Watch that first step, it's a doozy - This week we're stormstayed in Punxsutawney - with the weather crew from WPBH as we have a look at the Bill Murray-Harold Ramis classic, Groundhog Day.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia - alongside friend of the podcast, Tom from Podjerky (they're awesome, check them out) as we analyse a a case study in life without consequences.  It's a 51st episode that's got you babe, as we discuss:

  • The backstory leading to Danny Rubin's development of the story and how his initial vision was changed by Harold Ramis
  • The falling out between Bill Murray and Harold Ramis that sadly became the stuff of legend
  • What exactly is Groundhog Day?  Why do we celebrate it at all?
  • Why do we forgive Phil?  Should we?
  • Is Andie MacDowell a good actress?
  • How many Schitt's Creek alumni can you spot among the cast?
  • What was one major selling point for Woodstock, IL to be chosen as the reimagined Punxsutawney? 
  • There's a few first casting thoughts for Phil that you're not going to believe, and one that we wouldn't mind seeing.
  • Whether or not Groundhog Day is the Best Film Ever
