Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast.

Me, my bailiff Jesse Thorn.

This week we're in the Judge's chambers clearing the docket, and here I am.

Alongside the King of the Robes, Judge John Hodgman.

Jesse, it's nice to see you. I hope you had a good Groundhog day or are looking forward to same,

depending on when this comes out.

In the course of my day that I repeat over and over and over every year.

Yeah, I'm having or will have or did have my annual Groundhog Day brunch,

which is a five day brunch where everyone has to reenact the same conversations and wear the same clothes.

It's kind of torture.

Judge Hodgman, what is worse in your opinion?

People telling you that actually Groundhog Day is a really deep movie about philosophy

or people telling you that actually die hard as a Christmas movie.

People are telling me that die hard as a Christmas movie because it's obvious on its face and needs no further explanation.

Also, I think Groundhog Day is a great movie. It's a great Chris Elliott movie.

That's how I think of it.

It's cool.

Yeah, Chris Elliott is so great.

I love an admire Chris Elliott.

Remember when he was on the David Letterman show as Marlon Brando,

and then he did something called the banana dance.

Banana dance.
