Episode 222 - Say Anything (w/ Special Guest: Hermes Auslander)

(Deep Dive begins at 47:30)

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
