After having watched the film “literally figuratively” 100 times together — by my count, at least 37 — the “ostensibly non-religious” Stephen Goldmeier and I sit down to talk about Harold Ramis’s 1993 classic comedy Groundhog Day in terms we’ve never really articulated to one another even over all that time. Along the way we talk philosophical and religious interpretations of the movie, philosophical and religious interpretations of the term “post modern”, and the comfort and camaraderie of ritual, religious or otherwise.
