Iron Man or Guardians? Endgame or Infinity War? The Dark World or Love & Thunder?  Eternals vs. The Incredible Hulk?   People have been debating which is the best of the best since Tony Stark made his suit in a cave and now we're having a turn.  Joined by some of our Friends of the Podcast: Juleen, Hermes and Andy Dickson [we're still sorry]) we're setting up 32 of the best in a single knockout tournament.  We've got massive upsets, Cinderella runs and much debate as we crown the Best MCU Film Ever

On your marks... get set... technical difficulties!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Megan and Ethan weren't Ford type people) as we're heading to rural France in search of a 3 minute perfect lap and do our best to go 24 hours in reviewing it.

We don't have Ethan or Megan to blame it on in our 187th episode as we discuss:

We had the pleasure of sitting down (virtually - although we were all seated) with "Mr Heckles" himself, Larry Hankin who was kind enough to give us over an hour of his time to discuss his career, his motivations, what excites him, what frustrates him and what he's working on now.  Catch Ian & Georgia for the full cut of our previously excerpted interview where we discuss:

• His run on FRIENDS: when he knew it was going to be a hit show, which of the FRIENDS he most enjoyed working opposite and his inspiration for the part

"I didn't kill my wife / I don't care"  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan (Megan and Georgia have commandeered an ambulance) as we're conduction a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in 1993's The Fugitive. We're staying up til 2am thinking of an ending in our 186th episode as we discuss:

• The mess that was the script for this film

FIRST 34:30 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

AFTER 34:30 it's a full spoiler review

We're back again and this time we're giving Oppenheimer the See It Or Skip It Treatment with Ian and Liam talking about their trip to see Oppenheimer last week as Ian finished his Oppenheimer double header.  Did Cillian Murphy have an advantage by being somewhat unknown as far as leading a film?  Also, how do you pronounce his first name? Did Christopher Nolan try and outclever us all again with this film? Where does this film rank in our listings of 2023's best?  How about among Nolan's best?  Will this win the box office in 2023?  Was Oppenheimer behind the bomb anyways? Ian's also got a theory on the colour grading in this one. We'll answer all these questions on Oppenheimer and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

You vow, we move!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, Megan, and Georgia as we're heading back to Sherwood Forrest after fighting in the Crusades with a Scottish King Richard in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men In Tights.  We're busy trying to find a pair of early 1990s Reeboks in our 185th episode as we discuss:

• A bonanza of yellow button moments

We're back again and this time we're giving Barbie the See It Or Skip It Treatment with Ian and Megan talking about their trip to see Barbie mid-week as Ian began his Oppenheimer double header.  How does Margot Robbie handle the titular character?  Why did a serious actor such as Ryan Gosling take on a piece in a film about a child's toy? Simu Liu and Michael Cera (2 more Canadians which brings our total to 3) join the cast - is there something distinctly Canadian about Barbie?  Will this win the box office in 2023?  How do we feel about the less than subtle ideology and did the film purposely mislead us as to what the story was in the trailer? We'll answer all these questions on Barbie and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

We got birthdays, we got milestones, we might be getting a little FUBARred. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, Megan, and Georgia as we're heading to France via Omaha Beach in search of a James Francis Ryan from Iowa (you Minnesota boys stay away) to be saved by Captain Miller as try and win the $300 pool in Saving Private Ryan.  We're learning the ropes and trying to carry around a typewriter in our 184th episode as we discuss:

• The birthday equinox as Georgia & Ian both celebrated birthdays this week

AFTER 30:00 it's a full spoiler review

This week we're back with the undisputed King of the Box Office, Tom Cruise, in his quest for meaning in meaningless times in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One.  Ian & Liam are kicking it old-school as we look at Part One of the likely finale of our favourite train riding, mask wearing secret agent.  Does old man Tom still have it?  Why are there so many women in principal roles in this film? Has Kietrich lost a step after all this time?  Are Mission Impossible films supposed to be this funny?  Where do we rank the set pieces in this film against the memorable ones from other films?  Did Ian just predict how the series ends in Part II? We'll answer all these questions on Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One  and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
