Contrary to the common advice for online dating, this time the magician gets the girl! Fall is here and we're feeling the vibes of sepia tone Vienna. The Illusionist is about the love affair between a duchess of Hungary and a young boy who wants to be a musician- I mean magician. Brennan had a really hard time making that distinction this week. We discuss conjuring, magic tricks, paranoid princes, and a tree that just suddenly disappears. Mostly we just talk about how much we love Paul Giamatti, the anchor of this Romeo-and-Juliet-gone-right story.
We must stress, SPOILERS are in abundance. If you want to enjoy the podcast, watch the movie first.
