Description:

Never was there a tale of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia - as we review arguably the most popular Shakespeare adaptation of all time in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.  We're all applying to be co-writers in our 94th episode as we discuss:

  • Our feelings towards Romeo and Juliet as a play
  • How easy it is to get a co-writing credit
  • How do each of us feel about Luhrmann's hyperreal style of filmmaking
  • If this is anyone's favourite Luhrmann film?
  • We all lose our minds trying to say the name of a specific actor
  • Ian goes mega-English-teacher on this one
  • We try and discuss the difference between fate and free will
  • Which actor steals a key scene by not saying a word
  • Just how far does Georgia's face blindness go
  • Ian proposes contextual reasons to justify Lord Capulet's freakout in the 2nd act of the film
  • Whether or not Beetlejuice is the Best Film Ever.
