[PREVIEW] STFC #31 Garage

Hello! We're back with another film club episode; Lenny Abrahamson's 2007 film Garage. Possibly Pat Short's debut as a serious film actor and by god it's depressing, but definitely worth a watch. We've also started a Letterboxd list of every Irish film we could think of if you want to check it, and feel free to leave suggestions for more movies below! This is the pool we'll be taking future film club episodes from.

We're Back Baby

Hello! So it's been a busy summer, we've been working on changes to the show in the background and as part of that we're leaving the Headstuff network. There's more about that in our last post but basically nothing will change with the main feed but the bonus stuff will be back on Patreon again. To start back here's a quick catch up episode about what we've been up to this summer, mostly we talked about the Poc Fada, the Fleadh, Mayo, and other good rural pursuits. This is a free episode going out to everyone but, if you do want to sign up to get access to all our back catalogue membership is only €2 a month at the minute. We'll put it back to €5 in a few weeks when we start back up properly so could be a good time to catch up! Cheers, Kevin & Jason

Goodbye Headstuff

Hello! Sorry we've been quiet this summer, we've been working on stuff in the background, making some changes to the podcast, and as part of these changes we've decided to leave the Headstuff network. There'll be no change in how you listen to the regular episodes but our bonus episodes will no longer be on HeadStuff+ and will be back on ⁠⁠⁠Patreon again.⁠ We'd like to give a big shout out to Headstuff for all the help and opportunities this year, it's been a lot of fun getting to work with the team. Thanks, Kevin & Jason (G'luck / Sh'after)

[PREVIEW] STFC #24 - The Devils Own

Here's our review of The Devils Own, a 1997 action thriller starring Brad Pitt as an IRA man gunman, and Harrison Ford as the least crooked Here's our review of The Devils Own, a 1997 action thriller starring Brad Pitt as an IRA man gunman, and Harrison Ford as the least crooked cop in New Yoik. It's pretty fun, but also very dumb, a classic 90s thriller that deals with the complexity of the Troubles in the north by mostly ignoring it.

[PREVIEW] Goodbye Patreon

Hello! We've hinted at this a bit but, for the past two months we've been finalising a deal with Headstuff and we're delighted to say we'll be officially joining their podcast network this month. Basically it means we'll be making more steady money, we'll have a fancy studio to use, but it also means we'll be shutting down the Patreon. We'll be back uploading regular episodes later this month, and you'll still have access to all the mainfeed bits as usual, but the bonus stuff will be over on Headstuff's platform, Headstuff+. We're going to leave the Patreon up for now with the payments turned off (so no one should be getting charged for it any more, please send me a message if you are!) and we'll keep uploading most of the bonus content to Patreon as we transition over, but eventually all the Cowboy Specials, the Film Clubs, the sequels, etc. will be exclusive to Headstuff+. We recorded this episode to catch up over the past few weeks, and in classic form I lost the SD card for a week then realised one of the mics wasn't turned on properly. This is why we need Headstuff to look after us. We'll have the Devil's Own Film Club episode out tomorrow (after I fix the audio) but we just wanted to thank you all for all your support over the last six years, and we're looking forward to getting these new episodes out soon! Thanks - Kevin & Jason

[PREVIEW] Éamon de Valera Live w/ Donal Fallon

Hello! Bloody hell, it's been another crazy few months and we've disappeared once again, sorry about that. We had an unreal time at the live show last month and then took some time off to finish other projects, one of us even got engaged. But we also spent that time making a grubby deal about the future of the podcast so we'll have some exciting news about that soon. (Well maybe not exciting but news that means we'll be putting out much more regular episodes, so that's good). Also, thanks again to everyone who came out to the live show, it was a really fun night, and great to meet so many of ye there. And for anyone who missed it, this is the recording from the show in the Laughter Lounge where we talked about the Long Fella with Donal Fallon, who is really just a great guest. Hopefully ye enjoy this and we'll be back with more new episodes very shortly.
