Episode 80 - The Notebook

What do you want?  We hope it’s a film podcast because that’s what we’ve got for you.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as Ellie’s pick sends us to South Carolina 6 decades apart with The Notebook.  I’ve got more notes in my notebook than Duke does in our 80th episode as we discuss:

• Who was lined up to play the parts of Noah and Duke in earlier treatments
• The early chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams (or lack thereof)
• We discuss the role of Allie’s mother and if she’s just a one-dimensional villain or if there’s more there
• Just exactly how much story is there in this film
• Is this the best Nicholas Sparks adaptation
• Georgia uses her fake-doctor credentials to ask some questions about the film’s finish
• Is it still nepotism if it totally pays off?
• We discuss the costumes to some degree and someone was not a fan
• Do we prefer Britney Spears or Christian Aguleira (trust me, this is relevant)
• Whether or not The Notebook is the Best Film Ever
