Episode 236 - (500) Days of Summer
Manage episode 430290292 series 3290675
(Deep Dive begins at 15:35)
It's always about measuring expectations so they line up with reality, am I right? Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Megan and Georgia, as we're heading to Los Angeles and violently yo-yoing between loving us and hating the world in the indie darling, (500) Days of Summer. We're doing choreographed dance sequences with animated birds in our 236th episode as we discuss:
- The significance of the birthday equinox
- Who gets over break-ups easier, men or women
- How do peeps feel about karaoke
- Have we ever been on the hook for someone? How much responsibility does the one holding the other on the hook have to smarten the other party up
- Ian goes 5 levels deep on a seemingly nothing scene inside Ikea (where were the meatballs?)
- In what ways has this film aged terribly in just 15 years?
- We discuss the trope of the manic pixie dream girl and how realistic this really is
- What fingerprints from our last episode (When Harry Met Sally) did we see in this film?
- Whether or not (500) Days of Summer is the Best Film Ever
