Laughing through a Breakup | Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Manage episode 312919384 series 3252806
There is one thing true to all relationships… Breakups are never fun when they occur. Even the most amicable of severed ties can be stressful and depressing for all parties involved. Through the avenue of storytelling breakups can be made a little bit easier when we can laugh at someone else’s misery. That is the main topic of this episode of Parallel Quest through discussing the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The guys talk about this 2008 film as well as the challenge of home repairs, smoothies we don’t like, the challenge of trying to sleep, and other interesting things that happened in the year 2008.
