Shirleon joins Melvin in summarizing and reliving the early DCOM era of television with The Luck of the Irish, a movie that wears its inspiration on its sleeve! From weird patriotism to grotesque food, the two have fun traveling back to the early '00s for some wacky-and-weird high-school hijinks!
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 49-minutes of discussing Denis Villeneuve's disinterest in "extended cuts" and "deleted scenes", why we're so enamored with extended/unrated cuts of movies, the concept of fan-edits, and the tragedy of lost versions of films. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- The Luck of the Irish isn't subtle in how it plays with ideas explored in Teen Wolf, although its various changes are far stranger.
- There aren't many showcases of food in the film that ostensibly isn't about food. Even so, every shot of food in this film is truly criminal.
- A main throughline of the film is a conversation on Irish-prejudice. Although this is a very real thing that took place in the U.S., and has also happened overseas, the heft with-which the movie tackles the topic is simultaneously absurd and overly serious.
- It isn't used enough, but the shrink-effect in the film is neat. There's some fun macro-props of otherwise small objects.
- So... like... does the general population know Leprechaun lore?
