Something about this BFF that always causes a spirited discussion. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Megan (Georgia's catting it up elsewhere) as we're joined by BFF of the BFE: Hermes as we analyse one of those gritty blokey films in early 20th Century California in There Will Be Blood. We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander and fashioning very long straws in our 168th episode as we discuss: 


  • The humour present in Standard Oil

  • Ian shares a story about the worst Shakespeare performance he ever saw

  • We try to explain pro wrestling to Megan

  • We're oddly divided about the score in the film

  • We gush about the cinematography with one member of the BFE making a very big claim

  • There's a crazy fact about Paul Dano's dual casting that you're not going to believe

  • It's another episode where we enjoy some refreshment that links to the film

  • We've got a fact about this film and another Oscar worthy film that you're not going to believe

  • Ian somehow finds a way to link this film to a 19th century poem 

  • We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander of The Scuttlebutt Podcast

  • We debut the BFE Questionnaire 

  • Whether or not There Will Be Blood is the Best Film Ever
