LOL even Beans was shocked by the truth of the butt bandage event! She meow'd in horror! St Patrick is a big figure in ireland where he served as bishop and missionary in the early Church. He was originally from Britain though. Although he was not canonized as a Saint he is regarded as such by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox (where he is considered as integral as the Apostles.) Long story short, yes he is big time among Irish. Fun fact: Chicago, one of the major Irish centers in the US, dyes the Chicago River green every St Patricks Day. Quite the sight to see.

So David didn’t know and the look of horror & fear is completely real for them all! I’m here in Atlanta at a con and Sean & David are here, but Norman got hurt filming The Walking Dead and isn’t coming. I’ve met them all before and have gotten pics with them. I actually met David at a bar after the con & he was a hoot! Sean actually sat there at the con & talked to me for 15 minutes because I caught him right before he was leaving for the evening, very nice guy.

Been following you for a couple of years now (and on Patreon for a year).... and it's fun to see you now. Reviewing movies by comparing them to other movies that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. You've really joined the 'zeitgeist', you're hip to pop culture now. That's awesome.

I am so thrilled you watched this movie. This was one of my favorite movies in college and I saew it a bunch of times. This review made me dig it out again and remember how awesome it was. This is such a Boston movie, so that gives it an extra place in my heart. That bridge they're on during the opening titles is the Longfellow Bridge between Cambridge and Boston and every time I walk on that bridge I think of that scene, especially around that exact area they're standing. Also about the Copley Plaza Hotel where the Russian guys were shot: about 10 years ago I got to do a cosplay photo shoot in the lobby of that hotel during Anime Boston. It's a really pretty hotel (thankfully the staff didn't care about a random cosplay shoot). As someone said before, Bob Marley who played Greenly is a stand-up comedian who's pretty well known in New England. I got to see him perform at a big corporate function several years ago, he's super funny.

There is quite the story surrounding the writer/director Troy Duffy. He is a true one hit wonder in the film industry. I think he was a bouncer and hung out with stars. He pitched this idea to a few and finally got some funds to produce it. He hasn't done much since (thanks to his ego, so I hear) other than the bad sequel. And there is some really good detail in this movie. Note that when Rocco rushes home and packs his shiite he grabs the iron and that iron was used later to cauterize their wounds.

@@usascorpio Norman is super laid back. He once helped carry my drunk ex back to the room 🤦🏻‍♀️

I freakin' love this movie so much! So many compelling and interesting characters and a great story. Great choice for shamrocks and shenanigans day!

Really liking today's shirt Ashley!

The actor who plays the old Irish bartender with Tourette’s played the old man in Fraggle Rock whose house the Fraggles live under. That’s probably what you recognize him from.

Some other great Irish titles worth watching include: Finian's Rainbow, Darby O' Gill and the Little People, Luck of the Irish, and Secret of Kells.

@@keyman6689 Leap Year made my worst list of 2020. I haven’t seen Miller’s Crossing though.

For future St. Patrick's Day viewings, I'd highly recommend The Quiet Man with John Wayne, and the Irish movie Waking Ned Devine. They're both great movies, and I promise that no cats are harmed in either of them.

Fun fact: Red hair, associated with the Irish, actually was introduced (ahem) into the population by Viking raiders. The Celt population generally had dark hair with blue eyes. Bonus fun fact: One of the red hair genes is Neanderthal in origin (my students tell me that it is cool to have Neanderthal DNA in a 23&me test).

Yep, my red hair came from my Grandfather's side. He's Welsh and his family comes from a village on the coast that was raided and later settled by vikings.

"I thought it was a tomato that was on the table. I didn't know it was the cat!" ;)

I love how the further along it goes, the more manic Dafoe gets. He starts out calm and collected, and by the end, as was so gleefully pointed out, he needs a cigarette.

that dye Smecker put on the dead Russian's hand is checking for GSR (gun shot residue) - a way of telling if the person recently discharged a weapon. Also, It took me way too long to remember about the cat scene that was coming.

"I thought it was a tomato!" is probably one of the funniest things I've ever heard on KZread

Love the look to the door at the second try as if the door was coming for 😂✨

Such a great film. Willem kills it in an uncomfortably awesome way

As he kind of always does...

I really liked this movie a lot when I saw it on Netflix years ago. Such a FUN action movie with really cool sequences & score. Except for the cat. 😳 But we don’t talk about that.😬

Very energetic review there Ash, :-D

I'm sorry Ashleigh...I laughed so hard at the look on your face when Rocco shot the cat! :D

Ashleigh you HAVE to watch the James Bond movies. Just start with the first one, Dr No, and go through them in order.

One of my faves. This started my fascination with ropes and Rambo movies.

Absolutely one of my all-time favourite movies, and I appreciate your excellent reaction. The reason I'm immediately subscribing, however, is that somehow you know "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" by Tiny Tim. That's a Deep Cut, nice job. 😉

It is a commentary on Ashleigh's innocence that it took her seeing Defoe's character in bed with a man before she realized that the character was gay.
