From writer/director Martin McDonagh comes Banshees of Inisherin (2022), a deeply sad and wildly hilarious movie about friendship on a remote island. This movie is sometimes referred to as the spiritual successor of In Bruges (2008) as it stars Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell. But is that an accurate statement? Tune in to hear Jim and A.Ron’s thoughts on this well-written and superbly acted film.
Martin McDonagh, director of Banshees of Inisherin, made his directorial feature debut with this dark comedy. Between the uneasy laughter, watch-between-your-fingers moments, and Catholic guilt, there’s a lot to unpack. Brendan Gleeson and Colin Ferrall play two hit men on a mysterious and fateful trip in Bruges. And it’s a Christmas movie. A miserable, vulgar Christmas movie.

The Batman is the darkest take on a Batman movie yet. It’s also a familiar Batman story, with some minor updates and a few twists. It has an excellent cast, (yes, Robert Pattinson is a good Batman) a memorable score, and it looks fantastic. Does all this add up to a great Batman movie? Check out the podcast to find out.
