Transatlantic Rebels

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.

44: Zara Larsson - "So Good"

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.

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!
