Show notes
Jack and Nora are joined by comedian Heidi Regan to discuss #8 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Groundhog Day. In this episode, Nora wants to steal your fries, Jack is secretly sleazy, and Heidi is not a scientist. Get to Punxsutawney, find your Rita, and let’s break out of this time loop!
Topics include:
- Andie McDowell’s hair
- Rachel McAdams repeatedly falling in love with time travelers
- Being the Christmas ghost you want to see in the world
–
Mysteries we still haven’t solved:
- Can you develop an addiction while stuck in a time loop?
