    “Give her the goddamn [microphone], Conrad!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian & Liam (Megs and B-Tech Kev have headed off to Houston) – as we dive deep into the murky waters of grief, guilt, and WASP repression for our 289th episode, covering Robert Redford's directorial debut Ordinary People (1980). We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Ariannah (Who Loves BFE the Most™), as we trade poisoned apples for therapy sessions and take a long, quiet look at the cracks beneath the perfect family portrait as we discuss: How Ordinary People took the 1980 Oscars by storm  Does the film's quiet intensity still hit home—or has its reserved style become a relic of another era? Is Conrad a deeply sympathetic protagonist—or a mirror too uncomfortable to look into? How Ordinary People explores mental health, emotional repression, and the cold war between appearance and authenticity. Would the film still work today or have we successfully de-stigmatized mental health, trauma, and therapy? Which character we most relate to – and does that change  Where Mary Tyler Moore lands in the pantheon of dramatic performances. And what's someone's major gripe with her character's arc? Speaking of gripes—can we talk about that family photo scene? We've got questions about golf sweaters, family breakfast tension, and how much pain can hide behind tickets to Michigan State We get personal about how Ordinary People affected us—and whether we saw ourselves in any of its emotional breakdowns. We talk quiet power, redemptive silence, and the importance of just… being there for someone. Whether Ordinary People is the Best Film Ever.

    “You were the chosen one!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam & Megs (Kev's off-planet this week, likely negotiating with the Trade Federation) – as we ignite our lightsabers, spin into some space politics, and plunge into the dark side for our 270th episode covering Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). We're trading poisoned apples for Order 66 and flying headfirst into the fall of Anakin Skywalker as we discuss: Whether Revenge of the Sith sticks the landing for the prequel trilogy—or crashes harder than General Grievous' escape pod. Does the film finally deliver the emotional payoff the prequels promised? Is Anakin's fall convincing… or did he turn to the dark side over some bad dreams? Why does the reason for Anakin's turn seem inconsistent in this one Are Restie award winners, Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman any better this go around or is a back-to-back a likely result? We talk about our philosophical stances and what happens when 2 of them crash into each other? Which Jedi we'd most likely be – and who's clearly the Palpatine of the group Is this film secretly the best prequel—or just the least clunky one? Where does the Anakin/Obi Wan light saber fight fall in the history of duels in Star Wars? Speaking of gripes – was Padmé done dirty by giving her nothing to do? Does George Lucas understand love?

We're trading reservations at Dorcia for thermal vision and going toe-to-toe with one of cinema's deadliest hunters as we discuss: How Predator blurred the lines between action, horror, and sci-fi to create something original. Does the film still pack a punch nearly 40 years later—or is it just macho nostalgia on steroids? How manly are the manly men in this film both on and off the set? Which team member we'd most likely be – and who's 100% Billy with that intense stare. Is Predator secretly a slasher film in disguise? And does that make the Predator the villain... or the star?

We're trading poisoned apples for reservations at Dorsia (try the Sea Urchin Ceviche) as we discuss: How American Psycho satirized toxic masculinity, consumer culture, and Wall Street excess with a killer smile. Does Patrick Bateman still hold up as a character—or has society caught up with his brand of narcissistic nihilism? Is the film's horror in the violence… or in the soulless perfection? How American Psycho explores identity, superficiality, and the slippery slope of sanity. Which character we'd most likely be cast as – and who's definitely the Paul Allen of the group. Is American Psycho misunderstood because of its violence, or revered because of how it frames it? This film gives us a chance to talk about two concepts we touched on last week: unreliable narrators and what exactly makes a character a protagonist Speaking of complaints—what about the other men in Bateman's world? Are they any better? We've got questions about how soundproof the apartments by the park are that they don't hear chainsaws in hallways We talk about whether all traditional masculinity is essentially toxic and Liam discusses his need for closure Last week one of us made a prediction about the other's likely verdict on the film.

Does Snow White still hold up nearly a century later? Was the magic charming or a little too saccharine for modern tastes?
