Episode #305: The Banshees of Inisherin

Welcome everyone to Reel Film Nerds podcast 305.  Today Mike and Matt review a film that is lighting up the awards scene, The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Off topics include kayaking, Star Tours, and our first giveaway of 2023!  For the second podcast of the year your hosts already don’t agree, that is a first! The Banshees of Inisherin is not a film for everyone. It is sad, dark, depressing, and humorous. It is your typical art house or independent type film. The acting is incredible, the sets are beautiful, and the story is very thought provoking, well to one of your hosts. There are ways you can read into the film, think about what it means, and how it pertains to your life or it might just come off really weird to you. Can you guess which host went what way? Our ratings will tell you.  Mike Talent was not a fan of The Banshees of Inisherin. He thought it was just weird and boring, awarding it 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really liked it and read into it quite a bit especially how it pertains to his own life. He awards the film 4 out of 5 Reels.    Shocked? Yeah we are too. Mike is usually the hardcore film guy getting a ton out of smaller indie films. Not this time, I wonder if Matt is maturing? Nah there were a ton of f-bombs in this one.  Next week Mike and Matt head to the theaters to catch their first horror film of the year, M3GAN (2023) starring Allison Williams and Violet McGraw.
