Groundhog Month: Recent Episodes
Shitass McGee
okay campers, rise and shine and don't forget your existential dread cause its time for GROUNDHOG MONTH, a philosophically minded podcast exploring the cyclic nature of time and human mortality through repeated viewings of a Bill Murray movie. Join hosts Ethan Williams and Bradford Sonnenberg daily for the entire month of February as they attempt to watch Groundhog Day every morning for 30 days in a row.
I don't know why Ethan was so insistent on doing this terrible idea. I'd just skip this one if I were you.
I thought, well, that's it, Brad. You watched groundhog day 30 times in one month. You're not you anymore. You'll never be you again. But then you wake up the next morning and you're still you. And you realize: that was you all along. You just didn't know.
When Chekov saw the movie Groundhog Day, he saw a film bleak and dark and bereft of hope.
you either die an obnoxious life insurance agent with poor ability to read basic social cues, or live long enough to see yourself become an omnipotent groundhog
so you run and run to catch up with the sun but its sinking
racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
shorter of breath and one day closer to death
