Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Remembering Jason Segel's Dick
About this episode
The episode discusses the romantic comedy 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and its themes, characters, and connections to other works.
DOWN IN THE DUMPS This week on Podstruck: A Rom-Com Rewind, we close out our collection of break up romantic comedies with the Jason Segel 2008 romp Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This Judd Apatow produced comedy doesn't shy away from meandering for the sake of hilarious bits, even though his initial writing advice was not focused on the comedy. Chelsea and Elena also dive into the great divergence of Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell who honor the old brunette vs. blonde trope, the connection that this movie has to Broadcast News, how Mila Kunis' on-set jet ski accident cost her a role in another film, and the douches we've both dated (inspired by Russell Brand's d-bag rock star Aldous Snow). It's a movie stacked with hilarious side characters proving there's a reason we can never forget Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
