"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.
