When you wake up, well you know we're gonna be, we're gonna be the pod that did a couple of charcoal sketchings of you while you sleep. We know at almost 4 hours this episode might come off a little over-indulgent but this charming little film asks some big questions of its audience. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Megan (Georgia and Ethan are off searching for Tapioca pudding) as we're headed to Spokane, Washington to practice our Buster Keaton routine in Benny & Joon.

When you wake up, well you know we're gonna be, we're gonna be the pod that did a couple of charcoal sketchings of you while you sleep. We know at almost 4 hours this episode might come off a little over-indulgent but this charming little film asks some big questions of its audience. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Megan (Georgia and Ethan are off searching for Tapioca pudding) as we're headed to Spokane, Washington to practice our Buster Keaton routine in Benny & Joon. We're playing poker for unusual stakes in our 169th episode as we discuss:
- Why Aidan Quinn wasn't the first actor cast as Benny
- Why Mary Stuart Masterson wasn't the first (or second) actress cast as Joon
- We try to figure out a diagnosis for Juniper as it then asks some deeper questions
- We ask if Sam is merely dim or if he's missing a diagnosis that would help answer these questions
- We talk about Buster Keaton, who he was and his influence on film in general
- We ask some questions about when you're allowed to enter the room of a sleeping guest
- We talk about how this rocketed The Proclaimers to One Hit Wonders across the United States and a lot of other places around the globe
- Liam is interested in the musical genre charts of other countries around the globe
- Ian finds it a little bit harder to get mic time this week
- Whether or not Benny & Joon is the Best Film Ever
