We're finally diving into the time capsule that is 2004's Garden State. The writing and directing debut of Zach Braff, the film stars Braff as a depressed actor who returns to his Jersey home to attend his mother's funeral. Once there, he reunites with former friends and maybe meets the love of his life (played by Natalie Portman in an urtext manic pixie dream girl mode) who helps him reevaluate his life. The film was a Sundance sensation and unleashed a gangbusters trailer package, igniting the love of young cinephiles, if not the Academy.
This episode, we discuss what about the film has aged poorly and its place in Fox Searchlight's very busy 2004. We also talk about the film's incredibly popular and definitive soundtrack, Portman's performance and career up to her first Oscar nomination, and Jackie Hoffman's brief performance in the film hilariously singing Lionel Ritchie.
Topics also include the personal stages of life we were in when we first saw the film, how gross it is to share headphones, and Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling winning Best Kiss.
