Can the perfect relationship begin and end in one night? How about the perfect podcast episode? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, and Ellie (Georgia got pulled into passport control) - while they traverse the streets of moonlit Vienna as Hot Film Summer continues with Liam's 2nd pick of the summertime in Before Sunrise. It's a mix between romanticism and cynicism in our 83rd episode as we discuss:
- The inspiration behind the film, including a melancholic footnote
- How much adlibbing were the actors allowed in this film
- Which member of the BFE crew is afraid of flying?
- Why is Jesse so cynical when he's having the most magical night of his life?
- How important is career to us in the face of love?
- Ian waxes nostalgic about the fashion and overall aesthetic of the 90s again
- Liam chooses a random word that will go do in infamy
- We push the button mid-pod on someone who makes a mistake in the middle of the review
- What does it mean to be a good feminist? Can you still be a feminist and fall head-over-heels in love with a man?
- Ian discusses how this film lines up with other Linklater films
- We pitch ideas for a 4th film in the series
- Whether or not Before Sunrise is the Best Film Ever
