27. The Luck of the Irish: A Questionable Portrayal

Kyle Johnson has it all, he’s the luckiest guy in school, but I’m sure that has nothing to do with the gold coin he wears around his neck or the fact that he’s parents insist that they are just American and not anything else heritage wise. Oh wait what’s that? Not only is his mother actual Irish after all but she’s also in fact a leprechaun??? That’s right listeners we’re discussing the 2001 Saint Patrick’s Day classic, The Luck of the Irish. Jake calls out the American propaganda of this film, Kate talks about our Irish dancing friend, and both of them discuss the stereotypes this movie presents. This episodes tangents include but are not limited to: Kates Eventful 2 Weeks, Orlando Dreams, Why is it always Heritage Day?, DCOMs and Potato Chips, Irish Dance, Irish Festivals, Our Friend Hannah, and American Propaganda.
