Ep. 240: Wild Mountain Thyme

This week, Gavia and Morgan watch one of 2020's most poorly received films, John Patrick Shanley's adaptation of his own play Wild Mountain Thyme. Starring Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan as lifelong neighbors who haven't ever been able to confess their true feelings for each other, the movie is a mystifyingly bad stab at romantic dramedy. Topics include Shanley's cringeworthy script, wooden performances from most members of the cast, the film's embarrassing depiction of Ireland, and more.
