No, Bill Murray fans
aren't experiencing deja vu — 1993's
Groundhog Day has come to home video before. Exclusive to its recent Blu-ray debut, however, is
a special intermittent picture-in-picture bonus track narrated by
Stephen Tobolowsky, who memorably plays Ned Ryerson, an enthusiastically deranged insurance salesman and old high school classmate of Murray's sardonic, stuck-in-a-time-loop weatherman. The good-natured, 57-year-old character actor pops up in character throughout the film and narrates “weatherman style,” offering up trivia tidbits and quizzing viewers on their own knowledge of the film.
Tobolowsky didn't need much prodding on the reminiscences, either, as he shares in
this interview tidbit from H Magazine.
Groundhog Day on Blu-ray is currently available via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for a SRP of $28.95.
