Episode 52 – Groundhog Day (1993) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Ever had an embarrassing situation that you wish you could relive? Ever wanted to live a day unencumbered by fear of consequences or death? This week we watched two movies that propose just such a scenario, and the outcomes are not as free of worry or existential concerns as you would think.  Apparently, immortality has its own drudgeries.  We discuss the curious cases of Phil Conner and William Cage; two men reliving the same day over and over again.  One repeats the mundanity of February 2 again and again, while the other fights the same battle against alien hordes repeatedly like an over-caffeinated 14 year-old playing Call of Duty.  Collin's back this week for reviews, grades and a round of one good thing, one bad thing.
