Hiya, Void! Happy St. Paddy's Day! Draw yourself a Guinness, perhaps even a drop of the ol' bottle, and let's dive into Irish history and the beginning of the Republic of Ireland 700 years too late. Is this story complicated, bloody, and silly? Yes. We discuss Liam Neeson being really tall yet sneaky, Alan Rickman as the devious politician ('cause of course he is), and Julia Roberts' weird accent (there has to be one in every Irish movie). This film is about flipping the script on the British Empire and removing Charles Dance way faster than we were expecting. All silliness aside now, this is a film about the birth of the modern terrorist textbook and the man who would lay down arms for the Irish Republic.
This podcast contains fewer bad Irish accents from our hosts than we thought.
