Oh, the Places We'll Go: Irish Movies

On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we travel to Ireland for this season’s installment of our "Oh, the Places We’ll Go" series. 

Our first stop is "Once," where we sing the praises of nameless characters, the prescience of a throw-away thought, and a film that doesn’t end on a high note but rather the perfect note. 

Next up, we journey to the empty streets of County Meath with "Fatal Deviation." We question why an ultimate fighting tournament is hosted by monks, how an old mob boss keeps teleporting around town, and how late ‘80s/early ‘90s action movies influenced this "so bad it’s good" cult classic.
