Episode 137: We'll Be There For You #6 - The Pallbearer

Episode 137 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell discuss movies of any year, any genre and any quality. It's their M.O.

For the final time - at least for this miniseries - We'll Be There For You as the Friends-related discussion reaches its ultimate destination with David Schwimmer starring as THE PALLBEARER! Tom is asked to give the eulogy of classmate Bill Abernathy but there's a problem - Tom doesn't remember Bill at all. He's also distracted by the re-appearance of his high school crush Julie, played by Gwyneth Paltrow.

With an excellent cast and a somewhat melancholy approach to the romcom, does this early effort from blockbuster director Matt Reeves hit the spot? Your hosts discuss comedies which lean into the cringe factor of everyday situations, they look at the obvious comparisons to The Graduate and dig into a movie which may not be trying to alienate its audience but might end up doing anyway.

Also, as it's the final film of this miniseries, Hayley and Darren rank the movies covered from worst to best. If you've been listening over the last few weeks, it probably won't come as a surprise when you find out what's been picked as the worst one. 

Tom may not remember Bill, but we have the unforgettable Mitch Bain on board, supplying us with our tunes. You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
