Overview

Average student and eternal optimist Lloyd Dobler seeks to capture the heart of Diane Court, a beautiful but unattainable valedictorian classmate. He surprises just about everyone - including himself - when she returns the sentiment. However, Diane's divorced, over-protective father soon begins to disapprove of the match, and Lloyd realises that it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.

Would you believe that someone else is to blame for the runtime on a Hermes episode?  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcaster, Ian & Liam (Georgia, Ethan, and Megan have all won fellowships) as we're the keymaster at a Seattle house party while trying to pick-up the brainiac in the Cameron Crowe/John Cusack film Say Anything. We're joined by very special guest,  BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander, and we're disussing kickboxing form in our 222nd episode as we discuss: 

  • What is the proper way to throw a kick at a heavy bag?
  • We continue to hear the modem sound when Liam tries to access our back catalogue
  • Ian shares a story of his one academic shortcoming growing up
  • Hermes continues his one man revolution against the Gif of the Week game
  • Ian postulates that this film isn't about Lloyd Dobler at all
  • Ian tries to explain to Liam that he can't keep track of which episodes other people have missed
  • The trappings of large sized products when we'd probably be satisfied with a medium sampling
  • We share a story about spicy food and Meg's lack of concern when dishing out sampling
  • Whether or not Say Anything is the Best Film Ever
