We\u2019re cracking the seal on our Class of 2020 films and somehow manage to do it without miring ourselves in the depression that was the first covid year! And as promised, we\u2019re talking about Wild Mountain Thyme<\/em>, the oddball romantic comedy from Moonstruck<\/i> Oscar winner John Patrick Shanley, adapted from his Tony-nominated play Outside Mullingar<\/i>. The film casts Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan as two Irish farm dwellers who have been dancing around a would-be romance since childhood, and was one of the several films bandied about among Oscar prognosticators in a year that saw few films released, much less pushed for Oscar.<\/p>\n This episode, we get into the film\u2019s oddball twist and the ire inspired by the film\u2019s… shall we say… questionable dialects. We also discuss Shanley\u2019s less successful career as a film director, Blunt\u2019s mighty precursor history that has led to zero Oscar nominations, and the current moment where Jamie Dornan sings in all of his movies.<\/p>\n Topics also include the 2020 Golden Globes, The Great Chipmunk Adventure<\/em>, and Debra Messing\u2019s Irish accent that must be heard to be believed.<\/p>\n Follow Us on Twitter!
