Never was there a tale of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia - as we review arguably the most popular Shakespeare adaptation of all time in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. We're all applying to be co-writers in our 94th episode as we discuss:
- Our feelings towards Romeo and Juliet as a play
- How easy it is to get a co-writing credit
- How do each of us feel about Luhrmann's hyperreal style of filmmaking
- If this is anyone's favourite Luhrmann film?
- We all lose our minds trying to say the name of a specific actor
- Ian goes mega-English-teacher on this one
- We try and discuss the difference between fate and free will
- Which actor steals a key scene by not saying a word
- Just how far does Georgia's face blindness go
- Ian proposes contextual reasons to justify Lord Capulet's freakout in the 2nd act of the film
- Whether or not Beetlejuice is the Best Film Ever.
