- TV & Film
Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Charlene Lydon and Rioghnach Ní Ghrioghair, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users.
This time, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard.
Screenwriter Joe Gillis is found floating upside down in the pool of silent era film star Norma Desmond. As the authorities begin to piece together exactly what happened, Gillis' corpse narrates a sordid tale of desperation, resentment, lust - and Hollywood haunted by its own past.
At time of recording, it was ranked 64th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
