(Deep Dive begins at 51:20)


Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian and Ethan (we cut Megan, Georgia, and Liam for the runtime) as we're joined by BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander as we head to Catholic School in 1968 Brooklyn in the dramatic powerhouse Doubt. We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander and we're flip-flopping across the wave of subtext as we try to figure out what's being said without being said throughout this one.  We're counting feathers in our 203rd episode as we discuss: 


  • Why is Meryl Streep as highly regarded as she is

  • Some of the clever tricks done by cinematographer Roger Deakins to keep us in the dark

  • How star power can affect the viewing of a narrative regarding allegiance to a character

  • Discussions about authority and how to exercise that authority

  • Confirmation bias and how the same piece of information can fulfil two competing ideologies

  • Whether or not Doubt is the Best Film Ever
