Irish Troubles, Part III: In America


Listen Later

Welp. Due to technical difficulties with Blake's mic, the audio is a little wonky on this one. Jamison goes in and out of sounding like an automaton while you hear everything Blake does including clicking a mouse and breathing. My apologies for this. We were only willing to put so much effort into this low-effort podcast.

Nonetheless, Jamison and Blake talk about sleep while having kids, American myths and their theme parks, and the good feeling parents get when their kids are overjoyed to see them. Then we turn our attention to the next two films in the McDonagh Bros. filmographies, War on Everyone (2016) and Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) and their requisite controversies and how non-American directors and writers write about America and what it has to teach us about the bullshit myths we outsource to other countries. Tune in (despite technical difficulties) for what was an enlivening conversation.


Clip from War on Everyone (2016).
