5 MINS LATER
Juju GreenHOST
And I feel people forget that.
Juju GreenHOST
That's such an important part of watching a movie, and to forget how that movie made you feel versus kind of like, yeah, we could talk about script, we could talk about story, we could talk about craft and all those type of things, but I've seen movies on a shoestring budget, right? You could tell they're just doing their best with what they got, but emotionally that movie hits me so hard, and that's what puts a movie high on my list for me.
Domhnall GleesonGUEST
Yeah, I've been trying to think about those lists people do, your four favorite films, all that sort of stuff.
Domhnall GleesonGUEST
thinking about all that and then i was like i can only pick one that really made me go to pieces you know because i don't want all four to be those ones yeah but like manchester by the sea after son father's father daughter yeah exactly that was one that came to mind there and and yeah and manchester by the sea i guess is is has got father daughter and father yeah yeah multiple like yeah and like levels of it films like uh films like that are just like The ones that can overwhelm you are like, as you say, they're not the biggest budgets, but they mean as much as anything.

Johnny SpoilerHOST
The Incomer is a fantasy comedy-drama directed by Lewis Paxton, starring Gaila Rankin, Damal Gleeson, and John Hanna.
Johnny SpoilerHOST
The film follows Isla and Sandy, siblings who are living on a remote Scottish island who hunt birds, speak with mythical beings, and fend off outsiders.
Johnny SpoilerHOST
Their lives are turned upside down when Daniel, an awkward government official, arrives to relocate them.
Johnny SpoilerHOST
The Incomer.
Johnny SpoilerHOST
As I said, it's a 2026 British comedy-dramedy-fantasy.
Johnny SpoilerHOST
It's really a Scottish comedy.
Johnny SpoilerHOST
Their worldview is completely upended, but when Daniel shows up, a socially inept council worker, he arrives to relocate them, introducing them to mainland conventions like paperwork, internet wizardry, and veganism.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
It's also a lovely film about filmmaking, before the filmmaking has even started.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
Our last indie film in theaters this week is The Incomer.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
Written and directed by Louis Paxton, this Scottish comedy stars Donald Gleeson as a council worker about to have a very difficult conversation with two people who would rather he wasn't there.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
Daniel has been sent to a remote island to bring its last residents back to the mainland.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
That's where these three begin to find each other.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
Under all the absurdity, they're people who could use a friend, even if they never think to ask.
Glenn ReynoldsHOST
So in theaters this week, that's E.D. Arnold is a Loser, The Scout, and The Incomer.
