Episode 105 - Encanto

We're going to talk about Encanto this week but is it possible to do that without talking about Bruno? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia as we review Georgia's pick and our newest film we've ever reviewed. We're waiting for our gift in our 105th episode as we discuss:

• The future and economics of cinema
• Are we ready to go back in mass crowds
• We share a bit about Bob Saget
• Ian gushes about Pop Tarts
• We question what exactly is magically alive in this film and what isn't
• Somehow we link this film to Extreme Makeover
• Why is the house such a jerk in this film?  Why is the family?
• Who gets forgiven FAR too easily in this film
• Does this film borrow from a lot of other films?  Is it too much?
• Does this movie get the ending wrong?
• Why do we cry at movies? We analyse the possibilities
• Whether or not Encanto is the Best Film Ever
• We also find out Reverend Bruce's pick for next week as he prepares to join us for The Endgame
