Today’s episode is an experimental journey through “Happy Accidents”, the 2000 Marisa Tomei/Vincent D’Onofrio romance. We mixed it up a bit and tried to have some fun with this off-beat, often bad, always bizarre time-travel romantic comedy. Cole watched the first half; Jedd watched the second and we then recorded our guesses as to what happened. Spoiler alert – Cole had no idea. We had a blast trying to dissect where this script was going and what could have been changed to make it work.
Recommendations:
Jedd: Frequency, Timecrimes, Primer, The Accidental Tourist
Cole: Slums of Beverly Hills, Mystic Pizza, Edge of Tomorrow, Happy Gilmore
