Brenda Fricker became the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award for her performance in the film “My Left Foot”. She began her career with parts in Ireland's first soap opera Tolka Row, ITV's Coronation Street, and became a household name as the nurse Megan Roach in Casualty on the BBC. Her friend and fellow actress Anna Friel pays tribute.The BBC's long-serving correspondent David Willey was a renowned authority on the Vatican, covering the lives and deaths of five popes. Before he settled in Rome, David had travelled widely for the BBC, reporting from Algeria, the Vietnam War and China just after the communist revolution. Two of his colleagues, former Chief News Correspondent Kate Adie and International Editor Jeremy Bowen, share their memories of working with him.The name David Austin is forever indelibly associated with the rose growing business. He created some of the most sought after roses, naming new varieties after fictional or real-life people, including Gabriel Oak from Far From the Madding Crowd, the actress Dame Judi Dench and ceramicist Emma Bridgewater - who pays tribute to him alongside Gardeners' World presenter Sue Kent.Wally Funk broke records as the oldest person to go to space onboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Rocket in 2021. In the early 1960s she was part of a group of women known as the Mercury 13 who were tested to see if they could compete with male astronauts for a place in the American space programme. But the project was abandoned and her hopes dashed. Loretta Hall, who co-wrote her memoir, tells us her story.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 391 by previewing football season for patrons before a laugh about Scott's father-in-law hijacking the family's evening. They hit the Mariners' 100-game .500 mark, reminisce about the Big Red Machine, then shift to the World Cup, where both stayed hooked long after Team USA's exit. Mitch and Scott rave about teenage phenom Lamine Yamal, poke fun at FIFA's halftime show, preview Seahawks camp, Ryan Fox's British Open win, and Bryson DeChambeau's penalty. Ray Roberts and Mitch discuss Seattle's new ownership, why the defending Super Bowl champs still seem overlooked, and what the Seahawks gained—and lost—this offseason. Roberts also shares hilarious training camp stories, from sneaking home to sleep in his own bed to finally meeting childhood hero Ed "Too Tall" Jones, the player who inspired him to wear No. 72. Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down another uneven Mariners series as Seattle reaches the 100-game mark at 50-50. They argue Dan Wilson has become an unfair scapegoat for a flawed roster, praise Cole Young's continued rise, and discuss Julio Rodríguez's return, Colt Emerson's progress, and looming roster decisions. Mitch welcomes three beat reporters who know the Mariners' top draft picks better than anyone. Sam Sklar breaks down first-round slugger Ace Reese, Koki Riley explains why LSU outfielder Jake Brown could become a second-round steal, and Scott Springer profiles Cincinnati right-hander Nathan Taylor, whose bulldog mentality and dominant slider made him one of the draft's best values. Together, they provide an inside look at Seattle's newest wave of talent and what fans can expect from each prospect.

Academy award winner, Brenda Fricker, invited Brendan into her home to talk about the events that have shaped her life. Her memoir is called 'She Died Young - A Life in Fragments' - published by Head of Zeus. And her new film, The Swallow, is on release at selected cinemas. The interview covers difficult themes.
This Culture File Digital Single meets Filmmaker, Tadhg O'Sullivan who speaks about his new film starring Brenda Fricker, The Swallow, a watery, elegiac meditation on memory and loss, and memory loss.
The Munsons shift gears from one of Hollywood's biggest stars to one of its most grounded character actors—Robert Forster. After Kyle recounts a run-in with Thomas McKenzie (and maybe the Bird Lady, Brenda Fricker?), we dive into Forster's remarkable and often overlooked career. The box office spreadsheet shows a stark contrast from Harrison Ford—going from first to nearly last—but Forster's story is anything but small. Entering Hollywood completely naive, he built a career on perseverance, a little luck (as he himself admitted), and an unshakable authenticity. We unpack the tragic and surreal story of his mother's self-immolation, his complete comfort with full frontal nudity on screen (respect), and his uncanny ability to ground films—whether they were good, bad, or somewhere in between. Was he one of the few actors who could have brought Max Cherry to life in Jackie Brown? The Munsons think so. Along the way, we discuss his repeated turns as law enforcement officials, debate whether “perfectly cromulent” defines his acting style, and reflect on his late-career roles before his passing from a brain tumor in 2019. This episode celebrates a man who may not have been a box office titan, but was the quiet engine behind some truly great films. Where does Robert Forster rank on the Munson Meter? Listen and find out.
The Swallow, a feature film by Tadhg O'Sullivan featuring Academy Award winning actress Brenda Fricker, will be released in select Irish cinemas from September 19th. The film was shot on location in Co. Clare. To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by the man behind The Swallow, the Clare-based filmmaker, Tadhg O'Sullivan.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget wave their arms at a baseball game as they re-watch the Disney classic: Angels in the Outfield! Come along as we meet Roger, a foster child living in a temporary home with his BFF J.P, who's also a foster child and it's SAD, GUYS. When his deadbeat dad tells him that they'll only ever be a family again if the California Angels baseball team wins the pennant, Roger prays to God for some help - and he/she listens! For some reason, that prayer gets listened to! Don't! Ask! Questions! Roger and J.P. watch as the Angels begin to win in miraculous ways and they convince the coach that it's angels, which honestly he just radically believes and it's great. This movie brings on all the tears as it asks the deep questions, such as: Why are people so willing to believe in God but not other miraculous things? Why didn't anyone punch Roger's deadbeat dad in the face multiple times throughout this movie? WILL J.P. EVER BE GIVEN THERAPY BECAUSE HE'S CRYING WAY TOO MUCH FOR MY LIKING!? All this and more in this emotionally charged Disney film! Released in 1994, it stars Danny Glover, Brenda Fricker, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd, Ben Johnson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Milton Davis Jr., Adrien Brody, Matthew McConaughey, and Dermot Mulroney.

“Another sympathetic reaction is watching people above the age of 30 fall on their backs. How is he walking?!” New friend of the show Amber Flannery Field – the only good tour guide in New York City – stops by to discuss Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Strap the heck in for a discussion on the highly protected institution of the white American boy, the “clean-up” of New York City in the 90s, the racial politics of tourism, power, homelessness, violence and – look out below – Brenda Fricker. Settle in and learn why they call Amber “America's comic.” Also, what is a Lynchian couch? Gotta listen ‘til the end. This is about Home Alone 2, by the way.
While this is definitely a Christmas movie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York should not have been made. It's a remake of Home Alone that came out 2 years before, but with worse pacing and less stakes. Written by John Hughes, directed by Chris Columbus, and starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Tim Curry, Brenda Fricker, and Catherine O'Hara. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

It's like Die Hard for kids but Patrick Stewart is there and it's also kinda like Hackers but... not as smart? Yes, it's 1997's Masterminds and Nathan and Brendan discussed it this week. While Brendan stans hard for Brenda Fricker, Nathan points out all the non-lethal violence in a movie with a whole lot of guns. They also discuss taxi radios, the insane opening hacking sequence, the lead character doing serial killer stuff and much more. Next week: A big nerd-fest full o' nerds.
