In particular, it benefits.
Jonathan RossHOST
And this is why... lifts it above almost all the other shows that are at the moment like the gentleman for example which has an okay cast the gentleman has come back and he's got an okay cast it's fun this has got a much better cast in to my mind and it's also much better writing as well as well i think jez butterworth is running the show it was created by some guy i think it might be based on his books but it's about two warring families initially the harrogans and another bunch in london The Harrigans is the Helen Mirren family with Piers Bosnan, and they're really great, silly, over-the-top characters.
Jonathan RossHOST
But the character at the heart of it all is Tom Hardy.
Honey RossHOST
Oh, come on.
Jim DuffyNARRATOR
We grabbed the proverbial bull by the horns and ran with it.
Jim DuffyNARRATOR
There's a little proverbial thrown around in the expletive-filled gangster dialogue, especially the jarringly frequent C word from creator Ronan Bennett, author of The Day of the Jackal, and lead writer Jez Butterworth, author of Ford versus Ferrari and Spectre.
Jim DuffyNARRATOR
There's a lot of the C word and the F word and the B word, And every other word, Mirren says, that's part of the poetry.
Jim DuffyNARRATOR
We'd never want to cut any of it, Brosnan adds.
Patrick DarmesHOST
Put a huge pin in that, because them saying that the film does not contradict the second one is a bunch of bullshit.
Patrick DarmesHOST

Philip MetresGUEST
I'm a professor of English and I teach creative writing.
Philip MetresGUEST
I'm really interested in the intersections between art and social change, art and peace building, art and conflict resolution.
Philip MetresGUEST
I teach a course on Irish literature with an emphasis on the troubles, and I teach a course on Palestinian and Israeli literatures.
Philip MetresGUEST
Right.
Philip MetresGUEST
And I'm going to situate the conversation right around the play because I have read it and I've been, you know, obviously thinking a lot about depiction.
Philip MetresGUEST
The first thing that amazes me is that an Englishman wrote the play and yet it has all this richness of Irish lore, culture.
Philip MetresGUEST
And I think it does a very authentic job at depicting you know, this rural Northern Irish life.
Pierce BrosnanGUEST
this kind of wild, manic, crazy character.
Pierce BrosnanGUEST
You know, Jez Butterworth gave it to me on the page, really.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
Right.

Rebecca MosleyHOST
Mm-hmm.
