the groundhog day project

minute 26 of #groundhogday is relatively simple, but this episode gets into the weeds, with input from Rubin, Ramis, Tobolowsky, and me as to whether or not a particular scene was actually shot.

phil can't handle his second report--and neither can larry--there's still no hot water, and telephone company customer service wins by hanging up in #groundhogday minute 25.

phil's going through it and rita is a hands-on producer in #groundhogday minute 24.

phil's an empty suit, ned always be selling, and the pennsylvania polka is a metaphor for the whole #timeloop experience in #groundhogday minute 23.

#groundhogday crowd size, phil sign girl, ned again and phil plays the game, and i get into a rant about my morning routine and how long it might take to notice i'm in a time loop... in minute 22.

the cherry street set, making fun of mrs lancaster, and getting to work on time... #groundhogday minute 21.

the universe puts a spell on phil, phil assaults man in hallway, and i get briefly sidetracked by the italian remake of #groundhogday in minute 20.

mrs lancaster doesn't take the bait, the day begins again and phil takes notice in #groundhogday minute 19... and i get into a rant about people who try to calculate how many days phil spends in the loop.

errant snow shovels, foxy sweaters, and a distinct lack of apologies, #groundhogday minute 18.

dubbed voices, minute 17 proclamations of theme, interruptions and disruptions, and i forgot to ask 'who the hell is phil even calling?' in #groundhogday minute 17.

they should be broadcasting live (and getting b-roll) but they are not, and phil makes choices but doesn't want to live with thme. it's #groundhogday minute 16.

the inner circle is silly, phil is unprofessional, and channel 9 pittsburgh's coverage of #groundhogday in minute 15 is seriously lacking.

also, i totally neglected to mention the upside down blizzard sign.

phil's bad at his job, rita's good at her job, phil's good at his job, larry's bad at his job, and phil's bad at his job in #groundhogday minute 14.

ned wins, rita wins, sean german is wrong, phil is late, and i make a new observation in #groundhogday minute 13.

ned and phil are still talking, and there's mention of mary pat connors and sandy ryerson but what there isn't in this episode is me latching onto that phrase 'single premium life' as a metaphorical recommendation by ned as to what phil should be looking for (especially in the time loop) in #groundhogday minute 12.

phil vs ned ryerson... or how to put phil in his place by just talking more than he does in #groundhogday minute 11.

phil vs mrs lancaster... or all the ways to be an ass in #groundhogday minute 10.

dj banter, dogs, lamps, navigating woodstock/punxsutawney, ken hudson campbell as chubby man, seeing famous people in public, and watching them film part of halloween ii... #groundhogday minute 9.

phil's rude, rita's in charge, and phil wakes to "i got you babe" on february 2nd at the cherry street inn in #GroundhogDay minute 8.

visually mapping the town square for later, rita handling phil, and the mixed up drop off order in #groundhogday minute 7.

rita's wholesomeness, blood sausage, heidi 2 vs it's a wonderful life, and more creepy lyrics in #groundhogday minute 6.

the opening song 'weatherman'  lyrics (and romcoms)--sweet or creepy? the road to punxsutawney, and the dynamics of larry and rita and phil in #groundhogday minute 5.

the versions of rita, rubin's original script, kenny's job, rita's job, pittsburgh, and #groundhogday minute 4.

hibernation; stephanie decastro cursing phil; sex and violence, siskel and ebert, and slasher films; putting people in their place... #groundhog day minute 3

phil's introduction, good at his job and fun to watch, plus the first goof of the film... minute 2 of #groundhogday.

cheesy clouds, disagreeing with waze, blogging about groundhog day, a documentary idea, and minute one of #groundhogday.

Finishing up that one blog entry about IMDb goofs in #GroundhogDay... then another (short) entry with a few more goofs not on IMDb.

i obsess about the heights of van and truck and bridge and then continue into the blog entry about imdb goofs for #GroundhogDay.

I recap my war with the IMDb goofs page for #GroundhogDay, and start to re-fight this war all over again. So, I guess that in itself is the #TimeLoop of the Week.

what were ned, phil, rita, and larry like in high school? also, a sort of #TimeLoop of the Week: The Other Side of Yesterday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hxznZLWzn4&pp=ygUbdGhlIG90aGVyIHNpZGUgb2YgeWVzdGVyZGF5)

#GroundhogDay

Minute 11 of #GroundhogDay introduces us to Les Podewell as Old Jensen and Stephen Toblowsky as Ned Ryerson, we also take a brief look at IMDb goofs, plus Hamlet, and #TimeLoop of the Week: Turn Back the Clock (1933).

We welcome new listeners in time for the holiday then we explore Minute 10 of #GroundhogDay, in which Phil interacts with Mrs Lancaster for the first time.

A long sidenote on the names for every character, including the ones you don't know have names, in #GroundhogDay.

footnote: i found it after releasing this episode... i had managed to read the ER nurse's nametag at some point. It says A. Broadbent, RN.

a blog entry about choices made, moments worth repeating, and maybe the futility of wanting to change things.

#GroundhogDay

this is me performing the DJ bits from the movie and from the musical, plus all those versions themselves. enjoy.

#GroundhogDay

Phil wakes himself up with some cold water while DJ and Sidekick do their thing, then Phil meets Man in Hallway and we take a look at the life and career of Ken Hudson Campbell.

#TimeLoop of the Week: The Lazarus Project

#GroundhogDay

From Benesh to Izod to Jung to Nietzsche, the connection between dreaming and viewing (and reexperiencing) a film. #TimeLoop of the Week: Loop (2019).

#GroundhogDay

Drifting from Benesh into Izod gets me sidetracked by Wonder Woman and the #TimeLoop of the Week is politics, there's almost no mention of #GroundhogDay and I picked the wrong entry for Izod so that discussion in more detail will have to wait.

A one-off episode that starts with suggesting that sometimes life is its own #TimeLoop of the Week, then gets into critiquing a guy who watched #GroundhogDay every day for a year and only wrote one article about the experience.

Continuing my critique of Benesh with the digestive metaphor and the resperation metaphor in #GroundhogDay. Plus: #TimeLoop of the Week: Day Break.
