Episode 189 - Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Colonel, you'd better have a look at this radar, I don't know what it is but it looks like a giant.... Podcast.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia (Meg's off on a Top Secret Mission) as we're headed to the 1960s in search of Dr Evil and Austin Powers' mojo in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.  We're getting into fights on the Jerry Springer show in our 189th episode as we discuss:

• How our senses of humour can change as we age
• We discuss the much discussed scratch-off map
• Is this another one in a list of films where the panel prefers Ian's line reading to that of the actors in the film
• Which word makes Georgia's skin crawl
• Which Olympic events only occur for one gender and why is this
• Is this more a Dr Evil film than an Austin Powers film?
• There's an interesting theory presented regarding morality and cosmetic surgery in the AP series
• There's another case of the bootstrap paradox
• How does the script deal with Vanessa's ultimate character end (and the complications of time travel).
• Which song on the soundtrack do we love and which ones do we hate
• Which line was changed and Ian heavily approves of the new line over the old line
• Why does Felicity need to plant a tracking device on Fat Bastard
• What was Ian tempted to claim as his own when he moved to the UK
• Whether or not Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the Best Film Ever
