:37.919
another big movie in there that I watched on my

302
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.039
iPod for the first time ever, Like, those were how

303
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:40.919
I saw those.

304
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.960
Just as David. Yeah, he wanted you to watch it

305
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.000
on the Shrek TV yep. Oh man.

306
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.759
There were days at the radio station when I was

307
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.240
doing board opping, which is basically just controlling the board

308
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.159
when they were doing sporting events, so it was basically

309
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.080
listening to them come back for their breaks and go

310
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.600
out to the brakes and whatnot. That I would just

311
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.519
have my phone propped up in the window and just

312
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.000
be watching stuff like That's how I watched.

313
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.360
Do you remember that movie Wormwood, The Road of Blood or.

314
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.480
Whatever it was, Yeah, I watched that on my phone

315
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.639
for the first time on Netflix.

316
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.519
I used to listen to Gangster Rapp while I filmed

317
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.679
the Police Memorial. I remember you told me that, Yeah, yeah,

318
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.559
it was. I can't believe I was fired from that

319
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.759
job eventually, crazy a year and a half later. Yeah,

320
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.000
but still still a good, good answer. So yeah, that

321
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.159
all being said, tonight's film is nineteen ninety three's groundhog Day, Yes, sir,

322
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:32.320
directed by Harold ramis correct. Who many may know as

323
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.000
which egone from you called Hime? Well you know what,

324
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.600
I had a one and four shot, did okay? I

325
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.960
chose the nerdy names first. At least I didn't say

326
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.600
at least I didn't go you may know him as

327
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.440
Ernie Hudson just the wrong actor's name and doesn't Gozer

328
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.320
the Ghos. You may know him as the staypuff marshmallow

329
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:58.879
Man Kaiser SoSE you may know him as former President

330
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.799
Barack Hussein no bomb up, but but no, this is

331
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:05.759
a movie. You want to talk about. A movie that

332
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:14.120
had a impact on television, groundhog Day. Groundhog Day kind

333
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.759
of jumped on the like the kind of wake of

334
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.840
a Christmas story being twenty four hours. I can't remember

335
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.320
it was t T or TBS, one of those I

336
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.399
believe did the groundhog Day marathon. Marathon, Yeah, because they

337
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.240
would do on groundhog Day groundhog Day all day, which

338
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.759
makes perfect sense. So I I guarantee that I first

339
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.759
saw groundhog Day at home. My mother's always been a

340
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.399
big Bill Murray fan. Yeah, so, I'm sure she probably

341
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.159
either rented it or we, like, you know, watched it

342
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.159
on cable. But I remember liking it a lot, and

343
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.320
it was one of the earliest movies that made me cry.

344
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.200
I could see that what's that supposed to mean? Pal?

345
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:59.159
I know, I know what gets you sometimes. Oh oh yeah.

346
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.159
I actually came to the movie a decade late. By

347
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.319
the way, I came to it in my twenties. Great

348
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.839
dishonor well, I it was so I my first distinct

349
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.279
memory of Groundhog's Day. I cannot remember the character's name,

350
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.799
but what was the rabbi on SNL that would come

351
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.519
on to the weekend up dates?

352
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.480
See an actual rabbi?

353
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.200
He was a character. He was a character. He's also

354
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.880
in Casper. He's the guy that gets his head turned

355
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.079
around father you.

356
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.880
Time, like Guido Sarduci. Yeah yeah, yeah, Glut sardc Yeah yeah, yeah,

357
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.160
yeahyeahan He was a character, but he was actually we started.

358
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.440
He wasn't like a no, not an actor. Yeah yeah,

359
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.359
Wido Sardy. Yeah, he did a he was I don't

360
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:35.960
think he was a rabbi. I think he was a priest. Priest.

361
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.599
He was on He did a bit on Weekend Update

362
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.720
on an SNL that my parents had taped where he

363
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.680
talked about Groundhog's Day, and that was like my first

364
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.880
introduction to it was was him doing that bit, And

365
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.839
then I asked my parents about it, and they were

366
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.640
never big fans of Groundhog Day, like they I don't.

367
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.200
I don't know if they just never really saw it

368
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:53.480
or if it just didn't hit with them.

369
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:54.400
I had no idea.

370
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.920
So it wasn't until twenty thirteen, twenty twelve, I'm in

371
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:03.119
college and I'm in my first screenwriting class. I had

372
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.400
a really great teacher, and he decided that one of

373
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.759
the lessons was going to be basically breaking down the

374
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.240
first ten to fifteen minutes of a movie being critical

375
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:12.000
for storytelling.

376
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:13.400
Okay, so he showed us.

377
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.559
The beginning of High Noon, the beginning of The Menificent Seven,

378
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.920
something else that I can't recall in Groundhog Day. And

379
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.759
this is the first time I'm actually seeing groundhog Day,

380
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:24.759
like the the intro with with him and everything and

381
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.960
them going to Pugsatawani and like the initial wake up

382
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.519
and everything. And I remember I immediately left class when class

383
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.240
was done and went and bought a copy of Groundhog

384
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.279
Day because I wanted to see it. Oh yeah, and

385
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.039
then from that point on, basically every February second, I

386
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:38.119
will watch Groundhog Day.

387
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:39.559
That late, that late.

388
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.039
I was in my I was at least in my.

389
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.599
Twenties, I want to say, I mean I would hope. Yeah.

390
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:47.240
Yeah, it was total Yeah, No, I had to be

391
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.039
twenty twenty one, and I I mean, it was just

392
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.160
it was honestly a moment that, like I just distinctly

393
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.119
remember because I was just like, why the fuck did

394
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.599
I wait so long to see this movie?

395
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.559
Because you're a bad person. It moved me so No,

396
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.240
it is And by the way, I was somewhat wrong.

397
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.279
Father Guido Sarducci obviously character but was portrayed by and

398
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:08.240
I guess could still be because he's still with us,

399
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.240
was portrayed by Don Novello. That's right, yeah, Don Emelio.

400
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.680
But it was a character. He portrayed on many shows, Yeah,

401
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.240
Married with Children, Blossom, It's Gary Shandling's show. Unhappily Ever

402
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.720
After Square Pegs, he often appeared in many things in character.

403
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:24.839
Yeah, he literally gets his head turned around and casper

404
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:25.599
and vomited on.

405
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.000
Yeah, This Mother's Brother's Comedy Hour, Surent Live. Of course,

406
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.839
he did a bunch of articles and radio commercials for

407
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.359
High Times magazine. Oh my god. So and he was

408
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.720
very very funny. I'm paraphrasing, but I think my favorite father,

409
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.000
Guido Sarducci was It was he the one who did

410
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.319
the whole like every person, every savior of our people,

411
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:50.079
Jesus Christ crucified, Martin Luther King shot dead, and I

412
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.880
myself am not feeling very well. That was him, very

413
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.559
very funny.

414
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.839
I just remember even Casper. Oh it's a piece of cake,

415
00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.839
piece of crumb.

416
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:03.319
Cake, don't you remember that? Yeah, yep, he's a chrome cake.

417
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.720
God do you even?

418
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:16.880
Movie? Will be right back, welcome back.

419
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.839
To do you even movie?

420
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.359
I guess we should talk about the film for real's

421
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:31.839
obviously it stars the irreplaceable Bill Murray. Yes, that is correct,

422
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:35.559
although we'll see how Bill Murray AI does once he's gone.

423
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:39.279
So Groundhog Day is one hour in forty one minutes,

424
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.440
rated PG. For some thematic elements. The IMDb synopsis says,

425
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:47.039
a narcissistic, self centered weatherman finds himself in a time

426
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.160
loop on Groundhog Day.

427
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.920
I mean that's pretty solid, Yeah, I mean that's pretty solid.

428
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.039
My synopsis TV Weatherman Phil Connors travels to Puksatawny to

429
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.319
cover Groundhog Day festivities, only to get stuck in a

430
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.400
time loop, causing him to experience the same day every day.

431
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.279
I gotta be honest, I like there's more on that

432
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.839
one there, I think, because I think the narcissistic part

433
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:09.079
is actually important. It's key, No, it's absolutely key. And

434
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.720
Bill Murray is really good at playing unlikable people who

435
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.880
become likable. Yeah, that's one of his Like Bread and Butter.

436
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.039
I mean, I feel like, given that you know they're

437
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.440
they're out of the season with Scrooge, But like, if

438
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.880
you watch Scrooge in Groundhog's Day back to back, you're

439
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.119
going to cry multiple times when he has his when

440
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.720
he has his wrap ups at the end, I would say,

441
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:31.359
especially Scrooged taglines include what would you do if you

442
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.880
were stuck in the same day over and over? Anything

443
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.960
you want and everything your heart desires.

444
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.839
That makes it sound too fun.

445
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.400
He's having the worst day of his life over and over.

446
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.359
Okay, I I all right that one.

447
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.519
I like, he's having the day of his life over

448
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.519
and over again.

449
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.319
I'm starting to see a pattern in the marketing here.

450
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.599
So I will unfortunately report that at this time of

451
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.759
this recording, groundog Day is currently available to only rent

452
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.799
or by through Primer Fandango. It is not Peacock anymore.

453
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:05.720
I didn't see it at least. If it is, I

454
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:07.680
missed it. But it wasn't listed on IMDb.

455
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:09.640
Huh, yeah, I thought it was on I thought it

456
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.200
was on Peacock.

457
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.160
If it's on Peacock, then I am wrong and a

458
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:12.720
piece of shit.

459
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:18.480
Well, I mean, now we're cooking. I'll check. Okay, Well,

460
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:20.119
you keep doing your little dance.

461
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:22.240
Director and writer on the film Harold Ramis, who you

462
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.599
may remember several weeks back from our episode of The

463
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.759
Ice Harvest. Just to give you a highlight of his

464
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.240
resume for a director, he does Caddyshack in nineteen eighty,

465
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.279
National Lampoon's Vacation, eighty three, Club Paradise in eighty six,

466
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.720
Groundhog Day, and ninety three Stewart Saves his Family in

467
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.200
ninety five. Multiplicity analyzed this, but dazzled analyze that in

468
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:39.880
The Ice Harvest in two thousand and five. He was

469
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.359
also the writer on Lemmings and seventy three, Animal House,

470
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:47.240
Caddy Shack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Back to School, groundhog Day, and

471
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.319
as I reported, on that ice Harvest episode as well.

472
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.000
He did unfortunately pass February twenty fourth or twenty fourteen

473
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.359
from an autoimmune inflammatory asculitis. He was sixty nine at

474
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.559
the age at the time.

475
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:01.039
Nice but also phenomenal filmmaker, phenomenal storyteller. It is not

476
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:05.640
on Peacock, that's on me. Okay, I saw Filo and

477
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.440
it's a key. Yeah, that's fair in passing. No yet,

478
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.559
it's not currently readily available, but.

479
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:13.839
It very well could be because as we're recording this,

480
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.279
we're not into the month yet, so it might They

481
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:17.119
might change it over.

482
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.799
You never know. The studio executives might be like, I'm

483
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.440
tired of drinking this child's blood? Is it almost groundhog Day?

484
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.920
Right around the film? Is Danny Rubin, God damn you.

485
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.319
And you're welcome?

486
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.119
Ninety three is groundhog Day? Then here to Evil? When

487
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.839
ninety three is well, so fucking what? Or SFW in

488
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.279
ninety four, stork Day in two thousand and four, our

489
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:41.359
own Devices.

490
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.119
In twenty eighteen. Nice? Yeah, do you ever see SFW?

491

00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.880
really really like that are built up to be extremely believable. Yeah,

659
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:35.640
but then you're supposed to like laugh when you find

660
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:37.680
their severed head. And it don't work for me. Yeah,

661
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:39.799
it doesn't mean it doesn't work for you out there,

662
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.680
You kids, you kittens that like the horror comedies.

663
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.319
Well, it's why two K did the same thing.

664
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.480
Yeah, in that movie Stink. I mean, it wasn't that dang. No,

665
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:49.640
but it wasn't great. Yeah, it wasn't great. And one

666
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.759
of the reasons it wasn't great was that I felt

667
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:57.720
like every time I thought I was like invested, then

668
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.559
they would just pull the rug. Yeah, which, in a way, okay,

669
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.200
you know, I'd take it back. It's a little too

670
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.920
harsh on Why two K let the box office be

671
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:08.640
the pummeling ow dude? Even I was well, no, even

672
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.079
I was shocked that they spent so much money on it. Yeah,

673
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:14.720
but yeah, it's just and again, I'm not the audience

674
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.200
for horror comedies. So I'm not here to say you

675
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.359
out there in the world should not like horror comedies,

676
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:25.200
but I certainly am not a big fan of horror comedies.

677
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.640
There have been some though, Tucker and Dale versus Evil perfect. Yeah,

678
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.640
so funny. I'd watch it a million times. Yeah. So,

679
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.359
and there are other Sean of the Dead and all that.

680
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:33.640
You know.

681
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:35.000
Well, I mean, hell, this could have been a horror

682
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:36.160
comedy if they would have gone with some of the

683
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:37.079
original screenplays.

684
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:39.920
Well, and when you find out how many days he

685
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.000
actually lived or day over and over, I've got that

686
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:47.119
in the trivia. That makes it a horror movie to me. Yeah,

687
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:48.720
I would say, so, so you're ready to get into

688
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.599
the movie. No, I would not want to live the

689
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.039
same day over and over again, especially not I didn't

690
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.960
see this is why I need to I need to

691
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.559
get more sleep at night, I guess, because that would

692
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.559
have been the perfect segue, would be. Anyway, here's the

693
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:04.480
day I don't want to live over and over. But instead,

694
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:06.720
for some reason, I was stuck on thinking about I

695
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:08.640
do want to when I when I have like four

696
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:11.119
things happened poorly in a row that were up to chance.

697
00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:14.359
I literally hear in my head I have a terrible, horrible,

698
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:19.680
no good, very bad day. Did you sing that during quarantine? No,

699
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.559
I just I just cried and washed my dishes a lot.

700
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:24.440
I think that was The closest I came to ground

701
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:26.039
on day was quarantine.

702
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:29.240
Yeah, just you just wake up the sunny and share,

703
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:33.519
get yourself a bottle of wine in the shower. There

704
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.759
was there was a day Oh oh no, wait no,

705
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.559
there was a week, Oh lord that I would basically

706
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.960
start my day by telling it my my system that

707
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.519
I'm not going to say the name of because she

708
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.200
may hear her name in the room right now.

709
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.720
Your system, the automated system.

710
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.200
Oh oh oh yeah, she's always.

711
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.880
She's always listening. But I wanted her to play no joke.

712
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.000
Every day is exactly the same by nine inch nails.

713
00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:59.119
When I got up for a week.

714
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.519
That is the most dave thing I've ever heard in

715
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.920
my life. And I don't want to be on this

716
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:10.920
planet anymore. I believe I could see the future. Oh yeah,

717
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:14.000
that was a sad set time. I have to let

718
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.639
it stand because I sang terrible, horrible, no good, very

719
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:19.000
bad days so much so that's fair fair enough.

720
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.400
So Groundhog Day opens on February first. We are meeting

721
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.960
cynical television weatherman Phil Connors, and he is going through

722
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:28.840
his spiel in the in the weather forecast, even doing

723
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.960
some fun humor things He seems fun at first.

724
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:34.760
Yeah, but very quickly that fun humor becomes becomes it

725
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:36.880
becomes clear that there's an edge to it. That he

726
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.559
just resents his job entirely and everybody involved, Yeah, intensely.

727
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:43.679
I mean he's he's in there.

728
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:48.239
So he's in Pittsburgh, and he he's in Pennsylvania, right, Yeah,

729
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:49.400
West Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh.

730
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.800
Okay, yeah, he's Pittsburgh. I'm almost certain he's I know

731
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:53.920
he's in Pittsburgh, yep, so he is.

732
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:54.199
Uh.

733
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:56.320
He wraps up his forecast and he tells everybody that

734
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:58.039
he's not going to be around for the six o'clock

735
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.280
because he's going to pugs A Tawny because to.

736
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.159
Is Groundhog Day, Yeah, Puck Satani.

737
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:04.480
And he has to do the live report as they

738
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.840
always do, and he's taking along his new producer, Rita

739
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.960
Hanson and cameraman Larry with.

740
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:12.440
Him, Larry the camera man, Larry the cameraman, and I

741
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:14.480
do love when he when he makes one of the

742
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:16.519
jokes that stuck out right away was he says, like,

743
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.039
I have offers from major networks. Yeah, and Chris Elliot's

744
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:24.239
characters just like that's the home shop up network and

745
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:25.079
that he leaves.

746
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.519
So they are traveling to pug Satani and he's talking

747
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.480
with Rita and Larry and basically just being cynical about

748
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:33.480
how I can't wait to be done with this. This

749
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:35.840
is the last one. And she's even asking him like,

750
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.199
you know, what's what's the big deal, Like, you know,

751
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:39.039
why don't you like like Groundhog's Day?

752
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.719
Yeah, because because we get the vibe he's done this

753
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.920
sometimes and and to him, this is just like we're

754
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:49.639
gonna go look at the yokels pulling out their rodent. Yeah,

755
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:53.840
And I get where where his producer's coming from, because

756
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:56.519
she's like, can't you just like this is kind of fun,

757
00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:58.440
Like it's a cute town. I've been to punk Satoni.

758
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.639
It's very cute. I've heard it is, Like she's like,

759
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.079
can't we just have some fun? Like you get to

760
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:05.920
go to a place you haven't been to very often,

761
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:08.199
You get to see people having fun and dancing, you

762
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:11.159
get to do a fun thing, a fun remote. Plus

763
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:13.719
the worst part about him complaining is once they get

764
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.280
there and they do his you know, his stand up

765
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.360
about it, they're like done. Like he he like had

766
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.440
to work from like eleven am to like early eleven

767
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.000
am to like two pm. Yeah, two p Like, that's it.

768
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.320
Show business is so hard, dude, as somebody who had to.

769
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:33.440
Cover the Strawberry Festival for many years, multiple days of

770
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:34.719
the Strawberry Festival, mind you.

771
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:36.320
How long did it take the Strawberries to see their

772
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:37.519
goddamn show? Oh my god?

773
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:43.679
So it would start on so technically Friday is when

774
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.840
it started. They would have the thing downtown and then

775
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:48.960
the festival would open officially Saturday with them die in

776
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.960
the fountain. So then he had Saturday and Sunday.

777
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.199
But then they die the fountain. They down the fund

778
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:56.119
in red Yeah, I hope, But was it Red number three?

779
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.079
Was not Red number three? I don't think. Now they're

780
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:00.719
not allowed to do that. I do that anymore.

781
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:04.280
But I would have to, no joke, walk that entire

782
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.840
goddamn town carrying my tripod, my camera bag because the

783
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.400
festivities would be on the levee the festivity and streets

784
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:12.159
are shut down, so I can't I can't drive.

785
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.360
Yeah, so I'm walking for the record. I mean, regardless

786
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.039
of how the streets are, you can't drive, how dare you?

787
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.719
So it was it was just getting to a point

788
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:28.960
that that when once I saw groundhog Day. You know,

789
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.039
I was in college, so I hadn't had this experience yet.

790
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.639
But after seeing groundhog Day, I really started to get

791
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:36.360
that feeling of Phil. After a bit with the fucking

792
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:39.679
festival you were, you were like, I'm a grizzled twenty something.

793
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:40.880
Oh yeah.

794
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.280
So he's happy to be leaving the station for his

795
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:45.480
new job, and he is not shy at all about

796
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.920
telling them about it. They get into Pugsatani and they

797
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.639
pull up to a hotel and he immediately is like, no, no, no, no,

798
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:52.679
not staying here. This place is not for me. She's like, no,

799
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.719
this is where Larry and I are staying. I booked

800
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:56.079
you in a nice bed and breakfast.

801
00:37:56.519 --> 00:38:01.079
Yeah, which again would make the experience so much more charming. Yeah,

802
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:03.079
you know, to get to stay at a bed and breakfast,

803
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:06.639
you get to meet nice people. But of course he's

804
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.119
not gonna take advantage of any of.

805
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.760
That curmudgeon curmudgeon as he is. So he wakes up

806
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:12.960
the next day and we get our first taste of

807
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.920
Sonny and shares I got you, babe, And I really

808
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.679
hope we hear it more because I do like that song.

809
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.760
You know, I don't know if he will though, just

810
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:20.519
being honest.

811
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.800
So we hear two guys going on about Groundhog's Day.

812
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:25.800
He opens his window, he sees the festival is in

813
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:29.639
full swing, so he heads out downstairs, runs into I

814
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:31.719
cannot remember the actor's name, but he's the Santa Claus

815
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:32.559
in Home Alone.

816
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.360
Oh yeah, yeah, gosh, he's one of those character actors.

817
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:40.519
He's great in everything, big heavy set guy, great memorable voice.

818
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:42.039
And of course he's asking, you know, hey, do you

819
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:43.639
think the Groundhog's gonna see a shadow? What do you

820
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:45.360
think Spring's gonna start? And he gives him the exact

821
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:46.480
date for springs starting.

822
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:49.480
Yeah, yeah, which and I always feel for that guy too,

823
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:51.480
because everybody in that bed and breakfast, they like know

824
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:53.880
who he is because he's the weather then from Pittsburgh. Yeah,

825
00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.559
and Pittsburgh's the big market, yeah, on that side of PA.

826
00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:58.840
Because on the other side is Philly, and in between

827
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.119
is not a whole lot other than a college, a

828
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:04.320
college that literally they had to make a town called

829
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:08.599
State College so that it wasn't in Philly or Pittsburgh.

830
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.320
My god, I'm serious, I believe it, because that's that's

831
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.280
like the level of it's so different. Pittsburgh is a

832
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:18.199
Midwest kind of working class town. Yeah, And Philly is

833
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:22.119
a very East Coast style town. Yeah. It's much more

834
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.159
like New Jersey as to where Pittsburgh is much more

835
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:27.280
like Ohio in that way. And I like both cities

836
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:29.760
very very much. I'm not trying to crap on. Yeah,

837
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.719
I also know a little bit and I'll talk about

838
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:34.599
it more in a second. About getting stuck in a

839
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:39.039
blizzard on those very twice, yeah, I can bet you do.

840
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:41.239
And then a snows and then ice storm rather.

841
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:43.800
So, speaking of a storm, a woman who runs the

842
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.280
bed and breakfast, which is very very sweet, and Phil

843
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.119
comes down, you know, no shit at all, just completely

844
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.039
be in the dick again because it gives no shit,

845
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:51.239
you know.

846
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.440
Okay, can I have a cap? I don't suppose there's

847
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.199
a cappuccino? Oh no, no, we don't have that.

848
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:57.119
I didn't think so, like under his breath and everything

849
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:00.039
being a complete dick, he even mentions that the s

850
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.719
doorn they're supposed to get is probably not gonna hit them.

851
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:05.000
It's gonna go right past him, and he does his

852
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.800
whole weather spiel.

853
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.440
Well, he is a meteorologist, so like I do love

854
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:10.960
the like because when the one, it's really bad. He's like, no,

855
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:13.559
it's gonna blow down in the upper pressure. Sisters just

856
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:15.679
explaining it me while they're standing in the middle of

857
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:18.960
a snowstorm. But it's like, no, trust me, I know

858
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:20.000
what I'm talking about.

859
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:21.760
Correct me if I'm wrong. This is when he goes

860
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.119
and sees Ned right. Ned runs into him right after

861
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:25.800
this or is it after the first front. It's like

862
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.000
when he's heading to them for breakfast. So yeah, so

863
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.039
he's going. So he's walking out to Punsaitani and he's

864
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:32.639
gonna go meet them, and he runs into somebody who

865
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:35.559
recognizes him right away, and we meet the great Steven

866
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:37.599
Tobolowski as Ned Ryers, one of.

867
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:43.440
The greatest character actors known to man, and Tobo. It

868
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.039
wastes snow time being Tobo Tobo? Is that is that

869
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:47.840
you guys are on that on a nickname basis?

870
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.280
Now that's what he called it? Wasn't Tobo Stories. Wasn't

871
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:51.280
that what we call his podcast?

872
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:53.039
It could be. I feel like that's what he called it.

873
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:55.320
I just I mean, I just I just call him,

874
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:58.639
you know, Lawski. He likes that Lawski.

875
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:11.679
Do you even movie will be right back, Welcome back

876
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:15.559
to do you even movie?

877
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:22.079
So he is ned Ryerson, and of course Phil knows

878
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:23.840
who he is, but one sack like he doesn't. And

879
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:25.800
he's like going through all these things that he had

880
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:28.840
shingles real bad and in school, and he've dated his

881
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:31.519
sister at one point, and then he asked, this is.

882
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:35.280
Because he's trying. We've all probably ran into somebody from

883
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:40.039
school or whatever. And my favorite move, my favorite Dick move,

884
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:43.320
is the whole I don't remember you. Yeah, Like that's

885
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:46.800
such a crummy way to kind of like but it

886
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.039
also it's also a way to like stop the small

887
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.360
talker because you don't want to talk to them. I'm

888
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.079
very fortunate. Can't imagine why, but I've never had anybody

889
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.000
pretend they don't remember me from school. I can't imagine why,

890
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:03.320
but but it's so funny because they saying I don't

891
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.599
remember you. He just has thing after thing that is

892
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:10.199
so incredibly memorable. Remember I almost died of shingles. But

893
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.480
he's like, I dated your sister that year. He tell

894
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:14.960
me to stop. He told me to stop, like he

895
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.039
has every reason to be remembered. He's like, uh no, no,

896
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:23.079
and he has his Keith catchphrase, bing big oh god.

897
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:25.199
So he he.

898
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:26.760
Tells Ned that he's got to go work on the

899
00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:29.119
pokes of Toaddi on the groundhod Day reports that he

900
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:30.960
goes off and walks, and he steps off the sidewalk

901
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:33.400
into a giant puddle, and Ned goes up.

902
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:36.239
Fuff, Oh, look out for that puddle. Instid dude, look

903
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:42.280
out for that first step. It's a doozy and again,

904
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:46.280
very great balance to the writing. You're supposed to feel

905
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.079
bad for this guy because our main characters being a

906
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.480
choch about everything, but at the same time he's annoying

907
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.599
and kind of kind of a dick himself. He is,

908
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:56.880
although then well well then again, I mean he is

909
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.679
reacting to basically being treated like he's an idiot.

910
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.159
Yeah. He also tries to sell him life insurance. He does,

911
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.599
which doesn't make you more likable in that circumstance, but

912
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.159
it's like you can tell this guy doesn't want to

913
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:08.639
talk to you, and now you're going to try and

914
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:09.800
sell him something on top.

915
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:12.079
Well, you know, if you have life insurance, you could

916
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:12.880
never have too much.

917
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.119
Yeah, that was Oh my gosh, he's so he's the

918
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.639
hard cell really helps, Yeah, make that make that rough.

919
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.000
He's so good. So then Phil goes out to Gobbler's knob.

920
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:24.840
He's getting ready for the fest of the festival, and

921
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.199
they're gonna pull Phil out and get everything basically read

922
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.480
off their little scroll. So that's when we find out

923
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.000
that it's going to be six more weeks of winter.

924
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:34.400
Six more weeks well according to the ground according to

925
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:34.920
the groundhog.

926
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:37.039
Yes, and of course the guy that is uh pulling

927
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.320
the groundhog out is Bill Murray's own brother, Brian Doyle Murray.

928
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:43.800
Yes, yeah, and I mean who better as buster Buster?

929
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.760
Was he the mayor of the town or was he?

930
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:48.559
I believe he's the mayor or something along those lines. Yeah,

931
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:52.440
So he wraps up the report really shittily, like he

932
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.519
I can't remember what he says exactly, but she's even like,

933
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.239
you know, can you do that again? But less cynical

934
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.480
or less sarcastic. He's like no, yeah, no. So then

935
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:01.639
he goes back to his He they go to a

936
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:03.880
diner and he's ready to leave. They get on the road,

937
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.719
and right as they're getting on the road, the blizzard

938
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.320
starts to hit.

939
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.519
Whoops, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

940
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:13.440
They get stopped like just right outside of town and

941
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.079
the cops like, you know, you gotta go back.

942
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:16.639
And of course he gets out of the car. It's great.

943
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:19.760
He's standing there being pelted by snow and he's like, snow,

944
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.679
you don't understand. It's good, gonna come up and through

945
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:25.199
there and like this is nothing, but I love it.

946
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:27.880
That's another one of my favorite jokes to start off

947
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.079
the movie, because he says, look, you either go back

948
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.880
to Pucksatani or you can freeze to death. And he's like,

949
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:35.280
I'm thinking about it.

950
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:40.880
I love it because he's shivering while he's talking of red,

951
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.119
like his hair is filling with snow. So they are

952
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.000
forced to spend the night in the town. So he

953
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:49.840
goes back to his motel and then the next morning

954
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.639
he wakes up and he's hearing the radio say the

955
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:53.440
same report.

956
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.199
Yeah, he's hearing Sasani and Chriff followed by because it's cold.

957
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:00.280
At first, he's like, oh, you're playing the same tay

958
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.599
or you're playing the tape guys, like he thinks he's

959
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.760
busted them everything. And that's when he opens the window

960
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.920
and sees that it is exactly the same day again.

961
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.480
Yeah. Well, and then it becomes especially clear because he

962
00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:14.639
gets the same greetings in the morning, he goes outside

963
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:16.440
walk the guy in the hallway. Yeah, yeah, and then

964
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:18.360
he goes outside. The lady's like, I'm going to see

965
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.119
it's Groundhog Day and he's like, isn't once it's a year?

966
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:24.599
Is it still once a year? So he is.

967
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:27.679
He thinks he's experiencing deja vu, which he absolutely is.

968
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.400
Everybody asks the lady at the bed and practice. He's like,

969
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:34.440
do you know what deja vu is? And she's like,

970
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.119
I don't think we have that, but I can ask question. Yeah.

971
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.599
So that's when he again goes and does his report.

972
00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.000
He tries to leave town and you know, it doesn't

973
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.079
work out again, so he goes back to bed the

974
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.440
next day again. He's even talking to Rita and he's like,

975
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.639
you know, I'm leaving the same day again. She's like, yeah, yeah, whatever,

976
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:54.199
do you do your report? So they don't believe him.

977
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:57.119
Nobody believes him. So that's when he awakes and again

978
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.280
February second, once again, so he gradually starts realize that

979
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:02.079
he is now trapped in this time loop.

980
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:07.079
Yeah, and and and and I've never seen somebody so mad. Yeah,

981
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:11.239
it's something that is like that's not only beyond your control, yeah,

982
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:15.559
but also beyond your comprehension. Yeah, like, this doesn't happen

983
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:18.880
to much of anybody ever. You've never heard of it

984
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:20.480
ever happening to anybody ever.

985
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.679
It's terrifying to think about. Yeah.

986
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:26.599
Yeah, when when I, like I said, when I found

987
00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:29.000
out how long they had written in the script that

988
00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:31.360
he had been suffering.

989
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:34.559
Yeah, that that made me uneasy. We will give you

990
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:36.760
that answer at the end of this podcast. Dear listener,

991
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.840
ooh nice cliffhanger. Yeah, it's uh. You you may think

992
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:42.519
you know, you don't know shit, so.

993
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.280
Think you know me, but you don't know anything.

994
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:47.400
So once again he shows up at the festival and

995
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:49.320
he's trying to talk to Rita about you know, we

996
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:51.880
I've I've done this now three times, like I know

997
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:53.800
what's gonna happen, this is what's gonna happen and everything,

998
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:55.280
and that's when she's like, Okay, well, if you really

999
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:57.519
feel this way, let's get you to a neurologist, and

1000
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:01.000
that in turn takes him to a psychologist the Great hairs.

1001
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:02.840
Well he says. What he says though, is he says,

1002
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:05.760
like you're a producer, like, help me tell me what

1003
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:07.519
she's like, I think you should get your head exams.

1004
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:11.119
So then it smash cuts to Harold Ramis and he

1005
00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:12.639
has an X ray of his head and he's like,

1006
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:14.599
everything looks fine here. If you want to get a

1007
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:16.480
cat scan, you're gonna have to go out. He's like, unfortunately,

1008
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:18.440
if you want a cat scan or a CT scan,

1009
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:20.039
you'll have to go to Pittsburgh for that.

1010
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.039
He's like, he's like, I can't leave town. He's like,

1011
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:23.519
what do you mean.

1012
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:27.400
He's like, I've tried. I've tried. He's like, i'd recommend

1013
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:31.599
a psychiatrist, and then again a psychiatrist. As a psychiatrist

1014
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:35.360
is so overwhelmed by what appears to be a paranoid delusion,

1015
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:37.440
by the way, because of course it would be a

1016
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:41.639
paranoid delusion. So he's just like very nervous as he's

1017
00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:44.360
telling him like I'm trapped here, I'm living the same day,

1018
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:49.000
and he's just like, uh, I mostly handle couples, and

1019
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:53.679
I have an alcoholic now, which I love. I have

1020
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:55.880
an alcoholic I have an alcoholic now And he's like

1021
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:59.719
excited about it, which I think is again, it's a

1022
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:04.719
great it's a great like depiction of small town. Yeah,

1023
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.079
America that it's like we have the basics, you know,

1024
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:10.679
but like nobody's even equipped to deal with your level

1025
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:12.039
of neuro season confusion.

1026
00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:13.480
Well, and going back to the small town, I think

1027
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.119
one of my favorite things that I've kind of glossed

1028
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.519
over is any time we're in the diner in town

1029
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:19.719
and all the people that are around there, the locals

1030
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.000
and everything we've got, you know, the tray that drops

1031
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:23.400
in the plates and you got Rick to common and.

1032
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:26.519
Goes, hey, just put that anywhere? Guy? Yeah, and and

1033
00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:30.199
he completely he can predict it, like yeah and plates

1034
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:32.599
and yeah, it's it's it's so good.

1035
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:35.360
So that is when he decides that he is gonna

1036
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:36.880
go get drunk with a few locals, and we have

1037
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.239
Gusts and Ralph, and that is when he gets them

1038
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:40.760
in the car. You know, they've they've had a few

1039
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:42.880
drinks and he's gonna drive them, but he decides that

1040
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:44.920
he's gonna try to figure this out a little bit more.

1041
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:46.280
So they start.

1042
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.519
Driving on train tracks, and that's one of my favorite

1043
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:50.239
things that he's basically talking to me is like, you know,

1044
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.800
what would you guys do if there was no consequences tomorrow?

1045
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:54.880
And that's when Rick de Common's like, well, basically, you

1046
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:56.039
can pretty much do anything.

1047
00:48:56.119 --> 00:48:58.599
Yeah. He's like, I'm tired of being told go to

1048
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:01.800
bed all time, tired of being told like do your homework.

1049
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.400
I'm tired of being told don't don't drive. Well, I

1050
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.320
actually think that's a good I kind of like that one. Phil.

1051
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.599
So he starts leading police on this chase of the

1052
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.119
train tracks and they go all the way down. They

1053
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.000
pull a chicken right in front of a train. The

1054
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:19.519
last second he pulls off, and that's when the cop

1055
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.000
pulls up. Because they were originally like talking about going

1056
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.079
to get flap Jackson. So the cop comes over and

1057
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:28.079
he's like two cheeseburgers. Oh, is it too early for Flapjacks?

1058
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:29.760
What do you guys want?

1059
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:33.159
So that he gets arrested, he's in prison, we see

1060
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:35.440
the bars close and he just kind of has this

1061
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:37.400
grin on his face because he knows that when the

1062
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:39.400
next morning comes, he's gonna be back in his bed.

1063
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:40.559
Yeah, and sure is shit.

1064
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:42.599
The next morning comes, we hear Sonny and cheer, I

1065
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:44.880
got you, babe, And Phil wakes up once again in

1066
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:47.599
the Cherry Street in and he just has this grin

1067
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:50.480
on his face and realizing now there are no consequences

1068
00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:51.440
at all for his actions.

1069
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:55.760
Yeah. So now he's moving into the fun and games portion, Yeah,

1070
00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:58.719
which is where he does things like just walks up

1071
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:01.599
to that attractive girl and he sees kind of passing

1072
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:03.840
by because it's a small town, so you're seeing some

1073
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:05.960
people at the bed and breakfast, then you're seeing them

1074
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.800
also at the diner, then you're seeing them walking down

1075
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:09.960
the street, then you're seeing wherever. So he just grills

1076
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.239
her for a bunch of information, you know, what, what

1077
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:14.960
was your sixth grade teacher? What was this? And this

1078
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:18.360
and this? And then the next day he's using that

1079
00:50:18.440 --> 00:50:20.639
info as an inn yep to like.

1080
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:23.199
Hey, hey I sat behind you, I was in your class.

1081
00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:24.159
We had such and such.

1082
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:26.519
Yeah, yeah, and then he says like, let's catch up later,

1083
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:29.320
and he uses that to completely as an ind to

1084
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:31.880
bed her immediately smash cut to her house.

1085
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.440
They're they're having sex, and then you've also got the

1086
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:35.760
next night he's taking.

1087
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.880
Is it her or another woman? Two of the movies,

1088
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:39.519
it might have been her, I'm not sure. I can't reme.

1089
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:42.079
But anyway, he's dressed as the man with no Name.

1090
00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:45.320
Clint Eastwood has has the cigar and everything talks and

1091
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:48.320
talks in the accent, and they go see the movie.

1092
00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:50.320
But then we also get into the other darker side

1093
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.280
where he is doing NonStop binge eating right in front

1094
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:56.679
of Rita and the diner because he knows. Yeah, so

1095
00:50:56.760 --> 00:50:59.400
he's shoving entire like angel food cake in his mouth

1096
00:50:59.440 --> 00:50:59.880
and she's.

1097
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:01.800
Like, what makes you so special that you have no

1098
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:04.800
consequences to your actions? Coffee from the pot? Oh what

1099
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:06.639
I'm saying, just keep keep it coming please on the

1100
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:10.480
waitress like, all right.

1101
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:20.960
Do you even? Movie will be right back, welcome back

1102
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.840
to do you Even movie.

1103
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:28.800
That's when Larry comes over.

1104
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:29.960
He's like, you know, we gotta get on the road,

1105
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.519
and he's like, you know, I'm not going anywhere like

1106
00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:34.519
you guys, go ahead. So then that's when we also

1107
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:37.440
move into another activity where he has been through the

1108
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.280
days at probably about a couple weeks at this point,

1109
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:42.400
to where he times a robbery off of a bank truck.

1110
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:44.920
Yeah. Yeah, he just walks up, picks up the thing

1111
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.039
because he knows exactly when they're gonna turn away all

1112
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:48.960
this stuff, so he just takes a bunch of money.

1113
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:50.719
Yeah, so he takes a bunch of money has a

1114
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:52.119
huge bag of money. And that's I think that's when

1115
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:54.079
they cut to the movie theater after that, So we

1116
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:56.920
also see that he just starts having increasing knowledge, Like

1117
00:51:56.960 --> 00:51:59.960
he runs back into Ned and first the second time,

1118
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:02.719
he's like, he goes and he goes Ned Ryerson hugs

1119
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:05.119
him and he's like, hey, you know, do you have

1120
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:05.760
any place to go?

1121
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:07.320
Could you could you stay? And do you have anywhere

1122
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:09.239
you have to be? Could you stay? Could you call in?

1123
00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:13.039
Could you call in? That's immediately just gross and he's

1124
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:15.360
just like, I've missed you. I've missed you.

1125
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:22.679
And one of my favorite parts here is right as

1126
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.239
Ned goes running the part on the sidewalk where the

1127
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:27.760
woman's where he stepped off, another person steps off. He

1128
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:29.639
watches them go in and get their foot wet, just

1129
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:32.519
like he did. And that's that like immediate evil look

1130
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:34.960
on his face. Oh yeah, we're off to the races now.

1131
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.639
So that's when he eventually focuses on Rita. He wants,

1132
00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:41.920
he wants to seduce Rita. He's basically had everybody in

1133
00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:43.840
town at this point, so word to Believe, and now

1134
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.159
he's focusing his attraction on his producer.

1135
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:50.119
Yeah, so he's asking her personal questions and then spending

1136
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:53.440
time like reading her favorite books so that then they

1137
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:55.719
can talk and he can quote her favorite books.

1138
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:58.800
And this like all comes to pass basically when they

1139
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:01.639
are going to the hug A Tawny celebration. Later that night,

1140
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:03.920
they're at a bar and he comes over and sits

1141
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:05.800
next to her for a drink, and he's like, you know,

1142
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:08.679
he orders her or he orders her a drink first,

1143
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:10.840
that she'd like something on the rocks or something like

1144
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:12.480
that or that, and she wants a sweet vermouth with

1145
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:13.079
a twist.

1146
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:15.239
And he says sweet with a twists like he's trying

1147
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:17.360
to remember it. And the way you write anything down,

1148
00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:18.320
the paper will be gone.

1149
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:20.920
Well, the way the editing is, we go immediately to it,

1150
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:22.400
like it's just like a sweet Ruth with a twist.

1151
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:24.519
Next night we're there like formuth with a twist.

1152
00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:25.039
I love it.

1153
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:26.760
And like he keeps winning her over a little bit

1154
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:30.199
more and manipulates her. But no matter what happens, she's

1155
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:32.800
onto him. She knows right away. So I mean, we

1156
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:34.880
see them have a nice night together, but he gets

1157
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:36.559
slapped multiple times.

1158
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:40.199
I see him get rejected again and again and again

1159
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:44.000
and again, and it's Honestly, at first, it's pretty charming

1160
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:47.199
until you really the thing about this movie is it's

1161
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:50.480
like all comedy. The further you are from it, the

1162
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.679
funnier it looks. Yeah, and you know, there's a part

1163
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:55.679
of you that can't even hate on him too bad.

1164
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:57.679
It's like, what else is he gonna do? He's I mean,

1165
00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:01.960
he's just stuck in this. You know, he's trying to

1166
00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:05.199
to to cut ahead so that he can have these

1167
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:08.280
uh you know, I guess distract a distract experience. I

1168
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:09.239
would say so, yes.

1169
00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:13.320
So basically he always gets denied from her when he

1170
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.199
tells her he loves her, like that's the number one

1171
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:18.320
thing that she's like, Yeah, you don't know me, I

1172
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:20.320
don't know you, Like, you're just going off of this

1173
00:54:20.360 --> 00:54:23.159
one thing. So he gradually just starts to become.

1174
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:24.800
Depressed in the movie. Yeah.

1175
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:28.440
So by this point we are over into suicide realm.

1176
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.239
Yeah, and this is where the fun in Games really

1177
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:32.280
starts to stop.

1178
00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:36.320
Yeah, because not only does he start with basically going

1179
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:38.679
into downstairs, grabbing the toaster, going.

1180
00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:41.360
Into the tub the toaster right off where they're serving

1181
00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:44.360
breakfast at the bed and breakfast and just drops it

1182
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.480
in the tub, and the lights flicker. Yeah, yeah, they

1183
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:48.119
just they're all just down there eating and they see

1184
00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:50.199
the lights, like huh.

1185
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:53.480
He jumps off a tower, he gets hit by a car.

1186
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:56.239
He even says at one point that he's been shot, stabbed,

1187
00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:57.000
poisoned in.

1188
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:57.639
All these things.

1189
00:54:57.760 --> 00:54:59.320
Yeah, which we don't see a lot of these, which

1190
00:54:59.320 --> 00:55:00.840
again I'll get to that in the trivia at the

1191
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.079
end as to why. But this all leads to him

1192
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:07.559
going and kidnapping Pugsatani film, which.

1193
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:09.519
Is one of the most memorable moments and a great

1194
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:12.280
moment for the trailer because there's a whole scene where

1195
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:15.360
he's basically letting Phil punk Satani film, which, by the way,

1196
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:18.400
he hates even more because he's Phil and Punk Satani

1197
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:23.480
Phil Phil, So he's he's letting the groundhog drive steer.

1198
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:25.119
The don't drive angry, don't drive angry.

1199
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:29.039
It's it's a great moment because the levity is what

1200
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:33.760
makes this movie stick so well to where people even

1201
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:36.960
with the heavy themes that we're about to really uncover

1202
00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:40.199
and with and with the heavy theme of the fact

1203
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:43.719
that what the movie's really saying is that most of

1204
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.440
the time, we all waste the potential we have every

1205
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.320
single day, that every single day is an immense amount

1206
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:53.119
of opportunities to grow, to meet people, to love, to

1207
00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:57.360
to all these things. But having a scene where Bill

1208
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:00.000
Murray steals a groundhog and goes for a joy ride

1209
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:03.480
really does It's it's really the spoonful of sugar to

1210
00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:06.280
help the medicine go down police chase in full pursuit.

1211
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:08.719
He is going on the road and he's driving with

1212
00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:10.719
Phil Fills on the steering wheel, and finally we get

1213
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:13.679
to like a cliff ravine. I mean it's basically a

1214
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:14.199
giant cliff.

1215
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:15.000
Yeah, it's like a cliff.

1216
00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:16.800
So he has parked at the end, the cops have

1217
00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:19.079
caught up with him, and he says, fuck it, we're

1218
00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:22.360
going over, so takes him and Phil right over the

1219
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:25.360
edge and once again awakens on February second two.

1220
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:26.920
I got you, babe. And the one thing that.

1221
00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:29.440
I also have glossed over is it starts out he's

1222
00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:30.719
happy to hear the alarm clock.

1223
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:33.000
Yeah, and then he starts like he's hitting it with

1224
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:34.800
his hands, and that one point he's just beat eating.

1225
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:37.280
It with a hammer, throwing it, stomping on it. And

1226
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.400
I mean that's that's basically where I got you.

1227
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:39.679
Babe.

1228
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:42.679
We see once five point fifty nine and it falls

1229
00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:45.679
into six am. Every morning it gets heavier, it gets slower, and.

1230
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:49.760
The way they film it, yeah, they use a macro

1231
00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:53.719
lens and they slow it down. So here's a filmmaking trick.

1232
00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:58.440
If you want something small to look bigger, Yeah, the

1233
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.840
secret isn't just making it look bigger in the lens

1234
00:57:01.880 --> 00:57:05.840
by using macrophotography trick photography, it's the speed that it

1235
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:11.079
moves because big things move slow and small things move fast.

1236
00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:13.400
And when in the olden days when they would shoot

1237
00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:15.840
on film, they would actually do the math of like

1238
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:17.719
what size is this supposed to be, and then they'd

1239
00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:20.280
figure out how many frames per second to run the

1240
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:22.480
camera because if you run extra frames, it goes slower,

1241
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:24.800
if you run less frames, it goes faster. One of

1242
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:27.800
the most famous examples of how that works is Godzilla

1243
00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:31.000
in the original Toho Productions where it was a man

1244
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:33.920
in a suit. Because famously, one of my favorite things

1245
00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:36.440
about Godzilla, and I think a lot of people as well,

1246
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:39.679
is that when Godzilla does something there is that he

1247
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:45.159
always has that incredible beat before he goes yeah, which,

1248
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:48.280
by the way, is a bow on a base like

1249
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:51.320
an upright base playing the strings on the bottom side

1250
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:55.039
of the bridge. I did not know that. I learned

1251
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:57.639
that because I was classically trained violinist. Makes sense. And

1252
00:57:57.679 --> 00:57:58.840
when I learned that, I went straight to one of

1253
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:00.079
the bass players and aske him to do it, and

1254
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.280
I was like, that's it, that's it. It was the

1255
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:04.440
Leo Leo DiCaprio snapping. That's it.

1256
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:04.880
That's it.

1257
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:09.159
But so my point is the reason that there's that

1258
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:12.280
that that weight before he roars is because the actor

1259
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.159
in the suit is being captured in like double time

1260
00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:17.599
or so it's half as fast, maybe even a little

1261
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:20.400
bit more. Yeah, so that weight is because the timing

1262
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:23.280
is just going to be slower. But it works great

1263
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:25.960
for Godzilla. So when when he's filming this little because

1264
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:27.519
it's one of those flap alarm clocks that has the

1265
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:31.000
little flaps that change the time, it shows them fall

1266
00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:33.480
and hit. Now, for all I know, because this was

1267
00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:36.000
a big budget movie, maybe they actually built giant ones.

1268
00:58:36.079 --> 00:58:40.000
I have no idea, but they they move so slow

1269
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:42.360
and when they hit, it has base to it and

1270
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.320
you see the little wiggle as it lands, and it's

1271
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.440
such a beautiful example of show don't tell where you

1272
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:52.559
could have Bill Murray say I am so miserable I

1273
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:55.840
dread when I wake up, or you could do that.

1274
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.079
And it's memorable, so memorable that it was one of

1275
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:01.239
the first thoughts I had when we were talking about

1276
00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:02.320
doing this film on the show.

1277
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:04.719
Well, and I mean it goes without saying too that, like,

1278
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.480
as the movie progresses, we see him get worse and worse,

1279
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:09.840
even though he's waking up a different person or the

1280
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:10.840
same person every day.

1281
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:14.039
He is getting he's changing it. He's changing a lot.

1282
00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:17.199
Because there's that great overhead where he put put your

1283
00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:18.280
booties on campers.

1284
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:21.320
It's cold outside. He's just saying it, yeah.

1285
00:59:21.400 --> 00:59:24.519
And he's just looking so gray and everything. So eventually

1286
00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:26.519
it gets to the point where he realizes he can't

1287
00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:29.559
kill himself, so he is deciding that he wants to

1288
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:31.760
try to explain the situation, to read it again and

1289
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:33.920
be sincere about it, and try to try to woo

1290
00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:34.679
her once more.

1291
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:36.960
So I don't even mean part of it, I don't

1292
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:39.159
even know part of it's probably a friend, but he's

1293
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:42.320
probably just he's so miserable and so lonely, and and

1294
00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:46.960
you have to imagine for a second, let's say that

1295
00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:49.119
he's not even the biggest sleez ball in the world.

1296
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:52.599
Let's say that he you know, because every day he

1297
00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:55.519
gets to know a woman better and better. Yeah, let's

1298
00:59:55.559 --> 01:00:00.559
say that he just really likes them, nothing matters. No,

1299
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:02.760
no matter how much they get along, no matter how

1300
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:06.599
good they make him feel, he'll never be deeper than

1301
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:10.639
that one moment. It's it's a very brilliant metaphor for

1302
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:13.800
like casual sex, yeah, or one night stands, suggesting that

1303
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:17.840
they could actually make you immensely more lonely because oh well,

1304
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:20.559
no matter what you do, no matter how much you

1305
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:22.840
spend time with them, no matter how they make you

1306
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:26.320
feel in the moment, it's always over. Yeah, it's always over.

1307
01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:30.079
Well, and you start out having resentment for him as

1308
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:31.679
a character because I mean, he's a he's not a

1309
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:34.239
likable guy at all, and I mean through the movie

1310
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:36.719
he doesn't really get more likable at this point, so

1311
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:39.440
you're kind of struggling because you're just like shit, Like,

1312
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:41.519
I start to feel really bad for him at this point,

1313
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:43.760
as I think at most of the viewers are supposed.

1314
01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:45.559
To Yeah, once he's like killing himself over and over again,

1315
01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:46.400
You're already like.

1316
01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:48.719
Yeah, because at first you're just like, oh yeah, no

1317
01:00:48.760 --> 01:00:52.400
consequences sounds great, and then oh yeah, by by year one, well.

1318
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:55.760
Then you realize no consequences means no benefit, means no

1319
01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:58.920
good things. It's like my mama. My mom always pounded

1320
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.519
into my head, nothing venture, nothing gained. If you have

1321
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:03.360
nothing to lose, you have nothing to get, nothing to

1322
01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:04.880
get there, you have nothing at all.

1323
01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:08.039
Yeah, do you even?

1324
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:18.639
Movie? Will be right back, welcome back to do you

1325
01:01:18.920 --> 01:01:19.719
even movie.

1326
01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:27.000
That's when he decides to use his knowledge of the

1327
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:29.719
loop to to try and get through to her. So

1328
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.639
he starts telling her about that when the plates are

1329
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:33.800
going to fall, and he starts explaining everybody in the

1330
01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:36.760
diner to her, And what sells her is he tells

1331
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:39.039
her that Larry's gonna come over here in a second

1332
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:41.239
and say something, and I want you to stay with me,

1333
01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:43.880
and he writes down verbadon that. Larry says, all right,

1334
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:45.760
the band's going ready, do you guys want to go?

1335
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:47.679
No, it's we want to get out of here now.

1336
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:49.239
If we want to stay ahead of the weatherhead And

1337
01:01:49.239 --> 01:01:51.000
literally she holds up the piece of paper and it says, yeah,

1338
01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:52.079
if we want to stay ahead of the weather.

1339
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:54.920
So that's when you know, they have a they have

1340
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:58.239
a nice night together, you know, they they go out.

1341
01:01:58.199 --> 01:01:59.960
They have a heart t heart. Yeah, Yeah, they connect

1342
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:00.880
in a deeper way.

1343
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:03.000
And once again we kind of see that because is

1344
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:04.639
this the point where they have the snowball fight and

1345
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:06.679
like he's trying to explain that he doesn't want kids

1346
01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:08.400
now he wants lots and lots of kids.

1347
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:10.639
And I think so it all kind of blends together

1348
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:11.920
because it's the same same day.

1349
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:14.639
Yeah, So he's taken her out and they're walking in

1350
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:16.960
the snow and some kids start throwing snowballs, and you know,

1351
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:19.119
he starts playing back with them, and we see this

1352
01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:21.800
repeated and it just gets sadder because at first he's

1353
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:22.880
just like, you know, he's.

1354
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:24.119
Like, I want to have kids. I just want to

1355
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:25.679
have a lot of kids, kids.

1356
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:28.079
Just trying to sell it to her completely. Yeah, So

1357
01:02:28.119 --> 01:02:30.840
that's when he realizes that he really does have feelings

1358
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:32.639
for her. So they lay together in bed one night

1359
01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:34.400
and he knows that the next morning she's going to

1360
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:35.199
be gone well, and.

1361
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:37.360
She says she'll stay up with him. Yeah, which is

1362
01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:39.360
then so cool because it hits midnight and she's like,

1363
01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:41.559
we did it and he's like, no, no, it's not

1364
01:02:41.639 --> 01:02:43.800
until six of the morning. She's like, you didn't tell

1365
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:45.880
me that. I didn't know there were specific rules. He's like,

1366
01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:48.599
I don't know what the rules are, just learning this

1367
01:02:48.639 --> 01:02:50.559
as quickly at the same pace as you are.

1368
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:53.480
So he awakens Loan on February second again, and that's

1369
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:55.920
when we start to see this change start to form

1370
01:02:55.960 --> 01:02:58.480
in him. Yeah, because this is where he starts using

1371
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:01.239
his knowledge of things to make things better.

1372
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:03.440
Or at least to try to try. And that's that's

1373
01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:06.159
that's a big try is the big word. Because one

1374
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:08.800
of the things that made me cry as a teenager

1375
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:12.760
watching this was the homeless man who, in the first

1376
01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:15.360
time he wakes up, is just on the corner baking

1377
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:18.639
for change. He doesn't you know, he ignores him like

1378
01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:22.440
a lot of people. Yeah, he does the pat pat sorry.

1379
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:26.239
But now he's like at first it's just he like

1380
01:03:26.280 --> 01:03:28.559
gave him a shipload of money, yeah, and he's like ah.

1381
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:30.320
But then it became he was like, I'm gonna take

1382
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:32.159
him out for food. So he feeds him a bunch

1383
01:03:32.159 --> 01:03:34.760
of food and he dies dies. By the end of

1384
01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:35.039
the night.

1385
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.559
He's he's the first time he finds him is in

1386
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:38.760
the back alleys.

1387
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:41.599
So then he tries to like take care of him

1388
01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:45.559
more and and so he finds him. You know, he dies,

1389
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:48.280
He feeds him the food. He still dies. He spends time,

1390
01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:50.440
he still He takes him to the doctor, takes him

1391
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:53.039
to the yeah to be looked over, and the lady

1392
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:56.119
even says, like, I'm sorry, it was well, it was

1393
01:03:56.199 --> 01:03:59.639
just his time. So now we're dealing.

1394
01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:01.760
He goes into the room, though, grabs his chart and says,

1395
01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:05.400
not today. I do love that line. Sometimes people just

1396
01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:06.000
die not.

1397
01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:10.719
Today, Yeah, but but it it. Now we're playing with

1398
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:13.199
themes not only of like living every day to the

1399
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:16.039
fullest or what have you. Yeah, we're also living with

1400
01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:18.960
the idea that some things are fake and some things

1401
01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:20.920
can't be stopped some things that's too late.

1402
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:24.760
Yeah, So he starts testing everything possible. There's a kid

1403
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:26.599
that's climbing a tree that falls out of the tree

1404
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:27.960
at one point in the day, and he's trying to

1405
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.400
run up and save him. There's old ladies that have

1406
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:31.800
a flat tire in the street.

1407
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:34.199
He becomes a hero of the community because he knows

1408
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:36.920
exactly where to be at all times.

1409
01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:39.360
Saves Buster from choking on a stake at one pood

1410
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:42.159
and even one of my favorites is he starts taking

1411
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:44.320
up hobbies. So like the one of my favorites is

1412
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:46.400
he goes to the local piano teacher's house and she's

1413
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:47.800
got a student. She's like, well, you know, I'm kind

1414
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:49.039
of with somebody, you know, can you come back money.

1415
01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:50.719
He's like, well, I have a thousand dollars, you know,

1416
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:51.519
could you see me out?

1417
01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:55.559
And she just pushes the kid right out so much.

1418
01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:57.840
So then once again in the beautiful editing, we see

1419
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.920
him be shitty at piano and the next day he's

1420
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:02.639
better at piano, and then she's like, are you sure

1421
01:05:02.679 --> 01:05:03.920
you've never had a lesson before?

1422
01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:05.559
As he's just starting to like, you're just a really

1423
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:06.599
good teacher. Yeah.

1424
01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:08.840
So he even takes up sculpting ice, and you know

1425
01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:10.880
he got We see him arrive at the at the

1426
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:14.199
Pugsatani festival and he's got coffee for his cameraman and

1427
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:15.679
his producer and donuts.

1428
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:17.519
Which they're all worried. He's like dying. Yeah, like do

1429
01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:19.239
you did you get some news from a doctor?

1430
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:22.159
Even even to the point where he decides that he's

1431
01:05:22.199 --> 01:05:25.280
going to embrace the the Groundhog Day and is like, hey,

1432
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:26.039
I talked to a buster.

1433
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:26.320
You know.

1434
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:27.800
He says, we can move over here. We got a

1435
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:28.320
better shot.

1436
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:30.119
Yeah, He's like, we can get closer, we can get

1437
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:31.360
a better shot. He said, yeah.

1438
01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:31.639
Yeah.

1439
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:36.280
He's just he's become friends, yeah, with basically everybody, to

1440
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:38.239
the point where when he's walking around he's like the mayor,

1441
01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:40.320
everybody stopped and saying thank you. He's like, oh, her

1442
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:42.320
husband had an issue whatever, Oh the cat was in

1443
01:05:42.360 --> 01:05:43.880
the tree. All yeah, you know that this that.

1444
01:05:44.280 --> 01:05:47.159
So that is when we eventually we get to the

1445
01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:50.039
last the last day, I guess we what we'll say

1446
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:53.000
it spoilers, and he gives a very eloquent speech at

1447
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:55.840
Groundhog Day, like moves everyone, and you know they're they're

1448
01:05:55.840 --> 01:05:57.639
all loving his speech. He's even up on stage giving

1449
01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:00.199
it for his for the broadcast. And that's when just

1450
01:06:00.199 --> 01:06:02.800
starts to really take notice of him, especially helping the

1451
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:06.440
people with pugs Aatani. So that night she witnesses him

1452
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:11.159
playing piano expertly as they go to the Pugsatani celebration dinner.

1453
01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:14.320
He's sitting on stage just going on to that piano.

1454
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:15.800
I mean, it is such a kick ass scene. I

1455
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:17.039
love him doing that piano.

1456
01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:20.320
Yeah, yeah, and is that that's when, if I remember correctly,

1457
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:22.519
that's when he's in the auction, you know, the men

1458
01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:25.079
the auction where they this old school thing. I don't

1459
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:26.880
know if anybody ever does that anymore now, but there

1460
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:29.280
used to be this thing where you would auction bachelors yep,

1461
01:06:29.639 --> 01:06:31.320
for dates. You could do it do it with women too,

1462
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:33.639
but it always felt more weird, yeah, doing with women

1463
01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:35.679
where it would be like this bachelor and and sometimes

1464
01:06:35.719 --> 01:06:38.079
they'd even be just like a merry dude. But that

1465
01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:40.440
people like. And the idea was whoever bid the most

1466
01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:42.559
money to charity, you'd go out to dinner with them,

1467
01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:45.920
and the entire town's calling all on him. But but

1468
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:47.039
I forget what was the number?

1469
01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:47.400
Do you remember?

1470
01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:51.039
Like did she say like two thousand dollars and such

1471
01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:53.199
as such? She had the most amount of money, She

1472
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:55.679
like bid this insane amount of money. So now they're

1473
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:58.199
on a date that she's paid to go on with him,

1474
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:02.480
because he he's the best version of himself. He spent

1475
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:05.719
a life, oh man, he spent a lifetime kind of

1476
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:10.800
squandering so much and now he's done a lot of living. Yeah,

1477
01:07:11.400 --> 01:07:14.559
In that same day, over and over learning to play

1478
01:07:14.559 --> 01:07:18.159
the piano is a great metaphor for learning and growing

1479
01:07:18.360 --> 01:07:21.159
and becoming a better person. Yeah, and that's exactly what

1480
01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:24.679
he's doing, the entire the entirety of that latter half

1481
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:26.559
of his torment. Yeah.

1482
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:29.000
And I mean, and at this event, everybody's stopping him,

1483
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.239
thanking him for saving Buster's life. He gives Mike, a

1484
01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:35.400
young Michael Shannon in his film feature debut, WrestleMania tickets.

1485
01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:39.320
Oh yeah, yeah to him and his new wife. I mean,

1486
01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:41.639
he's he's recognized by everybody. So when he goes to

1487
01:07:41.639 --> 01:07:43.079
this charity auction, they go up and one of my

1488
01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:44.800
favorite things before we get out of the charity.

1489
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:46.400
Auction is Larry goes up.

1490
01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:51.840
Yes, yes he does, and no one's bidding, and he's

1491
01:07:51.840 --> 01:07:54.039
so Buster's like, I'll start the bidding at fifty cents

1492
01:07:54.079 --> 01:07:55.159
and this woman goes.

1493
01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:58.639
Sold two quotas.

1494
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:01.280
So that's when you know he's taken up ice sculpting.

1495
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:03.719
So he goes outside, carves her a beautiful ice sculpture

1496
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:05.280
while she has her eyes closed, and shows it to

1497
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:08.159
her at the end, tells her that no matter what happens,

1498
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:10.760
even if he's trapping this loop, wherever, he's happy to

1499
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:13.360
finally be with her. Yeah, and they have a great

1500
01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:15.480
night together. They share a kiss, they go to his

1501
01:08:15.599 --> 01:08:18.479
room and that's when you know they have this beautiful

1502
01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:20.840
time together on the bed, just talking and everything, and

1503
01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:24.159
eventually they both fall asleep. They wake up and we

1504
01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:25.359
hear I Got you babe.

1505
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:27.439
Yeah, and then.

1506
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:30.079
We also hear the DJs going, oh, I can't believe

1507
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:32.960
you're playing that song again, and we realize, yeah, it's

1508
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:35.319
February third, Yes, the curse is broken.

1509
01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:38.239
Yes, so he had a very special night in pucks

1510
01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:40.079
a TONI had a very special night.

1511
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:41.760
And that's when you know Rita is the one that

1512
01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:43.520
turns off the alarm clock, because that's the fake out

1513
01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:45.279
is we first hear the I Got you babe and

1514
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:47.239
it's just him in bed, but then her arm goes

1515
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:49.079
over hits the alarm clock, and that's when we know

1516
01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:50.239
that everything's.

1517
01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:51.800
All good again. Show don't tell yep.

1518
01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:53.880
So that's when you know they jump out of bed,

1519
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:56.119
run downstairs, and you know, he tells Rita that he

1520
01:08:56.119 --> 01:08:58.319
wants to live in Pugsatani. He carries her out the

1521
01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:01.239
front of the gate, which they couldn't open because it

1522
01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:01.760
was frozen.

1523
01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:04.039
Fun fact, I'll tell you here in a second again. Yeah, yeah,

1524
01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:06.399
but it checks out, it gets very cold.

1525
01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:09.159
But yeah, basically the movie ends that Phil has has

1526
01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:10.159
become a new person.

1527
01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:12.079
He's seen the error of his ways.

1528
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:15.079
And also by doing that, has escaped his hell, his

1529
01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:17.560
own personal health he was trapped in. And what I

1530
01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:19.640
love about this ending is there's no explanation.

1531
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:22.880
We don't know and there shouldn't be. No, that's that's

1532
01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:26.159
the best part. He did. The curse was lifted when

1533
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:28.600
he learned a lesson. Yeah, that lesson I think was

1534
01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:29.880
to stop wasting your time.

1535
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:33.319
Yeah, No, it absolutely is, and I mean were there's

1536
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:35.199
so much that we skipped over in regards to all

1537
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:35.840
the things that happen.

1538
01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:39.079
There's so much you can't classic. There's so much to it.

1539
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:43.159
But what I've always felt like it was a great

1540
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:45.319
example Yeah, of a film.

1541
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:48.079
It absolutely it's It's a perfect film. It has so

1542
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:50.479
much heart to it has so many moments that you'll

1543
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:53.720
laugh at, cry at. I just cannot recommend this movie enough,

1544
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:56.359
and that is nineteen ninety three's Groundhog.

1545
01:09:56.600 --> 01:10:00.079
One of the finest films and a great example of

1546
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:02.279
of the in my opinion, kind of the beginning of

1547
01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:09.840
Harold Ramis really being forever. Yeah, a massive part of

1548
01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:10.520
film history.

1549
01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:13.680
No, absolutely, And so would you like to guess this is?

1550
01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:16.239
This is the weirdest budget I've come across, by the way, Oh.

1551
01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:18.800
Is it in shekels? No? Oh is it in rubles?

1552
01:10:19.079 --> 01:10:23.000
It's estimated with two amounts, and they're pretty wide.

1553
01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:23.319
From each other.

1554
01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:28.439
I'm listening fourteen point six to thirty million?

1555
01:10:29.319 --> 01:10:32.560
Six to thirty could it be like? Do they attribute

1556
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:33.600
why they have two numbers?

1557
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:35.960
Just says IMDb just has that listed on it, and

1558
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:38.439
sodas I think SODA's Wikipedia if I'm not mistaken.

1559
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:40.920
Well, if Wikipedia says it, we know it's true. Yeah,

1560
01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:43.119
I mean it could be an inflat probably not ingested

1561
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:45.119
for inflation. They probably say that if it was. Yeah,

1562
01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:48.039
that's a that's quite a difference. I mean I could

1563
01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:51.600
believe both. I could see Harold Ramis. I mean, fourteen

1564
01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:54.359
million was not nothing back then, even though it was,

1565
01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:56.720
you know, a little on the low side for a

1566
01:10:56.760 --> 01:10:59.520
movie with Yeah, yeah, it says fourteen point six to

1567
01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:03.079
thirty million. Yeah, it just depends on who you ask. Yeah,

1568
01:11:03.199 --> 01:11:04.119
that's ridiculous.

1569
01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:16.960
Do you even movie will be right back? Welcome back

1570
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:18.560
to do you even.

1571
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:26.479
Movie so it opens February fourteenth and nineteen tiney three seven.

1572
01:11:26.600 --> 01:11:30.000
AI's Day takes in twelve million, twelve point five and

1573
01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:32.159
then gross's worldwide seventy one million.

1574
01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:35.840
It was a hit. Yeah, that and for that time period,

1575
01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:36.920
a major hit.

1576
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:39.680
So some fun things about the film and not so fun.

1577
01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:43.079
There are exactly thirty eight days depicted in this film,

1578
01:11:43.159 --> 01:11:44.520
either partially or in full.

1579
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:48.359
Okay, Yeah, that sounds about right, because because that's the

1580
01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:50.920
cruel irony of this movie. Yeah, is it doesn't wear out.

1581
01:11:50.920 --> 01:11:53.720
It's welcome as it literally is. The point is to

1582
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:55.920
be repetitive. You you've heard that meme right that where

1583
01:11:55.960 --> 01:11:57.640
it's like I want to hear the announce the sequel

1584
01:11:57.680 --> 01:12:00.560
to Groundhog Day and then just for really groundhog Day. Yeah.

1585
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:05.920
Speaking of which, remember when our buddy Robot.

1586
01:12:05.079 --> 01:12:07.479
My buddy Rob did a I can't remember it was.

1587
01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:09.720
I think it was twenty four hours, twelve showings in

1588
01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:10.319
a row.

1589
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:13.319
And he sat through the entire thing. Yeah, and I

1590
01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:15.119
think you win a prize. You won. I think it

1591
01:12:15.159 --> 01:12:17.000
was like fifteen movie passes like it was.

1592
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:19.039
It was a big deal because you could not sleep,

1593
01:12:19.279 --> 01:12:21.079
You had to stay awake the entire time. You had

1594
01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:23.319
to interact because it was like every time need Ryerson

1595
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:25.840
was said, you had to say bab Yeah, so I

1596
01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:27.319
got you babe. You had to sing along with I

1597
01:12:27.359 --> 01:12:29.399
got you babe. He told me about it, and I'm

1598
01:12:29.399 --> 01:12:31.720
just like, dude, I couldn't do it. I remember he

1599
01:12:31.800 --> 01:12:33.680
did that because we were all talking about it in

1600
01:12:33.680 --> 01:12:33.920
the chat.

1601
01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:34.239
Yeah.

1602
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:35.600
Yeah, He's like, I just want to do for you guys.

1603
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:37.119
And I was like, dude, you didn't have to, but

1604
01:12:37.159 --> 01:12:39.119
that's pretty cool. I was like, if you don't do this,

1605
01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:39.840
we're not friends.

1606
01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:43.039
In So, the movie shot on location in Illinois for

1607
01:12:43.039 --> 01:12:45.520
two weeks. Reshoots and additional scenes that were needed in

1608
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:47.720
the film were shot back at the Universal Studios in

1609
01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:48.439
Los Angeles.

1610
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:50.239
That makes sense. Yeah, the film was.

1611
01:12:50.199 --> 01:12:53.520
Not filmed in Pugs of Tawney, Pennsylvania, but actually in Woodstock, Illinois,

1612
01:12:53.560 --> 01:12:56.239
just fifty miles from Bill Murray's hometown of Wilmot, Illinois.

1613
01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:58.800
There's a small plaque that reads Bill Murray stepped here

1614
01:12:58.880 --> 01:13:01.479
on the curb where Murray continually steps into a puddle.

1615
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:03.960
There is another plaque on the building wall corner that

1616
01:13:04.039 --> 01:13:07.239
says Ned's corner, where Phil Connors was continually accosted by

1617
01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:10.079
Ned Ryerson. During the ned scene, the sign for Woodstock

1618
01:13:10.119 --> 01:13:11.840
Jewelers is clearly seen in the background.

1619
01:13:11.960 --> 01:13:14.840
Ah's and that makes sense phil in Illinois too because

1620
01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:16.800
they have pretty intense winters, so you can have that

1621
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:20.960
snowy look to it. Because when you think holiday movies,

1622
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:22.720
like when you think a Christmas movie, you think snow.

1623
01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:25.359
But in actuality, in most of the United States and

1624
01:13:25.399 --> 01:13:27.560
most of the world, yeah, there's really not a ton

1625
01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:29.680
of snow in December on average. In fact, I think

1626
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:32.840
I've talked about this before, but apparently I read this

1627
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:35.079
and it could be total bullshit, but I read that

1628
01:13:35.199 --> 01:13:38.439
Charles Dickens when he was growing up it was just

1629
01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:41.760
a very cold time period in London or in part

1630
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:43.560
of England he grew up in, so there was always

1631
01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:45.720
snow in December when he was growing up during his

1632
01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:48.159
formative years. And that's why when he wrote about Christmas

1633
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:49.039
there was tons of snow.

1634
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:52.119
It was just it was his interpretation.

1635
01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:54.239
Well, it was his nostalgia for the holiday. Yeah, and

1636
01:13:54.279 --> 01:13:56.800
that became everybody's to where we all want a white Christmas,

1637
01:13:56.800 --> 01:13:59.640
even though we all know, I know, I know, people

1638
01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:01.840
love to you. Like when I was a kid fifteen

1639
01:14:01.880 --> 01:14:04.239
feet just don't listen. I had Christmases in New Hampshire

1640
01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:06.479
where legitimately my dad would be like, they're saying three

1641
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:08.760
feet tomorrow, we better go get some milk, and I'd

1642
01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:11.039
be like three ft in We're in New Hampshire, it's

1643
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:15.920
three feet. But I like to look at data I liked.

1644
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.239
I don't like to rely on my stupid memory that

1645
01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:22.840
is stupid, except when it comes to apparently Dickens facts,

1646
01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:26.520
but which I have a lot of. But I remember

1647
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:28.840
there being many Christmases where we where we might have

1648
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:31.720
gotten a dusting of snow before Christmas, but maybe there

1649
01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:33.359
was no snow on the ground. I remember, even as

1650
01:14:33.359 --> 01:14:34.760
a kid going, god, I hope we have snow on

1651
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:38.039
the ground at Christmas. So yeah, so but but but

1652
01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:41.920
my point is that Groundhog's Day is the beginning of February,

1653
01:14:41.920 --> 01:14:45.479
a time when you really you never know, you might

1654
01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:47.479
get an ass load of snow like we like here

1655
01:14:47.520 --> 01:14:49.720
in the Midwest where we are, you know, outside of Dayton, Ohio,

1656
01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:53.680
the Paris of Ohio. We we got we got a

1657
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:57.159
crazy snowstorm and then a crazy cold snap, and now

1658
01:14:57.159 --> 01:14:58.680
they're saying it's gonna be warm for a few weeks.

1659
01:14:58.680 --> 01:14:59.800
But I would not be surprised if we had a

1660
01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:02.000
couple a big snow. Still. Did we not have snow

1661
01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:04.640
last year in April? I don't think we had an April.

1662
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:06.199
We definitely has a March. We get a lot of

1663
01:15:06.199 --> 01:15:09.800
snow in March. Used to say lousy Smarch weather.

1664
01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:14.840
Because well, yeah that sometimes the snow I love being

1665
01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:16.520
snowed inside, and sometimes I don't.

1666
01:15:17.399 --> 01:15:19.880
Oh yeah. Does it just depend on if the twins

1667
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:22.880
are in the hallway? Could be? Is the problem with

1668
01:15:22.920 --> 01:15:24.239
the snow for you? Is it that when you see

1669
01:15:24.279 --> 01:15:26.479
the snow falling, like, the part of you is like

1670
01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:29.840
it's beautiful like Christmas, and the other party's like read

1671
01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:32.119
rum no, no, no. The other party is just like,

1672
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:34.640
I'm not going to take the snow off the hood

1673
01:15:34.680 --> 01:15:35.279
of my car.

1674
01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:37.000
I'm not.

1675
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:42.720
Never shared that pub that's on the record for eg

1676
01:15:44.479 --> 01:15:45.640
oh it will so.

1677
01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:47.840
The interiors of Bill Murray's room at The Bed and

1678
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:50.520
Breakfast were filmed at an empty warehouse and carry, Illinois.

1679
01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:52.479
Unlike the scenes for The Bed and Breakfast, the scenes

1680
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:54.800
at the piano Teacher's house were filmed inside the actual

1681
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:56.880
house in front room as it appears in the film.

1682
01:15:57.000 --> 01:15:59.600
Nice and That makes sense because there weren't the sequences.

1683
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:03.039
There were not very long. Yeah, so boring movie crapcs,

1684
01:16:03.119 --> 01:16:05.520
especially when you're shooting on thirty five millimeter. The more

1685
01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:07.359
room you have, the better. It's one of the reasons

1686
01:16:07.399 --> 01:16:09.760
a lot of mainstream movies now are shooting in legitimate

1687
01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:13.399
locations is that they don't need twelve foot high ceilings

1688
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:15.600
to mount the lights. They don't need a grid anymore.

1689
01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:17.640
They'd liked it. Yeah, they don't need it. I was

1690
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:20.279
just watching a piece about the making of a complete

1691
01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:23.920
Unknown Bob Dylan's story. Yeah, and that director photography said

1692
01:16:23.960 --> 01:16:27.640
this was the first film that he shot on this much.

1693
01:16:27.760 --> 01:16:29.399
I'm not going to bore you the technical details, but

1694
01:16:29.399 --> 01:16:33.479
on a camera that's deeply, crazily more sensitive to light.

1695
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:36.960
So he was able to film scenes with just light

1696
01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:39.640
coming in from the window that was actually the sun.

1697
01:16:40.199 --> 01:16:43.000
And he said that he would use a combination of

1698
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:46.319
like a bounce off screen yea, and things like putting

1699
01:16:46.359 --> 01:16:50.359
a white pillow on the bed somewhat near the actor's face,

1700
01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:52.640
with a white pillow would shine a little light at

1701
01:16:52.640 --> 01:16:54.680
his face. For Phil he said it was the craziest

1702
01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:56.600
thing ever. He's like, I was using maybe two lights

1703
01:16:56.600 --> 01:17:00.159
in some of these sequences. But that's crazy because you

1704
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:02.720
look at his film career, which started with stripap to

1705
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.920
Kill Two Live Girls, but you look at his career

1706
01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:09.279
of filming Indiana Jones movies and filming all these incredible films,

1707
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:11.840
and even he's like, it's just a whole new world.

1708
01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:13.800
Now you can really do just about anything you want.

1709
01:17:14.039 --> 01:17:16.640
So anyway, my point is all of that to say,

1710
01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:19.840
since he wasn't like in long drawn out dialogue scenes,

1711
01:17:19.840 --> 01:17:21.199
I can see them being like, let's just shoot it here.

1712
01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:22.439
We can put a couple of lights up and just

1713
01:17:22.520 --> 01:17:24.359
it's not a big part of the movie. So I

1714
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:25.880
like that. I think that's cool.

1715
01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:28.279
In one scene, Connors throws himself from the bell tower

1716
01:17:28.279 --> 01:17:30.359
of a high building. This building is actually an opera

1717
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:32.880
house in Woodstock, Illinois. Local legend has it that a

1718
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:34.720
ghost of a young girl haunts the building as a

1719
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:37.119
girl once fell off the balcony section inside the opera

1720
01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:37.800
house and died.

1721
01:17:38.760 --> 01:17:41.279
Man. Now we're getting a merging of Groundhog Day and

1722
01:17:41.279 --> 01:17:42.560
Happy death Day right there.

1723
01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:44.520
The scene where Bill Murray gets out of the news

1724
01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:46.600
van and talks to the state trooper was filmed on

1725
01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:52.640
Amstit's is Amstutz Amstutz.

1726
01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:52.399
Amstitz That sounds right.

1727
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:57.239
Amstet's Expressway under Grand Avenue Overpass just outside downtown Waukegan, Illinois.

1728
01:17:57.359 --> 01:17:59.720
You can see the Waukegan Business District in some shots

1729
01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:02.159
they Ampstut's Expressway was also used for the filming of

1730
01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:04.039
the big chase scene in The Blues Brothers from nineteen

1731
01:18:04.119 --> 01:18:07.199
eighty Oh Okay, the first and only film directed by

1732
01:18:07.199 --> 01:18:09.720
Harold Ramis to be PG rated by the MPAA. After

1733
01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:13.039
directing EDGR rated comedy such as Caddy Shack Vacation, Ramis

1734
01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:14.920
said he wanted to direct a movie with some slight

1735
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:17.279
edge to it, but as also one that would be

1736
01:18:17.319 --> 01:18:20.520
overall suitable for a family audience. Thus, he insisted for

1737
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:23.319
the film any violence, sexual content, profanity would all be

1738
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:25.239
very mild to secure the PG rating.

1739
01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:27.159
Until he decided to go all in on a family

1740
01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:28.880
film when he made The Ice Storm or Not The

1741
01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:32.039
Extra Ice Harvest. Sorry, two ice movies. I know, and

1742
01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:32.600
that's tough.

1743
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:35.359
Danny Rubin said one of the moments that inspired the

1744
01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:37.640
creation of the story came from after reading the novel

1745
01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:39.880
Interview with the Vampire, which got him thinking about what

1746
01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:41.279
it would be like to Live Forever.

1747
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:43.680
That's a good point because I love that. When you

1748
01:18:43.720 --> 01:18:45.680
dig deeper into Vampire Lord. That was one of the

1749
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:48.359
first places that the creatives went was they were like,

1750
01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:51.479
what about the misery of Living Forever?

1751
01:18:51.680 --> 01:18:54.840
Yeah, Harold Ramis originally wanted Tom Hanks with the lead role,

1752
01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:57.520
but the sighted against it, saying Hanks was too nice.

1753
01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:00.279
I couldn't see him in this. No, no, no, he's

1754
01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:02.680
way too likable, Like, even when he's trying to not

1755
01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:05.359
be likable, he's hard not to like. Like he plays

1756
01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:08.840
the villain of the Elvis movie. Basically, Yeah, I still

1757
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:10.840
kind of liked him. They had to put a lot

1758
01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:12.800
of makeup on him to make him evil, and he

1759
01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:16.279
held his cigar between his two his uh, his middle

1760
01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:18.279
finger and his ring finger he did, which that drove

1761
01:19:18.319 --> 01:19:20.159
me crazy. But then I was like, I bet that

1762
01:19:20.199 --> 01:19:21.159
guy actually did that.

1763
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:23.880
And I genuinely now I'm wondering if Hanks has ever

1764
01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:26.439
really played like a bad guy. But like, I think, honestly,

1765
01:19:27.439 --> 01:19:30.800
one of the closest you can get to would be Elvis,

1766
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:33.960
But second to that might be him as the sleazy

1767
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:35.119
agent in that thing you do.

1768
01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:36.159
Hmmm.

1769
01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:39.119
If not that possibly because I can't remember if he's

1770
01:19:39.159 --> 01:19:39.680
a good.

1771
01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:41.560
Guy or oh he was a killer and Road to Perdition,

1772
01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:42.159
that's right.

1773
01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:43.960
Yeah, he's an assassin, that's right. Oh yeah, I love

1774
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:44.439
that movie.

1775
01:19:44.800 --> 01:19:47.119
And he played an evil CEO in The.

1776
01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:49.359
Circle, Circle, which I haven't seen but i've heard is good.

1777
01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:51.640
Now I'm yeah, Now I'm really curious. Yeah. Bill Paxson's

1778
01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:51.880
in that.

1779
01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:56.359
I think Harold Ramis considered Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Robin Williams,

1780
01:19:56.399 --> 01:19:58.640
Michael Keaton, and John Travolta for the role of Phil Connors,

1781
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:00.800
but he considered them as far you nice compared to

1782
01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:04.000
Bill Murray. Keaton would later co star with Any mcdowon Multiplicity,

1783
01:20:04.039 --> 01:20:05.199
also directed by Ramis.

1784
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:07.399
I like how Ramis is like, no, no, let's go

1785
01:20:07.479 --> 01:20:10.000
with Bill. I know him really well, he's a piece shit.

1786
01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:17.199
Well they didn't talk. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Do You Even? Movie?

1787
01:20:17.279 --> 01:20:27.960
Will be right back, welcome back to Do You Even?

1788
01:20:28.079 --> 01:20:29.880
Movie.

1789
01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:35.119
The song that greets Bill Murray every morning, I've Got

1790
01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:37.239
You Babe, by Sonny and Cher, was in Danny Ruben's

1791
01:20:37.239 --> 01:20:39.359
original script from the beginning. The song is known for

1792
01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:42.520
its seemingly endless, repetitive chorus, which mirrors Phil's predicament in

1793
01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:42.960
the film.

1794
01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:45.079
Oh, that's a good point. I never thought about that.

1795
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:47.600
Chare stated in an interview that fans would send her

1796
01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:49.760
letters saying they loved the song she made for the

1797
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:51.960
movie Groundhog Day, not.

1798
01:20:51.920 --> 01:20:54.479
Realizing a hit in like twenty years, Yeah.

1799
01:20:54.319 --> 01:20:56.680
Not realizing that the song was actually recorded in nineteen

1800
01:20:56.720 --> 01:20:57.239
sixty five.

1801
01:20:57.319 --> 01:20:59.079
She also stated that that'll yeah.

1802
01:20:59.079 --> 01:21:01.319
She stated that the movie helped boost album sales for

1803
01:21:01.359 --> 01:21:02.720
her due to the interest in the song.

1804
01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:06.119
I always forget you can't judge share by looks unless

1805
01:21:06.159 --> 01:21:08.479
you're looking at the painting in her attic. Yeah, you know,

1806
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:10.680
God damn right.

1807
01:21:11.479 --> 01:21:14.399
Harold Ramis incorporated elements of David Letterman and Pat Sajack

1808
01:21:14.399 --> 01:21:16.279
in the opening scene where Phil does the forecast in

1809
01:21:16.319 --> 01:21:19.000
the studio. Both were former weathermen who used to perform

1810
01:21:19.039 --> 01:21:22.399
to launch larger media careers, much like Phil Colner Connor's

1811
01:21:22.439 --> 01:21:23.600
desires at the movie start.

1812
01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:25.479
That's a really great because we were even talking about

1813
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:27.720
Letterman a little bit earlier. Yeah, that little bit of

1814
01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:31.479
a mean streak, which which was when Letterman was coming up,

1815
01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:35.119
was a thing that had launched several careers. Yeah. Ernie Anderson,

1816
01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:38.119
who was Glardie Yep in Cleveland. One of the reasons

1817
01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:40.720
he was so famous is because he had this sardonic

1818
01:21:40.760 --> 01:21:43.880
attitude towards the show itself, which had not really been

1819
01:21:43.920 --> 01:21:46.479
seen very much. He was doing a live show, and

1820
01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:48.479
he would come on and be like, Ah, well, tonight's

1821
01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:51.039
movie it's not good, it's not gonna be a good time.

1822
01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:53.319
I mean, honestly, I'd shut it off, and then he

1823
01:21:53.399 --> 01:21:55.439
used to end. He used to sign off sometimes by saying,

1824
01:21:55.479 --> 01:21:57.359
like when the camera get closed, he'd be like, just

1825
01:21:57.359 --> 01:21:58.840
get out of here before they could see the phony

1826
01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:03.239
Beard Like. He just hated it, and people loved him

1827
01:22:03.399 --> 01:22:05.319
for it, well, especially in Cleveland.

1828
01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:07.520
Yeah, so that reminds me of when Bob just had

1829
01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:09.279
that one broadcast where he just held that candle the

1830
01:22:09.399 --> 01:22:10.000
entire time.

1831
01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:11.399
Oh and looked at the camera. Yep, I actually know

1832
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:13.600
how he did that. Oh he had a candle, but

1833
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:15.920
he also had a piece of incense burning right next

1834
01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:18.479
to it. That way, it had smoke. That's yeah, Yeah,

1835
01:22:18.479 --> 01:22:21.239
I'm smart. But our buddy Bob also known as a

1836
01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:24.840
ghastly ghoul. Yes, he got all kinds of complaints for

1837
01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:29.119
his very offensive ghastly movie show, which did all kinds

1838
01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:33.199
of envelope push them. Yep. Yeah, a lot of envelope

1839
01:22:33.239 --> 01:22:37.840
pushing stuff, incorporating anything from horror films to pornography into

1840
01:22:37.880 --> 01:22:41.680
music videos. He called it video vaudeville. But one time

1841
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:43.760
he decided to do an episode where all he did

1842
01:22:43.960 --> 01:22:47.319
for thirty five minutes was stare at the camera nothing else, Yeah,

1843
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:49.159
just looking at the camera with a candle lighting him.

1844
01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:51.560
And he was like, I bet I'll get complaints, and

1845
01:22:51.560 --> 01:22:53.960
they did. People were like, he's trying to hypnotize us.

1846
01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:56.680
He's trying to whatever. It's not like Bob was not

1847
01:22:57.159 --> 01:23:00.720
suggesting he was satanic. So there you have it. Fay Man.

1848
01:23:00.920 --> 01:23:04.079
Well, the filming the kidnapping Phil scene, Bill Murray spontaneously

1849
01:23:04.119 --> 01:23:06.800
improvised the line don't drive angry, don't drive angry to

1850
01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:08.960
cover the fact that the groundhog, which he was holding

1851
01:23:09.000 --> 01:23:11.399
on his lap, was agitated and trying to escape by

1852
01:23:11.439 --> 01:23:14.159
climbing over the steering wheel. A moment later, the groundhog

1853
01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:17.239
bit Murray's hands so badly he had to seek medical treatment.

1854
01:23:17.319 --> 01:23:19.640
The line would decades later inspire the title for the

1855
01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:22.319
Nicholas Cage action horror film drive angry.

1856
01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:24.359
That's funny, Yeah, okay.

1857
01:23:24.680 --> 01:23:26.600
According to the director hald ramis most of the time.

1858
01:23:26.640 --> 01:23:28.359
When he tried to explain the scene to Bill Murray,

1859
01:23:28.399 --> 01:23:30.600
Murray would interrupt him and ask, just tell me good filler,

1860
01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:31.279
bad Phil.

1861
01:23:31.840 --> 01:23:34.199
Okay, smart? I mean that's I mean he knew what

1862
01:23:34.199 --> 01:23:35.199
he was doing. Yeah.

1863
01:23:35.239 --> 01:23:36.880
The scene where Phil picks up the alarm clock and

1864
01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:38.720
slams it on to the floor didn't go his plan.

1865
01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:41.000
Bill Murray slammed down the clock, but it barely broke,

1866
01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:42.640
so the crew bashed it with a hammer to give

1867
01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:44.079
it like the really smashed appearance.

1868
01:23:44.439 --> 01:23:45.199
Nice.

1869
01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:47.279
Harold Ramis directed the kids in the snowball fights to

1870
01:23:47.359 --> 01:23:49.720
hit Bill Murray as hard as they could. Murray responded

1871
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:51.680
by throwing snowballs back as hard as he could.

1872
01:23:52.680 --> 01:23:55.439
That's beautiful. Yeah, that's truly. That makes me happy.

1873
01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:58.159
All the clocks in the diner are stopped, mirroring Phil

1874
01:23:58.199 --> 01:23:59.079
Connor's predicament.

1875
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:01.279
Oh that's nice. I never noticed that. Ye, yeah, I

1876
01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:02.119
never noticed that either.

1877
01:24:02.239 --> 01:24:04.319
Bill Murray was offered a spit bucket for the diner

1878
01:24:04.359 --> 01:24:06.960
scene where he gorges himself on pastries, but he declined.

1879
01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:09.720
The Angel food cake in particular caused him to feel

1880
01:24:09.760 --> 01:24:11.000
sick soon afterwards.

1881
01:24:11.239 --> 01:24:13.520
I ate a half an Angel food cake by myself

1882
01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:16.840
once in a moment of grief, I remember that, Well,

1883
01:24:16.840 --> 01:24:18.920
you weren't there. I wasn't there, but I heard the story. Yeah, yeah,

1884
01:24:19.399 --> 01:24:21.119
that's that's I mean, that's like Paul Bunyan.

1885
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:24.119
Literally they asked you, is there anything that I can

1886
01:24:24.199 --> 01:24:25.319
that I can bring you or anything.

1887
01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:28.039
If a friend of mine had passed away, and I

1888
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:32.039
had decided to it is terrible to amuse myself because

1889
01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:35.520
I was so shattered emotionally. And this was eleven years

1890
01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:38.840
ago or twelve years ago. Now, I decided that anybody

1891
01:24:38.840 --> 01:24:41.760
who said if there's anything to do, I would ask

1892
01:24:41.800 --> 01:24:44.000
them for something. Yeah. And a friend had said, if

1893
01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:46.119
there's anything you do, let me know, and I said, well,

1894
01:24:46.159 --> 01:24:47.680
I need a twelve pack of diet Coca and an

1895
01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:50.119
Angel food cake. And he was like ha, And I

1896
01:24:50.159 --> 01:24:52.239
was like when can I expect it? Like it would

1897
01:24:52.279 --> 01:24:53.920
be cool if it was like later today or like right,

1898
01:24:53.920 --> 01:24:55.920
I have to get off work, and he was like, yeah,

1899
01:24:55.920 --> 01:24:57.880
I get off at five. I'll I'll be at five thirty.

1900
01:24:57.920 --> 01:25:00.279
So he came to my house with an a Angel

1901
01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:03.359
food cake and a pack of diet Coke and I

1902
01:25:03.439 --> 01:25:05.359
proceeded to sit down with the Angel food cake. I

1903
01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:06.800
had friends over it, and we were all just kind

1904
01:25:06.800 --> 01:25:09.199
of it was almost like sitting shive except not, you know,

1905
01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:12.079
except it was just me and people watching me cry.

1906
01:25:12.439 --> 01:25:16.079
But I sat down, opened the angel food cake by

1907
01:25:16.159 --> 01:25:19.239
myself and started taking handfuls and eating it. And when

1908
01:25:19.239 --> 01:25:21.039
I ate about half the angel food cake with my

1909
01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:23.159
hands and was drinking diet coke to wash it down,

1910
01:25:23.399 --> 01:25:25.199
I then set the cake down said I anybody wants

1911
01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:32.920
any cake please look look you know it in that

1912
01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:36.720
in that moment me, it gave me the levity I

1913
01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:41.119
desperately did because I was grieving so hard. And when

1914
01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:42.640
people would say, like, do you feel bad about that?

1915
01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:43.960
I was like, look, how many times is my best

1916
01:25:43.960 --> 01:25:48.680
friend going to die? Yea how many times? Due I

1917
01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:52.319
do know, but no. So yeah, that's that's my story

1918
01:25:52.359 --> 01:25:54.680
of like I'm a terrible person. But at least I

1919
01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:56.920
didn't I take the snow off the hood of my car.

1920
01:25:56.960 --> 01:25:57.439
There you go.

1921
01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:00.800
When Phil takes the elderly out of the hospital and

1922
01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:02.439
talks to the nurse, a boy with a broken leg

1923
01:26:02.520 --> 01:26:04.119
can be seen in the background. This is the same

1924
01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:05.880
boy who falls out of the tree later in the film,

1925
01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:07.319
only this time Phil catches him.

1926
01:26:07.399 --> 01:26:09.720
There's so many things like that in the movie where

1927
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:11.359
if you look in the background you see things that

1928
01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:13.399
are going to be expanded upon later. I love it.

1929
01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:16.000
Bill Murray and Harold Ramis had both been honorary Grand

1930
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:19.039
Marshals for the Groundhog Day celebrations in pugs of Tani, Pensylvania.

1931
01:26:19.399 --> 01:26:21.159
That makes sense and I would do that too.

1932
01:26:21.399 --> 01:26:23.800
The groundhog ceremony is depicted as occurring in the center

1933
01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:26.039
of town, Gobbler's Knob, where the ceremony takes place in

1934
01:26:26.079 --> 01:26:28.720
real life is rural wooded area about two miles outside

1935
01:26:28.760 --> 01:26:29.439
of Pugsaawney.

1936
01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:30.960
Oh yeah, that makes sense.

1937
01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:34.359
Stephen Tobolowski, Ned the head Ryerson, the insurance agent, was

1938
01:26:34.439 --> 01:26:37.720
Honorary Grand Marshall in Pugsataani, Pennsylvania, on February second of

1939
01:26:37.760 --> 01:26:40.520
twenty ten. During his speech on stage, he performed the

1940
01:26:40.520 --> 01:26:43.039
whistling belly button act, to which he refers to in

1941
01:26:43.079 --> 01:26:43.800
the film.

1942
01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:46.439
Ah That's so good.

1943
01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:48.920
Filming the scene with Ned, Bill Murray noticed hundreds of

1944
01:26:48.920 --> 01:26:51.119
spectators who were viewing the activities. He then went to

1945
01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:53.800
the nearby bakery, ordered five hundred danishes and paid for

1946
01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:56.319
them himself. He and Tobolowski then distributed them to the

1947
01:26:56.319 --> 01:26:57.239
grateful onlookers.

1948
01:26:57.319 --> 01:26:58.720
Oh that's really nice. I like that.

1949
01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:01.000
Danny Ruben and Harold Ramis wanted to add another ned

1950
01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:03.600
Ryerson scene at the last minute, so Tobolowski wrote the

1951
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:06.880
scene where he rattles off numerous insurance policies. Tobolowski based

1952
01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:09.479
his character on his own insurance agent. After the movie's release,

1953
01:27:09.520 --> 01:27:12.159
the agent called Tobolowski to thank him for portraying agents

1954
01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:14.760
so accurately rather than making fun of them as most

1955
01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:15.319
movies do.

1956
01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:17.520
Oh that's really nice. Yeah, I like that.

1957
01:27:17.680 --> 01:27:19.680
The weather tended to change, and since they were filling

1958
01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:21.800
all the time from January until spring, they decided to

1959
01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:24.239
shoot each variation of an outdoor scene back to back

1960
01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:26.680
on the same day, an example being all five versions

1961
01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:30.000
of ned Ryerson's encounter on the same day. Damn, so

1962
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:32.079
the punch, the groping.

1963
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:35.880
Yeah, it makes sense, you know, just get it all

1964
01:27:35.880 --> 01:27:36.800
out right then and there.

1965
01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:38.880
The idea of Phil colin Is reading to Rita Hanson

1966
01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:41.039
while she sleeps came from Bill Murray. His wife drank

1967
01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:43.199
too much champagne on their wedding night and fell asleep early,

1968
01:27:43.239 --> 01:27:45.840
so Murray read aloud to her until he too fell asleep.

1969
01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:48.560
Oh, that's romantic, ash Man, that's so cute.

1970
01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:50.560
Bill Murray was undergoing a divorce at the time of

1971
01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:52.800
filming and was obsessing about the film he would ring

1972
01:27:52.840 --> 01:27:55.439
Harold Ramis constantly off in in early hours of the morning.

1973
01:27:55.600 --> 01:27:58.399
Ramus eventually sent screenwriter Daniel Rubin to sit with Murray

1974
01:27:58.439 --> 01:28:00.800
and iron out all his anxieties, one of the reasons

1975
01:28:00.880 --> 01:28:03.000
Murray stopped speaking to Ramis for several years.

1976
01:28:03.199 --> 01:28:03.680
Wow.

1977
01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:06.760
In the original version the script by Danny Rubin, Phil

1978
01:28:06.800 --> 01:28:09.359
Connors was already trapped inside Groundhog Day at the start

1979
01:28:09.399 --> 01:28:11.199
of the story. We joined him on a typical day,

1980
01:28:11.239 --> 01:28:13.399
with the audience wondering how he knew everything that was

1981
01:28:13.399 --> 01:28:15.880
going to happen. Harold Ramis promised not to change this

1982
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:18.239
aspect of the script, but ultimately decided to do so.

1983
01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:21.920
Huh, yeah, I like it better that we establish it.

1984
01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:25.199
Although it would be interesting to start with the jeopardy scene,

1985
01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:27.279
to start with him just like knowing all the answers

1986
01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:28.840
and then he wakes up in it's the same day.

1987
01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.600
That would be interesting, But luckily a lot of storytellers

1988
01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:35.279
have ran with that concept and done things like that.

1989
01:28:35.439 --> 01:28:35.960
Yeah.

1990
01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:39.000
Early drafts, the script explained Phil Connor's weird experience, a

1991
01:28:39.039 --> 01:28:42.000
disaffected ex lover named Stephanie cast a spell on him

1992
01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:43.880
to teach him a lesson to make sweet love to

1993
01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:46.560
groundhogs all over the land. While reading Charles Dickens while

1994
01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:48.920
covered in shame, it was decided that leaving it out

1995
01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:49.880
made more magical.

1996
01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:52.439
Yeah, I would have to agree. I the idea that

1997
01:28:52.479 --> 01:28:54.079
it's a curse from an ex girlfriend. I mean, at

1998
01:28:54.079 --> 01:28:56.039
that point, it may as well be a gypsy. Yeah too,

1999
01:28:56.199 --> 01:28:56.399
you know.

2000
01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:58.920
Danny Rubens's first draft of the screenplay ended with Phil

2001
01:28:58.920 --> 01:29:02.720
Connor's waiting on February third to discover Rita Hanson was

2002
01:29:02.760 --> 01:29:04.199
trapped in a time loop of her own.

2003
01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:07.600
I mean, I feel like that would probably overcomplicate things,

2004
01:29:07.600 --> 01:29:09.479
but that would have been kind of cool interesting. Yeah.

2005
01:29:09.600 --> 01:29:12.039
Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis both said they avoided exploring

2006
01:29:12.039 --> 01:29:14.119
the truly dark side of Phil's time lapsing, in which

2007
01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:18.760
he would commit psychopathic actions without consequences, the examples being homicide, rape, torture, etc.

2008
01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:21.399
Yeah, that would be a little hard to come back from.

2009
01:29:21.399 --> 01:29:24.439
Have you seen the meme or the comic that came out,

2010
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:26.439
like It's several years ago? That was a Groundhog Day

2011
01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:29.159
deleted scene of him torturing Ned Ryerson, and then in

2012
01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:31.039
the very end he's arrested and he's like, I'll see

2013
01:29:31.039 --> 01:29:31.800
you tomorrow, Ned.

2014
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:34.279
Oh my god, dude, it's dark. If I find it,

2015
01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:34.960
then I'll set it too.

2016
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:35.199
Oh.

2017
01:29:36.399 --> 01:29:38.960
Among the deleted scenes are examples of Phil becoming a

2018
01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:41.520
trick shot pool genius while predicting the outcomes and points

2019
01:29:41.520 --> 01:29:43.720
spreads of various sports events, cutting the heads off the

2020
01:29:43.760 --> 01:29:45.920
ice sculptures, waving at Rita from the street, and her

2021
01:29:45.960 --> 01:29:49.079
pointedly closing the curtains, and becoming a perfect bowler. The

2022
01:29:49.119 --> 01:29:51.640
scene where he discusses his repeating problem takes place in

2023
01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:54.039
the bowling alley, presumably after he bowls in a perfect

2024
01:29:54.039 --> 01:29:55.720
game and is desperately depressed by it.

2025
01:29:56.560 --> 01:29:58.840
I like that. Yeah, that's actually really cool. They're on

2026
01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:01.119
the blue ray shit. Okay.

2027
01:30:01.279 --> 01:30:03.640
Originally Phil Connors was supposed to hunt down the groundhog

2028
01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:05.680
in his lair. However, this was changed since it seemed

2029
01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:06.600
too much like Caddyshack.

2030
01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:08.119
Would I would agree? Yeah.

2031
01:30:08.159 --> 01:30:10.520
When Phil is explaining to Rita his experiences, he says,

2032
01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:13.079
I have been stabbed, shot, poison, frozen, and so on.

2033
01:30:13.199 --> 01:30:15.920
These were all methods used by assassins of Russian's mystic

2034
01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:19.479
Grigory Rasputen, but with the exception of electrocution, we're not

2035
01:30:19.520 --> 01:30:21.800
seen or done to Phil. This could also has a

2036
01:30:21.800 --> 01:30:24.239
reference to Ghostbusters two in nineteen eighty nine, in which

2037
01:30:24.239 --> 01:30:29.119
similar message are named for Vigo the Carpathian. Okay Rita

2038
01:30:29.159 --> 01:30:32.000
Hanson's favorite drink sweet remooth. This was Harold Ramis's idea

2039
01:30:32.039 --> 01:30:33.520
because it is his wife's favorite drink.

2040
01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:36.000
Aw, that's cute.

2041
01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:47.720
Do You Even? Movie? Will be right back. Welcome back

2042
01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:49.000
to Do You Even?

2043
01:30:49.119 --> 01:30:51.640
Movie?

2044
01:30:54.319 --> 01:30:56.239
A scene was shot in which Phil destroys his room,

2045
01:30:56.279 --> 01:30:58.680
slashing pillows, spray panting the walls, et cetera. He also

2046
01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:00.520
shaves his head, then the camera pull back from his

2047
01:31:00.560 --> 01:31:01.960
face to show that his hair in the room were

2048
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:04.359
all back to normal the next morning, but Harold Ramis

2049
01:31:04.399 --> 01:31:06.720
had trouble making the dissolving shot match, so the scene

2050
01:31:06.760 --> 01:31:10.319
was changed to Phil breaking a pencil instead. Shortness Yeah

2051
01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:12.600
you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's brevity. In the encounter

2052
01:31:12.680 --> 01:31:15.279
between Phil Connors and the annoying insurance man nan Ryerson,

2053
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:17.199
Bill Murray was ad libbing when he tells Ned, I

2054
01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:18.920
don't know where you're headed, but can you call him

2055
01:31:18.920 --> 01:31:20.520
sick and causes Ned to run away.

2056
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:22.399
I do love that part.

2057
01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:24.880
In the course of the film, Phil Connors indoors Elizabeth

2058
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:28.520
called the Rosses five stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression,

2059
01:31:28.560 --> 01:31:31.720
and acceptance. Harold Ramis Danny Rubin actually took Ross's as

2060
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:33.880
a model her five Stages of Death and Dying and

2061
01:31:33.960 --> 01:31:36.439
use it as a template for Bill Murray's progress, which

2062
01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:37.920
I picked up on one a recent watch.

2063
01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:39.279
Nice. Yeah, alright.

2064
01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:42.199
In the final shot, Phil Connors carries Rita Hanson over

2065
01:31:42.239 --> 01:31:43.920
the gate and then climbs over it. This is because

2066
01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:47.119
the gate was actually frozen shut. Among the continent and

2067
01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:49.600
the special features, Harold Ramis states that the original idea

2068
01:31:49.680 --> 01:31:51.960
was for Phil to live February second for about ten

2069
01:31:52.000 --> 01:31:55.199
thousand years. Later, he says that Phil probably lived the

2070
01:31:55.239 --> 01:31:57.760
same day for about ten years.

2071
01:31:58.199 --> 01:32:00.800
Yeah, that's what I remembered reading that. That makes it

2072
01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:02.840
a lot less funny. Yeah, that makes it a lot

2073
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:03.439
less funny.

2074
01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:05.680
And finally, the movie was selected in two thousand and

2075
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:08.279
six for preservation in the National Film Registry by the

2076
01:32:08.279 --> 01:32:12.199
Library of Congress for being culturally, historically and aesthetically significant.

2077
01:32:12.960 --> 01:32:15.640
I agree with that decision. For once I agree.

2078
01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:19.039
So what are your final thoughts on nineteen ninety three's

2079
01:32:19.039 --> 01:32:19.760
Groundhocks Come on?

2080
01:32:19.840 --> 01:32:22.560
Groundhog Day is a classic? Yeah, I mean that is

2081
01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:25.239
a by it that should be in your collection. If

2082
01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:27.720
you don't like this movie, I don't know what to

2083
01:32:27.760 --> 01:32:30.199
tell you. Yeah, it's a great film. I mean I

2084
01:32:30.199 --> 01:32:32.600
get maybe some people might find him a little too

2085
01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:35.479
harsh at the beginning, maybe or really get hung up

2086
01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:37.760
on like how awful he was toward women in the beginning,

2087
01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:39.800
but like that's kind of the point of the movie,

2088
01:32:39.840 --> 01:32:43.199
is that he grows, yeah, and he gets better. Yeah.

2089
01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:46.119
Oh, absolutely, I mean it's absolutely a by it. There's

2090
01:32:46.119 --> 01:32:48.439
no way that you cannot own this in your collection.

2091
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:51.600
I think what I really have loved about Groundhog's Day

2092
01:32:51.640 --> 01:32:55.760
on further rewatches is you just get to a point

2093
01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:58.399
with the movie where you know that everything's gonna happen,

2094
01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:01.880
Everything's gonna happen. Yeah, but you are still so enthused

2095
01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:06.000
every time with it because it's just the performance is

2096
01:33:06.039 --> 01:33:10.840
in it. The overall storytelling method of how we do

2097
01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:13.079
the edits and how we only see certain amount of

2098
01:33:13.119 --> 01:33:16.680
days even though ten or ten years is what we're experiencing. Yeah,

2099
01:33:16.720 --> 01:33:19.680
I mean, it's there's just a magic to this movie.

2100
01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:22.760
Oh god, yeah, yeah, yeah, and the irony. Like I

2101
01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:27.840
said earlier, of I could watch it a million times. Yeah,

2102
01:33:27.880 --> 01:33:28.479
boy howdy.

2103
01:33:28.560 --> 01:33:29.920
So we always like to end the show with a

2104
01:33:29.920 --> 01:33:32.640
couple of recommendations. I have two this week, the first

2105
01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:36.840
one being twenty seventeen's Happy Death Day, currently available to

2106
01:33:37.119 --> 01:33:39.439
rent on Amazon Prime. A college student must relive the

2107
01:33:39.479 --> 01:33:41.239
day of her murder over and over again in a

2108
01:33:41.279 --> 01:33:43.520
loop that will only end only when she discovers the

2109
01:33:43.560 --> 01:33:44.399
killer's identity.

2110
01:33:45.319 --> 01:33:47.159
That movie just gets better and better. One of my

2111
01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:49.920
favorite moments I need to show Rachel part two. She

2112
01:33:50.039 --> 01:33:51.960
loved part one. Yeah. One of my favorite moments is

2113
01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:53.359
it's not much of a spoiler. At the end of

2114
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:55.319
the movie. They're sitting in a diner talking and he

2115
01:33:55.359 --> 01:33:58.720
says like groundhog Day, Yeah, and she goes, what's groundhog Days?

2116
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:01.359
Like you've never seen crowdhog? Oh day. It's such a

2117
01:34:01.359 --> 01:34:02.880
great moment. Yeah.

2118
01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:05.000
And then the other one I'm gonna give is twenty

2119
01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:08.239
twenties Palm Springs, currently available on Hulu. Niles and Sarah

2120
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:10.199
find themselves stuck in a time loop and living the

2121
01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:12.399
same day over and over again. They are drawn to

2122
01:34:12.439 --> 01:34:16.439
each other but certain revelations threaten their budding romance. I

2123
01:34:16.479 --> 01:34:19.720
really liked that one. I don't know what because I

2124
01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:22.000
was kind of not super excited for it because I

2125
01:34:22.039 --> 01:34:24.640
was just like, oh, it's another groundhog Day, go figure,

2126
01:34:24.760 --> 01:34:27.159
even though I love Happy Death Day. But no, I

2127
01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:29.319
mean Andy Sandberg in That movie's really good.

2128
01:34:29.479 --> 01:34:33.199
I saw that at the drive in during Lockdown's right, Yeah, yeah,

2129
01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:36.520
and that was a really fun film. I really enjoyed it.

2130
01:34:36.600 --> 01:34:38.520
And the idea of going through a kind of groundhog

2131
01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:42.000
dayish thing but with another person is really interesting. Yeah.

2132
01:34:42.039 --> 01:34:44.239
No, it's super good. What's your recommendation?

2133
01:34:44.359 --> 01:34:47.359
Good sir, I'm gonna recommend. I mean this one, I

2134
01:34:47.479 --> 01:34:49.760
freaking love so much and it's so, in my opinion,

2135
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:52.880
so underrated. And it's twenty fourteen's Edge of Tomorrow starring

2136
01:34:52.920 --> 01:34:55.920
Tom Cruise, and I like, you're acting like you didn't know,

2137
01:34:55.920 --> 01:34:57.359
because you're the one who was like, what about Edge

2138
01:34:57.359 --> 01:34:59.199
of Tomorrow? I was like, fuck, I love that. You're welcome.

2139
01:34:59.239 --> 01:35:01.960
But basically, IMDb says, a man fighting in a war

2140
01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:04.840
against aliens must relive the same day every time he

2141
01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:07.039
dies until he can find a way to stop their

2142
01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:10.079
power source. With the help of an elite soldier. That's

2143
01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:13.680
pretty close to accurate. I mean he's actually playing like

2144
01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:16.720
a paper pusher. Yeah, who has punishment, is forced to

2145
01:35:16.720 --> 01:35:19.560
be a soldier to die basically yep. And one of

2146
01:35:19.640 --> 01:35:21.079
my favorite things is he has to learn to become

2147
01:35:21.079 --> 01:35:25.000
a soldier, and he convinces this woman, another soldier. He

2148
01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:27.199
convinces her that it's really happening so that she'll train

2149
01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:29.800
him by she basically gives him like, if you have

2150
01:35:29.960 --> 01:35:32.960
this information, it'll be like a password that i'll believe you. Yeah,

2151
01:35:33.199 --> 01:35:36.199
So as he's learning and stuff, he would like be training,

2152
01:35:36.279 --> 01:35:38.000
he'd break his arm and she'd be like, that won't

2153
01:35:38.039 --> 01:35:39.760
heal in time for you to keep training? She pulls

2154
01:35:39.800 --> 01:35:41.319
a guy he's like, wait, couldn't we just it just

2155
01:35:41.319 --> 01:35:43.199
shoots him. So there's like all these times where she

2156
01:35:43.279 --> 01:35:46.119
just murders him without a thought. Yeah, because then he'll

2157
01:35:46.119 --> 01:35:48.239
wake up the next day. It's really fun, and like

2158
01:35:48.239 --> 01:35:52.600
I said, it's extremely extremely overrated or underrated or overrated.

2159
01:35:53.159 --> 01:35:55.760
So yeah, I couldn't recommend that one enough. I mean,

2160
01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:57.199
it's such a great flick.

2161
01:35:57.079 --> 01:35:59.840
A lot of fun, and also insanely violent for thirteen.

2162
01:36:00.520 --> 01:36:03.479
Yeah, no, it's it's it's super violent. But it's sci

2163
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:04.439
fi violent. Yeah.

2164
01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:05.840
Great Bill Paxton performance too.

2165
01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:10.439
Yeah yeah, I love that movie. So but yeah, So

2166
01:36:10.479 --> 01:36:14.000
that's that's my recommendation. Awesome, highly highly recommended.

2167
01:36:14.239 --> 01:36:16.760
Well would you like to know what we're talking about next.

2168
01:36:16.560 --> 01:36:18.920
Week on this show? Well, before we do that, okay,

2169
01:36:19.079 --> 01:36:21.560
would you like to first of all see if we

2170
01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:24.520
have an emails? I don't believe we do, but I

2171
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:26.560
always I always check one more time when the show

2172
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:30.239
is recording, just in case nobody loves us. That's that's

2173
01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:32.720
the end of that. But we are trying something new

2174
01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:35.479
on the show. We are where occasionally, so when we

2175
01:36:35.520 --> 01:36:37.720
would record the show. We've been recording the show for

2176
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:40.079
every year now, every now and then, you would just

2177
01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:42.640
off on your little laptop when we were done recording,

2178
01:36:42.680 --> 01:36:44.399
you would pull up and see if you could find

2179
01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:47.640
a Ciscle and Ebert you talking about it, And I thought,

2180
01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:50.840
wouldn't it be cool to listen to that on the

2181
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:53.319
show and talk about it. Yeah, so we're gonna test

2182
01:36:53.359 --> 01:36:55.439
it out, see if you guys like it. We've got

2183
01:36:55.439 --> 01:37:00.119
Ciskel and Ebert talking about groundhog days and well as

2184
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:03.239
as you should. So let's let's give it a listen.

2185
01:37:03.479 --> 01:37:04.159
When we come back.

2186
01:37:04.199 --> 01:37:06.720
Bill Murray as a weather man trapped in a time

2187
01:37:06.800 --> 01:37:13.000
warp in Groundhog Day.

2188
01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:17.319
I hope you enjoyed the festivities. Look at that picture quality.

2189
01:37:17.319 --> 01:37:18.479
I'm so glad that it was.

2190
01:37:20.039 --> 01:37:22.279
Well, we may catch a break and that blizzard's gonna blow.

2191
01:37:22.319 --> 01:37:22.439
Right.

2192
01:37:26.319 --> 01:37:31.479
He was probably gonna never ever predict this Groundhog Day. Yeah,

2193
01:37:31.520 --> 01:37:32.279
it's it's it's.

2194
01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:38.760
Basically unhappy that he's been dispatched to puck Satawny, Pennsylvania

2195
01:37:39.159 --> 01:37:42.159
to cover Groundhog Day. He's the kind of self centered,

2196
01:37:42.199 --> 01:37:45.560
short tempered he get this that makes life miserable for everyone?

2197
01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:47.960
Then something I wonder if he was if he was

2198
01:37:48.159 --> 01:37:51.279
staring at ciscol the entire time he was saying that.

2199
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:53.279
He runs into all the same people and they say

2200
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:55.960
all the same thing. Murray is the only one who

2201
01:37:56.000 --> 01:37:59.079
realizes that time is repeating itself.

2202
01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:05.159
The groundhog Yeah, didn't we do this yesterday?

2203
01:38:05.479 --> 01:38:06.960
This is one of the best scenes in the film,

2204
01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:09.159
as the weather man tries to find sympathy from the

2205
01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:10.479
locals for his dilemma.

2206
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:13.399
What would you do if you were stuck in one

2207
01:38:13.439 --> 01:38:17.119
place and every day was exactly the same and nothing

2208
01:38:17.119 --> 01:38:18.520
that he did mattered.

2209
01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:25.520
Sums it up for me this Miami McDowell, and like

2210
01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:28.760
everyone else, she can't stand. But since he can live

2211
01:38:28.840 --> 01:38:31.000
the same day over and over and over again, he

2212
01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:33.720
can ask people questions one day, you know the answers

2213
01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:36.319
the next. It's a great seduction technique.

2214
01:38:36.399 --> 01:38:37.119
What should we drink to?

2215
01:38:38.840 --> 01:38:42.399
That almost sounded like Ebert was recommending it. Yeah, go

2216
01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:49.039
for it. I wrote a ross Meyer movie. Ah the

2217
01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:55.880
sound is. It's just so wonderful. Crack you drink, jump Ahead,

2218
01:38:56.880 --> 01:38:59.439
a little bit, a good hearted Babel. It sort of

2219
01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:01.640
made me think movies like This's a Wonderful Life.

2220
01:39:02.159 --> 01:39:04.239
Basically, this is a story that plays this is the

2221
01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:08.399
best version over and over until he finally gets it right.

2222
01:39:08.840 --> 01:39:10.840
The film starts out as a comedy, ends up as

2223
01:39:10.840 --> 01:39:13.000
a sort of Babel that Frank Caeper might have directed

2224
01:39:13.039 --> 01:39:14.159
in it.

2225
01:39:14.159 --> 01:39:16.439
It's very It's a Wonderful Life coded.

2226
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:19.800
In addition to the more spiritual side of the film

2227
01:39:19.840 --> 01:39:22.479
that also Bill Murray. It was perfectly designed for Bill

2228
01:39:22.840 --> 01:39:25.840
because he puts down everything all the time in his film,

2229
01:39:26.279 --> 01:39:29.359
here putting out himself until it doubles back on him.

2230
01:39:29.760 --> 01:39:32.880
It's just a good script, the right actor with it,

2231
01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:34.800
and Ramis does a very nice job.

2232
01:39:34.800 --> 01:39:35.840
I like it. Wow.

2233
01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:39.640
Okay, so then there. I guess it was shot in Woodstock, Illinois.

2234
01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:41.880
But it looks like the town, and it's a wonderful

2235
01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:43.239
life for some of those towns.

2236
01:39:45.920 --> 01:39:48.680
I think about that people, and you.

2237
01:39:48.720 --> 01:39:51.159
Get a real feeling for the fact that their normality

2238
01:39:51.640 --> 01:39:56.239
is kind of a cure for Murray's big city.

2239
01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:59.800
That's actually really these guys are pretty good at reviews. Issu.

2240
01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:02.800
They should really stick to that, you know, they should.

2241
01:40:02.840 --> 01:40:04.199
They should do that more often.

2242
01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:05.680
Especially if they're gonna talk about slasher films.

2243
01:40:05.680 --> 01:40:08.119
I bet they love something. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they're

2244
01:40:08.199 --> 01:40:10.960
very kind to the slasher.

2245
01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:12.479
Movie, especially that That's Silent Deadly Night movie.

2246
01:40:12.520 --> 01:40:15.359
I bet they love that. Yeah, yeah, shame, shame, shame.

2247
01:40:16.039 --> 01:40:17.680
So before we get out of here, I do want

TikTok before. I still know. All we were posting was

2279
01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:39.880
the most benign stuff. I think they just knew about

2280
01:41:39.880 --> 01:41:41.359
you and the car hood in the.

2281
01:41:41.359 --> 01:41:44.279

2287

be a next Tuesday. Yeah, and not same Tuesday again. Yeah.

2288
01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:04.600

2290
