Description

(Deep Dive begins at 31:30 )


We speak for all mediocrities, for we are their patron saint. Join your ragtag fellowship of TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Megs and Kev are in Salzburg) as we're heading back to the last 18th century watch the rise of Wolfgang Mozart and the downfall of Antonio Salieri in the Milos Forman film Amadeus.  We're complaining about too many notes in our 243rd episode as we discuss:


  • Our own knowledge bases of Mozart

  • Do you have to know the story of Mozart to appreciate the film

  • We've got a bit of a therapy session this week as Ian and Liam lock horns

  • Is it possible to overcome a negative first impression of a film? 

  • What is the price of excellence and why is there only room for one great artist of each time

  • Georgia totally misses a friend of the podcast showing up in the 3rd act

  • We talk about whether the film does Costanze fair in the overall narrative

  • Whether or not Amadeus is the Best Film Ever
