Believe it or not, watching Groundhog Day this morning was not brought along by an urge to be cliche’.

Actually, in this case it was because I was listening to my recommendation to you for this morning. Obviously, given it’s the rodent’s big day a lot of peeps are going to be watching the Bill Murray classic (one of my favorite movies, to boot) and will be amused once more by Needle Nose himself, Ned Ryerson. Ned is portrayed by Stephen Tobolowsky, a character actor who (it turns out) can tell a hell of a story. The movie Stephen Tobolowsky’s Birthday Party is a fascinating example of a man at ease, telling stories about his life (all true) and entertaining his friends.

It turns out that Stephen now puts out a podcast in conjunction with SlashFilm. The Tobolowsky Files is an entertaining, often amusing podcast that has come out on a regular basis. I’m getting caught up on the podcast and so far, it’s damned good. Take a listen if you can.

Oh, and watch the damned movie today. I mean,  come on.

Out.
