    The Host
    Jul 4 2025
    This week, the great Andrew Jagielski returns to the show to discuss the last of Saoirse's attempts towards traditional stardom, Andrew Niccol's The Host. An adaptation of the only non-Twilight novel Stephenie Meyer ever wrote, the film stars Saoirse as a young woman possessed by an alien parasite dueling for control over her body, and get this - they both like different boys. Listen in as we debate the metrics by which one determines what is the worst, eulogize the Saw franchise, consider the long term benefits of being in a flop, and go long on Saoirse's career in comparison to other actresses of her generation.

    Byzantium
    Jun 27 2025
    This week, we're checking back in with our old friend Neil Jordan for 2012's Byzantium, in which Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan play mother and daughter vampires eking out a living in an English coastal town. Listen as we ponder such questions as: are vampires played out as a narrative concept? Does this movie function as an earnest feminist counter to its sex-centered marketing? Is this movie an attempt to better execute the core ideas behind Jordan's previous film Ondine? Is Caleb Landy Jones Good in this? What's going on with Caleb Landry Jones' Wikipedia page? What's going on with this movie's Wikipedia page? What going on with Chris Columbus' Wikipedia page? The answers to these questions, and more, can be found within.

    Violet & Daisy
    Jun 21 2025

    This week, the great Justin Stillmaker returns to the show to discuss Violet & Daisy, the... other movie from 2011 where Saoirse Ronan plays a teen girl assassin. Co-starring Alexis Bledel, the film was the directorial debut and swan song of Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Precious Geoffrey S. Fletcher, and as we try to wrap our heads around this befuddling movie and his incredibly brief career, we also defend Spike Lee's honor, continue to litigate the long cultural tail of Quentin Tarantino, somehow keep mentioning Seijun Suzuki, and contemplate alternate casting possibilities both real (this was almost a Saoirse/Carey Mulligan vehicle!) and imagined. But we devote most of the episode towards eulogizing the legendary James Gandolfini, in one of his last performances before his untimely death.
