Episode 144 - Snatch - a podcast by Movie Podcast

from 2022-10-18T01:00

:: ::

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
