  • The Saoirse Ronan Garbage Plate

    The Saoirse Ronan Garbage Plate
    2026/07/24
    Over the course of her career, Saoirse Ronan has done a large number of short films, music videos, TV appearances, and other ephemera, all of which are too short on their own for a full episode but otherwise fall under the scope of this podcast. This week, we'll be taking a look at all her odds and ends, from her early days as an actor to what is, as of now, the most recent project in which she appears, anchored to a discussion of her sole gig hosting Saturday Night Live. And of course, if we're here to discuss a bunch of random nonsense, you know we had to bring the great Jeff Sweeney along for the ride.

  • On Chesil Beach

    On Chesil Beach
    2026/07/16
    This week, the great Sadie Rose Darwish returns to discuss Saoirse's other, failed 2017 Oscar hopeful On Chesil Beach. The story of ill-matched newlyweds dealing with class and gender expectations in 1960s England, the movie, an adaptation of a novella by Atonement scribe Ian McEwan, marks an attempted return to safe territory for Saoirse to somewhat disastrous results.

    Lady Bird

    This week, the great Morgan Garrity returns to discuss the titular role, the name she gave herself, the movie that will almost certainly go down in history as the defining Saoirse Ronan character - it's Lady Bird!

  • Loving Vincent

    Loving Vincent
    2026/07/02
    This week, the great Andrew Kinsella returns to discuss Loving Vincent, a rotoscoped semi-biopic of Vincent Van Gogh that seems to mostly exist just to show off how time intensive it was to make. Listen in as we chat about the movie's laborious production, the career of Oscar Isaac (who's not in this picture), and the Beatles. Both the band and the movies.

  • Weepah Way for Now

    Weepah Way for Now
    2026/06/25
    We're back! This week, we're talking Weepah Way for Now, a loosely autobiographical star vehicle for pop duo Aly & AJ in which Saoirse plays a ghost. This one seems winsome but gets kinda freaky. If you're wondering why we mostly spend this episode speculating about things that already happened and talking about dead people like they're alive it's because we recorded it in January.

  • Brooklyn

    Brooklyn
    2025/12/01
    Now this one, this is the big one. It's Brooklyn, the 2015 immigrant drama that saw Saoirse Ronan earn her second Oscar nomination and lay out the template for her movie star career. It's also a movie your hosts like very, very, much. We get into why this is such an endearing picture, along with tangents on Oscars new and old, Florence Pugh, Harry Potter, Brie Larson, Actorle, the literary afterlives of the novel, and the ugly side of black metal.

  • Stockholm, Pennsylvania

    Stockholm, Pennsylvania
    2025/11/23
    After several years negotiating the shift into adulthood via a series of supporting roles, Saoirse Ronan made her triumphant return to stardom by headlining a serious drama at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival which would assert her status as a respected actor and set the course for the rest of her career. This is... not that movie. This is Stockholm, Pennsylvania, a misguided kidnapping drama which was her other attempt at reintroducing herself as a dramatic lead, that also played that Sundance, but would have a hasty release and be quickly forgotten. It's a weird one gang!

  • Ballad of a Small Player

    Ballad of a Small Player
    2025/11/16
    This week we're back to talking Colin with the second of his two starring roles of 2025. This time, he's playing a gambler at the end of his rope in Edward Berger's Ballad of a Small Player, a potential Oscar play for Netflix that received a chilly reception on the festival circuit and, at time of recording, appears to have been quietly dumped, much to the consternation of both your hosts (this movie's good!). Listen in for a lot of James Bond talk, a lot of Tilda Swinton talk, an awards season check-in, a debate over this film's use of Macau as a setting, and an attempt to figure out why they bend the cards in baccarat (spoilers: it's way dumber than you could ever imagine).
