At long last, and after only about 20 minutes of ranting about current events, Bobby and Jordan finally do their long-awaited deep-dive breakdown of the movie Groundhog Day… and make some commentary on on other exciting time-loop movies. This was a fun episode.

Weighing of the Heart
If you do not accuse each other, God will not accuse you. If you have no accuser you will enter heaven, and if you will follow the revelations and instructions which God gives you through me, I will take you into heaven as my back load. If you will not accuse me, I will not accuse you. If you will throw a cloak of charity over my sins, I will over yours–for charity covereth a multitude of sins. What many people call sin is not sin; I do many things to break down superstition, and I will break it down

My 8 years old daughter wanted to watch this movie. Out of the blue she asked to watch it, since she had seen it before. Once the movie was over, she asked, why did the day repeat? I constrained myself in giving her the long “mind virus show” point of view explanation. Sorry gents!! I only said…”Phil was given a chance to make the best of himself. The day was repeated over and over until he became the best version of himself”. Another great show Jordan and Bobby!
