A packed week at the Scannain podcast, looking at the week in Irish cinema.
Still recovering from the Audi Dublin International Film Festival and the Oscars, I was delighted to join Niall Murphy and Grace Duffy on the podcast. We discussed all the usual topics: the mountains of films that we had watched during the festival, and while snowed in; the weekly top ten including Game Night, Lady Bird and Black Panther; and the slew of high-quality new releases including The Lodgers and You Were Never Really Here.
A very brief Scannain podcast for a very busy week!
Discussing the latest in film news here and abroad, the Scannain podcast is a weekly podcast discussion of what we watched, what we talked about, what is dominating and the box office, and what is lurking on the horizon film-wise. This week we talked about everything from food bullying to Ryan Murphy to the upcoming slate of Irish horror films, along with usual features like the top ten.
I’m thrilled to be part of a panel including returning guest Grace Duffy and new guests Nicola Timmins and (late arrival) Daniel Anderson. Give it a listen below.

The wonderful folk over at Scannain, spearheaded by the fantastic Niall Murphy, are relaunching the Scannain podcast. I was lucky enough to appear as a guest and panelist on some of the older episodes, and was thrilled to be invited back for the launch of the new and improved Scannain podcast that will see a rotating pool of guests discussing the week in film – what we watched, film news, the top ten and new releases.
I was thrilled to join Niall Murphy, Grace Duffy and Jason Coyle for the Scannain End of Year Podcast 2017, a podcast looking back at the best and worst in film in the Irish calendar year of 2017. Included is a discussion of the biggest films at the Irish box office, the worst films of the year, and each individual’s top ten films.
We’re hoping to get recording the podcast with a bit more regularity in the new year, but, in the meantime, check out the podcast below.
