Dad Does Rom Coms: Recent Episodes
Christian Lee - DadDoesRomComs
Rom Coms from a Dad's perspective. New podcast episodes every week. Hosted by Christian Lee (@DadSews) and featuring @dDannyCameron.
This week Christian and Danny are having a bit of a love-fest over the classic DARK Rom Com, 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.
Christian nails down the reason some confused viewers hit the wall on this one, so give a listen if you need to quickly explain it to your friend or significant other.
Synopsis: The second feature from director Michel Gondry (Human Nature) finds the filmmaker reteaming with screenwriter Charlie Kaufman for this off-the-wall romantic comedy. Jim Carrey stars as Joel Barish, a man who is informed that his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their relationship erased from her brain via an experimental procedure performed by Dr. Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson). Not to be outdone, Joel decides to have the same procedure done to himself. As Mierzwiak's bumbling underlings Stan (Mark Ruffalo) and Patrick (Elijah Wood) perform the operation on Joel -- over the course of an evening, in his apartment -- Joel struggles in his own mind to save the memories of Clementine from being deleted. Kirsten Dunst, David Cross, and Jane Adams also star.
