Episode 150 - Malcolm X (w/ BFF of the BFE: Juleen)

Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian and Ethan (Georgia & Liam are in counselling) as we're joined by BFF of the BFE: Juleen for the WHOLE EPISODE as we're recapping the extraordinary life of Malcolm X and celebrate a century-and-a-half of full reviews. We're admiring Juleen's short commute in our 150th episode as we discuss:

• The global legacy of Malcolm X
• We discuss the contrasting ideologies of Martin Luther King II and Malcolm X
• If Denzel was the right choice for the lead role
• Whether this film does Dr Betty Shabazz dirty
• Who was the first director linked to the project
• How did Spike Lee get footage inside Mecca and what was the backup plan for a passable shooting location to represent Mecca
• Do we like Spike Lee films?
• We go over the official rules of Whammageddon
• Whether or not Malcolm X is the Best Film Ever
