Description:

All this anger just begets greater anger; no, we're not talking about Ian and Ethan here.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Ethan's putting up a billboard) as we're debating driving all the way to Idaho as we review Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri.  Liam's emptying the chamber in our 138th episode as we discuss:

  • Does Martin McDonagh have a specific penchant after comparing this film to In Bruges?
  • Is Woody Harrelson's character a hero, a martyr, or an egomaniac?  Is his perfect day self-indulgent and the least caring thing he could do
  • Why cast the character of the drifter to appear for both Mildren and Dixon
  • What else have we seen Sam Rockwell in and why doesn't he get his due?
  • Why was Frances McDormand hesitant to do this film and who talked her into doing it?
  • Is this the best Martin McDonagh film ever?
  • How does Pip make his presence this week? We give him a title.
  • Does the dark humour go too far?
  • Does this film start with too horrific of a premise to walk the tonal line it does?
  • Whether or not Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the Best Film Ever
