| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Michael and welcome to Beyond the Screenplay, the podcast where each week we do a conversational deep dive analysis into a film. |
| 0:13.8 | Today we are talking about Amelie, the 2001 film written by Guillaume Laurent and directed by Jean-Pierre-Gene. |
| 0:21.4 | I'm joined by the Beyond the Screenplay team, Trisha Arand. |
| 0:24.7 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:25.8 | Brian Bittner. |
| 0:26.7 | Hello, hello. |

| 1:12.4 | And then, so the results of our poll for which trilogy series we're going to do for the 1,000 patron goal are in, |
| 1:21.3 | and it was kind of surprising and interesting how it played out. |
| 1:24.8 | So on some of the platforms, back to the future was clearly in the lead, |
| 1:30.6 | but overall, the most votes actually went to the Godfather. So for a thousand, we will be talking |
| 1:37.1 | about the Godfather trilogy, which I'm really excited about. I haven't seen those in a long time. |
