Episode 162 - The Wedding Singer

We're the ones with the microphone so you will listen to every word we have to say. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Ethan's on a flight to Vegas) as we're writing the chorus to our song post-breakup in The Wedding Signer. We're losing our minds for your benefit in our 162nd episode as we discuss:

• What is it about Adam Sandler that is so appealing to the masses?
• Who was brought in as a script doctor for this film
• Is Drew Barrymore the only character that's unaware she's in the 1980s?
• We talk about baseball and the issues with accessibility for Brits with the game
• Ian shares a story about why you shouldn't task teachers with dramatic roleplays on training days
• Ian turns the gif of the week contest on its head
• Is this film strangely similar to the one we did last week?
• We go through a heck of a 1980s soundtrack
• We discuss a complicated journey through gender by Alexis Arquette
• Whether this was the first film to wax nostalgic about the 1980s
• There's a scene that's got this as the favourite for a few resties
• We share some horror stories from our experiences on long-haul flights
• Whether or not The Wedding Singer is the Best Film Ever
