You vow, we move!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, Megan, and Georgia as we're heading back to Sherwood Forrest after fighting in the Crusades with a Scottish King Richard in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men In Tights.  We're busy trying to find a pair of early 1990s Reeboks in our 185th episode as we discuss:

  • A bonanza of yellow button moments
  • We discuss how the rules are different for spoofs and also ask ourselves why these aren't done as often any more
  • Whether this film has aged particularly well
  • Our upcoming plans for the BFE day out in 2023
  • Ethan's got many feelings about Elon Musk that he feels compelled to share at great length and emotional power
  • 60% of the pod dressed for the occasion.  Who dressed up and what did they wear?
  • There's a moment where Ian laughs so hard he has to push the mic away. That might be a first.
  • Whether or not Robin Hood: Men in Tights is the Best Film Ever
