Palm Springs is a cinematic gem that went under the radar in 2020. Released at the height of the pandemic, it's an uproariously funny time loop movie, centering on a man stuck at a miserable wedding.
When said man, Niles played by Andy Sandberg, mistakenly drags a fellow guest into the unending cycle, the real fun begins.
Like Groundhog Day, Palm Springs is very much about our lead characters—the aforementioned Niles and Sarah played by Cristin Milioti—discovering what's truly important in life. Their chemistry and the hijinks they get into are the driving force of the movie.
Throw in an incredible supporting performance from JK Simmons as Roy, and you've got a recipe for one of the best films of 2020. Watch it! Then watch it again like it's the same day you first watched it. It's that damn good.
Now, sit back, get holly and jolly with an Alpha Klaus from Three Floyd's Brewing, and be on the lookout for Roy! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Capt. Cash, and Bling Blake are brushing up on our quantum physics to escape this desert purgatory!
