141. Father of the Bride (1991)

About this episode

The hosts discuss the 1991 comedy classic Father of the Bride, exploring its themes, characters, and the new format for the podcast.

This week on Inside Quotes, Jeremy and Jonathan revisit the 1991 comedy classic Father of the Bride starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and Martin Short. We talk about what makes this movie such a comfort watch, why Steve Martin absolutely carries the chaos of this film, and whether Father of the Bride truly deserves “staple movie” status. Along the way we dive into the movie’s music, set design, memorable characters, behind-the-scenes trivia, remakes, and Steve Martin’s legendary filmography. Oh… and Jonathan got married?!?!?! We’re also trying out a brand new format for Inside Quotes! From now on, we’re putting every movie through the ultimate movie test to decide once and for all… Is it actually a staple? Let us know what you think of the new format! ——— Merch: Inside Quotes T-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and mugs!https://www.teepublic.com/user/inside-quotes Follow us on Instagram:@insidequotescasthttps://www.instagram.com/insidequotescast Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@insidequotescast Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@insidequotescast Artwork by Bryce Bridgeman:@Groovybridgehttps://www.instagram.com/groovybridge/ Questions, comments, or…
