Meet the Parents (2000) with Hannah Harquart

Jack and Nora are joined by actor and theatremaker Hannah Harquart to kick off Fockvember by discussing Meet the Parents. In this episode, Nora advocates for “good breeding”, Jack cannot sanction your buffoonery, and Hannah has categorically never shit the bed. Hook up your lie detector, don’t overpack your carry-on, and let’s impress our in-laws!

Topics include:

• The version of this movie that almost existed (starring Jim Carrey and directed by Steven Spielberg)
• Pre and post-9/11 filmmaking
• Cat-related wedding shenanigans

–

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Is a planted seed acceptable as a gift?
• Should Pam have just married Kevin, actually?
