A priest, a rabbi and an iman are all suspects at the wailing wall... Before there was Death on the Nile there was a Murder on the Orient Express. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, and Ethan (Georgia might be locked in her bunk) as we're departing from Istanbul all aboard the Orient Express. We're dodging power cuts in our 110th episode as we discuss:
- How we simultaneously love once actor/actress' performance for half the film and hate their performance for the other half
The terrible CGI and studio interference in manufacturing interesting events every 20 minutesWhich actor/actress was dressed down by director Kenneth Brannagh in front of the whole crew?Georgia actually is much better with her face blindness this time although a few still get by herThere's a call line for Michelle Pfeiffer you have to hear to believe
We question Olaf's morality just a little bit
Which technical element did we struggle between determining if it was amazing or just self-indulgentHow did Branagh manage to convince his co-stars to let him focus on himself so much on the screenEthan continues to struggle with some pod responsibilities on fact check cornerWhether or not Murder on the Orient Express is the Best Film EverBecome a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE
