Wet Cold Irish Summer

The Guinness Cork Jazz Festival! Ross loves jazz, and it's nice to hear someone enthuse about a passion, isn't it? PLUS: comedy discourse.

Mmmm... memento mori. This week the boys go underground for Halloween season, peering into the 18th century crypt hidden beneath the Triskel Arts Centre in the middle of Cork city. PLUS: how we'd like to be buried/ground into dust, and a violent spat with a local pizza place. --"Shadowlands 4 - Breath" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

ART. The boys chat to Cork artist Sarah Long about her work - and then tackle the big questions: what is art for? Is the death penalty bad? And what does Blindboy look like??-Sarah Long's exhibition 'I Want to Talk About Ireland' is on display at the Triskel in Cork until October 25. -RECOMMENDEDs:Doctor Who, 'Vincent and the Doctor' (2010)

BE EMERGENCY READY. The government's little booklet has frightened the boys into staying indoors this week. Stock up on cans, set your portable radio to Wet Cold Irish Summer, and wedge your head between your knees to preserve your dental records.-RECOMMENDEDs:MUSIC'Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima' (Krzysztof Penderecki, 1961)'Five Years' (David Bowie, 1972)'Breathing' (Kate Bush, 1980)'99 Luftballons' (Nena, 1983)'Two Tribes' (Frankie Goes to Hollywood, 1984)'Everyday is Like Sunday' (Morrissey, 1988)FILMGodzilla (1954)Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)Planet of the Apes (1968) et al'A Guide to Armageddon' (BBC Q.E.D., 1982)Threads (1984)When the Wind Blows (1986)Grave of the Fireflies (1988)That scene from Terminator 2 (1991)Children of Men (2006)Take Shelter (2011)Melancholia (2011)28 Years Later (2025) 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)TVThe Twilight Zone: - 'Time Enough at Last' (1959)- 'A Little Peace and Quiet' (1985)The Simpsons:- 'Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming' (1995)Tram crash episode of Coronation Street (2010)Twin Peaks: The Return:- Part 8 (2017)Years and Years (2019)
