Episode 28 – Get Hooked by Catch & Release

Life is messy…love is messier.

Today we are talking about not a Kevin Smith film but a film with Kevin Smith in it. The 2006 film written and directed by Susannah Grant is the tale of Gray played by Jennifer Garner whose husband dies just before the beginning of the film. She spends the rest of the film trying to figure out a hidden part of her would have been husband’s life. She also redefines what a family is and who she wants to be in it. 

Gray: My girlfriends and I used to have a rule that we wouldn’t sleep with a guy until we knew his mother’s maiden name.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

-The introduction of the film through the use of “show don’t tell”

-The constant gag throughout of Sam’s quotes from the tea box

-We saw glimpses of Silent Bob in this film as well.

-The massive head smack at 42:11 of Sam in the kitchen. After many rewindings we still can’t figure out how they did it. 

Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts.

And a special shout out to Geoff who looked up and Susannah Grant was born in New York and has not spent time in Boulder (according to her Wikipedia). Settle this for us won’t you Susannah and thanks Geoff.
