It's Been Emotional. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Megan, and Georgia (Ethan and Megan are off buying fertilizer) as we tackle Guy Ritchie's debut gangster film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. We're shooting people with air guns in our 216th episode as we discuss:

  • Guy Ritchie and if his films are essentially comedies masquerading as Gangster films
  • We argue exactly how Jason Statham's name is pronounced
  • Liam and Georgia discuss cockney rhyming slang
  • The thespian talents of Vinnie Jones are highly debated
  • You won't believe where we've seen some of these actors before
  • Apparently Liam doesn't like Northerners
  • Whether or not Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is the Best Film Ever
