Overview

When diabolical genius Dr. Evil travels back in time to steal superspy Austin Powers's ‘mojo,’ Austin must return to the swingin' '60s himself - with the help of American agent, Felicity Shagwell - to stop the dastardly plan. Once there, Austin faces off against Dr. Evil's army of minions to try to save the world in his own unbelievably groovy way.

Colonel, you'd better have a look at this radar, I don't know what it is but it looks like a giant.... Podcast.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia (Meg's off on a Top Secret Mission) as we're headed to the 1960s in search of Dr Evil and Austin Powers' mojo in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.  We're getting into fights on the Jerry Springer show in our 189th episode as we discuss:

  • How our senses of humour can change as we age
  • We discuss the much discussed scratch-off map
  • Is this another one in a list of films where the panel prefers Ian's line reading to that of the actors in the film
  • Which word makes Georgia's skin crawl
  • Which Olympic events only occur for one gender and why is this
  • Is this more a Dr Evil film than an Austin Powers film?
  • There's an interesting theory presented regarding morality and cosmetic surgery in the AP series
  • There's another case of the bootstrap paradox
  • How does the script deal with Vanessa's ultimate character end (and the complications of time travel).
  • Which song on the soundtrack do we love and which ones do we hate
  • Which line was changed and Ian heavily approves of the new line over the old line
  • Why does Felicity need to plant a tracking device on Fat Bastard
  • What was Ian tempted to claim as his own when he moved to the UK
  • Whether or not Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the Best Film Ever
