I agree with most of P&A's take on Forrest Gump, but something struck me while listening to the episode. This movie has a lot in common with one of my all-time favorites - Being There. Both films follow "slow" characters who stumble into situations they can't really comprehend. IMO, Being There is a much more focused and better satire.

Hey. I'm a Fan of Do the Right Thing, though it has been a while since I've seen it. Just wanted to note that the clip you played - the story about Right Hand (love) and Left Hand (hate) is a direct homage to the great film, Night of the Hunter, in which the same story is told. In Night of the Hunter, the character telling the story actually has the words "Love" and "Hate" tattooed on the fingers of his right and left hands. Love the podcast.
