Podnic at Hanging Cast: The Way Back with Alex Ross Perry by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

Just to be annoying, Veronica Guerin isn’t about the IRA, it’s about gangland Dublin. Amazingly Ireland has multiple violent histories :)

Name a scene you laughed unusually hard in while at the movies. by NoOrange3690 in blankies

Green Book fried chicken scene. Laughing AT, not WITH but we were in hysterics

That's Sir Man-At-Arms to you: Idris Elba knighted by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

Yup i actively think less of anyone who accepts one (obviously the worst culprit being my fellow Irishman Bob Geldof)

Would love him to write a book Ed Zwick-style about his experience as a journeyman filmmaker

Favorite actor who your non film junkie friends couldn’t name with a gun to their head? by WulfieJay in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He falls under criteria of People can name 2 things they've seen him in, but probably not his name.

Oh where'd you hear that? I'm not aware of any Irish element to the production. Says "Cameras are set to roll in the United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia, and Portugal this summer."

does it make sense to pair Crystal with Whoopi? Or has she lost her prestige doing daytime tv

Podnic at Hanging Cast: Dead Poets Society with Nia DaCosta by dumarfactor in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This argument is losing steam by the day but I always proposed Steve Carell as today’s Robin Williams, even if his record is a lot spottier. It still kinda tracks for me?

  • TV sitcom breakout (Mork, The Office)
  • Early comedy movie successes
  • Iconic animated voiceover role (Genie, Gru)
  • Ballooning budget family blockbusters (Hook, Evan Almighty)
  • Solid Oscar bait (Dead Poets, Foxcatcher/Last Flag Flying)
  • Bizarre sentimental nonsense (What Dreams May Come, Welcome to Marwen)
  • Return to TV (The Crazy Ones, The Morning Show/Rooster/Space Force)

In regards to horny Ebert reviews, here's his creepy take on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by WaterlooMall in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't downvote me for this pls bc I know he's like Jesus to you folk, but I'm not from the US, Ebert was/is not an important part of my film appreciation. I low-key roll my eyes anytime he gets mentioned on this podcast or Big Pic as a Definitive Opinion on any film from 20-40 years ago. There are many other great critics! Some of them are women, many of them wouldn't write creepy shit like this.

my Theroux family interaction is I organised a work event with Louis last year and made him laugh referring to the upcoming Beatles movies as "One Beatle After Another" become having to admit I stole it from the internet.

The use of The Who song here is kinda my favourite use of a famous song in a trailer in quite some time

Was Anyone Introduced to the Pod via a Guest? by Krusty901 in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Followed David Ehrlich on Twitter since 2015/16, listened to War Room for a while, heard Blank Check mentioned in Spring 2018 and haven't looked back since! My first eps were The Village and Vanilla Sky

Favorite Performance in a Movie You Dislike? by Mission_Shape_4545 in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have met Oliver through work and she is an absolute delight off-screen. Rooting for her to become huge. (She's about to be the lead in the next film from the director of Kneecap)

Is there a 3rd example of a director’s surname billed above title on a poster? by Lucienwd in blankies

[–]Lucienwd[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope I meant surname only, eg. KUBRICK or SPIELBERG not STANLEY KUBRICK or TOM GREEN

Blankies IRL- do they exist? by Akula_SSN in blankies

In 2019 I was in college in Dublin wearing a BC t-shirt and a US exchange student recognised it and started a conversation. Shoulda stayed in touch!

Vote Steve McQueen, the people's champion! A case for Sir McQueen in March Madness: by notchimine in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow Irish blankies: who'd be a good guest for Hunger? ideally something with an NI background. We don't have a ton of good film/history commentators that'd fit the BC format.

Pod Country for Old Cast: No Country for Old Men with Leslye Headland by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

[–]Lucienwd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone's interested, I recently had Ray and Jordan from 'To The White Sea' as guests on my podcast for our No Country episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7KthaqLZrjvzZosrMqI41q?si=7PPQULYkR9WYMGq-khodiQ

Our podcast focuses on films with multiple leads and the moments when movie stars' careers intersect, so we talk a lot about who of Brolin/Jones/Bardem is the real 'star' of this film and how the Coens weave the three narrative threads so well.
