Episode 73 finds us quenched by the 19th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe...

It's "Avenger: Infinity War" time!

We have seen the film 5 times between us, so have a pretty good handle on things.

There is plenty to cover as we dive into the main characters, their performances and the importance of this film within the entire MCU itself. We also look ahead to "Part 2" next year.

There really is so much to discuss, and since Rochard is a Marvel expert - well, you've come to the right place, friend.

It's episode 71 and seriously, stop eating that popcorn... We've just watched "A Quiet Place" and what an experience.

We discuss the brand new horror film that is taking the world by storm. It features real-life married couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinksi as a married couple with a few kids in a world where they can't make a lot of noise without serious repercussions. (Krasinski also directed & co-wrote the film).

It's a fascinating concept merging screams, silence and family together into a heady mix.

It's episode 70 and we prepare for an "Invasion of Privacy" from Bronx rapper Cardi B.

She's got the tweets on fire with her debut album, and there are plenty of topics to discuss: career-hopping; THAT voice; New York; tracks to DJ; reality TV...

And congratulations on her pregnancy!

Episode 69 sees us tackling a brand new film directed by septuagenarian Steven Spielberg.

"Ready Player One" is based on the 2011 novel by Ernest Cline. Jesal has already read the book; Rochard has not, so he viewed the film with fresh eyes.

There is plenty to cover as we dive into the main characters, their performances, gamer culture, film vs CGI, how Art3mis pulled her hamstring and life in 2045.

Episode 67 finds us tackling a brand new era for superheroes and the 18th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe...

It's "Black Panther" time! Wakanda forever!!

It came out in the UK 4 days earlier, so Jesal was twiddling his thumbs waiting for Rochard the American to catch up.

Episode 66 is the first of a new breed for the Transatlantic Rebels Podcast.

Jesal has dinner with heavy-hitter Raj Kotecha, and the entire thing is recorded. Here is the full-length joint with practically no edits - it's a fascinating listen.

At times deeply personal, at others broadly expansive, it encompasses countless topics of discussion between two old friends.

FYI there will be a "highlights" version coming soon which will be half the length. And please note, there is some explicit content.

Episode 65 finds us staring into the "Black Mirror."

In the second of a two-parter (check out Episode 60 for Part 1), we tackle series 3 & 4 (which have a total of 12 episodes - the Netflix era in full swing).

It's a great discussion (and recap/reminder) of Series 3, and Series 4 only came out, like, 12 days ago or something - we hope our speediness impresses you...

Episode 63 is all about Eminem' new album "Revival" (2017).

We go through his latest LP with a fine toothcomb, debating the highs and lows of what Marshall Mathers finally delivered.

It's a great starting point for developing a framework in which to understand it, and our conclusions may surprise you...

Episode 62 sees us entering the Star Wars universe once again to review in full with spoilers...

"Star Wars: Episode XIII - The Last Jedi".

 

There is plenty to cover as we dive into the main characters, their performances and development... And the ENDLESS controversies and gripes which have arisen!

We could have talked for hours about this but had to cut it off at a sensible length. We managed to cover a lot, but there is a written companion piece from Jesal: https://medium.com/@JesalTV/star-wars-episode-viii-the-last-jedi-review-8b69a989f306

Episode 61 finds us tackling one of the most controversial films of 2017...

"mother!" by Darren Aronofsky.

(Yes, it is lower case and with an explanation mark, sorry - exclamation mark).

It is possibly Rochard's favourite film of the year.

There is plenty to cover as we dive into the main characters, their performances and the importance of this film in a fascinating year of cinema.

Episode 58 is a discussion all about a living legend, Busta Rhymes. We are both huge fans of Big Trev so it's a great listen for honorary members of the Flipmode Squad!

We each take five pivotal songs and expand upon them. It was such fun to reminisce about Bussa Buss, he's truly underappreciated in this era.

Episode 57 finds us tackling a brand new threequel and the seventeeth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe...

It's "Thor: Ragnarok" time!

It came out in the UK a week earlier, so Jesal was twiddling his thumbs waiting for Rochard the American to catch up.

There is plenty to cover as we dive into the main characters, their performances and the important of this film within Thor and the entire MCU itself.

We could have talked for hours about this but had to cut it off at a sensible length. We managed to cover colonialism, out of sync accents and what lies ahead.

As a bonus, check out the new track "Soul Train" by Premz featuring Heems at the end. Premz is a good friend to the podcast, having been on previous 50 Cent and Jay-Z episodes - we wish him all the best with his dope new song!
