Podcast appearances and mentions of Paddy Breathnach

Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Conor Murphy, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This September, the podcast is going back to school, covering the films on the Irish Leaving Certificate that we have yet to cover. This time, Paddy Breathnach's Rosie. As the Irish housing crisis gets worse, one family struggles to survive and to stay together over the course of a turbulant 36 hours. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

This week on Screentime John Fardy talks to the Acclaimed Irish Director Paddy Breathnach about his latest series ‘The Dry' about a woman struggling to stay sober as well as his highly-regarded movies ‘Rosie' and ‘I Went Down'. Does the world need a movie based on a fantasy role playing game? Paula Wiseman reviews ‘Dungeons and Dragons; Honour Among Thieves'. Plus Andrew Legge the director of the inventive new time-warping movie ‘Lola'

THE CONVO: Grammy Award winner Billie Eilish is planning on giving a special performance at the 2020 Oscars. Also, 2011 Steven Soderbergh movie Contagion is suddenly up in the iTunes charts presumably because of the Coronavirus. THE FLICKS: Rosie - This is a film that should be grouped together with the last couple of Ken Loach movies I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You as they are all damning stories of lower-class struggle in the United Kingdom, glaring truth that is just going to get worse. Coming from acclaimed filmmaker Paddy Breathnach, this is the story of Rosie Davis, a mother of four who is desperately looking for a place to sleep and live temporarily after their landlord evicts after selling the house from under them. While her husband works shift after shift for an uncaring employer, Rosie is the only person fighting to keep their family from becoming destitute and homeless in a film that always feels incredibly real and palpable. When the final credits hit I need to give myself a minute to collect my emotions that had been shattered over the hour and a half of this tragic story. These are the films that are most important right now. Parasite - This film was an amazing way to start out my coverage of this year's Vancouver International Film Festival, some great Korean cinema from one of the masters, Bong Joon-Ho. In his return to all Korean film, he tells the story of a family of con artists who grift their way into a rich family's lives as a chauffeur, housekeeper, tutor and personal assistant respectively. They think they've hit the big time until the former housekeeper shows them a deep secret that she's been hiding in their employer's house that blows everyone's situation up. Joon-Ho crafts another incredible masterpiece of a movie that's filled with twists, incredible cinematography and the amazing ability to tell stories within a story. He never relents in showing that he is not only one of the greatest Korean storytellers today but one of the best in cinema today. This is your chance to check out the movie before it wins a Best Picture Oscar, the first foreign film to do so. Steve Stebbing is Movie connoisseur and critic.
