Well isn't this a happy accident? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan (Georgia and Megan are out chasing $5 bills) as we're looking for signed copies of "Love in the Time of Cholera" as we review "Serendipity." We're laying down in skating rinks in our 161st episode as we discuss:


  • Just how tight the vote was to select this week's film

  • What is it about John Cusack and why did it take us 161 films to get to him

  • Ian floats an idea for a social event

  • Who initially was offered the Kate Beckingsale role

  • Ian talks about the longest bus ride he ever took

  • Which of us are romantics in the group

  • Ian has a follow-up on the great Podbean debacle

  • We reveal what the next Reel Roundtable will be

  • What's appropriate when visiting sites of tragedy?  Is it ethical to visit such sites as tourists?

  • Ian plays old guy giving young guy advice about the world to Ethan

  • How bad is Hallie ripped off in this film?

  • Ian finds an easy way that John Cusack's character could have made this film a lot shorter

  • Why does so much of this movie happen off-screen?

  • Whether there is such a thing as too much Eugene Levy

  • Whether or not How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is the Best Film Ever
