002 - The Avengers (1998)

George Grimwood joins Jeremy to talk about The Avengers, the 1998 film version of the classic 1960s TV series, in which their conversation includes chat about the correct way to pronounce Ralph Fiennes' name, geographically accurate chase scenes and the worst film in the world.Note: this episode was recorded in 2015, before Suzy Eddie Izzard came out as transgender, and therefore male pronouns are used to refer to her.
