Episode 231 - The Lion King (1994)
(Deep Dive begins at 29:30)
Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase... Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, Megan and Georgia, as we're heading to Pride Rock to pay homage to the carnivores that might eat us one day in the 1994 Disney animated classic, The Lion King. We're avoiding goose-stepping hyenas in our 231st episode as we discuss:
Ian workshops a 1 man Lion King show for the Edinburgh fringe
What was Disney's innovative approach for the trailer
What other Disney animated classic were most of the senior animators choosing to work on instead of the B-List "Lion King"
What other animated film bears a striking resemblance to this film?
What makes a great villain and considering that, is Scar a great villain?
Ian and Liam again discuss best vs favourite and where the distinction is
What unexpected source was the singing voice of adult Simba?
Russell the Postie has dropped off some parcels for Ian to give out
Whether or not The Lion King (1994) is the Best Film Ever

Episode 230 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
(Deep Dive begins at 27:35)
Expecto patronum! Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Megan's training to be a dementor) as we're joined once again by KevDog - freshly broken out of Azkaban - as we're heading to a remodeled Hogwarts while messing with the fabric of time itself in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We're managing our mischief in our 230th episode as we discuss:
Whether it is possible to divorce the films, and the IP, from the author of the source material.
Whether it's fair for Potter fans to continuously harp on about the books and if judging it by its fidelity to the novel should be their approach
How hard it is to go from precocious child to adolescent actor and which of our cast are definitely not pulling it off
Some of the options for the new Dumbledore and Michael Gambon's approach to taking the part over from Richard Harris
Ian has to retire his Voldemort as Dumbledore voice (or does he?)
There's an update on Hermes and his Revolution (in musical fashion, no less)
KevDog returns with Easter Egg Corner
Is this the best Harry Potter film of the bunch?
Whether or not Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the Best Film Ever

Episode 229 - Dead Poets Society
(Deep Dive begins at 30:50)
We don't watch and analyse films because it's cute. We watch and analyse films because we are members of the human race. Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and Megan (Georgia is in detention) as we're heading to a dark cave in the middle of the night to trade snacks, play saxophone, and read from Five Centuries of Verse in the film that's crack for teachers, Dead Poets Society. We're seizing the day in our 229th episode as we discuss:
Just how responsible is Mr Keating for what happens to Neil
Does the film have a happy ending. How do we know what the director wants us to think?
Liam asks a lot of questions from a student's perspective. Ian & Megan try to answer them from a teacher's perspective
Why did Robin Williams no-show the first day of shooting and how did Touchstone/Disney react?
How did Disney want to change this film and who saved it from some truly terrible notes
We ask if this is Robin Williams' finest film and/or performance
There's a couple of hiccoughs in the signal this week
Whether or not Dead Poets Society and the Last Crusade is the Best Film Ever

Three Act Structure: Reviewing EVERY Marvel (MCU) Property in 3 Words or Less
We usually go king sized on the BFE but perhaps brevity truly is the source of wit. Welcome to Three Act Structure: the BFE review show where we have to pass judgment on films but this time, we can only use 3 words or less - wait, should that be 'or fewer?'
This month we're reviewing every Film and TV entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. How will films like Iron Man, Captain America, Ant-Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers Endgame do when we're limited to a trifecta of words.
What 3 words would you have used? Let us know on social media over at twitter.com/bestfilmeverpod

Episode 228 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
(Deep Dive begins at 32:30)
We belong in a museum. Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian and Liam (Georgia & Megan got lost in their own museum) as we're heading to Alexandretta in search of the Holy Grail and Henry Jones Sr in what should have been Indy's swan song, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. All we have to do is scream in our 228th episode as we discuss:
Some of the insane pitches for this film as Liam plays "Real Pitch or Chat GPT Pitch?"
We have a little English teaching as homonyms are on the docket today
Is this film accessible to those not familiar with any of the previous Indy films
Why did Spielberg bring back so many characters from Raiders
Just how bad is early years CGI exactly?
We reminisce about an earlier BFE episode
Ian continues to try and fix Logan from last week
Whether or not Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the Best Film Ever
