Bob and Brad finally watch Martin McDonagh’s *In Bruges* and fall hard for its mix of pitch-black comedy, tragedy, moral philosophy, and extraordinary performances from Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson…
I guess let's start before we even get into Brad explains by just kind of setting up the movie a little bit.
And crucially... was a reuniting of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in the lead roles.
Now, for those who are not familiar with Martin McDonough, he is a playwright that spent, you know, the 90s and the early 2000s mostly doing stage plays.
My first Martin McDonough film was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which I think came out in, what, 2019? Nominated for Best Picture.
And I think sometimes it's just it's really hard for people that grow up in other countries to really get a grasp on American culture, especially when there's an element of parody around it.
It's kind of like you can really only parody the culture that you're in or that you're from.
Okay, this guy, when you put him in a context that he knows well, this works really, really well.
