Well isn't this a happy accident? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan (Georgia and Megan are out chasing $5 bills) as we're looking for signed copies of "Love in the Time of Cholera" as we review "Serendipity." We're laying down in skating rinks in our 161st episode as we discuss:
- Just how tight the vote was to select this week's film
- What is it about John Cusack and why did it take us 161 films to get to him
- Ian floats an idea for a social event
- Who initially was offered the Kate Beckingsale role
- Ian talks about the longest bus ride he ever took
- Which of us are romantics in the group
- Ian has a follow-up on the great Podbean debacle
- We reveal what the next Reel Roundtable will be
- What's appropriate when visiting sites of tragedy? Is it ethical to visit such sites as tourists?
- Ian plays old guy giving young guy advice about the world to Ethan
- How bad is Hallie ripped off in this film?
- Ian finds an easy way that John Cusack's character could have made this film a lot shorter
- Why does so much of this movie happen off-screen?
- Whether there is such a thing as too much Eugene Levy
- Whether or not How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is the Best Film Ever
