Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 45, we both choose films with similar themes for a good old-fashioned compare and contrast.

Rochard has chosen "Room" (2015) and Jesal picked "Dogtooth" (2009).

We start off with a spoiler-free session for the first few minutes... But then dish out gigantic spoilers (you have been warned).

There are plenty of similarities to discuss, as well as obvious differences. Watch both films, then listen to our lively debate - it was cracking fun to record.

Jesal is from the UK, and Rochard is from America. We like to talk in depth about albums, films, TV shows and books.

Rochard has a background in TV, acting, writing and many other areas of art creation. Jesal has a background in music: DJ, producer, artist, critic and other stuff.

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 44, for the first time in our history... No Rochard... No special guests... Just Jesal!

This week, I check out "So Good" (2017) by a wonderfully talented young Swedish lady called Zara Larsson.

It's one of my most listened to albums of 2017 thus far, and with her upcoming London concert, I felt a duty to shine a light on it. It's an incredibly accomplished pop debut and jolly good fun at that.

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 43, we take a look at an extremely impressive (and underrated) album called "Humanz" by the animated group Gorillaz.

We tackled their entire discography in Episode 16 (go check that out) but here we digest and spew forth our thoughts on their most recent LP - and it turns out the deep dive was fully warranted.

It's a political and energetic tour de force, more reminiscent of a mixtape, and one we predict time will be kind to.

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 42, we take a look at the complete works of Kendrick Lamar (one of our favourite rappers).

Kendrick is an artist who inspires much debate, and this episode is no different. It's a lively look at all his albums thus far, and broader discussion about his role within the genre.

Plenty of other topics pop up, including Drake, J. Cole, Lupe Fiasco, Nas and Jay-Z.

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 41, following on from last week's live decision to take a complete break from Twitter for one whole week, we find out how our Rebels got on...

There is also a more general discussion on many aspects of social media including, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, Reddit and a book by Dan Eggers called "The Circle" (the film version of which just came out).
