Episode 266 - Shallow Grave (w/ KevDog from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die)

(Deep Dive begins at 44:45)

"Some friendships are worth killing for." Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Official KevDog from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die (Megs, B-Tech Kev & Liam are off trying to dispose of a suitcase full of cash) – as we head to the world of twisted morality, paranoia, and early Danny Boyle brilliance in Shallow Grave (1994). We’re swapping the peaceful Amish countryside for a grimy Edinburgh flat and diving into our 266th episode as we discuss:

• How Ewan McGregor, Kerry Fox, and Christopher Eccleston create one of the most dysfunctional trios in cinema.  Are any of them likeable?
• Danny Boyle’s energetic directing style and how it shaped his career.
• Would we call ourselves hard boyled or medium boyled
• The film’s dark humor – does it still land in 2024?
• Is Kerry Fox doomed to be the answer to an obscure trivia question
• Who is the biggest villain of the movie: greed, paranoia, or one of the three roommates?
• Would you ever trust your roommates with this much money?
• We talk about The Kansas City Chiefs getting destroyed in the SuperBowl and discuss the price of eggs
• Whether Shallow Grave is the Best Film Ever.
