Description:

Get ready for some conversations about if you like apples.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia (Megan's trying to pick up a retainer in a job interview) as we're headed to MIT in search of a Fields Medal in Good Will Hunting.  We certainly won't be unoriginal in our 188th episode as we discuss:

  • Matt Damon and if he is the greatest actor of our time
  • The various ways you can interpret the title and if the name of the protagonist ruins it
  • Georgia checks in with which scenes made her cry in this film (it's not a short list)
  • Why is Sean Maguire's freak-out so powerful
  • Who did the studio want to play the Will & Chuckie parts instead of Matt & Ben?
  • Who did Matt & Ben see playing the Sean Maguire role when they wrote it?
  • What practical joke did Damon & Affleck play on the studios to see if they wrote the script
  • Who is the unlikeliest hero of ensuring this film got made with Matt & Ben in the lead roles
  • There's another good coda this week
  • Whether or not Good Will Hunting is the Best Film Ever
