Garden State (EP06)
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).
