Goodnight Rita, A Groundhog Day Deep Dive - Episode 3

In episode three of the series we dive into each of the principle characters in the movie Groundhog Day, listing what we learn about them and trying to place them in the context of Phil's journey. Groundhog Day is an unusual film in several ways when it comes to character. It has a relatively small main cast but a lot of secondary characters we see many times. Only Phil can learn and grow, due to the loop, but we as an audience can still learn so much about everyone involved...
