We're the ones with the microphone so you will listen to every word we have to say. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Ethan's on a flight to Vegas) as we're writing the chorus to our song post-breakup in The Wedding Signer. We're losing our minds for your benefit in our 162nd episode as we discuss:


  • What is it about Adam Sandler that is so appealing to the masses?

  • Who was brought in as a script doctor for this film

  • Is Drew Barrymore the only character that's unaware she's in the 1980s?

  • We talk about baseball and the issues with accessibility for Brits with the game

  • Ian shares a story about why you shouldn't task teachers with dramatic roleplays on training days

  • Ian turns the gif of the week contest on its head

  • Is this film strangely similar to the one we did last week?

  • We go through a heck of a 1980s soundtrack

  • We discuss a complicated journey through gender by Alexis Arquette

  • Whether this was the first film to wax nostalgic about the 1980s

  • There's a scene that's got this as the favourite for a few resties

  • We share some horror stories from our experiences on long-haul flights

  • Whether or not The Wedding Singer is the Best Film Ever
