The formula is simple. Step one, read great Irish literature. Step two, write killer songs. It's worked pretty well for Euan Manning of Cardinals so far. The Irish songwriter for the Cork-based band rattles off writers who have influenced him, and my god does he have impeccable taste: Flann O'Brien, Martin McDonagh, Kevin Barry, among others. As I always say, a clear through line travels from reading great writing to writing great words. The debut album by Cardinals is Masquerade.
A 2000-es években sokan az új Marlon Brandót látták a lázadó szerepekben feltűnt ír fenegyerekben, az idén 50 éves Colin Farrellben, aki olyan emlékezetes filmekben játszott le mindenkit, mint Joel Schumacher fülledt thrillerje, "A fülke", de hidrogénezett hajú Nagy Sándorként is láthattuk Oliver Stone 2004-es eposzában, amely a világot előrehajtó, kozmopolita toleranciazsarnokot ünnepelte. Legemlékezetesebb alakítását az "In Bruges" című 2008-as drámában nyújtotta lelkiismeretfurdalástól kínzott kutyaszemű bérgyilkosként, valamint nemrég "A sziget szellemei" című, szintén Martin McDonagh-darabban - a Batman-világból kiemelt "Pingvin"-ként pedig önálló sorozatot kapott. Az ígéretes kezdet után Colin Farrell végül nem nőtt igazi sztárrá, talán mert a szemében sose a sikeréhség, hanem a whiskeyszomj tükröződött. Összességében a karrierje olyan, mint a Tottenham: nincs miért szégyenkeznie, de olyan hú de nagy ász se lett. Colin Farrell legemlékezetesebb filmjeiről és alakításairól beszélgettünk és nem egyszer vitatkoztunk, mert például a "SWAT" című akciófilm nem aratott köztünk osztatlan sikert.A beszélgetés résztvevői:Balázsy IstvánBezsenyi TamásCsunderlik PéterDékány LászlóLaska PálA Régen minden jobb volt a Tilos Rádió történelmi-popkulturális műsora:https://www.facebook.com/regen.minden.jobb.volt

De tiende aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. JP heeft een cadeautje voor William, omdat hij jarig is geweest. We hebben twee nieuwe maatjes op onze Patreon-pagina. We staan even stil bij het overlijden van een aantal mensen. William kwam er ineens achter dat er een nieuwe film van Martin McDonagh aankomt nl. ‘Wild Horse Nine'. Uiteraard proberen we weer te raden over welke film het sonnet van Marino gaat. Omdat we lang zijn weggeweest noemen we snel een aantal films die we hebben gezien en praten we uitgebreid over ‘I Swear', die we beiden zagen. JP zag ook ‘Project Hail Mary' in de bioscoop en om het blokje met feelgood films af te sluiten, bespreekt William ook kort nog even de film ‘Thelma' uit 2024. We trokken een ware B-film uit de kast nl. ‘The Giant Spider Invasion' uit 1975. In de Special bespreken we het filmjaar 2000 en uiteraard beantwoorden we ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. metal muziek in films, muziekartiesten die gaan acteren, wraakfilms, het opnemen van een live-podcast en bebloede vrouwen in films.

Currently making waves on the film festival circuit, The Butchers has screened at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival, where it won Outstanding Cast, and continues its run through major events including the 2026 Pendance Film Festival and Toronto Shorts International Film Festival—before its global release on YouTube.

Lee and Daniel get a little crazy this week as they talk about Martin McDonagh's "Seven Psychopaths" (2012). A meta commentary on the post-Tatantino crime film, and really just how films are made in general, it features an amazing cast, and the hosts have a lot to dig into this week. Also, in relation to the last episode on "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" (episode 363), the hosts respond to a blog post that makes a good case that the film had some deceptive myth-making behind it from the writer of the source material, Sam Greenlee. Also, Lee talks about what he's been watching as of late. Come out to the desert with us for a shoot-out... or maybe just some deep conversations about violence and redemption.

Danny joins me this week to discuss The Banshees of Inisherin, the haunting and darkly humorous film from director Martin McDonagh. Set against the backdrop of the Irish Civil War, the movie serves as a powerful anti-war allegory exploring friendship, isolation, and the devastating consequences of conflict on a small community. Danny shares why this thought-provoking story left such a lasting impression on him, as we dive into the film's performances, themes, and the emotional weight that lingers long after the credits roll.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And sometimes we're lucky enough to talk to the movie stars about their B-Sides. The great Sam Rockwell joins us today to chat about his new film, Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, as well as B-Sides like Lawn Dogs, Safe Men, Snow Angels, and The Winning Season. We marvel at the range Rockwell has, the sheer amount of films he's made (big and small alike), and the line reads from the Martin McDonagh comedy Seven Psychopaths.
At the beginning of a new series Sarah and Alex weigh the merits of the century's new writing. Will Sarah Kane or Joe Penhall take the 2000 crown? And what about Martin McDonagh's contribution to 2001? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the most inanimate time of the year! Kicking off our new Anthology series - Movies Set at Christmas, That Aren't Christmas Movies - the boys revisit one of their all-time favourites: In Bruges (2008). Tommy's been watching Diddy: The Reckoning (it's… a lot), while DL's juggling The Wheel of Time: Book 2 andTrue Grit the OG, both highly recommended. Then it's time to check into Belgium's darkest fairy tale, where the snow is festive, but the mood is not.Timecodes:(00:00) Intro(06:50) What Have You Been Up To?(20:50) MAIN TOPIC: In Bruges (2013)(22:00) Stupid Plot Summary(25:40) Plot(29:30) One human, the rest are Muppets?(30:38) Acclaim vs Success(40:40) Characters(45:30) Direction(50:31) Four Oscar Nominees...(51:53) TRIVIA: Fake or Not Fake?(57:17) Miscellaneous Notes(59:19) Tones & Themes(1:03:35) 3 Best & 3 Worst(1:08:17) Critical Reception(1:08:26) Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?(1:09:17) Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?(1:10:01) Trivia True or False(1:14:09) Wrapping UpMain Topic:In Bruges is Martin McDonagh's pitch-black comedy about guilt, purgatory, and accidentally kicking a dwarf. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson shine as two hitmen laying low after a job gone wrong, while Ralph Fiennes turns up to scream about principles. It's foul-mouthed, funny, and somehow heartfelt, like Home Alone if Kevin had PTSD and a Browning. DL calls it a masterpiece. Tommy would probably fight someone over that opinion. Everyone agrees: this is not a Christmas movie—but it kind of is.Is In Bruges the best anti-Christmas Christmas movie ever made? Let us know at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hit us up on socials.

We close out our holiday run It's Christmas and the Boys Are Sad with Martin McDonagh's In Bruges, a film that balances brutal violence, pitch-black comedy, and unexpected tenderness against a fairy-tale Christmas backdrop. Phil & Emily joined by writers and podcasters Clay Keller and Alan Sepinwall to unpack why this movie has only grown more beloved and more emotionally complicated over time.The conversation dives into Colin Farrell's career-defining performance, Brendan Gleeson's quiet moral gravity, and Ralph Fiennes' volcanic late-movie entrance. They explore McDonagh's dialogue rhythms, the film's strange tonal alchemy, and how Bruges itself becomes a purgatorial space beautiful, frozen in time, and quietly judgmental. Christmas lights, medieval towers, and European pageantry all heighten the sense that these characters are stuck between punishment and absolution.They also discuss the movie's reputation shift from cult hit to modern classic, its placement within McDonagh's broader body of work, and why In Bruges may be the most emotionally honest entry in the “sad men at Christmas” cinematic canon. Along the way, the group touches on Carter Burwell's melancholic score, the film's theatrical release context, and the way humor is used as both shield and confession.Whether you first saw In Bruges in theaters or came to it years later through word of mouth, this episode examines why the film still hits so hard and why it remains one of the defining dark comedies of the 2000s.

In this ZFF Masters session, Irish actor Colin Farrell reflects on his remarkable journey through over two decades in film — from his early days on set to becoming one of the most versatile performers of his generation. Farrell shares insights into the making of BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER, his latest collaboration with filmmaker Edward Berger, and what acting has given him over the years. He also looks back on his creative partnerships with some of cinema's most distinctive voices, including Yorgos Lanthimos and Martin McDonagh.

THE MIRACLE CLUB is a multiple protagonist, miniplot, story. That means that each protagonist is also an antagonist. Sounds cool, right? But how the heck do you pull it off? Well one of the ways is to give each POV character her own villain's monologue. This film misses on one character and you just have to hear what happens to the story because of it! Melanie continues her study of turning points and this week, she shows us how they impact a story's pacing.

Send us a textOn this episode of Speaking Of…College of Charleston, we have a great conversation with Joe Kelly, director of Irish and Irish American Studies and Colleen Glenn, director of film studies at the College about Irish books and movies. The colleagues first met playing softball with faculty from the English department and quickly became friends. They put their heads together and took a group of students to Ireland for a study abroad program, traveling from Dublin to Galway.“When we do those visits, the students follow our discussions of films, like In The Name of the Father and they're really able to see the landscape and the culture that inspired the movie they they saw on the big screen,” says Glenn.They recount trips around Ireland, emphasizing locations featured in Irish films such as Dublin, Galway, Connemara, and Belfast. Films discussed include The Quiet Man, Michael Collins and Banshees of Inisherin among others, illustrating the socio-political history and cultural identity of Ireland. The episode also touches on significant Irish cinematic movements and celebrates the storytelling legacy and literary richness of Irish culture.The way Kelly's describes the landscape, and the novels are a clear indicator of his knowledge and love for the country. He's an in-demand professor for a reason.“John Huston did a film version of The Dead, which is a very quiet story,” says Kelly. “And it ends with this beautiful scene where Gabriel Conroy is looking out the window at the snow falling onto the streets of Dublin and he imagines it falling across the mutinous Shannon waves and the bog of Allen and out onto the crooked crosses in the graveyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It's the most beautiful prose I've ever read and it's a absolutely beautiful 10 minutes of cinematography too.”Featured on this Episode:Joe Kelly, director of Irish and Irish American Studies at the College of Charleston, has been studying and writing about Irish literature since the 1990s, and in the last fifteen years he's been writing narrative histories about American democracy. His next book, The Biggest Lie: A Hundred Years of American Fascism, 1818-1918, will be out this time next year.Colleen Glenn, director of film studies at the College, teaches courses on film history and American Cinema as well as special topics courses on topics like Irish Cinema & Hollywood Auteurs.

The co-host of Friendship Dilemma, Morgan Gire, returns to the show to talk about Martin McDonagh's great, Oscar-nominated black comedy, "In Bruges," starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. While the film does take place during the holiday season, it's the bleak morality play and violence that take center stage. What actually happens to Farrell's character at the very end of the film? Do actors in movies really know how to use guns with blanks? What bird is the symbol for the dreamlike city of Bruges? All this, plus Kerry gives us three more titles from "1,001 Movies You must See Before You Die," one of which is a David Lynch film, which sparks a brief discussion of his work.

The tension starts with the title of this week's movie - The Banshees of Inisherin. Banshees cry right before someone dies. That's tension right there - who will it be? The anticipation about who is going to die is high because the outcome is unknown. Tension thrives with uncertainty. I also explore the idea of high and low tension in a story. Valerie is powering on with her study of the 4 Story Questions and showing why they are so important. If you don't want to waste years writing in circles, this episode will help you hold the story banshees at bay. -M"Tension is nested just like the units of story." - Melanie HillRelated Story Nerd EpisodesCalendar GirlsSeasons 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12 For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor
This week, Mark Tilley returns to the pod to discuss 2022's The Banshees of Inisherin, Colin's reunion with Martin McDonagh, the source of his first Academy Awards nomination, and frankly one of the key reasons we did this podcast in the first place. Is this movie the true successor to Italian neo-realism? Have we as a society properly reckoned with the crimes of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri? Two years on, is this movie's total shutout at the Oscars deeply embarrassing? Does the Brenan Gleeson Rushmore get so contentious it almost ruins a friendship? Do we all love Jenny the Donkey? The answers to these questions, and many more, can be found inside. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
