That is a tasty burger! Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and KevDog on a BOYS NIGHT in the most Boys Night of films as we're heading to the underbelly of Los Angeles in search of a 5 dollar shake in Quentin Tarantino's magnum opus, Pulp Fiction. We'll be back before you can say 'blueberry pancakes' in our 248th episode as we discuss:

  • What is PostModernism
  • Why does this film speak so strongly to a certain generation of cinephile
  • Kev has brought some treats back for everyone from his holiday in Greece
  • An actor extends an impressive record
  • When is a mistake not a mistake?
  • What's the benefit of quickfire intertextual references?
  • What is a meta-narrative and how can it be proven incorrect
  • Ian might set a record for pushes of the yellow button
  • We discuss one of the great soundtracks of all time and Ian explains what Columbia House was
  • Whether or not Pulp Fiction is the Best Film Ever
