Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For March, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, they are watching bad “Irish” films.

This week, they watch Troy Duffy’s 2009 sequel to his cult classic film The Boondock Saints, which was released 10 years after the original (and failed to live up to the original’s hype).

  • Directed by: Troy Duffy
  • Written by: Troy Duffy (screenplay), Troy Duffy & Taylor Duffy (story)
  • Starring: Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Billy Connolly, Clifton Collins Jr., Julie Benz

Hobo Radio Interviews – Kneecap & Writer/Director Rich Peppiatt

The members of the Belfast hip hop group Kneecap had every reason to be skeptical in 2019 when they were approached by someone claiming to be a filmmaker who wanted to tell their story.

Luckily, over many, many pints of Guinness, writer/director Rich Peppiatt was able to talk Moglaí Bap, Mo Chara and DJ Provaí into telling their story in a kinetic, entertaining biopic that hits theaters tomorrow.

We chatted with the band and writer/director about the film, the fight to get Irish recognized as a language in the north of Ireland and the chaotic decision to release a new album and movie simultaneously.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar
