Hello Princess!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian and Ethan, (Liam,  Megan, and Georgia are otherwise engaged with musical dress rehearsals) as we review the multiple Academy Award winning Italian Film, La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful). Join us for our 197th episode as we discuss:


  • If this film steers into existing stereotypes

  • What it means to look on the bright side of things even when it seems at its darkest

  • Whether this film has a certain marmite quality

  • Whether certain things should be hands-off in regards to fictional representation or humour?

  • We shortlist this film for at least one end-of-year BFE award

  • We reveal the film we'll be reviewing for our annual Halloween choice

  • Whether or not Life is Beautiful is the Best Film Ever
