AFTER 24 MINUTES full spoiler review

The whole BFE/TTM gang are back from seeing Bill & Ted Face The Music and we're here to hold them to that title.  What did we think about it?  What parts worked?  What parts didn't?  Who showed up and who just showed up for a paycheque?  What does this newest entry do for the legacy of Bill & Ted and their excellent adventures?  What were the stakes in this film?  We answer all these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of Bill & Ted 3.  

Podcasters… Assemble!  We were remarkably good and held off on any Marvel content for over half a year.  So now we’re breaking the seal and giving our full attention to the film that started it all in back in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man .  Join your favourite transatlantic film review crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia – as we head to Burger King in our Audi in search of a classic American Cheeseburger.  It's a gamechanger of a 28th episode as we discuss:

• How much did Robert Downey Jr & Terrence Howard made for Iron Man

We’ve got a most un-heinous line-up for this week’s review of the film that Keanu Reeves was afraid would be etched on his tombstone in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.  Due to the imminent premiere of Bill & Ted 3, we felt it fitting to head back into the circuits of time and revisit not only Bill & Ted but our past us’s Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, and Ellie – and our very special guests from Nick & Russ Don’t Know Anything as we head to the Circle K in search of pudding cups, bubble gum and socratic method.  It’s a trip to the mall of a 26th episode as we discuss:

Who is Keyser Söze?  Is Keaton alive or dead?  Where is Kobayashi's accent from?  Are we still allowed to love this movie?  All very good questions and ones that we dive into as we tackle the Christopher McQuarrie penned script that had 'the best plot twist of all-time' according to the voters at IMDb, in "The Usual Suspects."  Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam – as we lean back and take it all in from coagulated urine to cigarette flicks, location shifts and behind-the-scenes drama, and somehow we ended up with a film that is a very real contender for best film ever.  We've got Ellie joining visiting us as a special agent as we interrogate the Brian Singer/Kevin Spacey mob movie.  It's a red herring of a 25th episode as we discuss:

• How exactly do you pronounce Kaiser Soze, and what is its origin?

Pop quiz, hot shot - You hear that and instinctively know that we're talking about the 1994 public transit thriller, Speed.  Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam – as we take a look at a film that was likely much bigger (and better) than it had any reason to be.  Also on the bus we've got Ellie in fact-check corner, and Ethan is our replacement Bus Driver.  It's an adrenaline-filled 24th episode as we discuss:

• Which famous writer was brought in to fix the dialogue in this script (similar to Joss Whedon in Toy Story)

Did a Swedish Book released in 2008 really need 2 films based on the same novel released just 2 years apart, both based in Sweden but one in Swedish and one in English?  That's the question we ask as we look extensively at the 2011 English language Daniel Craig fronted version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam – as we take a look at a film that Sony had very big hopes for but never continued with the planned trilogy despite critical acclaim.  We're joined by our Ellie is in fact-check corner.  It's a wintery 23rd episode as we discuss:
