Episode 130 - Men In Black (Live & Uncensored)

You know the difference between us and other film podcasts? We make this look good.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we review Men In Black on its 25th anniversary. We're not flashing anyone with a neuralyser in our 130th episode as we discuss:

• Who turned down the roles of Agent K and Agent J (clap, clap, clap, clap) respectivley
• To what degree did Vincent D'Onofrio go to in order to play Edgar/The Bug
• Why does the score to this film sound similar to Beetlejuice?
• Were we able to overlook the Will Smith slap and enjoy his performance in this film?
• What struggle did Tommy Lee Jones have in this film?
• Who's new in the Patreon Pool this week?
• Is Karl Urban any good in this film?
• How good are the practical effects in this film?
• Does this film hold up after 3 spectacularly poor sequels
• Whether or not Men In Black is the Best Film Ever.
