Show Notes
Hello! Here's another film club for ye, we watched Irish Jam with one of our favourite previous guests, Ronan Carey of Dreamgun & Sons. Irish Jam is a classic fish out of water tale about a street wise L.A. conman (played by Eddie Griffin) who ends up running a local pub in rural Ireland. It's not great, but boy we had fun watching it. If you want to hear more of this kind of craic you should go see a live version of Dreamgun, they just had a great run at the Dublin Fringe and they'll be performing all around Ireland and London this coming year.

Hello, hope you enjoyed the first real episode on Tuesday! Here's another shite talk episode to catch up with what we're at, and plug some live shows we have coming up:
What a week it's been for the nation, a moment we'll all remember and cherish. Many people said the country wouldn't be able to band together and pack it out, but thanks to everyone who helped us fill our Mindfield tent at Electric Picnic.
Hello! Here's the audio from our live show at the Mindfield tent at Electric Picnic. We mostly talked about former president Cearbhall ó Dálaigh but there was some shite talk about early music festivals and Joe Dolan as well. You can follow the slide show along here if you like, it'll be feel like you were there in the room!
Hello, here's another episode of us talking shite about our upcoming Electric Picnic show, if you're going to the festival come say hi on Sunday morning!
Hello! We're back with another film club episode; Lenny Abrahamson's 2007 film Garage. Possibly Pat Short's debut as a serious film actor and by god it's depressing, but definitely worth a watch. We've also started a Letterboxd list of every Irish film we could think of if you want to check it, and feel free to leave suggestions for more movies below! This is the pool we'll be taking future film club episodes from.
