"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.

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

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.

There is plenty to cover as we primarily focus on the new Denis Villeneuve film, but look back on the original by Ridley Scott. It's a fascinating listen that helps digest a mammoth movie.

Jay-Z "4:44" (2017) vs Beyoncé "Lemonade" (2016) proves to be a lively discussion indeed! There is so much to unpack.
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!

This week, we have a very special guest returning... Premz.
In Episode 13, rapper Premz talked about one of his favourite albums ever: "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" by 50 Cent (2003). It has become one of our Top 3 ranking podcasts ever.
Now he returns and the topic is a juicy one: Jay-Z's 1996 debut "Reasonable Doubt." It's a wonderfully expansive deep-dive into a much-loved hip hop classic.
Many thanks to Premz for being a truly fantastic guest - you can get at him here:

In Episode 46, we welcome a very special guest onto the show for the first time:
Who is Kishan?
Who is Kishmeister?
Who is Broken Soul Boy?
He goes by many a name, but music is his game! It's a nice discussion on one of his favourite albums, "Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol.1" by Jill Scott.
Her 2000 debut was a neo-soul masterclass, and there is much to discuss. Many thanks to Kish for dropping in!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

In Episode 40, we talk about something topical and controversial... Captain America.
So Rochard (comic book expert) teaches Jesal (total novice) about what the hell is going on with some bloke called Nick Spencer and the creative decisions being taken by Marvel with regards to Captain America...
So within the comic books, he's been unveiled as a part of Hydra! He's staying well Hydra-ted! He's one of these punchable Alt-Right dudes!! He's in the Trump Cabinet!! So Captain America is like a Nazi or something? WTF IS HAPPENING!!!
It's a fascinating discussion, and the final third is all about #FakeNews and social media. We will probably upset everyone.

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.
In Episode 39, we take a retrospective look at three pivotal albums by those pesky Oxford rockers, Radiohead.
There are discussions on "The Bends" (1995); "OK Computer" (1997); and "Kid A" (2000).
It's a controversial look at three oft-revered albums, and it may well ruffle a few feathers. "OK Computer" is one of Jesal's favourite albums ever and it turns 20 soon.
