Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!  Shirleon joins Melvin in summarizing and reliving the early DCOM era of television with The Luck of the Irish, a movie that wears its inspiration on its sleeve! From weird patriotism to grotesque food, the two have fun traveling back to the early '00s for some wacky-and-weird high-school hijinks! Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 49-minutes of discussing Denis Villeneuve's disinterest in "extended cuts" and "deleted scenes", why we're so enamored with extended/unrated cuts of movies, the concept of fan-edits, and the tragedy of lost versions of films. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)The Luck of the Irish isn't subtle in how it plays with ideas explored in Teen Wolf, although its various changes are far stranger.There aren't many showcases of food in the film that ostensibly isn't about food. Even so, every shot of food in this film is truly criminal.A main throughline of the film is a conversation on Irish-prejudice. Although this is a very real thing that took place in the U.S., and has also happened overseas, the heft with-which the movie tackles the topic is simultaneously absurd and overly serious.It isn't used enough, but the shrink-effect in the film is neat. There's some fun macro-props of otherwise small objects.So... like... does the general population know Leprechaun lore?Recommendations:PowerWash Simulator (2022) (Video Game)Rings (2005) (Short Film) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks! Early access to uncut episodes Vote on a movie/show we review One-time reward of two Cinematic Doctrine Stickers & PinsSocial Links: ThreadsWebsiteInstagramLetterboxdFacebook Group
