In this episode, we’re exploring the infinite abyss with the 2003 Zach Braff indie darling GARDEN STATE.
After Pops admits he stole from it back when he was a film student (4:22), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with a pre-Big Bang Theory Jim Parsons (9:07). We discuss the famous soundtrack (15:46), why the movie helped us understand our younger selves (19:31), and get into how Peter Sarsgaard and Jean Smart elevated their characters (25:39). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with Natalie Portman as the original Manic Pixie Dream Girl (31:11) and Braff’s wildly erratic performance (33:22). We examine Method Man’s peep show hotel (39:18), continue down into the quarry (41:33), and wonder why we should be caring about Largeman’s problems at all (51:53).
