Chatting Pictures - The Irish Film Review
By Marty Devine
In every episode, we choose an Irish film and give it the full Chatting Pictures treatment (which usually means drenching it in gin and ruining the DVD player).
We measure fillums (films) on the Arron Sweater-o-Meter (how twee Oirish it is), whether it’s In the Ra (does it deal with themmuns?), and rank them by how many Snakes on the Staff (of St Patrick) out of ten it gets.
Recorded in-person in the Drumquin Picturehouse in county Tyrone, Ireland

Nollaig Nostalgia - Home Alone
Nollaig Nostalgia - it rings a bell!
Leave a spoilt sociopathic child to
defend a mansion against two desperate
victims of capitalism and hilarity
ensues! Get the jammies on, we’ve got
fifteen scoops of ice cream! Bíodh
grianstad mhaith an gheimhridh ort!
Finian's Rainbow
Francis Ford-Coppola? Musical? Leprechaun’s curing racism with blackface? Sounds like this adaptation of a broadway caper is right up the Chatting Picture’s street!

Michael Collins Part 3 of 3
This biography of the Big Fella who didn’t get out of the car during the moon landing (a bit of Belfast proficiency is what that boy needs) is most definitely In the Ra.

Grabbers
Marty chose this boozy comedy of Aliens invading an island off Ireland’s shore. Batten down the hatches - time for a lock in!

Intermission
William calls this star studded romp through Dublin’s grimy underbelly his favourite film and there’s no shortage of Chef’s sauce. Requisite Celtic soul recommended.

Samhain Special - The Devil's Doorway
A found footage horror set in the dingiest mother and babies home in Ireland, with exorcisms and sacrifices. And James’ gossip column.

The Quiet Man
This classic of US cinema is beloved across the generations, but how quiet was he with his flying fists and raunchy tongue?
