On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are going on the most life-changingest, girl-meetingest, deep-pit-lookingest road trip of our entire lives in the 2016 film from Rob Burnett, The Fundamentals of Caring.

Don\\u2019t you just hate it when your life falls apart around you? Your beloved son dies, your partner leaves because of the strain of the aforementioned death, and now you\\u2019re dodging lawyers intent on hunting you down and serving you papers. Mondays, am I right?

Turns out Ben Benjamin (yep, that\\u2019s the character\\u2019s real name) hates that that, too. In an effort to combat his crushing loneliness and depression, he takes a course on how to become a certified caregiver. In doing so, he meets the acerbic, sarcastic, some would say \\u201casshole\\u201d Trevor.

Trevor is confined to a wheelchair and has just about had it with the world. At least, that\\u2019s the fa\\xe7ade he puts on to keep everyone from getting too close to him. Ben isn\\u2019t having any of his nonsense, and instead, gets Trevor out of the house and on a journey to see \\u201cthe world\\u2019s deepest pit.\\u201d

They meet the sardonic Dot, a young woman hitchhiking her way out of her own problems. If you think Trevor isn\\u2019t going to fall in love with Dot, then friend, you need to see more movies. Luckily, you\\u2019re listening to the right podcast. We hope you enjoy this witty, heart-warming film as much as we did.
