Jerry and Marge Go Large (2022)

Brothers in Armchairs

Today's show is a discussion and review of Paramount Plus exclusive JERRY AND MARGE GO LARGE.
Ever wonder what it would feel like to win the lottery? How about what it would feel like to KNOW you’re going to win the lottery? Well, Jerry and Marge Go Large is based on the true story of Jerry Selbee, who retired from the Kellogg’s Cereal factory after 42 years and had no idea what to do with himself, and his wife Marge Selbee, who up until Jerry played the state lottery lived a very normal life as a homemaker and grandmother. One day, Jerry came across a brochure for a state lottery game Winfall. Jerry, being good at math, a statement used in the movie as a comedic bit as Jerry is obviously a math whiz, figures out that there is a flaw in Winfall and it might be possible to net a guaranteed win if he bought enough tickets.
In 2018, journalist Jason Fagone wrote a fantastic super long article on the Selbee’s, which was adapted into our feature film today. So let’s get into the film adaptation of the amazing life of the everyday average retirees Jerry and Marge in JERRY AND MARGE GO LARGE.
