Description:

Guys like us, who work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we're trying to rustle up $600 to buy a house to change our lives in the Depression Era literary classic, Of Mice and Men. We're turning down offers of ketchup in our 142nd episode as we discuss:

  • The status that the source material has both in the UK as well as the US
  • What literary theatre experience changed Ian's life
  • We find out that Ethan has a very particular skill that we knew nothing about
  • Just how involved was Gary Sinise in the production of this film
  • Is it harder to analyse a film when we're so familiar with the source material
  • Is it possible for a gunshot to be silent? 
  • Liam's got a grudge against John Malkovich that you have to hear to believe
  • Ian's got a theory on how Liam views films and questions him on it
  • Whether Curley's Wife is stripped of her nuance in this production
  • We fix the ending so its much more powerful
  • Whether or not Of Mice and Men is the Best Film Ever
