The Irish novelist has always been open to where life can unexpectedly take him, and the excitement that comes with that kind of freedom.Colm Toibin's first big move was from rural Ireland to Dublin after his father died when he was young. Then, it was off to experience the wild hedonism and sexual liberation of post-Franco Spain, a pleasant shock after needing a prescription to buy condoms in Ireland.Since then, he's journeyed to Sudan, Los Angeles, New York and beyond.Wherever Colm goes, he keeps a running list in his head of tiny details — observations of seemingly mundane encounters, an offhand comment or the cut of a lady's suit on a train.Every now and then, these details bubble up in Colm's memory and another of his well-loved novels, like Brooklyn, Nora Webster or The Master, is born.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris.

Book Vs. Movie: See How They RunThe 1947 Agatha Christie Play (Three Blind Mice) Vs the 2022 Sam Rockwell FilmAgatha Christie's radio play Three Blind Mice was introduced in 1947 and was the basis for 1952's The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in theater history. See How They Run (2022) is a clever, stylish murder mystery set in 1950s London. It blends classic whodunit tropes with a witty, self-referential twist. Directed by Tom George, the film follows world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) as they investigate the backstage murder of a Hollywood director who was set to adapt Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap for the screen. Between the original play and the film, did we prefer one over the other? Have a listen to find out!In this episode, the Margos discuss:Agatha Christie's theater productionsThe differences between the play and the movieThe cast includes: Sam Rockwell (Inspector Stoppard,) Saoirse Ronan (Constable Stalker), Ruth Wilson (Petula Spencer), Adrien Brody (Leo Kopernick), Kiernan Hodgson (Harley), Pearl Chanda (Sheila Sim), Gregory Cox (Major Metcalf), Harris Dickinson (Richard Attenborogh), Reece Shearsmith (John Woolf,) David Oyelowo (Mervyn Cocker-Norris) and Charlie Cooper as Dennis Corrigan).

This week, actor Keeya King – currently starring in the new thriller Guess Who, on Hollywood Suite in Canada and Tubi in the US – shares her love for Greta Gerwig's solo directorial debut Lady Bird, which found comedy and pathos in the everyday drama of Saoirse Ronan's Sacramento teenager. Your genial host Norm Wilner knows a thing or two about being an obnoxious teen, so this should be fun.
The year is 2007. Saoirse Ronan is thirteen years old and four years into her career and has just gotten her first Oscar nomination. This week, Mark Tilley returns to the podcast to discuss Atonement, Joe Wright's sweeping epic of forbidden love and overwhelming guilt. Listen as we heap praise on Wright, discuss the film's Oscar run, debate just how much of this movie is meant to be real, and perform some atonement of our own as we address this podcast's greatest shame.

This week, Above the Title celebrates Age Gap April with a look at Amy Heckerling's misbegotten May December romcom I Could Never Be Your Woman, starring Michelle Pfeiffer as an aging, divorced TV executive and Paul Rudd as the younger actor she falls for. We talk the film's lengthy and disastrous production, its poorly aged conception of feminism, and the ways both resonant and unsettling it seems to reflect Heckerling's biography. Plus: a young Saoirse Ronan in her first actual role, deep dives on both Pfeiffer and Rudd, and a lot of MCU talk. A weird amount of MCU talk. I actually cut a good portion of the MCU talk so just remember that when you're listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Directed by Nora Fingscheidt and adapted from Amy Liptrot's prizewining 2017 addiction memoir of the same name, The Outrun follows the recovery of young alcoholic Rona, and offers emotional turmoil in dramatic places. How will Mick, Yosra and Hannah cope with that? And it stars Saoirse Ronan. How will Hannah cope with that? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This week, season 2 of Above the Title begins with a look at the early television work of our new subject, Saoirse Ronan. First, there's The Clinic, a long running gentle soap opera about the personal lives of healthcare workers. Then, there's the second season of Proof, a gritty and short lived drama about journalists uncovering corruption. Is Saoirse in either of these to any degree more than just being a kid who can pop into a few scenes? No, not really, but hey, it's a completionist podcast, that's what you signed up for.

Janni Ree, Dennis Knudsen, Stepanie "Geggo" og Caroline Fleming er alle hyppige gæster i sladderspalterne. De er også forfattere. Litterat Lars Handested ser en tendens til historier, der tidligere havde været artikler i Se&Hør nu bliver trykt med hård ryg. Hvorfor skal der trykkes bøger med deres historier? Vi spørger forlagsdirektør hos Buster Nordic, der har udgivet Janni Rees nu forbudte bog - og har fem (!) yderligere bøger på vej med Janni Ree som forfatter. Torsdag er filmpremieredag. Vi ser på afhængighedsdramaet "The Outrun" med Saoirse Ronan i hovedrollen og taler i den forbindelse om den fulde kvinde i popkulturen. Vi kommer kommer også forbi en - ifølge Amalie Langballe - mindre vellykket gyser om børn og barnløse kvinder, Englebørn. Vært: Morten Runge

This weekend, you can catch a recording of the Donmar Warehouse production of Macbeth starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, directed by Max Webster. In this episode of the podcast, Alex discusses why this production is a must-see and why you should make time for it now and for recorded Shakespeare more generally. The best time to watch Shakespeare is when it's fresh. You learn something new from every Shakespeare production you see. Watching a bunch of productions of a Shakespeare play is one of the best ways to learn about directing. Watching a bunch of productions of a Shakespeare play is one of the best ways to learn about editing.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PLAN HERE. Judy and Linda discuss season 2 of "Squid Game" (오징어게임), starring Lee JungJae and Lee ByungHun. Next episode will be a First Impressions with "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" (중증외상센터), "The Trunk" (트렁크), "When the Phone Rings" (지금 거신 전화는), and "The Queen Who Crowns" (원경). Digressions: 0:52 - Judy has finally acquired a can of pine drink (솔의눈) and we drank it! Our first attempt at ASMR! 9:08 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails! 17:44 - "Borderlands" movie is irredeemably awful, and Judy can't figure out who is was made for, other than the actors who were extremely bored during the pandemic. 21:12 - Gasp! Linda watched "Revenant" (악귀) starring Kim TaeRi? New horizons have opened up! 24:02 - "Gladiator II" was so disappointing. If you have such an uncharismatic lead character, who am I supposed to root for? Judy is mad that there isn't enough Pedro Pascal. 29:03 - Linda finally watched "Mister Sunshine" (미스터 션샤인) and found it to be beautiful but long. 32:40 - Judy's new dinnertime show is "White Collar", starring Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay. 34:50 - Linda watched "Blitz" starring Saoirse Ronan on Apple TV, which is excellent for historical reference but aimless as a film. 37:55 - Judy started playing "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle", and is thrilled that she gets to be the whip-cracking archaeologist. 40:47 - Linda watched Part 1 of "Alienoid" (외계+인), and found it...interesting.

Arts and Media Correspondent Evelyn O'Rourke reports that award-winning Irish-language film Kneecap has scored six nods for the 2025 BAFTAs while Saoirse Ronan has been nominated in the Leading Actress category for her role in The Outrun and JJ Ó Dochartaigh - DJ Próval reacts to their nominations.
Katie and Joe are after a holiday hiatus!!! We're talking the 2019 film Little Women. There's so many versions of this movie and Katie swears it's the best one. Greta Gerwig truly does get the love she deserves for this movie. We really get into the movie details and Joe truly think Laurie is not a good person. Katie loves the performances by Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh. But at the end will Joe determine if this is in fact a good movie?
Starring Julia Garner from Ozark and Christopher Abbott from The Sinner, Wolf Man is the terrifying brand new film which features this fair isle! Dave caught up with the cast and the director to find out who is a scardy cat, who learned a cúpla focal and who is apologising to Saoirse Ronan?
Join me today as we discuss Saoirse Ronan's comments on Graham Norton, Ken Jennings apology on Jeopardy, Good/Bad Plastic Surgery and old sayings from Black and White movies.
Kelsi and Trey dive into the coming of age world of Little Women, comparing Gillian Armstrong's beloved 1994 adaptation with Greta Gerwig's 2019 reimagining. We unpack how each version interprets Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, from Armstrong's heartfelt, linear approach that leans into nostalgia and emotional honesty to Gerwig's two-timeline structure, which reframes the story as a reflection on memory, ambition, and the relationship between commerce and art. We also explore the performances—Winona Ryder's fiery Jo versus Saoirse Ronan's restless, modern take—and debate Laurie's evolution, Amy's redemption arc, and how both films portray love, art, and community.

On this week's show, Slate experts June Thomas (author of A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture) and Dan Kois (author of Hampton Heights: One Harrowing Night in the Most Haunted Neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) fill in for Dana and Julia. First, the trio tackles Blitz, director Steve McQueen's new film about the German bombings of London during World War II, which stars Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson, and randomly, Paul Weller. For a McQueen movie, it's quite traditional – predictable plot beats, an easy to understand moral viewpoint – but as a piece of culture, does it work? Is the film informative and incredibly ambitious? Or didactic and boring? Then, the panel unravels HBO's Get Millie Black, a British crime drama set in Kingston, Jamaica. Created by Marlon James, the five-part detective series delivers a good, old-fashioned mystery (there's corruption! Familial complications! Rich queer narratives! And way too much voiceover!) that reveals itself slowly, like peeling back the layers of an onion. Finally, can a “vibe” be copyrighted, in a world built on copying? The hosts pour over “Bad Influence,” a reported piece by The Verge about the groundbreaking legal case between two lifestyle influencers that has the potential to radically alter the online commerce industry. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses movie credits and debates the merits of sitting through them. We are still taking questions for our annual call-in show!

Is the film informative and incredibly ambitious? Or didactic and boring? Then, the panel unravels HBO's Get Millie Black, a British crime drama set in Kingston, Jamaica. Created by Marlon James, the five-part detective series delivers a good, old-fashioned mystery (there's corruption! Familial complications! Rich queer narratives! And way too much voiceover!) that reveals itself slowly, like peeling back the layers of an onion. Finally, can a “vibe” be copyrighted, in a world built on copying? The hosts pour over “Bad Influence,” a reported piece by The Verge about the groundbreaking legal case between two lifestyle influencers that has the potential to radically alter the online commerce industry. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses movie credits and debates the merits of sitting through them. We are still taking questions for our annual call-in show!

Disclosure in Podcast Description: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond.

"The Outrun" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received high praise for Saoirse Ronan's performance as a young woman recently out of rehab for alcoholism who returns home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland.

We Can't Talk About That Right Now with Bebe and Jessie Cave
In this episode we talk about SAD, Boobs, and do we have depression or anxiety or anxious depression? We also discuss The 27 club and how 27 is the age of being seen as a proper grown up, being afraid of change once you have a mum (jessie's fear of a mum bob), the self-soothing powers of keeping a diary. Bebe discusses being triggered by the Moby song ‘Why does my heart feel so sad”. Do we remember being 10?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Louisa May Alcott's 1868 novel, credited with starting the new genre of young adult fiction. When Alcott (1832-88) wrote Little Women, she only did so as her publisher refused to publish her father's book otherwise and as she hoped it would make money. It made Alcott's fortune. This coming of age story of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March, each overcoming their own moral flaws, has delighted generations of readers and was so popular from the start that Alcott wrote the second part in 1869 and further sequels and spin-offs in the coming years. Her work has inspired countless directors, composers and authors to make many reimagined versions ever since, with the sisters played by film actors such as Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, Saoirse Ronan and Emma Watson.

We have Irish acting royalty joining us this week - and my new best friend - the fabulous Saoirse Ronan! We managed to grab lunch with Saoirse in the midst of promo for 2 incredible film projects, Steve McQueen's Blitz & her very own The Outrun. Fresh from her viral appearance on Graham Norton, Saoirse told us all about growing up between NYC and Ireland, her iconic mum Monica, her love of Vegemite & Barry's Tea, how she met her husband, being on film sets from a very young age and all about the joint love her family have for John Travolta. Plus, mum surprises us all this week with an epic version of the story of Skimbleshanks, who knew she was hiding that talent?! And who needs her on a new audiobook reading??

We begin November with an absolutely packed episode of movie reviews and news here at Breakfast All Day. First, we discuss the worst of this week's new movies: "Here," which reunites the director, writer and stars of "Forrest Gump." The idea behind Robert Zemeckis' film, based on a graphic novel, had potential: The camera doesn't move the whole time as we watch peoples' lives play out over centuries and decades. Among them are Tom Hanks and Robin Wright's characters, stuck as everyone is in the same living room. It's ambitious, but we kinda hated it. In theaters. Next is a movie we loved: "Blitz," from writer-director Steve McQueen ("12 Years a Slave," "Shame," "Small Axe"). Saoirse Ronan and excellent newcomer Elliott Heffernan play a mother and son struggling to get back to each other after being separated during the London Blitz of World War II. You know from the first shot that you're in the hands of a true artist. In theaters now and streaming on Apple TV+ starting Nov. 22 (but you really should see it in a theater if you can). Then, we review "Juror #2," which may be 94-year-old Clint Eastwood's final film as director. He's made a solid, old-fashioned courtroom drama about a juror in a homicide trial (Nicholas Hoult) who realizes he knows more about the case than he'd like to admit. This is an extremely well-made movie for grown-ups, with a strong supporting cast that includes Toni Collette, Chris Messina, J.K. Simmons and Zoey Deutch. In limited release. Finally, we also really loved "A Real Pain," starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as estranged cousins who travel to their beloved grandmother's homeland of Poland after her death. Both give nuanced performances and Eisenberg, as writer and director, shows a great mastery of tone. In theaters. And if it's Friday, it's time for Movie News LIVE! Among today's topics were Teri Garr, Disney +'s Look Ahead, Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer and the trailer for the new "Paddington" movie. Join us for our livestreams every Friday at Noon Pacific.

We remember actor Teri Garr, who died last week at age 79. She charmed audiences in her film roles and appearances on late night TV. She's best known for her role as the dim witted seductive lab assistant to Gene Wilder's mad scientist in Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein. She was later nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Tootsie. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Garr became a spokeswoman for MS research and support. She spoke with Terry Gross in 2005. Also, Justin Chang reviews the new World War II drama Blitz, directed by Steve McQueen and starring Saoirse Ronan.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
