Would that it were so simple... (we said that with a mirthless chuckle).  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan, (Megan and Georgia have been kidnapped by communists) as we're heading to the Studio Star System of 1951 to be fixed by Eddie Mannix as he does his thing for Capitol Pictures in Hail, Caesar!.  We're engaging in the world's greatest pre-ship out song and dance in our 183rd episode as we discuss:

  • Our feelings towards the Coen brothers
  • Are films about filmmaking pretentious or an examination of art itself?
  • Liam shares a personal story about a member of the cast
  • Ian shares a little history of the industry as Ian's Film Class is now in session
  • We share a little bit about the big upcoming milestone for the pod
  • We're joined by BFF of the BFE, James DeGuzman who shares his thoughts about the film
  • Whether or not Hail, Caesar! is the Best Film Ever
