Obeying just for the sake of obeying? That's something only other pods could do. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Ethan's been infected by a giant toad) as we travel through rural Spain avoiding communist literature whilst reviewing a legit piece of cinema in Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth. We're not leaving the lock undisturbed in our 131st episode as we discuss:
- Liam's aversion to wanting to watch this week's film
The challenges that come with reading subtitles and why this film might have avoided such problemsThe problems with child actorsWhat to do when films don't necessarily tie everything up in a definitive mannerThe struggles of Doug Jones (The Faun) whilst preparing for this movieWhether the Faun is called PanWe talk British weather and how it's not as laughable as you might at first thinkGeorgia thinks at least one of us is a muggle as we refuse to believe in the magicIan goes properly to film school this week as this is on his syllabusDoes the casting of actors in the resolution create a plothole?Whether or not Pan's Labyrinth is the Best Film Ever.Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE
