Episode 166 - John Wick (w/ Antony)

Would you like to make a dinner reservation? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia (Ethan's back on the job) as we're heading to New York City and being shot in blue and gray as we review John Wick before the 4th in the series drops in cinemas.  We're mistakenly monologuing in front of our captive in our 166th episode as we discuss:

• How shaky the financing was for the film
• Why the producers decided to shoot in New York City instead of cheaper options
• Is there a place for films like this that are stylish and exciting but low on story
• Ian shares a story about his personal link to one of the actors
• We take a couple of minutes and discuss Everything Everywhere All At Once's big win at the Oscars
• Liam has a hot take that you have to hear to believe
• We discuss the passing of Lance Reddick
• Whether or not John Wick is the Best Film Ever
