Girlies for McGann33. The Hanging Gale (1995)After much clamoring and requesting of this title, the Girlies are finally tackling The Hanging Gale, the miniseries which not only features Paul, but also all three of his brothers! The four brothers star as a family of Irish farmers during the Great Famine, based on the McGanns' real family ancestry and developed by Stephen and Joe. Listen on for an in-depth discussion of the real history behind the series, a firm judgement on the boys' Irish accents, and which McGann the girls ended up with a crush on at the end.

The Undertaker (2025)After our wonderful surprise episode interviewing writer-director Michael Wright and star-producer Roger Barclay, the Girlies are back for a full-fledged episode discussing The Undertaker! (Sorry for those of y'all waiting on our Hanging Gale episode — this one's been in the works for quite some time!)After waiting several years for it to get a US release, Maggie and Katie are very excited for you to hear their discussion on the film, which includes praising the film's production design, discussing its unexpectedly otherworldly undertones, and dissecting Paul's rare role in a proper tragedy.

Recorded back in February while the Girlies were at Gallifrey One, this special interview (which will be followed shortly by a proper episode on the film) discusses how they managed to land Paul for the lead role of Arthur Morel, working with the late Murray Melvin, Wright's miniature work on the film, and much, much more.

We're continuing out Pride Month coverage this week with one of the...let's say "less beloved" films in Paul's canon: the 2009 horror comedy Lesbian Vampire Killers. Clearly a rip-off of both Shaun of the Dead and An American Werewolf in London, the poorly-titled film stars Mathew Horne and James Corden as a couple of hapless lads tasked with taking down a vampire coven, with some help from Paul as the village vicar. As it turns out, Maggie and Katie actually loved this one, so listen on for discussion of...2025-06-2352 minGirlies for McGann29. B&B (2017) Happy Pride Month 2025 y'all! To celebrate, the Girlies have chosen a couple of queer titles featuring Paul, and first up is B&B, the 2017 thriller co-starring Tom Bateman and Sean Teale about a couple of Londoners who end up trapped at a bed and breakfast with a homophobic owner and a rather unsavory fellow customer. Paul takes on a different kind of role in this film as the B&B's owner, Josh, a conservative Christian with his own unsavory ideas for the film's leading men.

Paul stars as the layabout face of a revolution in the series that's often considered his career-maker, alongside faces like Penelope Wilton and Jerome Flynn.

After a year of questions about when we're going to be covering it, Maggie and Katie are finally digging into Paul's feature film debut, the cult classic Withnail & I, co-starring Richard E. Grant. The Bruce Robinson-directed film is beloved by Paul fans, but it turns out we...didn't love it?Listen on to hear us dig into why this title doesn't really hit for us, as well as the things we *did* love, and some potentially gauche comparisons of certain characters to '60s music icons.
