The hopes and dreams of a common man are as noble as those of any king. Why shouldn't it be the stuff of theater? There's a few people in New York hopefully our numbers are growing who feel we have an opportunity now to forge something real out of everyday experience. Create a theater for the masses based on a few simple truths. Not on some sharp worn abstractions about drama that don't hold true today if they ever did.
Philosophers can be funny and funny movies can be philosophical. David and Tamler welcome frequent VBW guest and arch-enemy of empathy Paul Bloom to discuss their five favorite comic films with philosophical/psychological themes. Groundhog Day was off-limits for our top five (we would've all chosen it) so we start by explaining why it's the quintessential movie for this topic.
