Palm Springs - In A Nutshell

In this episode we break down Palm Springs without spoilers (at first!), uncover hidden details, and debate whether this modern time-loop tale is a comedy classic or just another wedding disaster. Plus, Paul reveals why it became his lockdown comfort movie, Darren dives into the film’s deeper themes of meaning and monotony, and Marc shares what surprised him most about it.

🔹 Where to watch (Palm Springs is available on Hulu in the US and on Amazon Prime & Sky Cinema in the UK).

🔹 Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic scores – did critics love it as much as audiences?

🔹 Behind-the-scenes facts: The insane Sundance record it broke, how long Andy Samberg might have been stuck in the loop, and the secret mid-credits scene you might have missed.

Join us as we decide: is Palm Springs worth your time, or are you better off escaping the loop? 🎙️
