Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam & Georgia (Megs if off looking for cloners on Camino) as we're off to Naboo to protect a senator and just staring inapporpriately in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. We're ready for the adventures of Jar Jar in our 224th episode as we discuss:

  • Georgia's right to comment on hypothetical fries
  • Liam does an impression of Felix
  • We discuss whether George Lucas knows about romance outside of seeing it in films and how that may have affected the final product
  • Why is Natalie Portman so bad in this? (Although there's one element that Ian & Liam seemed to be in favour of)
  • There's some more English teacher stuff happening here this week
  • Ian talks about McDonalds new UK recipes
  • Whether or not Star Wars: Attack of the Clones is the Best Film Ever
