The Banshees of Inishirin

Aussie and the Scotsman talk movies

This week we are reviewing the 2022 black tragicomedy film The Banshees of Inisherin directed, written, and co-produced by Martin McDonagh.

Set on a remote fictional island off the west coast of Ireland in 1923, The film stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two lifelong friends who find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their friendship, with severe consequences for both of them.

Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan co-star.

Hilarious start with the intro - if you listen to nothing else - just listen to the first 10 seconds.

Then we start discussing the Scotman's new hobby - woodturning - and a near disaster with a bowl.

The Aussie tells us a story about a broken credit card - but is it the card, the user, the limit or something else? It's a mystery......... As we delve deeper into the characters of the movies - the tone takes a turn and we delve deep into the characters of the Aussie and the Scotsman.

One of them is needy, loves to praised, is sweet and innocent but can turn if wronged. The other is boorish, grumpy and intolerant - who could they be talking about?

This is such a good movie - with four of the best Irish actors.

Both boys tell some heart felt stories about friends that have disappeared and friends they have grown distant from.

Are you an extrovert, an introvert or an ambivert? We discuss why one type of person feels drained in a group setting and why others feel energised - and how to recharge your battery when you feel drained.

And the Scotsman talks about his impulse control issues.
