Scannain Podcast - #6 - 2019

It's time for the latest Scannain podcast!

This week, Darren Mooney, Ronan Doyle, Jay Coyle and Luke Dunne from Film in Dublin discuss the week in film news. We have a broad and wide-ranging discussion of what we watched, asking tough questions like whether Flash Gordon really is the horniest movie ever made and ruminating on the visual power of Shrek Retold. There are also discussions of The Miseducation of Cameron Post and the thirties thriller Red Dust.

News-wise, awards season continues apace with the race settling down after the BAFTAs and Roma emerging as the frontrunner. Simultaneously, the Oscars continue to be a struggle to get their show organised.
