All this anger just begets greater anger; no, we're not talking about Ian and Ethan here.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Ethan's putting up a billboard) as we're debating driving all the way to Idaho as we review Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri.  Liam's emptying the chamber in our 138th episode as we discuss:


  • Does Martin McDonagh have a specific penchant after comparing this film to In Bruges?

  • Is Woody Harrelson's character a hero, a martyr, or an egomaniac?  Is his perfect day self-indulgent and the least caring thing he could do

  • Why cast the character of the drifter to appear for both Mildren and Dixon

  • What else have we seen Sam Rockwell in and why doesn't he get his due?

  • Why was Frances McDormand hesitant to do this film and who talked her into doing it?

  • Is this the best Martin McDonagh film ever?

  • How does Pip make his presence this week? We give him a title.

  • Does the dark humour go too far?

  • Does this film start with too horrific of a premise to walk the tonal line it does?

  • Whether or not Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the Best Film Ever
