For Your Consideration

FYC are doing Movember once again! We are offering considerations and mini deep-dives on your chosen topic per €10 donation—please specify which you'd like in your donation message! If you'd like to get involved or donate (or both), then you can check out our page on the Movember website: https://moteam.co/for-your-consideration.

On today's show, the guys are joined by Misha Fitzgibbon in the Diving Pool to discuss the fascinating (and rather wonderful) music of Joe Pesci. On Splash Zone, Peter considers Tayari Jones' 2018 novel, An American Marriage; Joey lifts off with Psyonix and Panic Button Games' Rocket League, and Connor picks up a prickly pear. But does he use the claw, as a wise bear once told him to? Plus, as promised, what essentials and luxuries would the gang harbour for their zombie apocalypse survival pack? See if you can guess who said an encyclopaedia.

Misha's new podcast, In Fairness, is available on Spotify and Acast.

In our first section of the month's Movember Considerations, friends of the show, Emily Thomas, Matty Rafferty and Nicky Merriman all get personally considered and rated out of 10, 5 and 12 thanks to their generous donations to our campaign. If you want to be considered, or pick a topic for us to discuss, then donate €10 to our page (listed above) and write down what you'd like to receive from us.

Brian Murray joins the guys today for some Water Aerobics as FYC launches 2020's Movember campaign. This is the second FYC campaign, and whilst we can't do all the crazy stuff we'd usually like to (such as shaving off Peter's eyebrows), we are offering considerations and mini deep-dives on your chosen topic per €10 donation—please specify which you'd like in your donation message! If you'd like to get involved or donate (or both), then you can check out our page on the Movember website: https://moteam.co/for-your-consideration. Brian was a key member of the last team we assembled, so he's in the pool today to talk about some of his memories from that campaign. In Splash Zone, Peter asks you very kindly to watch Boy (Taika Waititi, 2010), ya frickin' egg; Joey dances in the dark to the new Bruce Springsteen album, Letter to You, and Connor attempts to turn you on to blue pumpkins. En plus, weird and useless talents are discussed aplenty during Olympic Freestyle.

For this special bonus of FYC season 6, the guys are joined by Cáit Murphy to discuss her petition to protect James Joyce's 'House of the Dead' at 15, Usher's Island in Dublin. The house is of remarkable literary and historical significance to Joyceans, Dubliners, and anyone invested in preserving Irish cultural heritage. For more information, check out and sign Cáit's petition on Change.org.

You can also keep up to date with the campaign on Cáit's Twitter: @caitmurphy10.

Why is the water running red, you ask? Well that's because there's a zombie apocalypse going on, silly! All tricks 'n' the odd treat at the FYC Waterpark, just in time for Hallowe'en. On today's absolutely terrifying episode, the guys are joined by horror obsessive Emily Guiney, who discusses the lasting significance of the zombie subgenre. In Splash Zone, Joey feels nostalgic for events he never attended thanks to the evocative resonance of Christy Moore's recorded live music; Peter gets schwifty to the Japanese House, and Connor gets lost in Maryland woodland with the Blair Witch game on Xbox One from Bloober Team. All this frightening content, plus Peter reveals he has no taste as a result of his toxic hatred of artistic masterworks (from the horror genre), and Olympic Freestyle launches a discussion over what specific day the FYC team would re-live forever. 

SPOILER WARNING: this episode features spookily spoilerific chats about the films Night of the Living Dead, REC, and both versions of Dawn of the Dead.

It may be raining outside, but that doesn't stop FYC Waterpark from causing mischief! Returning friend of the show, Jessica Timlin, is in the Diving Pool today to discuss Justin Simien, filmmaker, writer and podcaster extraordinaire. The guys also discuss their favourite outdoor swimming pool memories, including Peter's heroic rescue of a childhood toy in the deep end, and that nice picture Connor once saw of a hot tub in Switzerland on his Instagram feed. In the Splash Zone, Peter gives a lukewarm plop of Schitt's Creek (Dan Levy and Eugene Levy, 2015-2020), whilst Connor's feeling Evil (Michelle King and Robert King, 2019- ) and Joey considers online game, Among Us. This week's Olympic Freestyle sees the troublesome troika squirm over being forced to discuss who brings them the most joy.

If you have any questions or are curious about Jessica and Hannah-Kate's musical, then get in touch on their socials.

On today's show, the guys are joined by a returning friend of the show, Ren O'Hare, who joins them in the Diving Pool to discuss drag. Getting wet 'n' wild in the Splash Zone, Joey considers a Venice Film Festival-favourite from last year that is finally getting its Irish release: Rialto (Peter Mackie Burns, 2019); Peter is mesmerised by the live performance boogieing of Sam Herring, singer of the band Future Islands; and Connor is b*witched by Sky Studios' first original drama, The Third Day (Dennis Kelly and Felix Barrett, 2020). Plus, questionable former fashion trends (and decisions) are discussed in Olympic Freestyle.

Ren currently has 3 shows on Trinity FM (@trinity_fm):

• Shall we get a cat – Tuesdays, 6pm.

The park's reopened, but there's an enemy in the water! Don't worry though, it's no shark. Just Seán "Nascar" Noonan. On today's episode, Seán returns to the show and dives on Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929), but does he dive deep or only make it to the shallows? Joey splashes an update on the NBA finals, and then cherishes Ireland's aptly-named "wet pubs" in Splash Zone, while Peter recommends the second season of Ramy (Ari Katcher, Ryan Welch, Ramy Youssef, 2019- ), and Connor talks a lot about the many problems of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Joss Whedon, 1997-2003) at the same time as being completely hooked on it. Ain't that right, pet? All this plus the guys discuss their controversial opinions in Olympic Freestyle.

It may be late September, but it's still hot enough for a trip to the waterpark! On today's show, the guys are joined by their jingle Queen, Hannah Kate Ní Shioradáin, who brings her roller skates and a passion for disco to the diving pool. The gang even chat about their fondest and most troubling disco memories, and what groovy moves Joey brings to the dance floor. In Splash Zone, Joey considers The Band; Peter recommends BBC Sounds' 'Where is George Gibney?' podcast, and Connor goes bananas for Bear Lemon's baked treats. All this, plus a rather romantic (or is it?) Olympic Freestyle, and a much anticipated return of Die deutschen Nachrichten. You should be dancing.

The sun's out, you say? That should only mean one thing: get your swims out and head to the waterpark with FYC! Okay, maybe that's two things. Don't forget some suncream either. We're not maths students—we forgot how to count. For this week's episode, we are joined by returning friend of the show, Grace Kenny, who brings New Girl (Elizabeth Meriwether, 2011-2018) to the Diving Pool. On Splash Zone this week, Peter splashes you with Fresh Meat (Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, 2011-2016); Joey talks ESPN's 30 for 30 2-parter on Lance Armstrong and Connor revives Consider Dublin with IMMA's walled gardens in Kilmainham. The team then get their speedos on for a bit of Olympic Freestyle. 

Follow Grace on Instagram: @graceskenny.

SPOILER WARNING: we dive deep with New Girl in this episode, so if you wanna avoid some major plot spoilers (particularly about the ending) then listen to the interview at your own discretion.

FYC is feeling old today, because it's our 50th episode! Luckily for you, that means we're all finally allowed into the waterpark without adult supervision. In Splash Zone Joey considers Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green; Peter shows off that he can read by recommending Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling by Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, and Connor's dreams come true after listening to Audible's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. 

Over in the Diving Pool, Joey interrogates Peter and Connor about FYC's origins, and reveals some of the show's darkest secrets. This week we go deep into the FYCU.
