"They're called boobs, Ed." Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Megs (B-Tech Kev & Liam are off investigating contaminated water) – as we head to the world of legal battles, corporate corruption, and powerhouse performances in Erin Brockovich (2000). We’re trading in our Edinburgh flat for a tiny law office and diving into our 268th episode as we discuss:

  • How Julia Roberts delivers a career-defining performance.
  • The film’s balance of drama, humor, and real-world impact.
  • Was Albert Finney the perfect counterbalance to Erin’s fiery personality?
  • Which actor really didn't capture the essence of the part for one of us
  • How accurate is the film’s portrayal of the real-life case?
  • Would this movie work as well if it weren’t based on a true story?
  • Does Erin Brockovich deserve to be correct every step of the way?
  • Did George deserve better? What about the real life Jorge?
  • We talk about love languages, princesses, and saying goodbye to a friend
  • Whether Erin Brockovich is the Best Film Ever.
