While You Were Sleeping – ep 64 – 1995
Summary: Join us in this "While You Were Sleeping" podcast and have yourself a Sandy New Year! America’s Sweetheart Sandra Bullock stars in “While You Were Sleeping” as a lonely woman who saves a handsome stranger from getting hit by a train, then pretends to be engaged to the guy after he falls into a coma. That’s creepy! But it’s Sandy Bullock, so it’s also charming and adorable.<br> <br> <br> <br> “While You Were Sleeping” takes place in Chicago,<br> <br> and the movie makes sure you know it by showing literally every distinguishable exterior of the city as many times as possible. In fact, “Chicago” is a more prominent character in the opening act than Bill Pullman, who stars as coma guy’s brother/Sandy’s one true love. Once Pullman movie gets in the movie though, prepare to be charmed out of your pants. He’s a freaking dreamboat, folks!<br> While You Were Sleeping Podcast: Is this a holiday movie?<br> <br> <br> Most of the movie takes place the week after Christmas, and a few significant moments happen on New Year’s Eve/Day, including the sudden awakening of coma guy (Peter Gallager, in full goober mode) and the rom-com antics that follow. So why aren’t you watching this movie around the holiday season? Stop watching “Love, Actually,” you monsters! This movie is better!<br> <br> In our Sandy New Year 2020 episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, Tyler and Angela discuss the white-hot Bullock-Pullman chemistry, the extensive supporting cast of old folks, oversized sweaters and the film’s magic trick of an ending. Seriously, this is a movie about a diabolical liar/stalker, and you want to marry her anyway.<br> Old Millennials are also watching:<br> <br> Uncut Gems (2019)<br> Bombshell (2019)<br> <br> Marriage Story (2019)<br> <br> <br> American Factory (2019)<br> <br> Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator (2019)<br> <br> Related episodes to the While You Were Sleeping podcast<br> <br> The Net (1995) - Our Sandy New Year episode from 2019<br> <br> Also from “While You Were Sleeping” director Jon Turtletaub:<br> <br> 3 Ninjas (1992)<br> Cool Runnings (1993)<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
