The Luck of the Irish (2001)
St. Patrick’s Day may have passed, but the heart of the Emerald Isle still beats strong in our chests. So, we are going to express our heritage loud and proud this month by reviewing The Luck of the Irish. Join us as we follow the rainbow to find the pot of gold at the end, even if instead of gold we find confusing Leprechaun logic and a surprising amount of American propaganda.
Emma bashes her heritage and is obsessed with pit stains.
Lucas flexes his Irish accent and does a one-man show.
Austin realizes he knows nothing about Leprechauns.

Editor’s Note: We were trying out a new recording software and, while it worked pretty well, it did result in a little audio weirdness at times.
