Description:

There's only one rule in this jungle: when the lion's hungry, he eats! Maybe it's fitting considering this week's title that Georgia couldn't make it due to work commitments. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan, as we review Guy Ritchie's return to form in the UK new-gangster classic, The Gentlemen - brought to us by BFF of the BFE, Hermes Auslander of The Scuttlebutt Podcast.  We're grilling wagyu steak in our 124th episode as we discuss:

  • The auteur signatures of Guy Ritchie and if this film represents a choice to throw off what big Hollywood expects
  • If the UK scene is Hollywood's hope for a non-superhero pipeline
  • Who almost played Roz - much to Liam's mourning
  • What exactly is the state of independent cinema.  Can you divorce the filmmaker from the film they present?
  • We discuss the cannabis laws in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom
  • Why Graham Norton hasn't crossed over to the United States like James Corden
  • How Matthew completely lost the forest for the trees
  • How brilliant Hugh Grant is in this.  Is this his best role?
  • We discuss the joy of the circular narrative and the unreliable narrator
  • We actually talk pickles and pickled eggs for longer than you would anticipate
  • Hermes from The Scuttlebutt Podcast joins us and gushes some very kind words on the BFE
  • Whether or not Top Gun is the Best Film Ever.
