Hello Princess!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian and Ethan, (Liam,  Megan, and Georgia are otherwise engaged with musical dress rehearsals) as we review the multiple Academy Award winning Italian Film, La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful). Join us for our 197th episode as we discuss:

• If this film steers into existing stereotypes
• What it means to look on the bright side of things even when it seems at its darkest
• Whether this film has a certain marmite quality
• Whether certain things should be hands-off in regards to fictional representation or humour?
• We shortlist this film for at least one end-of-year BFE award
• We reveal the film we'll be reviewing for our annual Halloween choice
• Whether or not Life is Beautiful is the Best Film Ever
