Can one misstep taint an entire film?  That's the question of this episode.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Megs is still Master Building somewhere else while Ethan is missing his own Valentine's nomination) as we tackle our Valentine's Day Patreon Vote winner, Crazy, Stupid, Love.  We're shooting our shot in our 213th episode as we discuss: 

  • The foods and drinks we have when we're not feeling well
  • Georgia discusses if you have to agree with 'pick-up' culture to appreciate this film
  • Liam might just be putting himself in the movie ALL REVIEW LONG
  • We need to talk a couple of people off the ledge in some mini-therapy sessions this week
  • We've got another precocious child going on this week
  • Georgia and Ian literally argue about the millilitres in a bottle of pop
  • Whether or not Crazy, Stupid, Love is the Best Film Ever
