In Inisherin & Bruges #069

In this episode, Dhruv welcomes back Mike to discuss the latest tragi-comedy from British-Irish playwright, screenwriter, and director Martin McDonagh - "The Banshees of Inisherin." As the film celebrates the director's reunion with two key cast members from "In Bruges" - Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson - we decide to look back at McDonagh's 2008 directorial debut too, mainly to note how much more we prefer Inisherin's hell to Bruge's purgatory. Listen to the full, spoiler-filled episode to learn about Colin Farell's incredible eyebrow acting, McDonagh's remarkable ability to make one cry and laugh simultaneously in "Banshees," and why, for Mike, "In Bruges" doesn't really hold up.
