In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 1993 American fantasy comedy film "Groundhog Day" directed by Harold Ramis and starring Bill Murray as the character Phil Connors, a cynical and egotistical weatherman, who after covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, becomes trapped in a time loop which forces him to repeat the same February 2 over and over again. The film also stars Andie MacDowell as Rita Hanson, a new television producer who Phil Connors falls in love with and who is integral in freeing Phil from his repeating cycle of reality, Chris Elliot as Larry the cameraman - as well as a plethora of other wonderful and well-known actors, such as: Stephen Tobolowsky as Ned Ryerson, Brian Doyle-Murray as Buster Green, Maria Geraghty as Nancy Taylor, Angela Paton as Mrs. Lancaster, Rick Ducommun as Gus, Rick Overton as Ralph, Robin Duke as Doris the waitress, and director Harold Ramis (Bill Murray's Ghostbusters co-star) also cameos as a neurologist who Phil goes to seeking an answer to his predicament. The film is a hilarious, lighthearted, critically-aclaimed comedy that is a favourite film of many that tells the story of someone is has to find a way to accept his shortcomings, so that he may change his ways, transform and become a better person for repeating the same day, doing the same things, seeing the same people, over and over again, and ultimately learning what makes life truly meaningful.
