Description:

If I had words to make a day for you - that certainly sounds like the prayer of the podcaster.  This week we're headed to Hoggett farm for a healthy dose of charm, heart, and optimism to bring 2020 to a close. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we put a bow on the prize-winning Australian export, Babe. It's a carnage-free post-Christmas 46th episode as we discuss

  • How many words did James Cromwell have to memorise to play the part of Famer Hoggett
  • Ian talks about missing the forest for the trees sometimes
  • Some of the panel discover a surprising link between Babe and Shrek that they hadn't considered
  • We talk about the Jim Henson link to this film
  • Is this the best film with talking animals that Hollywood has ever made?
  • There's some confusion about both the time and place of the setting of Babe.  There's a lot of inconsistencies.
  • We dissect what exactly is going on with that dancing scene between Farmer Doggett and Babe
  • There's some great discussion about cinematography in a film that absolutely could have mailed it in
  • Ian has some thoughts about how hard it is to convey a feeling of absolute warmth to an audience in a post Nirvana world
  • Whether or not Babe is the Best Film Ever
