Remember folks, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies". Join your favourite ragtag fellowship of TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, KevDog, Megs and Georgia as we're beginning a 20 year journey to breaking out of prison as we review the Frank Darabont cinematic adaptation of a Stephen King short story, The Shawshank Redemption. We're toasting one of our own as Georgia records her last live episode for a while in our 244th episode as we discuss:
- Why does this film have the legacy it does?
- We talk about why Morgan Freeman - is the voice of our generation
- Ian updates the world on the weight game
- How many things had to go right for - Andy's plan to go correctly
- Does this film do enough at establishing Andy and Red as polar opposites
- We talk about how there is a way to correctly read a film if they direct us to do so
- Whether or not The Shawshank Redemption is the Best Film Ever
