For Your Consideration

FYC Bloom's Movember Meadow miniseries continues! As promised, Joey, Peter and Connor are finally getting round to doing all the Movember considerations they owe to the kind donators of last year's campaign. On this week's bonus episode, friend of the show, Emily Thomas (you can call her Almily), has asked the guys to discuss Lana Del Rey's 2021 album, Chemtrails over the Country Club. There's no better way to enjoy the springtime today than to nibble on a leaf of wild garlic, admire a duckling from afar, and listen to this new episode of FYC Bloom on your daily walk. 

Our theme tune is by Mark Deering.

Welcome to FYC Bloom's Movember Meadow miniseries! As promised, Joey, Peter and Connor are finally getting round to doing all the Movember considerations they owe to the kind donators of last year's campaign. On this week's bonus episode, friend of the show, Debbie Zhou, has asked the guys to discuss their favourite springtime films. There's no better way to enjoy the spring showers across Ireland today than to cosy up with a warm pot of tisane and listen to this new episode of FYC Bloom.

On today's show, the guys are joined by new friend, Clare Maunder, who wants you to reconsider the value of trees, and maybe even given them a hug. Joey states his case for you to get off your high horse and give country music a chance to win you over; Connor's fancy is tickled by the new film I Blame Society, directed, starring and co-written by film/troublemaker Gillian Wallace Horvat, and Peter revisits the Christine and the Queens' album, Chaleur Humaine that was first released in 2014 only to be re-released en anglais in 2015. Give that beautiful flower a sniff, and enjoy the latest episode of For Your Consideration.

The guys are joined by a very special guest today, but if only Connor could remember his name...oh, that's right! Lewis Howlett is on the show today to discuss George Orwell's 1984 with his big brother. Joey considers the Tommy Tiernan Show; Peter taps his toe to the folk melodies of Laura Marling, and Connor nibbles on some delicious baked plantain. All this, plus a shocking announcement from Lewis, more meat mash talk and another (not empty, we swear) promise of the Movember Considerations restarting next week. Put your feet up, enjoy the sunshine with a nice lolly and stick on FYC Bloom to annoy your neighbours.

FYC is back with a new sense of life after a long winter's hibernation. The Waterpark has been closed down after running out of rubber dinghies, but season 7 of For Your Consideration is moving forward with a bit of spring in its step. 

We're back to basics with considerations and reconsiderations, and on today's show (published a little after being recorded, so some of the information may be somewhat dated), James McCleary is back in the guest chair. This time, he's not having another pop at Christopher Nolan but discussing Apple TV+'s delightful Ted Lasso. Joey is excited about the new season of Taskmaster on Channel 4; Connor recommends Judas and the Black Messiah as a must-watch watch at home whilst the cinemas are still shut, and Peter once again (re)considers Arlo Parks, who since the closure of the Waterpark has released her début album, Collapsed in Sunbeams. Tune in to hear some delightful birdsong (hello to Jason Isaacs) and to find out what native Irish flora Peter, Joey and James are in Connor's twisted mind.

For the season finale, Markéta Ní Eithir enters the Diving Pool to discuss just what makes Marilyn Monroe so captivating to watch on screen.  In Splash Zone, Peter discusses Dolly Alderton's début novel, Ghosts (2020). Joey listens to Bob Dylan get in the Christmas spirit with Christmas in the Heart (2009) whilst Connor feels at home listening to The Yobs' punk rendition of 'Silent Night/Stille Nacht' and considers classic punk covers (also check out 'Twelve Days of Christmas' by The Yobs for some real festive cheer).  Plus, the guys get festive and discuss their favourite non-punk Christmas tunes, and Connor reveals some of the strange things he would eat in the cinema as a teenager.

In our sixth section of Movember Considerations, Savvy Hanna gets a consideration of the 4 Chrises, and a mysterious James McClintosh requests a consideration of 1 man versus 100 killer penguins on an island, thanks to their generous donations to our campaign. We are delighted to announce that we raised €1,170 for Movember this year thanks to the many kind donations of our listeners, but you are more than welcome to keep donating to this valuable cause if you are able. We will keep doing our Movember when we are back for the new season in the new year and out of the Waterpark...

On today's show, returning friend of the show Savvy Hanna joins the FYC Enterprise in the Diving Pool, and highly illogically recommends Star Trek (1966-1969). In Splash Zone, Connor fondly reminisces over poohsticks and laments the lack of bridges in Dublin, forgetting the Ha'penny bridge like an absolute plonker. Joey listens to Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, whilst Peter is profoundly moved by Asif Kapadia's documentary character studies of Senna (2010) and Diego Maradona (2019). 

In our fifth section of Movember Considerations, Lola Fleming and Jessica Timlin get personally considered thanks to their generous donations to our campaign. We are delighted to announce that we raised €1,170 for Movember this year thanks to the many kind donations of our listeners, but you are more than welcome to keep donating to this valuable cause if you are able. We will keep doing our Movember considerations next week and when we are back for the new season in the new year...
