For this show I wanted to sometimes find critically/historically loved films that I knew that the panel generally wasn’t going to necessarily like, or at least appreciate it for its artistic purposes, if not necessarily subjectively like it. That is the case for this episode of The Heartbreak Kid. So, join me, Courtney, and Mike as we discuss this 1972 comedy written for the screen by Neil Simon, directed by Elaine May, and starring Charles Grodin, Cybil Shepherd and Jeannie Berlin.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!!

Content Warning: This film is rated PG, and would probably be PG-13 if released today. Topics include infidelity, adult content, sexual content, adult language, misogyny.

Quote of the week

“When the sun is coming up/And the world has come ashore/If you’re hoping for a harbour/Then you’ll find an open door/In the winter, from the water/Through whatever’s in the way/To the ones who have come from away/Welcome to the Rock!”

~ “Welcome to the Rock”, from Come From Away, Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
