We too want to be mentioned in the same breath as Mona Lisa.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we're heading to a remote Greek Island in the Aegean Sea as we review the Rian Johnson Netflix Original Film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, brought to us by BFF of the BFE, James DeGuzman.  Why is it that BFF selected films cause such divisive analysis?  We're cooling our overheated mouths from Jeremy Renner's hot sauce with Jared Leto's loaded kombucha in our 156th episode as we discuss:


  • The appeal for Benoit Blanc after the initial Knives Out

  • Who is the other adult in Blanc's house and what is their relationship?

  • Is Dave Bautista the best wrestler turned actor ever?

  • Who is Stavros and why is Ian so worried about him doing his job correctly? 

  • Is it possible for a human being to be an example of Chekov's Gun

  • When do you stop inviting your ex to annual social events

  • Ethan's internet plays up early, resulting in a lot of nervous energy

  • Ian gives an update on the crazy week in the NFL and Fantasy Football

  • We discuss fan culture and give our best to Jeremy Renner 

  • We find out who are the kings of the BFE cast lists

  • We digest a subtle progression in the representation of women in bathing suits

  • We're joined by James DeGuzman who shares his origin story with the BFE and provides us with some tie-breaking opinions

  • We ask, how exactly can Netflix quantify the economic success of their original films under a subscription model?

  • We teach Liam about NFTs

  • James gives us our 2nd most profane random word ever, and the most profane we've ever let get through

  • Whether or not Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is the Best Film Ever
