Episode 54: Groundhog Days Part 1: Edging Tomorrow
Update: 2024-02-01
Description
Do you think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow? That's right, woodchuckers, it's Groundhog Day! And subsequent movies inspired by Bill Murray's attempts to escape eternity in February 2nd. Instead of true remakes, Dan and Keith delve into how Groundhog Day popularized the time loop, and how the genre worked its way from magical romcom through multiple other genres and back to romcoms. In this instalment, we move from Murray and the groundhog to Franka Potente reliving a tense 20 minutes in Run Lola Run, to Tom Cruise living, dying, and repeating in Edge of Tomorrow. What tropes are introduced? How do the Germans do it better? Do time loops just work with everything? Listen in!
