GroundPod Day 2025! Happy Groundhog Day!
Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today! It’s Groundhog Day, and you know what that means! It’s the return of your favorite annual podcast, GroundPod Day! Just like every year, Joe, Andrew, Nicole and Mav return to do a deep dive analysis of a fan favorite film… so long as that film is the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. On this year’s episode, we ponder existential questions about Phil Connors’ morality. Is he really becoming a better person? Is just being a hero or is he trying to play god? Is he just bored? We compare Groundhog Day to other media properties that do groundhog days. And we also talk about the idea of escaping time loops and the metaphysical ramifications of rebooting the world every day. How would you address things if you hit your own personal groundhog day? And as always, we talk trivia and answer listener mail. That, and whatever else happens to come to mind in the process of talking about it. You’ve heard the show before. You know how we do it! Same thing every year, right? Well, maybe not. What have we been up to since last year’s show? What do we have to say this year? Listen and find out and then let us know your thoughts in the comments! See you next year! And every year after that. Same Groundhog Time! Same GroundHog Podcast! Citations and Links: * Check out our sister podcasts: * VoxPopcast * The Protagonist Podcast * Disney Animation Minute Essentials
