The movie
Show notes
Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are saying YES to life and YES to this week’s movie. It’s the 2008 film by Peyton Reed, Yes Man. This movie makes a good point: stop being a “no” person and start saying “yes” to more things. Who knows what could happen? Maybe you’ll end up at the top of a Los Angeles mountain with a homeless person. Maybe you’ll end up bungee jumping. You might even fall in love with Zooey Deschanel. What a wondrous life that would be, right? And what you’re going to deny yourself the life of a lifetime just because saying yes to more things will put you out of your comfort zone? I’m going to be Terrence Stamp in this movie and bonk you over the head with a microphone. BONK! There, do you have more sense in your head now? More of an adventurous spirit? You should. Take Jim Carrey (in this movie), for instance. He was living a miserable life, even if he didn’t want to admit it to himself. He was going nowhere until he decided to say yes to everything that was asked of him. His entire life changed! I can’t promise you that you’ll get promoted at your bank job, save Luis Guzman from jumping off a ledge, learn Korean, and live a fun life with Ms. Deschanel. But I also can’t promise those things won’t happen. Think about it and say yes to more things… (Recorded on November 19, 2021) Links to Stuff We Mentioned: Yes Man - IMDb Yes Man trailer - YouTube Jim Carrey - IMDb Zooey Deschanel - IMDb Bradley Cooper - IMDb Rhys Darby - IMDb Terence Stamp - IMDb John Michael Higgins - IMDb Blockbuster LLC - Wikipedia Hollywood Video - Wikipedia Blockbuster CEO Passed up Chance to Buy Netflix for $50 Million - Business Insider Saw (2004) - IMDb Cary Elwes - IMDb Jigsaw (2017) - IMDb Tony Robbins - Wikipedia NXIVM - Wikipedia Allison Mack - Wikipedia Happiest Season (2020) - IMDb Aubrey Plaza - IMDb Kristen Stewart - IMDb Malcolm McDowell - IMDb Harry Potter - Wikipedia Miles Morales - Wikipedia Master Chief (Halo) - Wikipedia Jumanji: Welco
