Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy in "Intermission" (2003)

This week, Gavia and Morgan discuss John Crowley's 2003 debut film Intermission, an early-aughts blast from the past starring Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy, Kelly Macdonald, and many more as a group of interconnected characters in Dublin. Topics include the film's relationship with other multi-plot films from the nineties and aughts, its cringey throwback misogyny, Crowley and screenwriter Mark O'Rowe's later work, and more.
