Episode 144 - Snatch

What do we know about diamonds?  Not much but we know that we love to review a Guy Ritchie film.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Ethan, and Georgia, as we're bouncing between New York and London in search of a diamond the size of a fist while dodging bullets and any man who keeps a pig farm. All bets are off in our 144th episode as we discuss:

• What exactly is a circular narrative and how does Snatch present itself as one
• How did Brad Pitt manage to get himself in this film?
• Why did Vinnie Jones miss a key scene and why didn't we notice
• Who was the first choice for Brick Top (you're not going to believe this)
• Why was the title almost changed for the US market
• We talk about North America's ignorance to the traveler community and what that may have meant to the film's success
• Has Jason Statham ever stopped playing Turkish?
• Ian tries to remember where Dennis Farina is from
• Which member of the cast had to be recast after the original actor ended up turning violent?
• Is this Guy Ritchie's Best Film?
• Whether or not Snatch is the Best Film Ever
