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
