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.
