Knock Knock - Who's There? - It's no joke that we're giving 2002's "Catch Me If You Can" the BFE treatment this week as we're heading all over North America hitching a ride in the JumpSeat. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia - as we're joined by Alex from Main St Finance. We hope you concur that it's a fun 49th episode as we discuss:
- The 22 year journey this film underwent from development to screen
- Some of the initial cast and how this film would look very different if they had made the cut
- We have some disagreements about the quality of the film theme and title sequence
- We try to guess which of the actors/actresses were nominated for their performance
- Is Tom Hanks icky? Really?
- We go off on some diatribes about writing cheques, WalMart, and return addresses on mail
- Is this film pretty terrible to its female characters?
- We discuss whether Frank Jr is a little too into watching his parents be romantic with each other
- Whether or not Catch Me If You Can is the Best Film Ever
