Forget the past; this is your future - Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis and we're heading all the way back to 2021 (so not that far back) and yet we're also in the 1950s as we tackle the cultural juggernaut that is WandaVision. Why not fly with us this week as we discuss:

• When is a pilot not a pilot?

It's All Happening - This week we're getting on the bus - not the plane - with 70s rockers Stillwater as we go on tour with Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical Almost Famous.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we analyse a love letter to classic rock.  We hope you have your final words for Rolling Stone in our landmark 50th episode as we discuss:

So no-one told you life was gonna be this way - Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew are trying their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis and we're heading all the way back to 1994, Central Perk and FRIENDS in a show that we've yet to name.   Join us for this pilot episode of the unnamed pilot show as we discuss:

• The development of FRIENDS as a television show when it had a couple of different names

Knock Knock - Who's There? - It's no joke that we're giving 2002's "Catch Me If You Can" the BFE treatment this week as we're heading all over North America hitching a ride in the JumpSeat.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia - as we're joined by Alex from Main St Finance.  We hope you concur that it's a fun 49th episode as we discuss:

• The 22 year journey this film underwent from development to screen

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

AFTER 34 MINUTES full spoiler review

It's a BOYS NIGHT as Ian, Liam, and Ethan are holding their heads and trying to articulate exactly what happened in TENET. What did we think about it?  What parts worked?  What parts didn't?  How do you pronounce the blasted word properly?  Is this Nolan at his best or Nolan at his Nolanist? What does this newest entry do for his legacy?  We answer all these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of TENET. and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

"What do you do? What do you say?" - We're going all the way back to 1938 for this year's selection as Liam brings Angels With Dirty Faces to the table. This week we're headed to Hell's Kitchen and learning about two boys, one who ran just a bit faster than the other and the impact it had on our lives.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia.  It's a debatably yellow 48th episode as we discuss:

• Which of these classic actors made the best impression on us

Merry New Year!  Another bonus episode for your listening enjoyment as we bring you another Reel Roundtable discussion.  Ellie, Georgia, Ian, and Liam look back on the films they've reviewed in 2020 and have some less prestigious awards to hand out this week in the form of The Resties.  We all tried to stay friends as we debate the worst that we saw in 2020.  Just because the films are rated highly doesn't mean they're everyone's cup of tea.  (A full list of award categories and eligible films are located at the bottom of these notes)

Plus, there's a few from the blooper reel as we point out some of our own 'Worst of' moments from the past calendar year. 

If you have any ideas about future actors/actresses or topics for future roundtables, we’d love to hear from you.  Hit us up at @BestFilmEverPod on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
