We declared The Big Sickâstarring Zoe Kazan and Kumail Nanjiani in a fictionalized version of Nanjianiâs real-life love story with his wife, writer Emily Gordonâone of our best movies of the year so far here at The A.V. Club. And now the Michael Showalter-directed romantic comedy is making its debut on DVD and Blu-ray so you can watch it while snuggled up on the couch with someone you love, whether or not theyâre also your Uber driver.
As they often do, the Big Sick comes with special features for its home video release, like the deleted scene from the film weâre debuting exclusively below. In the clip, Kumailâs brother Naveed (Adeel Akhtar) decides to embarrass him with an X-Files trivia game while the family is visiting with Khadija (Vella Lovell), one of the many eligible young Pakistani women Kumailâs mom (Zenobia Shroff) keeps inviting over for dinner in hopes of arranging a match. And who could resist such encyclopedic knowledge of X-Files episode descriptions? (Heâs right on the money, by the way.)
The Big Sick is out on DVD and Blu-ray today, September 19.
