All for one, and one for all!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Megan, and Georgia (Ethan's being rescued from a tower) as we're heading to 17th Century France and keeping our native accents because it really didn't matter back then as we review The Man in the Iron Mask on its 25th anniversary and our 3rd birthday.  We're ending riots in the streets in our 165th episode as we discuss:

  • Leo's schedule between this film and Titanic
  • Who was first choice for Aramis and why did he turn in down
  • We talk about American fast food chains we'd like to see in the UK
  • Georgia finally gives her rant for The Big Lebowski
  • We ask which actors have shown up in the most BFE reviews
  • We also discuss best nations for BFE downloads and highest rated/downloaded films
  • Some of our listeners sent in audio birthday messages on our 3rd birthday
  • Whether or not The Man in the Iron Mask is the Best Film Ever
