#234 – Comet | Directed by Sam Esmail (with Rolo Tony)

Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony) regains his seat at the 2CC table for a dive into Comet, the 2014 romance movie about a relationship that starts with a chance meeting at a meteor shower and then stretches on through a parallel universe or two over a six-year timespan. Drawing connections between this film and (500) Days of Summer, Dell putting on such a Sherlock Holmesian air, the sci-fi tinge of this tale, and the roles that time and memory play in its nonlinear narrative stand out as some of the topics for this episode.

Written and directed by Sam Esmail, Comet stars Justin Long, Emmy Rossum, Kayla Servi, Eric Winter, and Motown Maurice.

Spoilers start at 30:55
