We've got some opinions on this one!!!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, Megan, and Georgia (when was the last time we were all here?) as we're heading to Miami while avoiding reststops, hitchhikers, and many of the jokes in this film as we reviewed There's Something About Mary.  We're trying to avoid the policeman crawling through the window in our 182nd episode as we dicuss:

  • Our favourite Blink 182 songs
  • Ian revisits his feelings on Cameron Diaz
  • Who did the studio want in the role of Ted even less than Ben Stiller
  • Whose agent turned down the role of Mary on behalf of their client?
  • Ian explains the structure of how a joke is made and then provides caveats
  • Georgia and Megan share some casting news of their own
  • Ian and Liam share stories about their own recent drama event
  • Whether or not There's Something About Mary is the Best Film Ever
