How you doin? We're back with FRIENDS of the Podcast: our Friends retrospective and could we be any more excited? Ian and Georgia are here on a Central Perk Saturday and moving onto all things Season 2 of the hit 90s cultural juggernaut as we discuss Season 2, Episode 3: The One Where Heckles Dies, featuring an interview with Mr. Heckles himself, Larry Hankin. We're reviewing an episode that's tries to keep the noise down as we discuss:
- There's some real-time discussion of the recent Titan submersible disaster
- We say goodbye to Mr Heckles and say hello to Mr Treger
- What version of Ross do we hate the post
- Is this the weakest combination of B and C plots that FRIENDS has ever had?
- We talk to Larry Hankin for about 30 minutes: find out which member of the cast he thinks is the most talented
- We discuss which parts of the episode are the best for water cooler discussion

Previous Episode
Episode 179 - Carrie (1976)
1 RecommendationsThey're all gonna laugh at you! Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia (Meg's hiding under the stage, ready to tip the bucket) as we're heading to Prom with a guy that's got a helmet of hair in the Brian De Palma classic adaptation of Stephen King's horror debut, Carrie. We're doing etymology on 'dirty pillows' in our 179th episode as we discuss:
- The believeability that Carrie wouldn't have heard of a menstrual cycle at age 17
- The number of times that Miss Collins should have been fired in this film
- Whether the film made Sue & Tommy's intentions clear or if they purposely kept us in the dark (and how it's a much better film in one of those ways)
- Liam asks if we should forgive Carrie in the end
- Did they have to go the dream-sequence route in the final sequence?
- What exactly is Tommy's plan here? Why does he kiss Laurie?
- Whether or not Carrie is the Best Film Ever

Next Episode
Episode 180 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
1 RecommendationsWe've been doing this for 3 years now but just like Dr Jones says, it's not the years, it's the mileage. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, and Ethan (Liam, Megs, and Georgia kept their eyes open when the ark was opened) as we're travelling all over the world but we're doing it by map in the 1981 debut of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. We're digging in the right place in our 180th episode as we discuss:
- The hard to believe original name Lucas thought of for Indiana Jones
- The hard to believe original name cast as Indiana Jones
- What the appeal is for Indiana Jones in a world where James Bond exists
- An absolutely ludicrous idea George Lucas had for Marion's backstory
- Just how influential this film seems to be on blockbuster films (and television) in the last 45 years
- Which comic book villain sneaks into this film but might have been less brilliant and more lazy
- Whether or not Raiders of the Lost Ark is the Best Film Ever
