Summary

 If you’ve ever woken up and thought, “Haven’t I read this newsletter before?”—don’t worry, you’re NOT trapped in a Groundhog Day-style time loop (as far as we know…). But we did just release a new episode where Jason and Nate relive every hilarious, existential, and oddly sinister moment of the 1993 comedy classic, Groundhog Day. 🌲 Episode Recap: Groundhog Day Audio Only Here’s the scoop: Ever wondered what happens when you trap a grumpy weatherman (Bill Murray) in a blizzard and 24-hour time loop? Spoiler: plenty of confusion, makeout sessions, and possibly demonic insurance agents. Jason dives deep into the “Groundhog Day plot holes” (Nancy disappears and reappears like a woodland spirit—what’s up with that?), while Nate explores important theories like: “Is Ned actually the devil?” We’re not saying yes, but we’re not saying no. There’s also an alarming realization that if you repeat a day long enough, you too could earn a medical degree, learn French, play piano like a pro, and possibly manipulate an entire town into thinking you’re a saint. Neat… and kinda scary. Wild Theories, Classic Jokes & Epic Shoutouts We cover it all: Is it Phil’s day that has to go “right”—or could the universe just be waiting for Ned Ryerson to finally sell his life insurance policy? Did Bill Murray rock the Clint Eastwood look? (Spoiler: Yes—cowboy hats tip to him) Why does the Groundhog get treated better than most humans, and is there an actual science to the "see your shadow = six more weeks of winter" biz? Our answer: probably not. Hot Takes from Listeners (and Us): “Worst movie ever made.” —Unimpressed Reviewer “Why isn’t this 100% on Rotten Tomatoes?” —Fervent Fan (and Jason’s new best friend) Both Jason and Nate agree: Andy McDowell is a national treasure and, yes, attractive enough for this or any other time loop. 🎧 Listen now, share with a friend, and let us know in the comments: Would you embrace a time loop? Or just eat all the donuts in Punxsutawney? Catch you next Monday on Trees in Space—unless we’re stuck in yesterday, again. (And again. And again.) Tree-mendously yours, The Trees in Space Team 🌳🪐 P.S. Got a movie for our next review? Hit reply! We love suggestions almost as much as we love ice sculptures and existential dread.
