This sort of podcast is our bag baby. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia, as we defrost from the swinging 60s into the cynical 90s in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. We're trying to avoid getting our mojo crossed with fembots in our 121st episode as we discuss:
- The famous child of the theme song's composer
If this film has aged as badly as we feared it would haveWhether Ian has better comedic timing than Mike Myers & Liz HurleyThe strength of the collection of licensed musicWe get deep about flags as symbols, consistency of consent, Ian notices a ton of things from the UK edit that weren't in the North American versionWe ask who's the more interesting character: Austin Powers or Dr. EvilWhether Vanessa is the worst secret agent everWe discuss an almost casting that completely changes the tone of this filmIan has an update on Princess Leia's gold bikini from last weekWhether or not Return of the Jedi is the Best Film Ever.Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE
