Everything is Awesome.... but if everything is awesome can anything truly be awesome... or special? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Megs and Ethan are Master Building somewhere else) as we tackle the Danish toy company's entry into the feature film industry with 2014's The Lego Movie.  We're claiming victory on our first try in our 212th episode as we discuss: 

  • Our respective uses of Lego
  • If Legoland sounds like a fun place to spend a day
  • What's Ian's #1 priority for a day out
  • What's everyone's favourite chain restaurant
  • Who came to the recording session in a silly mood
  • Ian and Liam disagree on a couple of film references... can you help them out?
  • Whether or not The Lego Movie is the Best Film Ever
