Best Film Ever Movie Podcast

We're back with another round of our Mail Call episode.  Russell the Postie has dropped off a special springtime delivery and Georgia's working in the mail room to deliver the questions from Friends of the Podcast & The Fledgling Fandom to your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting team.  Hear Ian, Liam, and Georgia answer some of your questions in our May 2024 edition.  Key questions this time include:
How does the BFE decide which films to do?
Which BFE concepts might come back in the near future?  Why have some of them been gone for a while?
Who are our fantasy dream guests for the pod?
What's the BFE origin story?
What's the best TV we've ever seen?
What advice would we give our younger selves?
If you have a question for the next time the mailbag is open.  Catch us on Twitter at @bestfilmeverpod and use the hashtag #AskBFE
