One-Shot Wednesday

On Wednesdays, guess the Chicago-based movie or television show from one screenshot. 

The Weather Man

The Weather Man is a 2005 American comedy-drama film directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Nicolas Cage. The film follows the story of David Spritz (Cage), a local television weatherman in Chicago who is going through a mid-life crisis.


In the film, people throw food—like McDonald's pies!—at David to ridicule him and illustrate their dissatisfaction with his job as a weatherman.


Perhaps the food-throwing also symbolizes the public's own discontent with life in general?
