“So long… partner.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting duo – Ian & Liam – as we stare mortality, memory, and molten doom right in the eye in our 283rd episode, covering Pixar's emotional rollercoaster Toy Story 3 (2010). We're trading poisoned apples for daycare drama and incinerator trauma as we ask whether this trilogy-closer really is the perfect goodbye: We are so very thankful for a new piece of kit that limited our downtime this week We talk about why Toy Story 3 might just be the best third act in any trilogy ever. Ian reflects on the passage of time, growing up, and how Pixar weaponised emotion in the final 20 minutes. Liam bravely tries to hold it together during that incinerator scene—and that goodbye with Andy. Is Lotso one of Pixar's greatest villains and what is it about him that Liam hates so much but Ian loves so much? We talk about daycare as dystopia, Big Baby as horror icon, why Mr. Pricklepants deserved more screen time and who exactly is watching these kids at the daycare? Why does this hit so hard for adults? Is it just about toys—or everything we leave behind? Ian breaks down the film's narrative structure and how it perfectly mirrors growing up and letting go. Whether Toy Story 3 is the Best Film Ever—or just the most emotionally devastating G-rated film of all time. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

“Happy anniversary, baby.” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting trio – Ian, Liam & Megs (Kev's taking care of some issues in Atlanta) – as we lock and load for our 282nd episode, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Doug Liman's bullet-riddled marital meltdown Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). We're trading treasure maps and Pepsi product placement for high-tech arsenals and awkward couples therapy as we discuss: At what point exactly did Brad Pitt's & Angelina Jolie's respective existing marriages become doomed The world of super spies and just how deep your cover has to be before you forget who you're actually married to. We get a guest review from a parent of a podcaster this week—they've certainly chosen a side Do our respective genders guarantee a same-gender allegiance or is it up for grabs One of us struggles to accept the film's central conceit (spoiler: it involves assassins, suburbs, and how you manage to create your respective weapons stashes). How this film caused a minor international incident  We ask the big question: Was Brad Pitt a character actor trapped in a movie star's body all along? What's wrong with the narrative pacing—and why does it feel like the film ran out of bullets before the third act? We dive into the ongoing conversation around gender pay equality, especially when both leads aren't marquee stars. Is this a great film or just a very stylish couples' argument with body count. How much mediocrity can great chemistry overcome Whether Mr. & Mrs. Smith is the Best Film Ever Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

“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 ask how Order 66 compares to another major franchise's big emotional disaster Whether Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is the Best Film Ever.

“If it bleeds, we can kill it.” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Liam (Megs & B-Tech Kev said something about climbing trees) – as we strap on our gear, light our cigars, and head deep into the Central American rainforest for our 274th episode, tackling the musclebound mayhem of Predator (1987). 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? What's Liam's main gripe about the Predator's rules of engagement? Why was this film so insistent on telling rather than showing We've got questions mud camouflage, heat vision, and respecting the preparation montage We get personal about  Arnold's peak era, and childhood memories of watching this way too young.

“Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian & Liam (B-Tech Kev & Megs had to return some videocassettes) – as we slick back our hair, slip on the raincoats, and axe our way into our 273rd episode with a deep dive into American Psycho (2000). 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. Did they pull it off? Whether American Psycho is the Best Film Ever. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall...” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Megs & B-Tech Kev (Liam got lost singing with woodland creatures) – as we take a bite out of Disney's first-ever animated feature in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). We're trading in baseball gloves for poisoned apples and diving into our 270th episode as we discuss: How Walt Disney changed cinema forever with this groundbreaking fairy tale. Does Snow White still hold up nearly a century later? Was the magic charming or a little too saccharine for modern tastes? How Snow White taps into themes of innocence, envy, and female agency (or lack thereof). Which dwarf we'd most likely be cast as – and who's clearly Grumpy in real life. Is this film overrated just because it was “first”? How the Evil Queen ranks among the all-time Disney villains. What was our main complaint with her? Speaking of complaints, what about the Prince – does he even do anything? We've got more questions about sentient animals, and consent. We get personal about childhood memories and Disney nostalgia. We talk about magical mirrors, glass coffins, and the importance of whistling while you work. Whether Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the Best Film Ever.
