Deep Dive begins at 37:00

"Remember, remember the 5th of November!" Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Liam (Megs & B-Tech Kev are off plotting revolutions elsewhere) – as we head to a dystopian future to dive into the political thriller V for Vendetta. We're also joined by a new and enigmatic revolutionary in BFF of the BFE: Synthia. We're donning our Guy Fawkes masks and questioning authority in our 263rd episode as we discuss:

• The powerful themes of rebellion, freedom, and identity at the heart of the film.


• How the performances of Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman bring emotional depth to this dystopian tale.


• The visual style and how it blends comic book origins with cinematic storytelling.


• The film's commentary on government surveillance and authoritarianism.


• If the romantic subplot was necessary (or even beneficial)


• Is this where Hermes gets his entire identity from


• What is with the links between Gordon & V?


• Do V's actions justify the means? Isn't that also the same logic the government makes?


• Whether V for Vendetta remains as relevant today as it was upon release.


• Whether V for Vendetta is the Best Film Ever.
