(Deep Dive begins at 30:50)
We don't watch and analyse films because it's cute. We watch and analyse films because we are members of the human race. Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and Megan (Georgia is in detention) as we're heading to a dark cave in the middle of the night to trade snacks, play saxophone, and read from Five Centuries of Verse in the film that's crack for teachers, Dead Poets Society. We're seizing the day in our 229th episode as we discuss:
Just how responsible is Mr Keating for what happens to Neil
Does the film have a happy ending. How do we know what the director wants us to think?
Liam asks a lot of questions from a student's perspective. Ian & Megan try to answer them from a teacher's perspective
Why did Robin Williams no-show the first day of shooting and how did Touchstone/Disney react?
How did Disney want to change this film and who saved it from some truly terrible notes
We ask if this is Robin Williams' finest film and/or performance
There's a couple of hiccoughs in the signal this week
Whether or not Dead Poets Society and the Last Crusade is the Best Film Ever
