Scannain Podcast - #3 - 2019

It's time for the latest Scannain podcast!

This week, Darren Mooney, Grace Duffy, Ronan Doyle, Jay Coyle and Alex Towers from When Irish Eyes Are Watching discuss the week in film news. We may all have been sneaking out to catch Zodiac at the Lighthouse, so it's a fast-paced discussion this week. Highlights include chance encounters at a midnight screening of Michael Mann's Heat, trying to make sense of The Sisters Brothers, and the bizarre premise that is Monkey Shines.

In terms of film news, the big news of the week is given over to the announcement of the Academy Awards nominations and the Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival launch, along with the passing of Jonas Mekas.
