(Deep Dive begins at 46:00)


"If you build it, they will come." Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam & B-Tech Kev (Megs got lost walking through the cornfield) – as we step into the world of baseball, nostalgia, and ghostly whispers in Field of Dreams (1989). We’re trading in our hazmat suits for baseball gloves and diving into our 270th episode as we discuss:

  • How Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones, and Ray Liotta bring heart to this sentimental classic.
  • Does this movie work if you're not a baseball fan?
  • Was the mystical element beautifully executed or just overly sentimental?
  • Which actor wasn't actually into baseball
  • How Field of Dreams taps into themes of regret, reconciliation, and belief.
  • Which actor was referred to as 'Richard Dreyfuss from wish.com
  • Is this film overrated just because it's men talking about feelings?
  • How is James Earl Jones at the heart of two of the most Mandela Effected quotes of all time?
  • Did Shoeless Joe Jackson deserve better? What about Moonlight Graham?
  • We've got more ghost physics to talk about
  • We get really personal about our own dreams
  • We talk about magical cornfields, cryptic voices, and the importance of playing catch.
  • Whether Field of Dreams is the Best Film Ever.
