Taking Hugh for Granted

Nine Months

Listen on

Episode notes

In today's episode, Oscar and Diggory review Hugh Grant's first ever Hollywood blockbuster, Nine Months (Chris Columbus, 1995). There's certainly plenty to sink their teeth into in this episode, including Robin Williams' dreadful Russian accent, Hugh's ostentatious piercing and that infamous incident that took place in Los Angeles just a two weeks before Nine Months' release. 

Plush San Francisco apartment, sports car, friends, family and girlfriend, Samuel Faulkner (played by Hugh Grant) has the perfect life. That is, until he finds out his girlfriend Rebecca Taylor (played by Julianne Moore) is pregnant. Now, commitment-phobe and expectant father Faulkner might have to change his lifestyle for better or much, much much worse.
