For this very first episode of 2 Dads 1 Movie, Nic and I had the same dilemma that all dads have, at least those looking to have a hobby, or a creative outlet, or a personal life: finding the time. So even though we decided to embark on this nostalgiafest together back in December, what with the holidays, a business trip, and family outings long in the planning, it wasn’t until February 2nd that we found the time to sit down across a table in Nic’s office conference room and record.
And, well, at least that made the choice of film kind of self-evident. If we’re going to be recording on Groundhog Day, might as well talk about the film Groundhog Day.
This one was fun to look back at, as I think all the movies we choose for the podcast will be. But boy, does so much of this film age poorly. It’s hard to root for a guy like Phil Connors, whose first instinct when he realizes he’s experiencing the same day over and over is to see how best to manipulate an attractive woman into having sex with him.
Yikes.
Nic and I discuss this and many other ramifications of time loops, plus we dive in to what other media you might recognize several cast members from (hint: if you love “Schitt’s Creek”, pay attention) and just generally discuss what it was like to revisit this classic after so many years.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
