In the movie universe...

Do you...hate your date?

It breaks my heart into smithereens. They performed it at the Grammys one year and Neil Diamond's acting during the musical number is a hundred times better than in the Jazz singer!

Me4.

Mine is Sweet Caroline, because I'm basic. I really liked America from the movie. After watching the movie, I checked if he's still touring, but it apepars he's only doing Australia next year.

Mine was "39-52." I was like 'oh I see where this is going.'

My favorite Muppet is (was?) Gonzo when I was a kid. Now...his chicken fetish is a turn-off.

^ I LOL'ed so hard

The part I liked was: Louise's game is on fleek.

Well, that makes sense. Some consider ET the best Jewish movie ever made.

OT question. Does Neil Diamond wear sparkly shirts on stage because he has to shine bright like a...diamond?

Unless there's a lot of money involved.

Speaking of the baby, I feel like Bubba must have been there for Molly during her pregnancy and after the birth of the child. So much that Molly named her baby after Bubba's favorite musician, Charlie Parker. (Or so I imagine)

This reminds me of the ham scene! Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall the gang discussing this on the podcast. Molly serves a dinner of ham, like a cartoonish big ham, for just 2 people and then Neil Diamond and Molly have an entire conversion with only facial expressions. He's all "I can't eat this pork product, I'm Jewish" and Molly's like "whoooooops!" But by this point they've shacked up, right? Are you saying that Neil Diamond didn't know that Molly was cooking an entire ham? I suppose he could've just come home to a ham dinner, but wouldn't he have seen a giant ham in the fridge before this? I would also like to ask if it's normal to have an enormous ham and then just a side salad of lettuce and cherry tomatoes for dinner? I love ham as much as the next person, but don't people usually serve other side dishes with a ham?

Does anybody know which Jewish denomination/religious movement the Rabinovitches belonged to?

Please tell me Sweet Caroline is in this.

I thought I heard one of the aunties say Balraj was a barrister and that Balraj and Darcy met at Oxford.

They might have made Darcy an American hotel owner (?) so that there was a reason for Lalita to run into him at Kholi's wedding. That's all I've got.

My litmus test is, did the Darcy in question make me swoon?

Oops, my bad! I thought they were a married couple, but Wikipedia says they only dated.

^ That's Aishwarya Rai's first husband, FYI.

At the wedding, Darcy tells his sister: Is it an insult to call someone a coconut? Or is this another nod/wink to Bollywood? What does it mean?

Next week on The Canon, they're doing The Room (2003) with Paul!

She said she agreed to it in the few articles I saw, but even in print she sounds she was reluctant.
